Chapter 756 Brian Leaving at Halftime
Chapter 756 Brian Leaving at Halftime
Seeing that Megan was happy and urgent, Winnie was happy and then readily agreed.
"Well, this city has a special barbecue. And now we --"
"Megan, Mom. How about having barbecue for dinner? We'll have quick lunch and go on playing after
that."
Before Winnie finished, Luke interrupted his mother's words.
He wanted to have more time to enjoy himself instead of wasting it on lunch.
"Megan, what do you say?"
Winnie asked Megan for opinions.
"Well, we’ll do as my brother said."
Megan considered for a moment before giving the answer.
"Well, we'll have a quick lunch then. There's a fast food restaurant right here in this amusement park,
we can eat there."
"Mom, I want to play on the merry-go-round."
Megan said with excitement looking at the merry-go-round.
"Ok, I will take you there. Luke, do you want to play?"
Winnie asked Luke back.
"No, I want to play pirate ship."
Luke felt that the merry-go-round was more suitable for girls to play, so he had no interest.
"Well...... Ask dad to take you to play pirate ship, I take Megan to play merry-go-round, ok?"
Winnie asked Luke's opinion, Winnie could only come up with such a solution.
In this way, she did not have to be with Brian and to be uneasy.
"All right. Dad, let's go play pirate ship."
Luke agreed, so Brian took Luke to play pirate ship.
After Brian left with Luke, Winnie took a sigh of relief. She was like suffocating to be with Brian.
However, when Winnie lined up with Megan, Brian returned with Luke.
"Winwin, you take them to play. There's been something wrong at the branch here. I'm going back."
When Brian said these words, he was feeling guilty since he had promised to play with the kids for two
days, and he knew these two days would be his chance to do his job well. But something came up and
he had to deal with it.
"Oh, go ahead, I will take them to play."
Winnie's face changed slightly, and her heart got fluctuated.
Brian told her not long ago that he would put aside his work and stay with her, but when there was
something wrong with the work, he gave up to accompany her and the kids but go back to work.
Winnie felt like she was worthless.
"Sorry, today..."
"Go back to work. There's nothing to be sorry about."
Winnie interrupted the words of Brian, since it was his choice.
"Here is the car key. It's not convenient for you to play with two kids. Here is the hotel room card and
take the kids back if they get tired."
Brian put the key and room card into the hands of Winnie and then hurried away.
Winnie noticed Luke was disappointed at this moment.
"Luke, how about playing merry-go-round with your sister first, and then will play pirate ship?"
Winnie thought he was disappointed because he could not play pirate ship, so she enlightened him.
"Mom, dad still thinks work so important. Are you disappointed in him?"
Luke asked his mother. He was not disappointed because he had not played the pirate ship, but
because his father left suddenly.
Dad kept saying that he would give up anything for mom, and that nothing was as important as mom.
But why did he leave his mom here because of his work?
Winnie knew what Luke was thinking. Although he did not say anything about his parents, he had been
thinking about out.
"I am not disappointed. Men should focus on work. He had to work to make money and bring you up."
To make Luke feel better, to make Luke less disappointed, she could only give such an answer.
"But we don't need that much money to grow up. What we need is the love of mom and dad."
Luke raised his opinion.
Other kids had ordinary food, ordinary clothes, and they had no car or even no house. But they were
happy every day with mom and dad to get on the bus.
Luke envied that. He just wanted Mom and Dad to be together.
Winnie was sad to hear that. Seeing those families lined up in the front, she felt her heart painful like
cut by a knife.
"Luke, let's talk about it when we get home. See, sister is happy, let’s play together, ok?"
Winnie did not want to continue and did not want Luke to say that in front of so many people. She was
afraid he would break down.
"Ok, let's play with sister."
Luke agreed reluctantly, at least his sister was happy at this moment. She was not disappointed
because her father had left.
Brian did not have lunch with them and only Winnie and the kids had barbecue together.
