Hey, My Twins Babies

Chapter 878 The Most Powerless Thing

By the time Winnie returned to the private room, the dishes were ready.

She didn't say anything about her conversation with Stefan and Brian didn't ask, so everyone just ate

and chatted.

"Winwin, Stella can't drink while she's pregnant, I toast you on her behalf."

Joshua suddenly got up with his glass of wine and said polite words.

Winnie treated the man with courtesy, not wanting to drink but standing up as well.

"Joshua, my car is in front of the children's school, and I have to drive back later, so I can't drink. I'll

take water instead of wine ......"

"Brian can get someone to drive it back for you. Didn't I drive here too? It's not even a problem."

"Winnie, you have to drink this one."

Joshua was sincere, because Winnie had made a much greater contribution than he had.

"Joshua ......"

"Can't say no, if it wasn't for you, Brian's attitude towards Dad wouldn't have changed, if it wasn't for

you, Dad couldn't have been happy before he went into surgery."

"Doctor Burns told me that he didn't turn around when Brian called Dad, and that was because he was

crying. Winwin, why is Dad crying? It is because he's been waiting for that for over twenty years. If it

wasn't for you, Brian could not have do that, so I must propose a toast to you."

Winnie tried to speak, but was interrupted by Joshua, only to prevent Winnie from shirking.

"Joshua, I'll drink the wine, but don't say those words again. I didn't contribute anything to this matter,

and I even quarreled with him. It was he who figured it out, he wanted to let it go."

No matter what Joshua said, Winnie didn't feel that it was her own credit. What she had said had never

been taken to heart by Brian. This time, it was entirely because Rufus's illness had scared him that he

had to change, and it had nothing to do with her.

"Winwin, you are too modest ......"

"Joshua, I'm not going to drink this wine if you say it again."

Winnie interrupted Joshua's words, not allowing him to continue.

"Fine, drink, no talks."

"Cheers."

Joshua did not go on, Winnie never felt that what she did was so great, and never took credit.

Joshua respected Winnie, only drank and didn't talk about it.

Both of them sat down after they drank a glass, and Brian still didn't speak.

"Brian, I really didn't expect the change in your attitude towards Dad. Can you forgive him?"

Stella felt it didn't conflict with forgiving her father.

She just wanted Brian to let go of everything as soon as possible, so it would be better for both Dad

and Brian.

"Sis, let me take my time. I can't let go of all at once yet."

Brian was speaking according to his heart, not perfunctorily nor evasively.

"I know you need time, and I am not pushing you. It's just that I have forgived Dad, no matter who was

right and who was wrong in the past. Dad is not easy, more than twenty years carrying condemnation, I

feel pitiful."

"Anyway, we're left with Dad. With Dad, we still have a home, if we even lost Dad, we wouldn't have a

home."

"Think about it, life is pretty short, don't waste it on hate."

Stella persuaded Brian, she was enlightened and no longer depressed. Since it was so good, Brian

must feel it.

But Stella also understood that Brian had a much bigger knot in his heart than she did, and had been

stimulated and hurt more than she had, for his mother died in the right front of him.

So all Stella could do was to give Brian time to fade away from the past.

But this process did need Winnie to assist. She saw that day at the entrance of the operating room

Brian clutching Winnie's hand. Without Winnie's hands, Brian would not have been able to call out

"Dad".

"Sister ......"

Brian wanted to open his mouth to say his opinion, but he didn't expect Luke, who had been eating, to

suddenly interrupt Brian.

"Auntie, you said with Grandpa, you have a home. But how come we don't have a home thought we This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

have mom and dad?"

Luke asked Stella. He knew that both mom and dad had too much difficulties, and maybe his aunt

could give him a reasonable explanation.

"......"

The question came suddenly, causing Stella to not know how to answer. The suddenness of the

question made Winnie's heart ache.

"Luke, you'll have a home, now that mom and dad are together, the suburbs is your home."

Stella couldn't really think of how to answer the him, for his question was heartbreaking.

"That isn't a home, mom and dad sleep in separate rooms."

Such a situation was understood by Luke, but he just had to say it, just to force both Mom and Dad to

think about it.

Luke's remark made both Winnie and Brian embarrassed, but neither of them knew how to open their

mouths to explain to him. This question from Luke could only be answered by Stella.

