Chapter 39 Just as It was Four Years Ago
Chapter 39 Just as It was Four Years Ago
Winnie’s flurried heart was beating violently and she could not calm down for a long time. Then she
walked into the bedroom withBrian. It was still in darkness, and it was in that darkness that she was
forced to give everything she had and changed her fate.
"Why don't you turn on the light?"
Winnie asked deliberately, looking for more evidence.
"I don't want to turn on the lights. I don't want to see anybody's face."
The bedroom door was closed by Brian, and now the room was completely dark.
Brian correctly grasped Winnie's hand and pulled her to the bed.
"I'm tired, just stay here with me for a night."
She could not see expression of Brian, but his voice overlapped with that man in such a specific
environment.
They were both indifferent and heartless.
Winnie's heart tightened again.
She was nervous and did not know what to do. She did not want to stay with Brian, but wanted to
explore more things about him.
At this time, Brian had lost patience, directly picked Winnie up and put her on the bed, and then he lay
down.
Brian naturally embraced Winnie in his arms.
"Don't be nervous. I just want to have a good sleep. I won't hurt you."
Brian felt Winnie's reserve, which he liked and was familiar with.
That was probably why he brought Winnie here.
"I... I must go home to take care of the children."
Winnie wanted to escape. In this dark environment, Brian's hug was exactly the same with that man.
She dared not go deeoer, lest she was sure about the fact in this way.
"Albert will take care of them. You are not allowed to leave."
Brian may be tired and his voice became low.
"......"
Winnie seemed to have no excuse to escape and remained silent for a long time.
Now she could see why their backs were so similar, why their voices were so similar, and why their
body odors were the same.
If he didn't have a brother, she was sure that that man would beBrian. But she needed further
confirmation.
Winnie was thinking. Soon after she heard the sound of Brian's even breathing. She knew he was
asleep.
Winnie took Brian's hand from her waist and slowly got up.
By the light of a mobile phone, she first went to the French window.
The curtain was the same as four years ago, which was thick with several layers. More than once she
had stood here to open a gap to peep at his back.
After closing the curtain, Winnie came to the bedside table, squat down, and opened the drawer of the
bedside table without making a sound. The phone she put in four years ago was still there.
Looking at the phone, she could not help but have tears in eyes. It was her hope, but also her shame in
the past.
Below the phone was a file bag, which Winnie was familiar with.
Her hands trembled as she pulled the files out of the bag. When she saw the writing, she was unable to
support herself and slid down the bed onto the floor.

...
Winnie had tears in eyes and was unable to continue to read it.
In the next morning when Brian woke up, Winnie was not there. Brian saw a message on the phone.
"I am worried about the children and I gotta to leave first. I found car in your garage, so I drove the car
away, and I will give it back to you tomorrow when I went to the company."
Brian took a deep breath. Although drunk that night, he slept soundly.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Brian arrived at the office on time and when he was about to work, Klara knocked at the door and came
in.
"Mr. Bennet, Young Mistress is here."
Penny was just behind Klara, carrying a paper bag with Brian's clothes in it as she had done several
times before.
This was the only thing Penny could do for him since she became her wife.
"Honey."
Penny's soft and sweet voice rang out. Klara walked out and closed the door.
"Put down the clothes and leave, I still have work to do."
Brian said in a cold voice.
Penny's heart was cold to the extreme. It had been four years she tried to get the heart of Brian, but
there was no progress.
As four years ago, he kept her at a distance.
"Honey..."
Penny did not give up and wanted to care more about Brian. Just then Klara knocked on the door again
and entered.
"Mr. Bennet, Miss Chambers has arrived."
Penny thought of Winnie when she heard the name ofMiss Chambers. It turned out that Brian rushed to
drive her away was to see Winnie.
"Let her in."
Brian commanded, and then looked atPenny coldly.
"I have to work."
Penny was helpless.
"Honey, I will go back first, don't make yourself too tired."
Penny said it deliberately, so that Winnie could hear her.
Penny turned around and Winnie walked in.
The two looked at each other. Winnie was calm, butPenny was angry.
Winnie did not say hello, and Penny did nothing due to Brian's warning. They just passed by.
The door of the office was closed again by Klara.
Brian stared at Winnie with sullen eyes.
"Mr. Bennet, I'm here to talk about work, and I don’t thing I had annoyed you at work."
