Chapter 278 Near misses
Chapter 278 Near misses
Leo’s method worked, and the car speed did slow down.
"The car slowed down, but I can't stop it. There are many cars ahead. What should I do?"
Winnie was urgent and got cold sweat on forehead. It was at the traffic light intersection, but she had
not stopped the car.
"Switch to automatic gear, and switch it to gear P and the car will stop. Don't panic, be calm."
He advised Winnie and he was anxious.
He could not see the scene of the situation and he could only felt worried.
"......"
Winnie did not speak but followed Leo’s instruction, changed the gear into gear P, and then the car
really stopped.
Winnie breathed a sigh of relief and tried to calm her panicked heart.
"It stops."
She told Leo the news.
Leo also took a sigh of relief.
"Where are you? I'll send my assistant over to help you."
Leo was on a business trip and not at home, so he blamed himself for being unable to help.
"No need, it is all right as the car stops. I will call 4S store. I have had the car not for a long time, so it
should be a quality problem."
Winnie refused. It was weekend, she would feel sorry to bother his assistant.
"Ok, then you stand on the roadside, be careful and turn on double flash lights."
Leo said.
"I know, I am fine, go on with your work."
Winnie hung up the phone, and got off to the back seat to appease Megan.
"It's all right, Megan. We just had a little trouble and it's over."
Winnie held the child in her arms. At the moment she was still afraid. If the speed was fast, if it were in
the city, she and the child would have met an accident.
"Mommy, I'm so scared, I dared not say a word."
This was the sentence Megan said from the car failure, and her voice was trembling.
"It is right not to say a word. Nothing is more dangerous than to interrupt Mommy's thought. Megan,
don’t be afraid. You did a good job."
Winnie calmed Megan, but her heart was still thumping.
Winnie's car parked on the side of the road, with the double flash lights on, which attracted the
attention of many vehicles back and forth.
Brian drove to the suburbs to pick up the children, and Wendy was also in the car.
On the other side of the road, he saw Winnie's car.
Brian turned the direction, and Wendy asked with doubts.
"Why?"
"The car parked by the roadside seems to be Winnie's. Go and have a look."
Brian explained.
Wendy then knew the reason why Brian turned around.
"You care about her and turned around without telling me the reason."
Wendy was displeased.
"I can't pretend not to see it."
Brian explained indifferently and then stopped the car at the roadside.
Brian got out of the car and ran directly to Winnie and knocked on the window.
Winnie looked back and saw that the person standing outside was Brian. At this moment, she was in a
complex state of mind. She was still afraid, and felt sad when she saw Brian.
She pushed open the door and got off. When she wanted to embrace Brian, wanted to release the fear
in heart, she found that Wendy walking over.
At that moment, Winnie suddenly woke up and realized that she was a lonely individual. No matter how
horrible it was, she could only bear it herself.
"Are you going to the suburbs?"
Winnie endured the fear and greeted Brian with a smile.
"What's wrong with your car? Why is it parked in such a dangerous place?"
Brian asked Winnie with worry.
"There's something wrong with the car. I'm waiting for help."
Winnie said lightly, covering the danger and fear.
"What's wrong?"
Brian became nervous.
"Daddy, the car..."
"I don't know what went wrong until it is checked out."
Megan got off and as she wanted to say it was brake failure, Winnie interrupted her. Obviously Winnie
did not want Brian to know the fact.
"It is ok. The rescue car will be here in a minute."
Looking at Wendy standing there with a serious face, Winnie's heart pulled together.
Knowing that she made Wendy unhappy, she wanted Brian to leave as soon as possible.
"Really?"
Looking at Winnie's indifferent appearance, Brian's nervous mood eased.
"Yes, it is ok."
The smile on Winnie's face was bright, so that Brian would not be worried.
"We will go first. We need to pick up Luke in the suburbs and accompany Grandpa to go out. We can’t
be late."
Wendy finally spoke. If she did not say that, Brian might not be willing to leave.
