Hey, My Twins Babies

Chapter 62 Father's Old Friend

Winnie became nervous after hearing Brian's words and explained hurriedly.

"It was an accident yesterday, and such a thing won't t happen in the future. Mr. Bennet, Luke's living

with me is my condition in an exchange. Since I want him to live with me, I have the confidence to take

care of him. Even if I can't take care of Luke one day, I won't let him live with Penny."

Winnie knew exactly how vicious Penny was most. She used this hypothesis to suggest to Brian how

vicious Penny was, but she didn't know if Brian would think deeply about what she said.

"If you couldn't take care of Luke? Do you want to resign or have a new objective? Or you can't take

care of Luke if you find a dad for Megan?"

"Winnie, if you have such ideas, I will cancel our deal now and buy your voice software at the highest

price. I can't let Luke be hurt by you."

"No, I don't have such ideas. It's just a hypothesis. I wouldn't leave Luke alone."

Winnie hurriedly explained. She had always been confident, but she couldn't be poised whenever she

talked about Luke. In her eyes, there was the panic of losing Luke and the extraordinary love for Luke,

all of which were seen by Brian.

Brian had always suspected that Winnie approached Luke to better approach him, but no matter what,

he could see that Winnie really treated Luke well.

Penny accompanied Luke for four years, but she still not loved him; while Winnie and Luke's feelings

were as deep as mother and son after they got along for a few months.

"Well, I'll give you another chance. I will bring back Luke without hesitation if you let Leo pick Luke up

or send him to school next time."

Brian said coldly, but he was sure that it was again himself who compromised this time.

Although Brian compromised and although Winnie was relieved, she still looked at Brian with anger in

her eyes.

She wanted to scold him for being unaffectionate. She wanted to slap him so that he could had a clear

mind and saw what kind of vicious scum Penny was.

She put up with all this. She told herself: other people's things had nothing to do with her; what other

people's wife was like had nothing to do with her; she was only responsible for taking good care of

Luke.

"Why do you stare at me like that? Are you dissatisfied with my decision?"

Brian suddenly came close to Winnie evilly.

"No, I'm very satisfied with it. I'd appreciate it more if you don't threaten me in the future."

Winnie dared not look directly at Brian. There was irresistible magic power in his dark eyes. And Winnie

was afraid that her heart would palpitate after she saw his eyes.

She looked to one side, and then turned to leave. However, Brian blocked her way again.

"You don't need to try hard to avoid me in the future. If I don't want to see you, you are just air to me

even if you sit in front of me." Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Brian forced himself to spoke in an even colder voice. Every time Winnie stood in front of him and

every time he got along with her in close proximity, Brian had a kind of uncontrollable desire, which was

also the case at this moment.

The desire to hold her in her arms expanded rapidly and the impulse to appease her anger spread

rapidly.

However, he couldn't do whatever he wanted because the victim could only be Winnie in the end if he

did as he wished.

Hearing what he said, Winnie frowned and felt sad.

"Ok, thank you for treating me like air."

Winnie didn't know why she was so angry. This time she didn't bypass Brian. Instead, she pushed

Brian away with force and strode away with her slender long legs.

Just air, right? What's the big deal about being treated like air? How free the air was since no one could

restrain it.

Winnie had an appointment with an old friend of her father when her father was alive during her lunch

break. That person was also the last creditor of Winnie.

Originally Winnie wanted to sell the voice software of the calculator, so that she could pay off her final

debt. However, she used it to get the opportunity to live with Luke.

Besides, for the time being, she couldn't sell the medical Probe Software that she had planned to sell to

Daenerys's company. After Winnie formally signed a contract with the Bennet Group, she wanted to

contribute this software to the Bennet Group as the cornerstone of her new job.

She couldn't turn either software into money, so she had to ask the creditor out to negotiate for delaying

paying off the debt for one more while.

In a restaurant that offered C Country cuisine.

"Uncle Romeo, I haven't been able to pay you back the money my father owed you for four years. I'm

ashamed to see you."

Winnie apologized with shame to this man who was like her father.

This man, who she called uncle, was her father's best friend and a partner of her father when her father

first founded the company. Winnie only knew that this uncle had left the company a few months before

the company went bankrupt.

"Your father is gone, and I don't blame him. It's fine as long as you have the intention to pay back the

money. Winwin, it's good for you to come back. No matter where you go, it's better to go back home.

Did your aunt and Vanessa come back?"

The uncle named Romeo Phillips asked gently.

"Yes, it's better to be home. Aunt and Vanessa aren't sure to come back or not yet."

What Romeo said was the warmest words that Winnie had heard after she came back.

"They had better come back if they could. You can still take care of each other when you are together.

How is Vanessa? Has she recovered from her illness?"

Romeo continued to ask.

"Yes, she has recovered. This year, she would attend the college entrance examination. If she hadn't

been delayed for two years, she would have gone to college long ago. My aunt is fine, too."

"What about you? How's aunt?"

