"Besides, I'll work hard."
Brian answered, but he didn't really think so.
He would let Winnie choose the job she liked instead of making her follow his advice. She had made a lot of sacrifice for her the kids. If he interfered with her job, it would be too unfair to her.
"I also want to talk about your father."
After speaking these words, Felix paused. He wanted to see how Brian would react to it.
The moment Felix mentioned his father, Brian realized that he was going to talk about the marriage of his father. This time, he didn't just raise an objection for the reason he didn't know.
"Your father is not young anymore, and he needs someone to keep him company. I might pass away in the not long future. I don't want to always still be worried about your father."
"Your mother had passed away for so many years. After all, it was she that made that choice. You've hated him for so many years. It's enough."
"Find the right woman for him, so that they can take care of each other and chat with each other."
Seeing that Brian didn't respond to him, Felix told Brian everything he wanted to say.
"It's none of my business. If he wants a wife, he can find one himself."
Finally, Brian said these words, after which he got up and left.
Even now, when he remembered his mother's death, he was painful. He wouldn't try to accept his father if he didn't receive the concern from Winnie.
Now, Felix asked him to forget the death of his mother and find a wife for his father. He couldn't manage to do that. What he could manage to do was not to interfere with it.
Brian responded to it with a little anger, but Felix thought that it had been better than last time. And that it would be more effective if he asked Winnie to talk to Brian about it.
They had dinner in the Johnson’s villa, after which, Brian left with his father and kids. Soon after Brian drove out of the Johnson’s villa, Felix went to the study and made a phone call to Winnie.
At this time, Winnie Had already had dinner. She stayed with Vanessa all day because Vanessa was down. Now, she was talking with Vanessa in Vanessa's bed.
When they were chatting, Winnie's phone rang.
Winnie picked up her cell phone and found that it was from Felix. Then, she got up.
"I'm going to answer the phone."
After informing Vanessa, she quickly came out of Vanessa's room.
After going back to her bedroom and making sure that Vanessa wouldn't hear her, she answered the phone.
"Hello, Chairman."
Winnie greeted Felix politely, as always.
"I need you to do one thing for me."
Felix spoke in a stiff and authoritative tone. It was very different from before.
"Go ahead, please. If I can, I'll do it."
Winnie didn't care about how Felix treated her. She knew one thing: No matter how well she performed, Felix wouldn't be nice to her.
“……”
Felix repeated what he had told Brian before coldly.
"Persuade Brian. It would be better if it's him that brings it up."
Winnie found it awkward, but she didn't refuse him.
"Well, when he is back, I'll talk to him about it."
The moment Winnie finished speaking, she heard no sound from the phone. Obviously, Felix had already hung up.
The way Felix treated Winnie made her feel a little unhappy. He acted as if it were her duty to do so and that she had owe a favor to the Bennet family.
She didn't know how long she could maintain such an unequal relationship. The reason why she wanted to stay with the kids was that she wanted the kids to grow up healthily. She didn't want to get anything from the Bennet family.
Why did people of the Bennet family consider her to be a scheming woman and look down upon her?
She thought about it, but she could only endure it. At this moment, Winnie could only make herself endure all these. The kids were too young, so she could only endure the grievance.
After putting down the phone, Felix began to struggle unknown reasons.
He thought about his hanging up the phone coldly; he thought that he should invite Winnie to come here next time; he thought that he shouldn't ask her to help him in that way.
Thomas asked tentatively.
However, he had talked to Winnie like that, and he had hung up the phone. It seemed useless to think about that.
Just then, Thomas opened the door and came in.
"Dad, can I come in now?"
"Yes."
Felix sighed and no longer thought about those things.
"I'm here to talk about the marriage of Brian. Have you found the right person to have a blind date with him?"
Thomas sat on the sofa with a look of ease.
"I haven't found the right people yet. Do you want to recommend someone?"
Felix directly asked. If Thomas was not going to recommend someone, he wouldn't come to him.
"I do want to recommend a person, but I'm not sure if you'll agree."
Before Felix answered, Thomas continued to say.
"She's a star named Gloria Lee. She and the Bennet Group..."
Just after Thomas mentioned the occupation, he was interrupted by Felix.
"What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood."
Winnie had long not seen Brian being unhappy. Of course, she actually knew something. Brian's acting like this must have something to do with what Felix talked to her on the phone.
"Alas..."
Brian sighed a long sigh and then lay in the bed.
Winnie went to the bed and sat down. Under such a circumstance, she didn't know if she should continue to talk about this matter.
"Did Chairman ask you to have a blind date? Brian, don't struggle because of me. Just do what you've promised. Don't disappoint Chairman."
Winnie found another way to start a conversation.
"He did let me have a blind date, and I didn't refuse him. I'm going to do it after I accompany Luke abroad to take part in the match."
Speaking of this, Brian sat up and looked at Winnie.
"I'm sorry to let you suffer grievance again. But don't worry. I won't marry anyone who I have a blind date with. I'll only marry you."
Hearing the first part of Brian's words, Winnie felt cold. However, when she heard the last sentence, she was happy. Whatever the result was, at least Brian really cared about her now.
"You've made the decision. Why are you still in a bad mood? Don't think about it. No matter what your decision is, I'll support you. I'll never hold you back."
Winnie had to commit herself now, so that Brian wouldn't be affected and would be able to make the correct decision.
"I'm not being unhappy because of this matter. My grandfather, he..."
Brian wanted to talk about it, but he hesitated. He really didn't know how to begin.
"Is it not appropriate for you to talk to me about it? Then don't mention it. Nothing is a big deal. Just do what you want."
As Winnie spoke, she got up and was about to go downstairs to meet the kids.
She knew that Brian needed courage to talk about that. She would be patient and talk about that at the right time.
Just when Winnie was about to walk, Brian pulled her hand and made her sit in bed again with a little force.
"Grandpa asked me to get a wife for him. He said that he has been in an old age. And therefore he needed a wife, so that they could take care of each other."
Brian finally told Winnie why he was unhappy. If he couldn't talk to Winnie about it, who could he talk to? He trusted her most.
Winnie was very happy that Brian told her this before she asked him about it in various ways. It would be too tiring for him to just think about it himself.
"Do you want to know what I have to say?"
Winnie asked gently. She tried her best to do it in a more careful way to avoid making him sad.
"Go ahead."
Brian spoke in a low voice. Now he really needed someone to help him. And Winnie was the only person who could help him.
