Chapter 845 Going to the Supermarket Together
Chapter 845 Going to the Supermarket Together
Winnie came up to instruct the children so that something unhappy would not happen.
"Why? We're going to protect you."
Megan asked her mother suspiciously, if they didn't speak up for her and her aunt, there would be no
place for aunt and her mother in this house.
"Because you're little kids and you need to have the most basic manners. Vanessa and I have Dad to
protect us, so you just have to do what kids do."
"You must obey what I says, or we will leave immediately, you know?"
Winnie was afraid that the two children would not listen, so she had to make a small threat.
"Got it, we won't talk nonsense."
This worked quite well, and both children agreed to Winnie.
The two children went out first, with Winnie and Vanessa in the back.
"You bring the kids back for homework later so they don't talk nonsense and you don't have to be
embarrassed."
Winnie whispered to Vanessa.
"Can you handle it on your own?"
Vanessa asked her sister worriedly.
"No problem, I have face many difficulties. And it is all a piece of cake, you don't have to worry about
me."
Winnie said it casually.
The two children were obedient and greeted people politely when they came downstairs, but it was only
out of politeness.
"I bought you presents, but I left them in the car. I will take you to get them."
Felix said and got up.
"Grandpa, I'll take them to get them."
Vanessa volunteered, fearing that the old man would have difficulty moving at his age.
"We'll go together."
Felix still stood up and took the two children out with Vanessa.
"Uncle Thomas, Aunt Maria, since you're here, eat here tonight. We'll spend thanksgiving together."
Stella invited Thomas and Maria, after all, it would be not polite if she did not invite them.
"Let's see what your grandfather’s opinion is."
Thomas kept his cool and spoke in a subdued manner. He had been talking to Rufus since he came in
and hadn't said anything excessive.
But Maria was different.
She behaved well when Felix was there, and when she saw that Felix had gone out with the two
children, she began to speak in a grim way.
"It's not good for us to spend the holidays here, you have outsiders here, so we’d better go back."
"Every year, we spend holidays together in the old house, I wonder why you don’t gather there this
year. It's a pity about all the things I've prepared for the holidays."
Maria said with dissatisfaction.
Winnie raised the corner of her mouth awkwardly without saying anything. Just like Vanessa said,
pretend that she didn't hear it.
Brian stood right next to Winnie at close range and felt Winnie's discomfort. Brian was afraid that
Winnie would turn away, so he held Winnie's hand from behind.
Winnie's hand was suddenly gripped, she knew it was Brian.
She looked sideways at Brian, gesturing for him to let go. But Brian responded to Aunt Maria as if he
didn't see it.
"No why, you can stay here, if you want to, and if you don’t, please leave."
Maria couldn't accept that, and Winnie was even more embarrassed.
"I ......will listen to your grandfather."
Maria stopped speaking with embarrassment. She could see Brian's determination to defend Winnie. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
She had just said one sentence, but Brian was angry, if she continued, she might be kicked out.
"Then stay, Grandpa will listen to me."
Stella said.
At this time, Winnie's hand was still being held in Brian's hand, and she could not withdraw it back.
With the elders present and so many people watching, she was too embarrassed to protest loudly.
"Let's go to the supermarket and get more food."
Winnie said to Brian, and as long as she took Brian out, she could get out of his grip.
"Go ahead."
Rufus opened his mouth and let Winnie and Brian go out for a while so that they could hide for a while.
No one else said anything, only Maria was straightforward. But Thomas didn't stop her, and her
straightforwardness existed on purpose.
Brian went out with Winnie and when they walked out into the courtyard, they met Felix and the
children.
"Chairman, let's spend the evening here together for the holidays, we'll go to the supermarket to buy
some food."
Winnie opened her mouth, after all, Felix had seen them.
"I came here to have a reunion dinner with you guys, you're not going to the old house, so I'll just have
to come over."
"Director Chambers, I want to eat the dishes you cook."
Felix said what he wanted to eat.
Since Winnie was here and he had missed the food she made for a long time, so he couldn't miss the
opportunity.
