Hey, My Twins Babies

They went into the elevator together and put their things down to relax a little.

"Why not go online shopping? They can be delivered home, which will be more convenient."

Leo looked at Winnie as well as the two children. Carrying so many things made his palm in pain.

Winnie said with a smile on her face, "I rarely shop online. After all, I am a woman with children. If there are always people at home, I will find it risky. Although I think too much about it, it is good to be careful." The look on her face didn't show the hardships she, a woman with children, had endured. Nor did she have any complaints.

"Yes, it's good to be careful."

Leo looked at Winnie who was strong and optimistic with infinite emotions inside.

In his opinion, she deserved to be happy. She deserved a man who loved her. But fate, which was naughty, made her have such a life with many twists and turns.

"Are you quite busy these days?How come I haven't seen you?"

Winnie couldn't remember how many days she hadn't seen Leo. Ever since the day she saw him at the reunion, it seemed she had no memory of him anymore.

"I just came back from a business trip."

Leo directly came home from the airport. Without seeing Winnie for so many days, he somewhat missed her.

"You just came back. And you surely are tired after a business trip, right? Don't cook tonight. Come to have dinner at my home."

As soon as Winnie finished her words, the elevator arrived on the 18th floor.

Leo sent Winnie's things to Winnie's house before he turned around and went back home.

When it was time for dinner, Leo came over to eat in Winnie's house.

He took a shower and changed into convenient home clothes, finally somewhat getting rid of the exhaustion. Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, Leo was in a good mood. He made a hypothesis, that was, if Winnie was his wife and that if the two children were his, how happy he should be.

It was a pity that he had ruined the possibility to be happy by himself.

Winnie put the last dish on the table and greeted Leo, "Sit down and enjoy the food. The dishes will be cold in a while."

Leo jokingly said while sitting down, "They are so sumptuous and eye-catching. I can't even bear to eat them."

"Eye candy can't fill the stomach. If you don't eat anything, your stomach will be grumpy. Eat some. My two babies, I have worked so hard on cooking. You should eat more as well." Winnie curled up the corner of her mouth, revealing a beautiful arc. A brilliant glow was reflected in her eyes. And her face was overflowing with satisfying pleasure. Ever since she knew that Luke was suffering from depression, she hadn't ever looked sad in front of the child.

"Okay, Mommy."

"Good, Auntie."

"Good, Winnie."

Leo joined in the fun, making everyone laugh.

Every time Leo was here, the atmosphere inside Winnie's house was different from that when Brian was here.

When Leo was here, the atmosphere was harmonious and energetic. While Brian was here, the atmosphere was gloomy and cold. Leo and Brian had completely different temperaments without one being warm-hearted and the other being cold.

As usual, the two children finished eating first and went to play in the living room. Only Winnie and Leo were left at the table.

Winnie instructed Leo, "You should eat a little more."

Leo continued with a smile on his face, "Well, I do eat more. The dishes are so delicious I can't bear to put down my chopsticks again."

"Winnie, when did you cook so well? In the past, your cooking skills were not as good as they are now."

Winnie said somewhat subtly, "I all cooked in a daze in the past. Of course, my cooking skills back then weren't as good as they are now. Since we have Megan, her spleen and stomach make her fail to digest food properly. So I began to pay attention to the combination of food and meals. And I try my best to make Megan like my dishes. As the time goes by, my cooking skills naturally are better."

In the past, she didn't need to cook, let alone think about cooking good meals. After losing her parents, she has become the head of the family, which meant that she had to be proficient in everything.

Her aunt had asthma. And the fumes would make her uncomfortable. As long as Winnie was around, she never let her aunt walk into the kitchen. As she cooked for her aunt over the years, she got good cooking skills.

Leo said unconsciously, "Mmm, they are delicious. They taste like the ones at home."

Winnie raised her eyes to take a look at him and blandly withdrew her gazes.

"Did dishes cooked by me taste like the ones at home? Where is my home?" From the moment she was abandoned by Leo, she had let go of the idea of having a home and also cut off her connections with being happy.

Leo could sense Winnie's depression at this time. He knew how hard it was for her to raise two children on her own. At this moment, he had an impulse that although Winnie was with children, he wanted to guard her for his life, make her happy, and give her a warm home.

Brian put down his chopsticks, feeling his heart was thumping. He didn't know whether he should say it or not. But now he couldn't control himself.

Leo could only speak tentatively so as not to scare Winnie, "Winnie, can we start all over again?"

Winnie said jokingly, "Are you kidding? How can we start all over again after our relationship is over? How come you are bribed by this meal of mine and want to get me out of a messy situation?"

Because she didn't feel that Leo's words were serious.

The current Leo was even better than he used to be. Even so, whoever he was, she couldn't afford to be connected to him. So Winnie could only take his words as a joke. "Winnie, I'm not joking. I'm serious."

Leo suddenly got serious. Since he had said it, he should make his position clear. Otherwise, he would still regret it in the future.

