Chapter 455 Coincidence


    Vanessa went to visit the Be family living in the suburbs.


    The lunch was all served. Everyone sat around the table.


    Rufus deliberately arranged for Vanessa to sit beside him. During lunch, he helped her serve the


    dishes and looked at her lovingly.


    Ste thought that her dad was a little strange. But Vanessa was the guest, so it was normal that Rufus


    being hospitable.


    The other two children also found that Rufus was very hospitable to Vanessa.


    Megan said bitterly, “Grandpa, why do you only serve the dishes to Vanessa? I want to eat this one.”


    “Okay, let me help you.”


    Rufus began to serve the dishes to Megan. Meanwhile, heforted Megan with a smile.


    “Vanessa is our guest. We should be hospitable to her. In this way, Vanessa will feel warm and like our


    home.”


    “But you have said that we are a family. We don’t too formal. Why do you treat Vanessa as a guest, not


    a family member?”


    Megan had a sharp tongue. She was not convinced by Rufus. But Rufusughed when he heard


    Megan’s words.


    “Megan is right. We don’t have to too formal with each other. This is Vanessa’s home. I won’t serve


    dishes to Vanessa. I’ll let her help herself.”


    Although Rufus stopped serving dishes to Vanessa, he kept staring at her lovingly. He hadn’t even


    looked away.


    Ste didn’t say anything, but she thought that her dad was too much hospitable. She didn’t whether it


    was because of Winnie or Vanessa herself that Rufus liked Vanessa very much. She felt something


    different this time.


    In the evening, Vanessa was sent back by Paul. The two kids went back to their rooms to sleep after


    ying all day. Ste also went back to her bedroom.


    She made a video call to Joshua, lying on the bed. She inadvertently mentioned Vanessa to him.


    “They said that Vanessa looks like me. Paul has said that we are like twins today. Do we really look like


    to each other?”


    She looked at the handsome face of her husband in the video. She deliberately asked him this


    question.


    Ste wanted Joshua toe back early. When she brought the two kids of Winnie, she became eager


    to have her own kid. Therefore, she wanted Joshua toe back.


    “You two do look alike. Paul is right. You do look very simr to Vanessa, but you are more mature than


    her. She is young and immature.”


    Joshua thought that Paul was right. Ste and Vanessa did look like each other. And there were


    simrities in their character. They were both positive, diligent and sensible. But Ste was more


    reserved. Vanessa was more outgoing.


    “Is it real? We are not rted. How could we look so simr to each other?”


    Ste thought that they seemed to be exaggerated. After all, they were not sisters and were not


    rted. There would be differences between her and Vanessa no matter how simr they were.


    “Of course, when I first saw Vanessa, I felt that you were very simr. She looked like you when you


    were twenty.”


    When Joshua first met Ste, she was just twenty years old. He fell in love with her at the first sight.


    She was more reserved than the girl at the same as her.


    But he was an ordinary person. Ste was from a powerful and rich family. He didn’t dare to express


    his love to her at that time.


    “Honey, I’m just kidding. You two may be sisters.”


    “It is not funny. How can I be rted to Vanessa? We are from different families.”


    Ste didn’t take his joke seriously. But she suddenly remembered that Rufus had cheated on her


    mother when he was young.


    It had been twenty-one years since her family broke up. Rufus cheated and her mother died. Brian


    hated Rufus and broke up with his father. Ste had been hated Rufus for a long time.


    But seeing Rufus being so lonely and miserable, she couldn’t bear it and chose to forgive him. Now she


    had grown up and got married. Although Joshua was loyal to her, she could understand Rufus after


    seeing the unhappy marriages of many people.


    Rufus had been lived alone for twenty-one years. He suffered a lot and nobody could touch his heart.


    Ste knew that Rufus was lonely even with theirpany.


    Where was the woman Rufus cheated with now? Had she married? Or had she been as lonely as


    Rufus?


    Coincidentally, Vanessa was twenty-one years old.

    Although it was a coincidence, Ste didn’t connect the two things.


    After Brian came home, his father was downstairs. He asked Ste to go downstairs. After that, he told


    them Felix’s decision and Winnie agreed to live with them.


    “Winnie will talk to her aunt when shees home. But she won’t change her decision,”


    Brian told them with excitement. It was a surprise for him that Felix agreed that Winnie could live with


    him and the kids. Therefore, he was in a good mood.


    “After all, Grandpa is not so cruel. At least he agrees with Winnie to live with the kids.”


    Ste was also very happy. Although Felix couldn’t ept Winnie for the time being, at least their n


    had been half sessful.


    “I have been argued with Felix for you to marry Winnie. It seems that he is still very firm. It is unfair to


    Winnie, but we have no choice at this time.”


    “Brian, be nice to Winnie. Try your best to convince your grandpa to ept Winnie.”