Winnie asked.

"Fine. After your dad passed away, your aunt and I started a small barbecue restaurant, and business

has been good for four years."

Romeo wore a calm expression. He had watched Winnie grow up, so Winnie was just like his daughter.

Therefore, for so many years, however difficult life was, he didn't urge Winnie to pay back the money.

"I'm sorry, uncle. It's my family that get you into trouble. If I could pay back the money earlier, you

wouldn't have to live a hard life."

Winnie said apologetically. After a moment's pause, she spoke again with embarrassment on her face.

"Uncle, I came to find you today to talk to you about the money. Originally, I thought that I could sell

Vanessa’s real estate when she was 18 years old and pay the money back to you. However, Vanessa

might come back here to study at university. We must have a place to live in. Therefore, I'd like to ask

you to give me another grace period for paying back the money."

"It's okay. I'm not in an urgent need of money. Although it's not so easy to earn money as before and

it's a little tiring to work, your aunt and I live a full life. I've got a house and insurance, so I'm not in an

urgent need of money. You don't have to pay it back in a hurry for the time being."

Romeo agreed readily.

In the past, Dominik's company closed down and he owed a huge amount of debt. Winnie all relied on

herself to pay back the debt bit by bit. Therefore, he believed that Winnie could keep her promise.

Winnie didn't expect that Romeo could trust her so much. The feeling of being trusted was a good

incentive, enabling people to be more diligent and hardworking.

"Thank you! Thank you very much! I will make money as quickly as possible and pay it back to you as

soon as possible."

Winnie smiled. It could be seen from her expression that she was moved.

Romeo also smiled kindly. He was pleased to see that Winnie was still working hard.

A moment later, Winnie continued to ask.

"Uncle, I don't really understand what happened four years ago. My dad never told me that there was a

financial crisis. Why did the company suddenly go bankrupt?"

Winnie had always wanted to figure out what happened four years ago, but her aunt didn't know and

Vanessa even knew nothing about it. She could only ask Romeo.

Hearing her question, Romeo was obviously depressed.

He sighed helplessly before speaking.

"As a matter of fact, there had been a financial crisis for a long time, but your father did not listen to my

advice and insisted on continuing to invest. At that time, the company was already short of money. In

my opinion, we should close the company before we lost money because there was no prospect for the

company. However, your father did not agree and insisted on cooperating with the Bennet Group. Then

we stopped working together because we had different opinions."

"The Bennet Group?"

Winnie frowned in perplexity.

"Yes, that's the Bennet Group you're working for now. At that time, Felix was unconscious by accident

and Brian was abroad. It was Brian's second uncle who was in charge of the Bennet Group."

Romeo stopped here. Then, he continued to talk but no longer mentioned the Bennet family.

"After I left the company, I didn't get any money. Later, I lent all my savings to your father. I also hoped

that the company could develop well. However, the company didn't overcome the financial crisis."

Thinking that the Chambers family was ruined and Dominik passed away four years ago, Romeo felt so

bad that he kept shaking his head. Until now, he was unwilling to believe that his best friend of all his

life would pass away miserably like that.

Winnie was still puzzled. With her father's ability, even if the company was not well managed and even

affected by the financial crisis, her father should not owe so much debt.

"Uncle, how on earth did my father's company close down?"

Winnie continued to ask.

"I...I don't know much about this. I hadn't been in charge of the company's matter since I left."

Romeo said with reservations. It was useless to tell her something about it. They couldn't go back to

the past even if he told her something about it. Dominik had passed away, and the rest of the people

should still live well. What's more, the Bennet family was so powerful now that no one could shake it.

"Kid, forget the past. Just live a happy life with your aunt and Vanessa. Your aunt suffers from a lot of

grievance all her life and your sister is young. They can't live happily without you. I believe that you can

support this family and that you can make your aunt and Vanessa live a happy life."

Romeo continued to persuade her.

"Well, I'll make it, uncle. I'll let Vanessa and my aunt live a happy life."

Winnie nodded and promised, but she didn't figured out what had happened to her father's company.

Since being warned by Brian, Winnie never worked overtime no matter what happened. If she worked

overtime, she would have to explain to Brian and let Brian send someone to pick up the child.

Compared with giving up taking care of Luke, Winnie would rather lose her job.

Winnie drove to the gate of the kindergarten where many parents were already waiting.

Winnie sat in the car and stared at the gate of the kindergarten.

Suddenly the door was opened and Penny got on the passenger seat.

"What do you get on my car for?"

Winnie asked in a low voice with worries in her eyes.

"Nothing. I just come to see how you've been going these days. Did Brian go to your home?"

Penny was arrogant. It was obvious that she had come to provoke her.

"No."

Winnie said coolly. She knew that Penny came to provoke her to show off, but she was not interested

in acting with her.

"Are you disappointed? Do you feel lonely? How's it? I still have a way to get him back to me."

Penny smiled and said evilly, with contempt in her eyes.