"No problem, you can have whatever you want."
"Chairman, we are leaving."
Winnie said and walked out with Brian.
The supermarket was not far from their house and the two men walked there.
"Brian, I don't need you to take care of my business. No matter what Uncle Thomas and Aunt Maria
say, you don't have to stick up for me."
Winnie called Brian out just to warn him. She didn't want to be a thorn in the eyes of others.
"I know what you're worried about, and I know Aunt Maria better than you do. She listens to Uncle
Thomas and she came over here to deliberately cause trouble and make everyone unhappy. If I don't
speak up for you, you'll definitely put up with it."
"But I can't stand it, my woman can't be bullied by others."
Brian found a reason, to refuse to accept Winnie's warning.
"But you have watched me to be bullied many times before."
"Most importantly, I'm not your woman, and you don't need to protect me."
Winnie rejected Brian.
She hadn't had anyone to protect her for so many years, and she had come through it. Now she
needed no one to protect her, especially Brian.
"You are my woman."
Brian seemed to be on a collision course with Winnie, and when she said no, he had to say yes.
"Mr. Bennet, if you do this, I'll go back home with Vanessa."
Winnie stopped her pace to threaten Brian, who was confident the moment before, and as soon as he
heard Winnie was leaving, he hurriedly compromised.
"I will stop it, ok?"
Winnie continued walking towards the front, with Brian following close behind.
"Winwin, grandpa is quite kind to you now. He likes the food you cook and doesn't resist you as much
as before. Do you think there will be a turning point?"
Brian always found some topic to communicate with Winnie, and if Winnie didn't resist, he even tried to
explain what happened in the morning.
Now he looked like nothing was wrong on the surface, but the words Winnie said in the morning were
still spinning in his head. It was a pity that Winnie wouldn't listen to him.
"What? Does it have anything to do with me? I can cook, and it just so happens that your grandfather
likes it. It's as simple as that, I don't think it has anything to do with any turning point."
Winnie refrained from talking as much as possible about things that had nothing to do with her.
As for the turning point, Winnie didn't feel it. Winnie was a good cook to him, but as long as the topic
involved Brian, Winnie immediately turned into an enemy to him.
She kept switching back and forth between these two identities, only Brian didn't notice it.
"He doesn't eat anything made by anyone but his cook. He doesn't even eat my sister's cooking, you
are being the exception."
What Brian said also gave himself a hint, he hadn't realized that this was a change in his grandfather's
attitude towards Winnie.
Although he hadn't been able to accept Winnie until now, he had changed his habits for Winnie. This
was very commendable.
"And what does that prove? He can accept me as his grandson-in-law? And even if he does, can you
accept it?"
Winnie found Brian ridiculous, what could a cooking skill chance? She was still the ordinary person with
no family power, still the humble woman who was a surrogate for money. It was so far from Felix’
grandson-in-law.
"Yes, I accept it without question."
How could Brian not accept it, it was something he was even dreaming about.
"But I don't, I have my own life and I don't want to get involved with you guys."
Winnie had to live a proud and confident life even if she was humble. Eevn if she just can't admit defeat
under any conditions, she could not be with Brian.
She knew very well that only Brian's willingness was not enough. If Felix didn't nod his head in
agreement, she would only be a mistress in Felix's eyes for the rest of her life.
Vanessa and Felix with two children outside played happily, although that Lego toy was Felix’s choose,
he knew nothing about it.
Sitting in the pavilion, Felix watched the kids having fun.
"Vanessa, I heard you went straight to junior year, you are excellent."
Vanessa was serious playing the top, he could guess how hard she would work in the future.
"I wouldn't dare call myself excellent in front of you. I just have a little more time to study and a little
less time to sleep and play than everyone else. The rest is the same as everyone else."
Vanessa was modest, composed.
Felix nodded, nowadays, in this society nowadays, there were almost no more of these kids who could
be perfect in every aspect like Vanessa.
"It's better to have more fun at your age, you won't be able to have the mood at this age when you're
older and have more worries."