Winnie broke the silence.
"When did you leave last night? I asked you to sleep with me and you ran away."
Brian’s eyes were cold and he quesitoned Winnie.
"Don't use such harsh words to describe me, Mr. Bennet. Usually I will run away after I had succeeded
in cheating. Last night I was just worried about the children so I came back in advance. And your
mountain villa and your bedroom are so dark that it seemed to have secrets."
Winnie innocuously shrugged her shoulders.
Although she said in a relaxed way, there were waves in her heard and she could not calm down.
Winnie's words made Brian's eyes became colder. He glared at Winnie angrily, as if Winnie had done
something wrong and should be punished.
"Winnie, I shouldn't have taken you there last night. You don't deserve it."
Brian said gnashing teeth.
"I also think I shouldn't go, rest assured, next time you drank too much, I won't send you there even if
you beg me."
Winnie gave a stubborn answer. Brian regretted, she regretted too.
Winnie continued.
"Mr. Bennet, I have parked your car in the underground parking lot. Here is the key."
Winnie walked a few steps up the wooden steps and placed the car keys on Brian's desk.
"Mr. Bennet, I have sent both children to kindergarten. Megan can’t fit in the new kindergarten, so I
have no choice but to send her back to the kindergarten you arranged. I hope whatever happens
between us, please don't get the children involved. I'll pay for the kindergarten myself, as long as you
don't kick her out."
Winnie was kind of begging Brian. Although she took Megan away last time, she did not believe that
Brian would spare Megan. She thought she had taken the child away early, so Brian failed to do
anything to her.
"I didn't want to do anything about Megan. You were the one who dropped the kid out last time. You
should know why I fired you."
Brian's tone was low and his eyes were cold. Winnie reminded him so, he was like filthy.
"I'd like to thank Mr. Bennet for Megan. I do not want to analyze it. It is good to be confused sometimes.
I'll stay in the house you arranged for me, until I finish my work..."
Winnie said with pride and self-confidence in a calm way.
Work was important to all people, and it was considered an honor to work in Brian's company. But
Winnie disdained that.
Brian finally could not help but loudly rebuke.
"Winnie, if you don't want to be controlled by me for a lifetime, obey my arrangement."
"Rogue"
Winnie whispered, glaring at Brian. She knew he would keep his words. She didn't want to be controled
by him all her life, or she would die quickly.
"Mr. Bennet, thank you for your kindness. I will go to work first, and I will do the handover work when
MT sends someone over."
Unconvinced, Winnie stared at Brian. As the words fell, she turned to leave proudly.
Winnie went out of the president's office and breathed a sigh of relief. Inadvertently she saw Klara.
Klara was staring at her with angry eyes that were filled with envy and anger. Why?
Winnie snorted in disdain and walked away.
When she pushed open the door of her office, Winnie was not surprised by what she saw.
Penny was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, looking domineering.
Such Penny had no dignity at all and wasted the supremacy Brian gave her.
Winnie closed the door of her office and poured herself a glass of water to drink.
"Say it, are you here to, warn me again? Your husband and your son stayed over my home last night.
Are you trying to slap me again? Oh, I need to correct myself. He is not your husband. You're living
together at best. As for the son..."
Winnie deliberately stopped.
BeforePenny questioned her, she toldPenny first. ButPenny was not suprised, which proved that she
had already known.
"Winnie, I underestimated you. I did not expect you dare to take the initiative to admit it. Listen up, even
if we are not married, I am his wife. I have my son. He is everything to me. He is my status symbol and
no one can change that."
"Winnie, leave now, don't regret when you get hurt. When the time comes, no one will heal you."
Penny gave a malicious warning, taking Luke as a weapon to resist the invasion of Winnie. However, it
was Luke that made Winnie angry.
For the moment, she had to put up with it and said nothing. But after she got medical proof of Luke, she
would not let go Penny.
"Don't talk nonsense. Keep an eye on Brian and ask him to stay away from me. That's what you should
do. I have to work now."
Winnie told her to leave and watchedPennyget up, feeling disgusting.
"Winnie, think about it. Regardless of my position as Mrs. Bennet, I can still defeat you with the
strength of my family."
Penny warned again and showed no weakness. If Winnie was stubborn, she would not show mercy.
She took four years of hard work to getBrian. She would not spareWinnie is she dared rob with her.
