Chapter 288 the Owner of the Necklace

The conversation of the two people and the picture were seen by Wendy. Wendy saw the necklace in
the first glance.

She saw it in the office of Brian. Although there were many necklace of the same style, but her felt it
was given to Winnie by Brian.

Klara and Laura kept chatting. Wendy was to see Laura’s answer.

Klara: Whose necklace is it?

Laura: It's Winnie's.

Laura: I said her boyfriend bought it, and she said no, but she couldn't tell me how much it cost and
didn't know where she bought it. Hey, guys. isn’t that strange?

Klara sent a surprised emoji.

Klara: It must have been a gift. She never wears jewelry.

Laura: Guess who sent it?

Klara: You know?

Klara asked in reply, but she had already suspected or even confirmed that it was sent by Brian.

Laura: I asked you because I didn't know.

...

Two people were still discussing, while Wendy was angry.



It turned out that the owner of the necklace was Winnie. The "W" on the necklace was the capital letter
of "Winnie". She did not know it and had thought it was of “Wendy”.

Brian seemed to love Winnie so much that he was not going to keep a distance with her. And he even
secretly gave Winnie a gift.

And Winnie received a gift but she was not low-key. She even took it out to show off.

Wendy threw things resentfully. At the moment she did not know what to do, just felt unsteadfast in
heart.

In the group, Laura and Klara had been chatting, but Wendy had never spoken.

She could not tell them that the necklace had been given to Winnie by Brian and was worth millions.
She would be the butt of their jokes.

Winnie liked that necklace. She always held it in her hand, but she did not know how much it cost.

After work, Winnie went to the parking lot outside the company to get her car. Just as she was about to
get in the car, the window of the car next to her suddenly dropped down.

"Winnie, have you got a minute?"

Winnie looked down at the sound and saw that Felix was calling her.

So she walked around her car to Felix.

"You want to see me, Chairman?”

Winnie bent down and said softly.

"Yes, get in the car and we'll go to the cafe."



Felix's tone was moderate, not dignified or cold as usual.

Winnie thought for a moment and then sat on the copilot's position.

In the private room of the cafe.

"Chairman, may I ask a glass of water for you? Coffee is bad for your health."

Winnie asked Felix in a gentle voice.

She knew Felix didn't like coffee because she met him so many times in the tea room.

"No need, it is just once."

Winnie’s words touched Felix, and unconsciously he compared her with Wendy.

What Wendy did was superficial and he could not see her heart. Although Winnie said irrelevant words,
she made him warm.

Alas......When could Wendy be sincere? When she could make people like her from heart?

"Winnie, I have something to tell you. It's about Luke."

Felix continued to speak.

"A few days ago we went out to play, Luke and I talked alone for a while. He still can't accept Wendy
and insisted to find his Mommy."

"No matter who Luke's Mommy is, we won’t accept her, but seeing Luke is sad, I feel uncomfortable."

Felix made his point, but he paused.

Winnie's face changed, because Felix could not accept her.



Although Felix did not deliberately say that to her, she knew that the not only Brian could only accept
her. From now on, she could not even have a crush on Brian.

"Chairman, just say what you want. If I can help you, I won't turn you down."

Winnie's voice became deep, because her heart was very sour.

"I want you to continue to be together with Brian like before, to take Luke with you. He likes you so
much. As long as you are there for him, he will give up looking for his Mommy. I wonder if you can
accept this offer."

After listening to Felix's words, Winnie laughed ironically in her heart.

She was Luke's Mommy, but ended up in such a position. No matter for Brian or Felix, she could only
be remembered when she was needed.

"I am very embarrassed by your request..."

Winnie did not know how to refuse, but she knew that she could not accept it.

Winnie paused for a moment before she continued.

"I can take care of Luke, but I can't live with Mr. Bennet. I can't let myself live as a mistress all my life. I
have my child and it will bring her shame and I will live with no dignity. And my aunt and sister would be
laughed at."

In order to keep Luke be with her, Winnie could only be with Brian. But now she had no need to be a
mistress.

"Don't think too much, Chairman. I'm not wishing to get married with Mr. Bennet taking advantage of
the child. I don't have that thought.”



"No matter what kind of relationship Mr. Bennet and I have, it's impossible for us to be together. He has
Wendy and I don't want to interfere in their marriage or ruin their happy life."

Winnie could only speak out what she thought, or she had no excuse to refuse him.

