Chapter 67 The Quarrel on the Mountain Road
In the dark, Winnie was completely awakened by Brian's harsh words. Because of his question, she realized that she had done something that she shouldn't do, which almost exposed herself. In the dark room, Winnie could no longer feel the warmth coming from Brian's body. Her face was pale because of Brian's question.
Fortunately, she turned off the light before going to bed. Although she accidentally exposed her familiarity with this place, the darkness could conceal the panic on her face at the moment. It was impossible for her to spend the night peacefully anymore.
Winnie calmed down. She got up and picked up the remote control next to her to turn on the light again.
"Mr. Bennet, you are too sensitive."
Winnie glanced calmly at Brian's face which was full of vigilant and suspicious. He seemed to treat her as a thief and as if she had made a big mistake.
Winnie smiled bitterly. She got out of bed and picked up her clothes on the carpet one by one. While wearing her clothes, she said again.
"Mr. Bennet, you always think of me as a liar, so your first reaction is what tricks I'm playing, right?"
Winnie paused for a moment. Before Brian could answer, she continued speaking.
"Mr. Bennet, if you don't trust me, why did you bring me here? You can just pick one hotel causally. If Penny can't satisfy you, you can find another woman. Why did you look for me, a liar?" Seeing the suspicious looks in Brian's eyes, Winnie got hurt. She felt ached.
"Knock it off. Just answer my question."
Brian also felt bad when he saw the sad face of Winnie who was wearing clothes. But he asked again harshly.
"Nothing. The reason why I've been familiar with here is because I have already come here last time. I am thirsty and I want to drink water. I can't wake you up. I need light to go to the bathroom. So I fumbled to turn on the light. I didn't do anything except these. As for the stuff in the drawer you said, I didn't watch it either."
Winnie said indifferently. She had already put on her clothes. Looking at Brian confidently and stubbornly, she continued to speak.
"Mr. Bennet, I have been the villa twice and it was all because of you. You took me directly into this room. I didn't move anything except using your bathroom and drinking the water in your refrigerator." "Oh right, I just took one contraceptive pill."
"I haven't moved anything except this room. Mr. Bennet, you can check this room carefully. I can compensate you if you lose something."
After speaking, Winnie turned around to wear her canvas shoes. Then she went straight to the door.
She walked to the door and stopped, because she felt particularly aggrieved.
"Mr. Bennet, I admit that I am a liar, but I never steal anything. Don't look at me as if I'm a thief."
Winnie thought she would feel better after she said these words out, but she didn't expect that she felt more uncomfortable.
She furiously opened the door and slammed it closed.
Walking out of the door of the villa, it was pitch black and cold outside. Winnie took a breath and was a little scared. Even if she was so scared, she felt it was better than being questioned by Brian. Thinking of this, Winnie walked into the darkness with courage.
At this time, Brian was wearing clothes. It was so dark outside. He didn't think Winnie would leave here. He thought Winnie just went to the living room or another room.
But when he came to the window, he found that Winnie had already reached the gate and was opening the door.
Brian panicked suddenly and ran downstairs quickly. How could he forget that Winnie was a so stubborn woman?
When Brian went downstairs, Winnie had already walked out of the villa. So Brian had to drive to chase her up.
There were wild boars and weird birds from time to time on this dark mountain road. Even a mouse that came to the road would make Winnie feel creepy.
Thinking of this, Brian speeded up. Then he stopped the car in front of Winnie after less than a minute.
Brian got out of the car and slammed the door closed angrily, questioning loudly and coldly.
"Are you insane? Don't you know how dangerous this road is? You will be scared to death. Don't you know?"
Although Brian was shouting angrily, he felt relieved because he finally chased Winnie up.
"Please get out of my way. It's better to be scared to death than to be wronged."
Winnie said arrogantly, bypassing Brian and continuing to walk down.
She was not afraid of death. Death was a relief for her. But she was afraid that she would die with an inexplicable crime. She was afraid that others would put an inexplicable crime on her when she was dead. "Winnie, can you curb your temper? It's so dark and dangerous outside. Don't make trouble here unreasonably."
Brian quickly came to Winnie's front. Watching Winnie continue to walk into the darkness, he was full of anxiety. He didn't know how to keep Winnie staying, so he could only shout loudly. Winnie stopped and suddenly looked into Brian's eyes. She was pissed off.
"Am I making trouble? You can just lose your temper for no reason. I didn't want to hear that you lose your temper, so I left. But for you, I'm just making trouble? Don't you feel it's a bit unfair? I want to ask you, what are you to me? What rights do you have to lose your temper to me?"
Winnie was angry. She asked back loudly. Her voice sounded particularly bleak on the dark and silent mountain road, which was just like her life.