    Rufus was not happy nor excited. It was good for everyone except for Winnie. She had to take all the


    grievance by herself.


    It was obvious Felix only considered the interest of the Be family. He didn’t think about Winnie at


    all. When he wanted to go back on his word, Winnie was the one to pay the price.


    Rufus was worried that Felix would go back on his word. Meanwhile, he was also worried about the


    rtionship between them and the Chambers family. He was afraid that Brian would know the


    existence of Vanessa.


    It seemed that he had to have a good talk with Vanessa. He couldn’t make him in the passive position.


    At the same time, Isobel also knew Felix’s decision after Winnie told her. Winnie was very helpless.


    Winnie had been in a worry for several days. She knew that it was impossible that she could take her


    kids to leave this ce.


    Although Brian could protect her and her kids, she couldn’t be selfish and make trouble for others. She


    had to consider others’ conditions.


    “The kids are the member of the Be family. It is selfish if we take them away.”


    Vanessa sighed helplessly.


    “Winnie, you have to tolerate it for the sake of your kids. But Isobel couldn’t meet them. She would be


    exposed if she went to visit them.”


    Isobel couldn’t stop anything. What she could do was to dy meeting Brain as much as possible.


    As Rufus said, they couldn’t escape from this matter and they had to solve this matter sooner orter.


    But she wanted to put off the time as much as possible. As long as they could solve this matter, it


    wouldn’t bete at any time.


    When the kids grew up and became independent, they could understand Winnie. At that time, Vanessa


    could make a living. It wouldn’t affect her career if her identity was exposed at that time. They took


    everyone into consideration except for Winnie. She was the only one who had to sacrifice herself.


    Winnie had to be with Brian secretly as a mistress. If she were forced to break up with Brian someday,


    she would suffer pains and never be happy in the rest of her life.


    “Isobel, I understand you. I couldn’t have any pride and dignity in front of the Be family either. I


    won’t let Brian and his family meet you.”


    “I’ll move to the suburbs and take a day off on weekends to bring my children back to visit you.


    Vanessa and you…”


    “Please help take care of Vanessa. I want to go out on trip. I’ve been tired all my life. I want to rx.”


    Isobel stopped Winnie before she finished her words. She knew what Winnie meant.


    When Winnie moved to the suburbs to live with the Be family, she must hide from them. Otherwise,


    they would find her sooner orter. If she went out to take a trip like before, nobody would find her.


    Therefore, they could hide the truth for a long time.


    As for Vanessa, as long as Rufus didn’t expose her identity, no one would know it. She would live a


    happy life and go to school without being disturbed.


    “Isobel, won’t youe back?”


    Winnie asked her worriedly. She was afraid that Isobel would never return just like what she did many


    years ago. If it hadn’t been for her parents’ ident, Isobel might not havee back to take care of


    her.


    “I’m just going to rx. I can’t stay at home all the time. Help me take care of Vanessa. I’ll be back


    soon.”


    Isobel didn’t dare to tell Winnie that she wouldn’te back. Otherwise, Winnie would fall out with the


    Be family and wouldn’t allow her to leave.


    She was old and had a kid to care about. She loved her family and didn’t want to leave. But she had no


    choice but to leave for Winnie and Vanessa.


    “You can go out for a break. But you muste back. You are the only rtive of mine and Vanessa’s.


    If you don’te back, we will be orphans.”


    Winnie was still worried. After all, Isobel had left them for a long time before. Moreover, her heart was


    filled with secrets and loved Rufus. It was very likely that she would choose to leave them forever.


    “Okay, I’ll be back. Just help me take good care of Vanessa for the time being.”


    Isobel entrusted Vanessa to Winnie, hoping that they could take good care of each other. She would


    Thomas had been secretly nned to find Isobel. After knowing where Winnie and Isobel lived, he


    waited in the neighborhood to see if he could see Isobel.


    He waited from the early morning till ten o’clock, Thomas finally saw Isobeling out from her house.


    Thomas, sitting in the car, kept staring at her.


    Although he hadn’t seen her for more than 20 years, he recognized Isobel at the first sight. Her figure


    didn’t change and she looked older than before. But she was still as kind as that of he met for the first


    time.


    It was Isobel. She was back. really her. She was used as a tool to help him more than twenty years


    ago. It seemed that she could help him again this time.


    After Thomas confirmed that it was Isobel, he knew that Richard didn’t lie to him and was sure that


    Winnie was Dominik’s daughter. He would use Winnie and Isobel to achieve his n. This time. Winnie


    seemed to be more valuable than Isobel.


    Isobel disappeared from Thomas’ sight. He smiled evilly. He would defeat Rufus with the “help” of


    Isobel and Winnie. He wouldn’t give the chance to turn over.