"I can understand you. I came to you because I have no other ways. What the child wants is a
complete home, which is not too much to ask. I just thought you and Brian being together would be a
home for Luke.”

Felix could not force Winnie on this matter. But he did not expect that Winnie refused so firmly.

With Brian's status and the unrivaled reputation of the Bennet family, Winnie should readily agree. Not
everyone had the opportunity to a mistress of Brain.

Winnie's frankness, her determination to protect her self-esteem and her nature of not being lost for
fame and wealth impressed Felix.

Nowadays, there were not many girls like this, and even fewer girls like Winnie were positive and brave
to face life.

"I'm sorry, Chairman, but I really can't agree. As long as you believe me, Luke can stay with me all his
life, and I will take good care of him and make him grow up excellent."

Winnie assured Felix that even if she could not give the children a complete home, she could educate
the two children well.

"Alas...... I can't force you."

Felix helplessly said.



It seemed that he would continue to be guilty to Luke, because he had not a more suitable person to
give Luke a complete home.

Because of Felix, Winnie came home late, and by the time she got home, the others had already
finished their dinner.

"Did you work overtime, Mommy?"

Megan asked Winnie standing next to the TV with a doll.

"Yes, let’s make program after I have dinner."

Winnie said to Luke who was watching TV.

"Ok, go and have your dinner, Mommy."

Luke answered. Then Winnie went directly to eat.

After dinner, Winnie called Luke to her bedroom.

She knew that Luke was very sensible. Megan could not accept something, but Luke could accept it.

"Luke, I have questions for you."

"Yes, Mommy."

Luke raised his spirit seeing his mother was serious.

"A few days ago you told Great Grandpa that you would look for Mommy?"

Winnie's voice was gentle for fear that he was nervous.



"Yes, I told him. The Bennet family was there that day, except for Mommy and Megan. I didn't feel well,
so I told him that."

"I also told him that I don't like Wendy, that I don't accept Wendy, and that I don't want Daddy to marry
Wendy."

Luke put his words again, but he did not tell Winnie Wendy stared at him angrily, for fear that Mommy
would be sad.

"Son, we won't talk about whether Daddy will get married."

"I just wanted to tell you not to worry about Mommy and Megan. We're in a different situation. It
happens all the time and you just have to learn to live with it."

Winnie understood what was going on and began to enlighten her child.

She continued.

"Son, you are now with Mommy, we are happy, so there is no need to say some things, or it may cause
backfire."

"How do you know all this, Mommy?"

Luke did not immediately give a response to Mommy's advice, but asked Mommy in turn.

He only said these words to his Great Grandpa. If Mommy knew that, it could be Great Grandpa said
something to her.

"Grandpa talked to Mommy today because he felt distressed for what you had said to him."

Winnie did not hide it from Luke, because only to tell the truth, Luke would not do it agian.



"What did Grandpa say to you? Did he give you a hard time?"

Luke immediately leaked the look of remorse, thinking that he had given Mommy trouble.

"No, he didn't. But Grandpa made a request that I couldn't do it."

"He asked me to live with Daddy and give you a complete home, but Mommy and Daddy are not
husband and wife."

"Do you understand what Mommy says?"

Winnie was afraid that Luke could not accept it and could only say it in this way.

"I understand, Mommy."

Luke felt depressed. Although he was happy that Mommy was with Daddy, it wasn't fair to Mommy.

"I refused, because it would hurt you and Megan the most. You'll be laughed at by your classmates.
You'll be gossiped about by everyone. It can be painful for the rest of your life and even affect your
marriage and family relationships."

"So Luke, I hope you can understand my decision."

"What did Grandpa say to you? Did he give you a hard time?"
Luke immediately leaked the look of remorse, thinking that he had given Mommy trouble.
"No, he didn't. But Grandpa made a request that | couldn't do it."

"He asked me to live with Daddy and give you a complete home, but Mommy and Daddy are not
husband and wife."

"Do you understand what Mommy says?"

Winnie was afraid that Luke could not accept it and could only say it in this way.

“| understand, Mommy."

Luke felt depressed. Although he was happy that Mommy was with Daddy, it wasn't fair to Mommy.

"| refused, because it would hurt you and Megan the most. You'll be laughed at by your classmates.
You'll be gossiped about by everyone. It can be painful for the rest of your life and even affect your
marriage and family relationships."

"So Luke, | hope you can understand my decision."