Brian frowned. Seeing the sad expression on Winnie's face under the light of the car lights, Brian felt so sorry.
He couldn't answer Winnie's question. He didn't know what the relationship between them was now.
"Let's go back and have a good talk. It's too late now."
Seeing that Winnie insisted, Brian could only say these words in a low voice, and then stretched out his hand to pull Winnie.
Winnie avoided Brian's hand as quickly as possible.
"Do you still know that it is late? You let me stay here overnight. But I just asked a question casually, and then you were annoyed. If you don't want to answer, you can say that you don't know. Then we will be in peace till dawn. But you just make a fuss. I just asked a question. But in your eyes, I have ulterior motives. You just use this as an excuse to yell at me. You just treat me as a thief."
Winnie shouted loudly with anger. The bright eyes were also full of anger.
"Brian, what did I owe you in my previous life? Did I make you unhappy in this life? Why do you always make trouble for me? You treat me as a liar? Fine! I don't care. But now you want to turn me into a thief. Since you hate me so much, you can send me to the police station. I would rather accept legal sanctions than to be despised by you."
"Follow me back."
Hearing what Winnie said, Brian felt extremely sad. Now he realized that his anger had hurt Winnie.
He reduced his volume again. Besides, he softened his tone. Brian had already made a comprise to Winnie again.
"No, I won't go back with you. If there is something missing in your luxurious villa again, I can't explain it clearly."
Winnie was still angry. She felt that every time she came to the villa, she would be unlucky. Brian was sent by God to torture her. Every time, Brian would make her mood so bad.
Seeing Brian's cold and angry face, Winnie could not feel any hope.
"Get out of the way. That villa is yours. This road is not yours. I have the right to walk."
Winnie wasn't reluctant, but her grievances became more and more intense. He brought her here at midnight and had sex with her, then he shouted at her. She couldn't accept it. "Okay, we won't go back. I will drive you down the mountain."
Having no choice, Brian could only take a step back again.
After he finished speaking, he directly used his brute force to get Winnie into the car.
Winnie didn't resist this time, because she didn't dare to go down the mountain alone.
After this incident, Winnie deliberately avoided Brian, not wanting to have any physical contact with Brian. Because she could not imagine what kind of crime Brian would put on her next time.
The advertisement about mobile phones started shooting. The model was the actress, Stella. Brian had been with Stella these days. So even if Winnie didn't hide herself, she couldn't see Brian. Winnie came to work early in order not to meet Brian.
Just when Winnie stepped into the elevator, Penny also walked in.
"It's really bad luck to meet you."
Penny said unkindly, with contempt in her eyes.
п
Winnie kept silent. She didn't want such a woman to affect her mood in the morning.
"Did my husband stay with you for a night again? Winnie, you are so bold. Grandpa has gone to warn you, but you still dare to entangle him."
Penny's words were so harsh. From the looks in Penny's eyes, Winnie could feel Penny wanted to kill her.
Winnie glanced at Penny indifferently. When she looked at the paper bag in Penny's hand, she knew why Penny was so angry.
"You are here to deliver clothes? No wonder you are so angry. There are so many women in the world. Don't take me too seriously. He didn't stay overnight with me. As for where he went, you can go to investigate. Don't just slander me before you don't know the truth."
Winnie said calmly.
Since that day, Brian hadn't come to her anymore. She really didn't know where Brian went last night.
"Oh, did I wronged you? You mean you never slept with Brian?"
Penny said maliciously. Her eyes filled with insidiousness.
"I didn't say that."
Winnie was still calm. She had never denied the fact that she slept with Brian. The reason why she didn't dare to admit, it was just that she was afraid of causing trouble and affecting whether Luke could stay with her.
Winnie's unclear attitude made Penny hate her more. If Winnie didn't confirm or deny it, it would show that she indeed slept with Brian.
"Winnie, I'll see how long your arrogance can last."
After Penny finished speaking, the elevator door opened. A war ended.
There were too many and too frequent such things. Winnie had been used to it. But Penny's hatred grew day by day, and her anger deepened every time she saw Winnie.
Winnie was on the way to pick up the children from the kindergarten after getting off work.
While talking with Daenerys on the phone with her earphones, Winnie drove the car at a constant speed.
"Winwin, don't get angry with me. Leo always looks for me. Besides, he always asks me. I have no choice, so I told him."
Daenerys asked for forgiveness, confessing her mistakes.
"Now your relationship with Leo is better than with me. No matter what he asks you, you will tell him."
Winnie didn't mean to resent. She just felt a little better after complaining a few words.
"It's not like that. I just think Leo is also the one who was hurt. Leo has also lost a lot."
Daenerys didn't dare to tell Winnie about Leo's love for Winnie. She didn't want to participate too much in other people's love.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