"Ok, I'm sorry to have kept you."
Winnie said sorry.
Wendy's statement was clearly showing off that she could fit into the Bennet family and that she was a
family member.
Winnie took Megan directly back to the car.
It was happy for a family to gather. Winnie could only envy.
"Mommy, why don't you talk to Daddy about the car?"
Megan asked with doubts. She knew Mommy had cut her off because she wanted her to stop talking,
but she didn't know why Daddy could not know about the broken car.
"Daddy can't help us, and it would make him worried. Daddy was in a hurry to get to Grandpa's and we
can't waste his time."
Winnie explained to Megan.
She did not want to make him worried and did not want to bother him. What was more, she did not
want to see Wendy’s gloomy face.
Felix took the family to a quaint villa to play. He felt that his family lack of harmony and communication.
In the morning, they had fun. After lunch, when Felix sat outside in the sun, Luke came to him and sat
down.
"The sun here is so warm, Great Grandpa, if only Megan and Auntie Winwin are here."
Luke said.
Her mother and sister were not there, which made him unhappy.
"It is a family gathering. If they are here, they will feel uncomfortable. Call them the next time."
Felix felt that there was something missing without taking Megan, but others might not think so. So he
didn't suggest that Winnie and Megan came.
"All right, another time, then."
"Great Grandpa, did you grow up with your parents?"
Luke changed the topic, but his topic was always about home.
"Of course, everyone grows up with parents, and so did I."
Felix gave the answer, but he did not know how to answer Luke's next sentence.
"Not everyone. Megan and I are not so lucky."
"I haven't had a Mommy, and Megan hasn't had a Daddy. We are different from other children."
With that, Luke sighed, as if it was a kind of depression for him.
Felix’s heart gathered together seeing that Luke was poor.
This was perhaps the reason Luke and Megan had a good relationship. They had the same fate and
got discriminated in the kindergarten.
"Great Grandpa, can you help me find Mommy? Can I live with her?"
Luke begged Felix, and Felix did not know how to answer.
Luke's Mommy had not been mentioned by the Bennet family for so many years and could not be
found. Even if she was found, she was not acceptable by the family and it would be harm to the child.
"Don't you like Wendy? Wendy can be your mother."
Luke shook his head, and his eyes were very firm.
“Why not?”
Felix continued to ask.
"Because I don't like her."
Luke stopped and looked around to make sure there was no one around before he whispered.
"Great Grandpa, Wendy is not really nice to me. When Daddy is around, she is good to me, but when
Daddy is not around, she always glares at me secretly. Those eyes are just like Penny's. I'm afraid she
will lock me up in the warehouse one day."
Luke said while shaking his head.
He did not make it up. He noticed it when they were in the park.
Otherwise, they would not have made Wendy so miserable that day.
Luke's words let Felix frowned.
He did not expect Wendy was duplicity and not sincere to the child. It seemed that she was not the best
candidate and they could not get married.
"Luke, since you don't like Wendy, who do you like? Your father can't always live alone."
"Great Grandpa, you are partial. You feel sorry that Daddy live alone, but if Daddy gets married, I will Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
live alone, don't you love me?"
Luke bent his head and pouted, in short, he was not happy about the fact that his father was to marry.
Felix felt sad and held Luke in his arms.
"I do love you. You will not be alone. You have me, Grandpa and aunt, you will not be alone."
"Other children have Mommy."
Luke's topic was inseparable from his mother.
He tried to convince his Great Grandpa that he and Megan would have a complete home. And they can
play with everybody.
"......"
Luke stumped Felix, he could not give the child the answer he wanted.
Seeing that Great Grandpa did not speak, Luke knew that he could not compromise, so he had to
compromise first.
"Great Grandpa, if you really want Daddy to get married, I would prefer Auntie Winwin to marry Daddy.
If you and Daddy choose Wendy, I will always live with Auntie Winwin. When I grow up, I'll go and find
Mommy myself."
