Chapter 85 He Can’t Choose His Parents
Chapter 85 He Can’t Choose His Parents
Brian couldn't understand why Kevin said so. He looked at Kevin in confusion.
"Luke didn’t tell me anything. I always saw Luke during the few days in the hospital. I feel that this child
is too quiet. He is only a five-year-old child. Oh, no, he is only four years old. But he is not totally like a
four-year-old child. He is not innocent and lively. He is just always in a daze. If it continues, he might
have a mild depression."
Kevin said tactfully. Since Winnie repeatedly asked him not to tell Brian, he would not let Brian know.
"He has always been like this."
Brian didn't notice Luke's depression, and never paid attention to it. However, Luke was indeed not like
a child of his age compared to Megan.
"No, he shouldn't be like that. You are his father. You should care about him more. I can see the reason
why he is depressed must be inseparable from your alienation and indifference."
Kevin didn't know the real cause of Luke's depression, but Luke’s failure to release himself for so many
years must have something to do with Brian. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"..."
Brian was unable to answer the question. He admitted that he cared less about Luke. So he couldn’t
refute Kevin at all.
In Brian’s impression, it seemed that only after Luke met Winnie did he have a smile on his face and he
wasn’t as timid as before.
"Brian, since you agreed to let him come to the world at that time, you should be responsible for him.
Don't ignore him because of a woman. He is not wrong. If it was her who gave birth to Luke, would you
still be as alienated to Luke as you are now?"
Only Brian knew who Kevin referred to. Only Kevin knew why Brian had deliberately ignored Luke for
so many years.
Brian still didn't speak. When Luke mentioned the woman, Brian’s face instantly became cold.
"I will consider your words. I'm going to have a meeting."
Brian didn't want to recall the past and didn't want to talk about that woman, and didn't want to choose
between Luke and that woman.
"Okay. When a child is born, he can’t choose his parents. If he can choose, he would rather be born in
a happy and warm home. Although the conditions of family are a little worse, it is better than seeing
your cold face. So don’t bully your child that he can’t choose his parents. Don’t wait for your child to
hate you."
Kevin saw that Brian didn't respond. He was anxious for Luke and angry with Brian, so his tone
inevitably became a little harsh. He still had a lot to say, but Brian seemed to be very resistant to this
topic. So he could only end the topic as soon as possible.
But for Luke, he still had to tell Brian. If Brian still continued not to care about Luke, Luke’s life would be
ruined. At that time, the person who would regret was still Brian.
Winnie had not gone to work. She had been taking Luke to actively cooperate with the doctor for
treatment these days. The effect was still very obvious. Luke wasn’t in a daze all the time. He smiled
more. It was just that others couldn't talk about Penny in front of him. As long as others talked about
Penny, he would become silent.
The company's position had been vacant. Today, there was a software problem that couldn’t be solved,
so Winnie could only go to the company.
When Winnie walked out of the elevator, she saw that Klara’s face looked terrible. Winnie felt angry.
Winnie held back her anger and didn’t say anything. She wanted to solve the company's difficulties
first.
This matter was indeed a bit tricky. Winnie was so busy. She didn't even eat lunch until two o'clock in
the afternoon.
"Winnie, you are so great. Only you can solve this problem."
Alice was very happy. There were a lot of talents in software development in the company, but no one
could solve the problem. Winnie just spent a little time on it, but she solved it very well. Alice felt so
proud of Winnie.
"It's just that I happen to know about it. Alice, go to ask someone to analyze and see if there is anything
wrong."
Winnie was so tired. Her stomach was still grunting. She had worked from the morning to now. It was
so tired.
"I'm going now."
Alice took the U disk and left. Before Winnie could stretched herself, Alice returned.
"Winnie, Mr. Bennet wants you to go to his office."
"Got it."
Winnie got up but she found that her legs were all numb. After easing for a while, she was going to the
president's office.
As soon as she opened the door and came in, Winnie smelt a scent of the food. Following the scent,
she saw some fast food was placed on the coffee table. Winnie thought to herself.
Brian must had done it deliberately. He knew that she was starving, but he still put so many delicious
foods here. She could only watch and smell it. She would starve to death.
If Brian used this trick to take revenge on her, it was undoubtedly the most vicious way.
"What's up?"
Winnie decided to ignore the scent of the food. She wanted to deal with the problem quickly so as not
to be tortured by the scent of the food.
"Sit down."
Brian said, got up and walked out from behind the desk.
"Just say it. I still have a little work to do. I have to pick up children later."
Winnie didn't want to sit down. If she sat down, she was closer to the food. She would feel hungrier.
"Sit down and eat."
Brian said imperatively. But Winnie was stunned.
Did Brian just talk about eating? Who did he let eat it? She? Was the food prepared for her?