"Luke ......"

"Auntie, you know what the most painful thing about me getting a new school is?"

Stella's words were cut off by Luke, and this time he was deliberate. He didn't wait for Stella to have a

reaction before giving his answer himself.

"The most painful thing for me was interacting with my new classmates, and the first topic of

conversation was mom and dad and a happy home. To this day whenever my classmates bring up

mom and dad, I avoid it. I have dad and a mom but I don't have a home, so I don't feel qualified to

discuss the topic with them."

Everyone was silent as Luke's words fell. Winnie was even more heartbroken and was about to

suffocate. The most helpless thing in her life was a home that her children wanted.

Winnie could not help but pick up the glass and drink a glass of wine for herself. She owed the children

and only to punish herself with wine.

Watching his mother drink alone and watching her mood drop all of a sudden, Luke immediately

regretted it.

"I'm sorry, mom, I shouldn't have said those things just now. Just pretend I never said it and I'll never

say it again."

Luke apologized to his mother, but this apology made Winnie even more ashamed.

"Luke, Megan, it's I who should say sorry. I can't say anything but sorry."

Winnie was so distressed that she wanted to cry out, but with so many people around, especially Brian,

she could only endure it.

"There's no such thing as who's right or who's wrong between children and a mother, eat, let’s eat."

Joshua saw that the atmosphere was not right and hurriedly spoke to ease the situation.

"Luke, Megan, eat, you guys need a lot of nutrition when you are growing, you must not be picky

eaters."

"Winnie, have another drink with me, it's no fun for me to drink alone."

Joshua said so, this topic was forced to end. But for the kind of pain in her heart, Winnie had nowhere

to release, and could only use wine to numb herself.

But Winnie didn't dare to get drunk. She was afraid that she would lose her composure in front of Brian,

afraid that she would talk nonsense if she drank too much.

By the end of the meal, Winnie's mind was still clear except for her dizziness.

After coming out of the hot pot restaurant, Brian and Stella went home separately.

Brian did not drink, so he drove.

Brian didn't say a single word until now. Winnie didn't know what he was thinking about.

Winnie told herself not to think about anything about Brian, but the alcohol made her unable to control

herself.

"Why didn't you ask why Stefan called me out?"

Winnie sat in the passenger seat and asked Brian in a low voice, but her eyes were outside the window

on the right.

She asked the question, but was afraid of Brian's answer.

"Why should I ask?"

Brian asked Winnie instead of answering.

"You doubt me, suspect me ...... Oh ...... right, now we have nothing to do with each other and you don't

have to doubt me."

"I'm overthinking it."

She answered herself. When she thought about it, Winnie's eyes were full of hurt when she looked out

the window.

"Winnie, don't talk like that."

Brian reached out to hold one of Winnie's hands. Winnie didn't resist, but looked back at the hand that

was held by Brian.

She suddenly found it ironic that he wanted to grab her hand though they broke up. Why didn't he

cherish it when so many opportunities were given to him in the first place?

"I paid the price for this and I have to learn my lesson. I believe in your character and in your loyalty to

love. I won't be doubting you or misunderstanding you in the future."

Brian knew clearly how big a mistake he had made, and if such a mistake still prevented him from

coming to his senses and made him not learn his lesson, he really didn't deserve to love Winnie.

"Ugh ...... when did you become such a hypocrite? Believe what? From the beginning to the end you

......"

Winnie was just about to bring up the old days, but suddenly realized that the two children were still

sitting behind her and had to keep her mouth shut.

She withdrew her hand, once again not giving voice to what she wanted to say.

"Forget it, you do you well and I'll do me well. You be a good father and I'll be a good mother, and that

will be enough."

"Son, I am tired and I will take a nap, call me when we get home."

Winnie ended the conversation awkwardly. She just wanted to express her suppressed emotions, but

after two sentences, she realized that she had found the wrong person to confide in.

Leaning her head back in the seat, she once again looked out the right side of the car window. This

time she closed her eyes just to feel the darkness and didn't want to see any light.

Winnie's mood had been depressed since Luke had said those words. But she still took care of her two

children when she got home.

She accompanied them to do their homework, helped them take a bath, and then went to Luke's room

after letting Megan lie down and turning off the light.
