Chapter 292 The warmth of a child

Wendy returned home. Although she drank a lot of wine, she was depressed. She could not fall asleep
and had a severe headache.

Lying on her bed, she kept thinking of Brian and Winnie, and even suspected that Brian and Winnie
now were together.

Wendy was very painful. She thought of Klara's words, compared with the second extreme approach,
she thought the first was feasible. She could find a variety of ways to make Winnie get mental blow.

Winnie had promised Leo that she would cooperate with male stars, and specific plans had begun to
draft. Winnie also began to receive simple acting training.

So she was busy again and now she could not get home regularly.

The two children were playing in the living room after dinner. The phone rang.

Megan noticed that it was Daddy calling and wanted to answer the phone. Luke did not fight it with her
and gave the phone to Megan.

“Daddy...”

Megan said happily.

They hadn't seen Daddy since Mommy's birthday, and though they called him almost every day, it didn't
make up for the fact that they missed him.

“Megan, do you behave well?”

Brian said in a gentle tone. Hearing the sound of Megan, he felt pleased.

“Yes, I am away a good girl. Daddy, my brother and me miss you. When can we see you?”



Megan’s words made Brian feel sweet.

“I will pick you up and play when I am available. Hold on for a few days.”

Brian wanted to spend more time with his children, but his time was limited by the amount of work.

“All right, then, we'll wait for two days. Daddy, have you eaten well and slept well these two days?”

Megan was disappointed, but she was still worried about her father.

“Yes, I eat and sleep well every day. You and brother must be obedient to Mommy.”

Brian's heart was warm and sweet for her daughter’s concern.

“Daddy, don’t worry, my sister and I will be obedient and I can take care of my sister and Mommy.”

Luke put his ears on the other side of the phone, and he could hear what Daddy said.

He felt it was time for him to take a stand. That was the only way to make Daddy rest assured.

“Good boy, Luke, I believe that you can take care of sister and mommy.”

The two children were sensible, which was the most gratifying thing for Brian, but he felt guilty to the
children.

“Daddy, don't work too hard. My sister and I don't need much money. You don't have to fight for us.
When we grow up, we will work on what we want.”

Luke felt distressed that Daddy worked day and night. Mommy told him that no matter what he wanted,
he had to earn it by himself and not rely on others.

“Ok, I won’t, and I believe Luke and Megan have this ability.”



Brian was touched but his heart was sore. The children were sensible, but it was manifestation of
precocity. The children had experienced too much and got repressed.

And he had caused all that, it was his fault.

“Daddy, you have to listen to brother and not work too hard. When we are old enough to make money
and support ourselves, you can stop working. When the time comes, we will give you money. You can
take Mommy to travel. You can enjoy yourselves and we will be responsible for making money.”

Megan added, because Daddy and Mommy were not easy. She hoped Daddy and Mommy could be
happy.

“......”

Hearing that, Brian could not speak for a long time. The children had never changed. Even when they
grew up, they hoped Daddy and Mommy could be together.

Isobel heard what the children said and her mood was complex.

The children wished to have a hone, but the fault between Rufus and her had to be borne by the next
generation.

“Daddy, are you listening?”

Megan asked uncertainly.

“Yes, I am listening. I am waiting for you to grow up and make money for Daddy and Mommy.”

“By the way, isn't Mommy off work yet?

This topic made Brian feel bitter and guilty. He did not dare to continue and transferred the topic to
Winnie.



“No, Mommy has been very busy these days. She has acting class after work and come back home
late every day.”

When it came to Mommy, Megan was excited, because she thought Mommy was going to be a big star.

“Acting class? Why does Mommy want to take acting class?”

Asked Brian curiously.

Recently he had not contact with Winnie, so he did not know anything about her.

“She is to co-shoot a promotional video for a game with a male star, and Mommy is the feminine lead.”

That was all Megan knew.

“Mommy shoots a promotional video for the game? Is that the one she cooperated with Uncle Leo?”