Luke's mood did not change much. Although Winnie persuaded him in the afternoon and played the
games he liked, he had been thinking when his father would come back.
"Luke, you can grow by eating more. This restaurant has the best barbecue in C City. Be happy when
you eat, so that we can enjoy the food."
Winnie tried to enlighten Luke. If she had known that Brian would be so depressed since Brian left, she
would not have come out with Brian.
"Mom, I'm good. I will eat well."
Luke began to eat seriously.
He didn't want his mom to be worried, but he kept wondering when Dad would come to eat with them.
"Mom, when will Dad come over? Dad should have a taste of such delicious meat."
Megan was the most heartless one. She noticed that her father had left, her brother was upset and her
Mom had a hard time.
But all this was overshadowed by the projects in the amusement park and the food now. Today she did
not want to worry about her father and mother. Today she only wanted to have fun.
"Well, I don't know. Let dad focus on work, and he will come to taste it when he has the opportunity."
Winnie did not know when Brian would come back. She had not heard from him since he left, and she
hadn't called him. It was like two people in two spaces with no overlap.
It was late and Winnie did not hold hope for Brian to come back, like she had no hope for his love. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
As Winnie's voice just fell, Winnie's phone rang. Three people put their attention on Winnie's mobile
phone and thought it was Brian calling.
But Winnie was disappointed when she saw the caller ID.
"Mr. Poole, what's up?"
It was Finn, Winnie thought it was about an important case.
"Nothing, I went to your school but you are not there, so I make a call to you."
Finn was standing at the gate of the school. He was slightly disappointed that Winnie was not there.
"You did?”
Winnie asked with surprise.
"Yes, I left a case unsolved, and now I come back to finish it. I was thinking about having dinner tonight,
but you weren't there."
Finn returned because of business, but he was inexplicable happy to return to this city.
"In that case, come to me. I'm having dinner outside and it's not far from the school. I'll send you the
address."
Winnie invited Finn, after all, Finn had not had dinner yet.
"Who are with you? It that ok I come to you?"
Finn asked, afraid that Winnie and Brian were together, if so, he would bring inconvenience to Winnie.
"Yes, come. I'll send you the location right now."
Winnie then hung up the phone, and then sent the location to Finn.
In about ten minutes, Finn arrived.
Seeing that Winnie had dinner with two kids, he guessed they were her kids.
"Your twins?"
Finn asked in a gentle voice, afraid that two kids would be afraid.
"Yes, my twins."
"Megan, Luke, this is my friend, Uncle Poole."
Winnie beckoned two kids to say hello.
"Hello, Uncle Poole."
The two kids were obedient and greeted Finn with one voice.
They'd met all of mom's male friends, and this was the one they met for the first time. But they had one
thing in common, that was, they were milder than their father.
"Hello, little friends."
Finn responded and then sat down.
"It is the first time we meet. I'm sorry I didn't bring you a gift. I will make it up next time."
Finn, who had a daughter and experience talking with kids, was increasingly easygoing. So he did not
feel difficult to deal with the kids of others.
"We don't want any gifts, thank you, Uncle Poole."
Megan said in a sweet tone.
"No need to buy gift."
"Eat, you must be hungry."
Winnie said, but after saying that, she motioned Finn to have a look at her phone.
Finn understood and took out the phone to check message from Winnie.
The message read: Don't mention work while the kids are here, thanks!
Finn knew Winnie was deliberately hiding from the kids.
"Are your kids going to elementary school?"
Finn found a topic, and then began to eat.
“Yes, how about your daughter? What grade is she in?"
Winnie asked Finn.
"Grade two. Aren't they early for primary school this year?"
They were only 6 years old, which seemed a little young to him for elementary school.
"Yes, but they can adapt to it."
"My son has participated in world-class competitions and taught himself the primary school curriculum
up to the third grade."
"Megan is naughty, but she could speak several languages. I don't think it will be a problem."
