Chapter 828 It''s not easy for a Family
Rufus continued to vent.
"All the years we''ve been married, I''ve never med you for whatever you''ve been doing out there,
and I''ve even had to hide it for you. You shouldn''t even have left the conundrum to me for the sake of
this."
"I can keep it a secret, and I can carry the fault for you. But what about the kids? How should I exin
to Brian and Ste?"
Painful questions came one after another, yet not a single voice responded.
Rufus asked for a long time, painful and helpless.
His gaze shifted to the tombstone next to him with sudden extra hatred.
"You''re not a man, you''re not in charge."
This tombstone may be the only ce Rufus can vent, if the person on the tombstone was a bit in
charge, things might not develop into this way now.
Having said that, Rufus was better seemingly.
For so many years, because of this matter, both kids hated him. But in a way it was aggravating and
four people should be med.
It was inherently unfair to let two people take the me for the fault of four. And as soon as they died,
they put the me for who were on the living.
Rufus left the tomb and walked out of the cemetery with Paul.
"Paul, you''re the only one who knows all about it. These two are lying here, rxed and at ease. Isobel
and I have to suffer all."
"I''m a man, I can endure it. But Isobel is a woman, it isn''t cruel for her."
Rufus was still recounting the incident and was heartbroken for Isobel because of it.
"Rufus, since it''s not easy for you, it must be even more difficult for Isobel. Her brother and her sister-
inw, even Winwin and Vanessa have a hard time. This family had suffered misfortune because of it."
Paul deeply appreciated how difficult it was for the Chambers family; they had done nothing wrong, but
had taken on what they shouldn''t.
"She felt home and had given birth to a kid before she returned. Her brother and sister-inw treated
her child as their own daughter, and since then, Isobel had been for medical support."
"It''s been more than ten years since she left, and if it weren''t for her brother and sister-inw’s death, I
guess she would have lived like this for the rest of her life."
Paul said with emotion, however, it had not been as simple as Rufus being sorry for Isobel alone.
"This matter affects four generations of your family, you''re sorry for Isobel, but I think Brian is sorry for
Winwin too."
"Winwin and her aunt were tough, or they would have been crushed by fate long ago."
Paul said this to get Rufus to end this quickly.
There was no point in hising to the cemetery. It only gave his heart a chance to breathe and he
just had some rest.
After all, she had died and nothing could be done to help. The problems should be solved by the living.
"I didn''t expect to harm so many people. I guess I''ll go to hell when I die."
Rufus snorted disdainfully, it was better to die and go to hell, for he didn''t want to see those two
irresponsible people, didn''t want to see his wife who made the kids suffer.
"Do you regret liking Isobel?"
Paul asked Rufus with a sideways nce.
"No, falling in love with Isobel is the least regrettable thing I''ve ever done in my life. What I regret is
lying to Isobel, what I regret is not ending my wrong marriage sooner, and what I regret even more is
just following my father''s arrangement."
Rufus'' answer was confident, because he never regretted having truly loved. Even if more problems
were left behind now, he never regretted loving Isobel.
Isobel had been in his heart since the day they met. He would love her for the rest of his life.
"Since you don''t regret it, it''s better to find a way to solve it. The sooner you solve it, the sooner you
can be with Isobel. You can''t still be alone for the rest of your life."
Hearing that, Paul knew Rufus would persevere. Regardless of the oue, it was still important to
encourage him to keep hanging in there.
It was Friday, and Winnie was still thinking which day to go back.
If she wanted to avoid Brian, she couldn''t go back on Friday night, but she had just checked that
Saturday''s flight was booked out. If she wanted to go back and avoided Brian, she could only book a
flight for Sunday.
If she went back on Sunday, it was thanksgiving on Monday, and she had to rush back to C City in the
evening, which seemed to be rushed.
Just when Winnie was hesitant to know which day to book the flight, Morgan''s call came in.
"Director Chambers, I''m outside your school. I have something for you, can youe out?"
"Now?"
Winnie had just finished school and hadn’t walked to her dorm room yet, and she didn’t expect Morgan
toe at this hour.
"Yes, right now."
Morgan had been waiting for Winnie to get out of ss before making this call.
Morgan had inquired at the janitor''s office about the time Winnie’s ss was over.
"Okay then, I''ll be out in a minute."