Brian continued to ask and did not expect Winnie would personally complete the promotional video.

“Yes, it is.”

...

Megan hung up the phone after chatting for a while.

“Megan, do you have a good talk with Daddy?”

Isobel kindly asked Megan.

“Of course, but the happiest thing is when the four of us are together.”

“Let me tell you a secret. My brother and I tricked Mommy out on her birthday. We can't be happier
when the four of us dined together.”



Megan was pleased to think of it.

“Yes, it is happy to be with Daddy and Mommy.”

Isobel felt bitter in heart and she did neglect the children's feeling.

But even if she did not stop Winnie and Brian, the Bennet family could not accept Winnie, and if they
knew Winnie was her niece, it was impossible for them to be together.

When Winnie got home, her two children and her aunt were already asleep. Vanessa was reading
books. Winnie went back to the room.

When she was to sleep after taking a bath. Lying on the bed, she took her phone and saw an unread
message.

It was from Brian.

“Megan said you were going to shoot a promotional video for the game, but quit if you could. You're
tired from work, but you need to take your break to study acting. Do you want to burn yourself out?”

Winnie looked at this message in a daze, without knowing what kind of feeling she had at the moment.

If Brian said this, Winnie could imagine that he must be frowning, and the voice was extremely cold.
Such Brian made Winnie feel cold.

However, Winnie wanted to understand this message in accordance with her mind, that was, he was
concerned about her and did not want her to be too tired.

Thinking like this, her mood was much better, so Winnie replied.

“I just read your message. I have promised Leo and it has been executed, it can't be push off. I'm fine. I
come back late every day, but I don't have much work.”



Winnie looked at the time and thought Brian had been asleep and would not reply, so she put her
phone away.

As she covered the quilt, another message came.

Winnie took the phone again.

“Is there a kiss in the promotional video? If so, get a substitute, or refuse it.”

Brian sent this message with worry. From the first message to Winnie's reply, he waited for half an hour
with his phone in his hand.

He wanted Winnie quit the job and did not want her to be tired.

However, Winnie said she could not refuse it and he could do nothing.

But he was worried about whether there was too much intimacy in the promotional video, which he
didn't think was acceptable.

Winnie froze and did not understand why he said so.

“How can a video for a game have a kissing scene? You think too much.”

After Winnie sent the message, she still thought Brian's question was funny. How could he think of
kissing?

“Good.”

Brian thought it was right. It was not a TV play, nor a movie, how could there be a kiss scene? He was
overthinking and sensitive.



Then Brian sent another message.

“Don't work so hard. I'll take care of the children. You don't have to spend your money on them, just
take care of them.”

Brian did not want Winnie to be too tired. One reason was that he felt distressed, the other was that if
Winnie got sick, the children would be worried.

Winnie gave a bitter smile. As a mother, how could she not spend a penny on the children? And she
did not use Brian’s money.

Actually she got pressure. Vanessa needed money to go to school, the mortgage cost a lot every
month and she had two children to support. All the family member needed money to spend including
herself.

There was a lot of money to be spent, and she was the only one earning money. How could she relax?

“When Vanessa makes money, I don't have to work so hard. Don't worry about the children. I can take
good care of them even if I'm busy. My aunt will help me in life and Vanessa can coach them in study.”

After all, it was not her he was worried about, but the two children. If anything happened to her, there
would not be anyone to take care of the children. Winnie knew that was what she should do.

“I am tired, I gotta sleep.”

Winnie once again took the initiative to end the chat.

“If you need help, let me know. Good night.”

Brian sent a heartwarming text message and put his phone away.

He knew Winnie was not easy but she never asked for help, especially she would not ask him for help.



In her words, she loved him and wanted to live with dignity in front of him, but this dignity made Brian
heartache.

Winnie was tired. She put down the phone and fell asleep soon.

She slept soundly probably because she was tired and Brian said good night to her.

Winnie did not expect to see omnipresent gossips on the Internet.