Winnie politely refused, "Then turn your serious words into a joke. I have no intention to find a boyfriend. And I have children. I will drag you down."

Every word of Leo came so late that everything was destined to have no relationship with her anymore.

"I don't mind that you have children. I can accept Megan and like her. She won't be a burden to me. I surely will treat her as if..."

Before Leo could finish his words, he was interrupted by Winnie.

"Leo, besides Megan, I have to take care of Luke. He can't live together with Penny. I don't want Penny to ruin the child's life."

Winnie couldn't refuse Leo directly for fear of hurting him. So she could only find various reasons. However, Luke was indeed one of the reasons why she couldn't get married.

"Winnie..."

Leo still wanted to try to make an effort, only to hold himself back from saying anything in the end.

As for Luke, he could accept him as well. But Brian surely wouldn't let Luke be with him.

As for Winnie's excuse, he didn't know how to deal with it for the time being. And even if he said it, he would be likely to be refused as well.

"Leo, we are friends. And we will always be friends. No matter who it is, I won't get married in this life."

Winnie's words of refusal could only go so far. Leo, who was a smart person, surely understood her meaning.

Winnie curled up the corner of her mouth and yet looked so helpless. Leo had become the past to her. The past was where memories lay. And memories proved that they could never go back to their old days. Leo couldn't help but continue to ask, "What if the one who would marry you was Brian?"

Leo guessed in secret that the reason why Winnie was taking care of Luke so heartedly was that she hoped that she could always be by Brian's side.

Hearing Leo's words, Winnie grinned almost immediately.

"No way. Brian and I are in different worlds. The day when we get married will never come. I just said that I wouldn't marry anyone in this life, including Brian."

"It is good for me to take care of the children, guard Aunt and my sister just like this for my life."

Winnie took a deep breath and exhaled the inexplicable depression in her heart. Then she continued to speak, "It is probably because of the experience of family changes that I don't trust anyone now, especially men. I managed to come through all of these alone for so many years. But I succeeded. And I do not need anyone's help. To me, men..."

"I'm sorry, Winnie, I caused all this. It's my fault."

Hearing Winnie's words, Leo blamed himself even more. It was his fault that she had lost confidence in men. But it was too late for him to regret it now.

Leo felt chaotic and painful in his heart. And he indeed wanted to turn back time and guard her against all odds. In that case, everything that had happened to her wouldn't have happened. And Winnie couldn't have met Brian.

Winnie was silent for a moment.

"Don't blame yourself. It's all decided by fate. To be honest I indeed hated you when I thought you abandoned me at first. But now, I don't blame you. You are one of the victims. In the future, don't think about these things. Pay attention to other women. You don't have any chances with me. Don't waste all your time on me."

Although Winnie couldn't fully relate to Leo's feelings at this moment, she felt that it was right for her to be decisive. Just like what she had done in college, since there was no possibility between the two of them, she couldn't give Leo any hope.

By the time Brian returned home, Winnie had washed up and gone to bed. He pushed open the bedroom door. And the smell of alcohol came with him. Before he could reach the bed, Winnie sensed his smell. Winnie spoke softly, "Did you drink?"

"Yeah. Not much."

Brian, who was exhausted, threw himself directly on the bed.

"Do you still have the spirit to listen to my words? If you're too tired, wash up and go to sleep. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

As Winnie spoke, she sat up and helped Brian undress. However, Brian held her hands, preventing her from moving.

"Say it."

Brian's words sounded pretty firm. He hadn't drunk much. It was because he was in a bad mood that he was tired.

"Then I'll say it."

"I have software for medical surgery that can greatly reduce the risk of surgery in my hands, which is a safeguard for patients. I want to ask if you are willing to acquire it. If you aren't willing to, I will sell it to Daenerys' company."

Winnie didn't directly talk to Brian about Luke. Instead, she talked about the software.

In the beginning, if she wanted to stand firm in the Bennet Group, she had to have formed and solid work. Now it seemed there was no need. No matter how much she had achieved and no matter how outstanding and amazing she was in her work, she would leave when the time came in the end.

So she was thinking about selling this software so that she could pay back some of what she owed to Romeo. In that case, her pressure would be much less.

"Sell it to the Bennet Group. It will be your performance. And the company will give you a bonus and give you a commission. It's more than what you will get out of selling it."

When it came to things related to his company, Brian wouldn't be ambiguous. Although he didn't know how the actual application of this software would be yet, he didn't doubt Winnie's capability at work. "Then I will sell it to the Bennet Group."

Winnie sighed and finally relaxed a bit.

Brian opened his mouth and asked, "Are you in short of money?"

Winnie looked at Brian's bright eyes for a moment and spoke in a low voice, "Yes, I need money."

For the first time, she talked about her financial situation so seriously with Brian. Brian kept calling her a liar. So Winnie tried not to mention her financial situation as much as possible so as not to make him warier of her again.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? How much do you need?"

Brian tightened his eyebrows again. And his voice sounded much colder and lower.☐☐☐☐☐☐
