Chapter 103 Should We Start All Over Again?


    They went into the elevator together and put their things down to rx 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 anyints.


    "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?Howe 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 thest 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 everyoneugh.


    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 hadpletely different temperaments without one


    being warm-hearted and the other being cold.


    As usual, the two children finished eating first and went to y 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 thebination 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 be 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 ufortable. 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 ndly 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 rtionship is over?


    Howe 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 sote that everything was destined to have no rtionship with her anymore.


    "I don’t mind that you have children. I can ept 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 ept 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 be the past to her.


    The past was where memoriesy. 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 nevere. 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 toe through all of these alone for so many years. But I seeded. 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 med himself even more. It was his fault that she had lost confidence in


    men. But it was toote 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 me 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 me 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 rte 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’pany."


    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 Be 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 Be Group. It will be your performance. And thepany will give you a bonus and


    give you amission. It''s more than what you will get out of selling it."


    When it came to things rted to hispany, 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 Be Group."


    Winnie sighed and finally rxed 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.