Winnie hung up the phone, and asked her ssmate to take the materials back to her dorm room, and
then went to the school entrance.
"Why we can’t talk over the phone?"
Winnie''s voice fell, and her feet stopped. Standing right in front of Morgan, she wanted to know what he
was here for.
"It''s something important."
Morgan smiled awkwardly, because it would be tragic for him if this mission was notpleted.
"Go ahead then."
Winnie smiled gently.
"Director Chambers, I like to see you smile, it makes me feel at ease."
Morgan felt things would be easy when Winnie gave a smile.
"Come on, I''m not just going to be bought off by good words."
Winnie''s smile got bigger, for anyone loved to hear such good words.
"I ...... Ok."
"I ...... booked two tickets back to B City, one for me and one for you."
Morgan said what he wanted to say, and then waited for Winnie''s reaction.
Winnie was enlightened, stopped her smile, but she he sympathized with Morgan.
"Brian sent you, didn''t he?"
"No. ...... No. I came by myself."
Morgan denied it, and looking at Winnie''s rapidly disappearing smile, he knew how much she resisted
Brian. If he said that he was entrusted with an important task, there was really no way for him to
Winnie didn''t say anything, just looked at Morgan suspiciously.
"Director Chambers, I am telling the truth. Mr. Be said I can only go back if you go back, and if you
don''t, I have to stay here with you. Mr. Be asked me to keep you safe."
"But ...... but ......"
Morgan ran out of excuses and didn’t know how to go on. It seemed that he hadn''t done his
preparation.
"What the hell? Are you covering up for him?"
Winnie asked, and she didn''t believe that Morgan was not arranged by Brian.
"No, Director Chambers, actually I ...... actually I want to go home. I haven''t been home for a long time,
it''s the Thanksgiving Day. ...... The most important thing is that my mother has found me a blind date,
and she has made appointment to meet the date on Thanksgiving Day. If you don''t go back, I can’t go
and see her."
Stammering for a long time, Morgan finally came up with a good excuse.
It was true that he hadn''t been home for a long time, and it was true that he wanted to be home, but the
blind date was fictional.
If Winnie didn''t go home, there was no way he could go back either.
"The blind date ...... I must still go back since then. I can’t break your marriage."
Winnie was still doubted, but she knew that Morgan had not been home for a long time. She also knew
that if she didn''t go back, Morgan would definitely not go back.
Thest thing she wanted between her and Brian was to involve other people, and she couldn''t let
Morgan not be able to reunite with his family at the Thanksgiving Day because of her.
"Yes, yes, you can''t break my marriage. Then let''s hurry up and get going, before the ne leaves."
Morgan smiled, but before the moment Winnie got on the ne, he would be worried
Winnie hesitated for a moment, but finally followed Morgan to the airport.
The nended at 8pm and it was already 8:10pm when they walked out of the exit.
Winnie had just walked out when two figures pounced on her.
"Mom."
"Mom."
The two kids jumped into Winnie''s arms at the same time, which only made Winnie feel that her return
was worth it, and it warmed her heart.
"Oh my babies, I miss you so much."
Winnie embraced her two kids. The thing that made her feel the most worthwhile for so many years
was to have two well-behaved kids.
"We miss you too, and we''re good."
Megan replied sweetly to her mother.
She and her brother had been spending the week waiting for her mother to return.
"Good, I''m d you guys are good."
Winnie was not worried about anything else but the safety and health of the kids. There was nothing
else she could ask for if there were no hidden dangers in these two.
Winnie looked up, and Brian was standing directly in front of her line of sight.
"Wee back."
Brian wore a delighted smile, and then a bouquet of fiery red roses was handed to Winnie.
"I ......"
Winnie didn''t like Brian giving her flowers, and they were roses, so she didn''t know if she should ept
them.
"Take it, I won''t say a word extra as long as you take it."
Brian had no excuse, and could only promise to keep his mouth shut.
With the kids were watching, Winnie had no choice but to take the flowers.

The family then happily went out for dinner.
"Mom, Grandpa asked you and Aunt Vanessa to go to the suburbs, so we can all spend the
Thanksgiving Day together."
Megan ate as she conveyed her grandfather''s words.
"We will consider it. Thank Grandpa for me."
Winnie didn''t directly agree, for she was to seek Vanessa''s opinion, but she was afraid that she would
bring inconvenience to others if she went to the suburbs.