Who could answer her questions? If the food was not prepared for her, wouldn't she be so awkward if
she sat down? It would be so embarrassing.
"Are you not hungry? Or are you afraid that I will put poison into the food?"
Brian asked coldly. He really didn't know what this stupid woman was thinking about? He let her sit
down and eat. Why did she look so shocked?
"You let me sit down to eat?"
In order to make sure not to make a mistake, Winnie asked.
"Do you see anyone else here?"
Brian asked. Just now, a lot of people praised her for being smart, praising that she was a talent and
solved an important software development of the company. But why did she look so stupid now? She
actually asked such a stupid question.
"Well, I will sit down to eat."
Winnie sat down obediently, with a smile on her face, as if the sunlight also went into her heart.
"It’s so much. I can't finish it by myself."
Winnie said while holding the tableware. At this time, Brian also sat beside her.
"It’s not for you alone."
Brian also reached out and took the tableware.
"You didn't have lunch either?"
"Yes. You are so inefficient. You and I are not the only ones who haven't eaten."
Brian said insincerely.
Winnie solved a big problem. He was prouder than anyone else. All the waiting people had lunch, but
he did not. Because he knew that Winnie didn’t have lunch.
"I'm so fast. Do you know? The program of this software is very complicated. I..."
"It's time for lunch. Don't tell so much. Eat."
Winnie glared helplessly at Brian and then began to eat.
Damn it! He didn't know how difficult it was for her to solve the problem. If he didn’t know how difficult it
was, he should know how much benefit the development of this software would bring to the company,
right?
For the sake of the great benefit, he shouldn't say that she was inefficient at work. Since he thought
she was inefficient, he could find someone else. Why did he make her tired for a day?
Winnie scolded Brian secretly, but she could only complain secretly. If she said these words out, it
would inevitably cause unnecessary controversy.
Brian had never regarded her as an important person. It was not surprised that he could say these
words. She should be used to it.
At this time, Klara brought two glasses of water and walked in. Seeing the two people sitting close
together, she was first startled and then frowned.
"Mr. Bennet, your water."
Klara put both glasses of water on Brian's side, and then looked at Winnie with cold eyes.
Winnie also thought that Klara would give her cold shoulders, but she wanted to see how disgust Klara
felt to her.
Winnie looked up at Klara. In addition to disgust, there was hatred and jealousy in Klara's eyes.
"I want to drink water."
Winnie spoke suddenly, her voice very soft. It was obvious that she was speaking to Brian.
Brian didn't think much. He just picked up a glass of water beside him and handed it to Winnie.
Winnie took a sip of the water and put it on her side, and then spoke to Klara.
"Miss Klara, sit down and eat together."
"No, I've already eaten. You guys enjoy yourselves. I have to get out first."
After Klara glanced at Winnie angrily, she went out.
Winnie snorted. If Klara didn’t go out, Winnie might be choked.
Klara's hostility toward her was getting stronger and stronger. Winnie probably guessed the reasons. It
was just that she was a bit wronged when she was treated by Klara as an enemy.
Winnie decided to set aside Klara's affairs for the time being. She would definitely have a good talk with
Klara when she went out.
"Have you been busy these days? Why didn't you go to see Luke?"
Winnie spoke.
Brian was startled and then answered.
"Very busy."
He lied again. In fact, he was not that busy at all. But after Kevin talked to him that day, he was upset.
He wanted to keep approaching Winnie, but he was fear of harming that woman. If he didn’t approach
Winnie, he couldn't control himself.
So he was trying his best to endure it these days. Although it was very difficult to endure, he endured it.
"Please go to see Luke if you’re available. During this time, he is not in a high mood. He misses you so
much."
Winnie already knew that Kevin hadn't made some progresses. So she could only talk with Brian
appropriately.
Kevin said that Luke's depression had something to do with Brian. Although Winnie didn't know why
Kevin said so, she could only know Brian would definitely be of great help to Luke's recovery from
depression.
So for the sake of Luke, she invited Brian to her house.
"Do you miss me?"
Brian suddenly asked a rather abrupt question, but even he himself didn't know why he asked this
question.
Winnie stopped eating. She was looking thoughtfully at the food on the coffee table.
"Do you think I will miss you?"
Winnie was also stunned. Otherwise, she wouldn't give such a stupid answer.
"Eat."
Winnie's answer made Brian very disappointed. His face darkened in an instant. His voice seemed to
be cold more.
It seemed that he couldn’t get along with Winnie. She could always annoy him easily and bring him all
troubles.
Winnie smiled bitterly and continued to eat.
After eating, Winnie left the president's office. When she passed the secretary's office, she saw the
disgust in Klara's eyes again.
Winnie saw that there was no one else in the secretary's office, so she walked in.
