Chapter 64 Sincere Apology
Just when Winnie smiled happily, her phone suddenly rang. However, it was not a voice call but a video Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
invitation. Seeing that it was from Brian, Winnie handed the phone to Luke.
"Uncle, aunt, I'm full and I'm going to talk to daddy."
Luke put down chopsticks and ran out of dining room with the mobile phone.
Megan also finished eating hurriedly and went to find Luke. Only Winnie and Leo were left in the dining
room.
"Have some more food, and don't stop eating because kids left the table."
Leo was afraid that Winnie would also put down her chopsticks.
"Well, I'll continue. Leo, do you have any wine? I want to drink a little."
Originally, Winnie had forgotten the issue about Brian after having a rest at home. Naturally, she
wouldn't want to drink some wine. However, she remembered it once again because of the video
invitation from Brian.
When she was upset, she would want to drink some wine. Only in this way could she not think too
much and have a sound sleep, although she got drunk easily.
"Well, wait for a while. I'll go get it."
Leo was willing to have a drink with her. As he spoke, he stood up and went to get some wine.
Soon, he was back.
Leo poured two glass of red wine and handed one to Winnie, after which they drank off the red wine.
"The red wine tastes good."
Winnie said while tasting the red wine.
She didn't know much about wine. Considering that it tasted mild and soft and not sharp at all, she
thought that she could drink a little more.
"It's ok, but it's strong. You're not good at drinking wine, so don't drink too much."
Leo said out of concern and saw that Winnie was a little helpless.
"It doesn't matter. My apartment is next to your home. I don't have to drive. I can get home even if I'm
so drunk that I can only crawl."
Winnie joked. At this moment, she wished she could get drunk. In this way, she could fall asleep and
would not think of anything else.
"Just drink if you want to. I won't let you crawl back home."
Leo said considerately. Winnie had never taken the initiative to ask for drinking wine like this. Today
was an exception, which meant that she was in a bad mood.
Since she wanted to drink wine to vent, Leo decided not to stop her anymore. If she got drunk, he
would send her back to her home. If she was so drunk that she couldn't walk, he would carry her back
in his arms, as long as she could felt better.
"Well, let's have another drink."
As she spoke, Winnie poured two glasses of red wine and drank off again.
She drank too quickly, so she coughed after putting down her glass. Seeing this, Leo said to her in a
hurry.
"Slow down. You shouldn't drink red wine in such a quick way. You should taste red wine slowly."
"It tastes so good. If I don't drink it quickly, you'll drink it all. Let me have another drink. This time I, I'll
pour a little less red wine."
She began to pour red wine while she spoke with a smile. She didn't pour much less red wine than
before.
"Come on. One more drink."
For reasons unknown, the more red wine Winnie drank, the more she felt aggrieved. She managed to
smile, but her smile was too unnatural.
Winnie put down the glass and picked up the bottle of wine, but Leo took the bottle away from her.
"Stop now. You can't keep drinking."
Leo was afraid that Winnie, who easily got drunk, would drink too much, so he stopped her hurriedly.
"Are you in any trouble?"
Leo asked.
Winnie looked at the empty glass and was in a daze for a while. Then she tried to disguise herself with
a smile.
"No, I'm fine now. Penny doesn't come to make trouble for me and I'm getting along all right in my job.
I'm not in any trouble."
Winnie denied. She didn't know why her mind was in turmoil and how to tell others about it.
"Winwin, I promised that I'll help you unconditionally if you are in need of me no matter what happened.
Four years ago..."
Leo wanted to explain things clearly and overcome the barrier between them. This time, Winnie didn't
stop him. However, when he just began to talk, Winnie's other phone rang and Leo had to stop again.
"I'm sorry. Wait a minute. I have to answer the phone call."
Winnie was lost in thought and didn't notice what Leo was saying. If the phone hadn't rang, she
wouldn't be able to push those thoughts away.
Winnie answered the phone call.
"Vanessa."
"Winnie, aunt agreed that I can study in a university in B City. Besides, aunt will go back with me."
Winnie heard Vanessa's excited voice. She smiled happily, too. Leo couldn't help staring at her
because of her smile.
Winnie got through hard times and became silent. However, she was still the kind woman who smiled
happily. However, there was something that could not be changed and Leo regretted very much.
"Great. Then work hard in the rest days. Only when you get good grades can you go to the best
university in B City. I'll be here waiting for you and aunt."
She hung up after chatting with Vanessa for a while.
Hearing that aunt and Vanessa would come back a few months later, Winnie felt much better.
"I'm very happy that my younger sister and aunt will be back soon. Let's have another drink."
Winnie took the bottle of wine and poured a glass. Then, she drank off it without paying attention to
Leo.
At this time, Winnie's face was slightly red. The wine had already begun to work.
"Your younger sister?"
Leo asked. Seeing that Winnie felt better, he couldn't bear to talk about previous topic.
"Yes, Vanessa."
Winnie was relieved. She looked forward to Vanessa and aunt coming back. When they were back,
they could help her take care of her children and she didn't always have to ask for help.
"Has Vanessa recovered from her illness? Would she be stimulated if she come back to B City?"
Leo asked casually without thinking too much, but Winnie grew tense after hearing it.
She suddenly looked up at Leo in doubt.
"Why did you know that Vanessa was ill?"
Leo knew nothing about what happened four years ago, and she didn't tell him after she came back.
However, Leo talked about it naturally as if he knew everything.
Winnie asked seriously, and Leo just knew that he asked something he shouldn't have asked.
Leo was stunned for a moment and then calmed down.
Since it was inevitable to talk about this topic, just go with the flow. Winnie could feel relieved earlier if
he talked about it earlier.
"Winwin..."
Leo repeated what Daenerys had told him.
After his explanation, there was only silence. Leo dared not act recklessly because he was worried that
Winnie would get excited.
Hearing his explanation, Winnie's eyes turned red, and she couldn't help feeling painful. It seemed that
what had happened four years ago happened just now and could still hurt her.
Winnie was in a daze. She didn't say a word. She thought that she would scold Leo angrily after Leo
knew the fact, so that she could vent her resentment.
However, Winnie could only feel painful at this moment, having not the strength of getting angry. Wasn't
she painful anymore? Was she not resentful? Did she give up her hatred for Leo?
"Winwin, I wanted to apologize to you the moment I knew the fact, but I'm ashamed and haven't the
courage to mention what happened four years ago. If I hadn't been cheated by Penny four years ago,
you wouldn't have suffered from those painful things."
Leo came close to Winnie, sat down and began to apologize sincerely.
Seeing Winnie's sad and resent expression, Leo's heart palpitated.
Winnie said nothing and Leo continued to say.
"Winwin, I was wrong four years ago. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Winwin."
Leo said sincerely and he felt even more painful when he saw Winnie was about to experience an
emotional breakdown.
"Winwin, I dare not ask you to forgive me. You can continue to hate me until you feel better. You're not
a liar. You're a good woman who is more kind than anyone else. I'm silly and out of my mind, so I
believe what Penny said. Being so stupid, I deserve to be hated all my life."
Leo could only say these words. Winnie was treated unfairly because of his distrust. And she suffered
for so many years because he abandoned her.
It was his ignorance that caused all these things, so he dared not expect Winnie to forgive him.
"Stop...Stop..."
Winnie finally couldn't help weeping.
It seemed that his apology was meaningless. Could it be of any other use but to prove that she wasn't
a liar?
Leo had already known that it was Penny's fault. That's enough. It was unnecessary to think about love
and hatred because they had disappeared as time went by.
"Winwin, I'm sorry. I claimed that I loved you so much, but I did such a nasty thing when you needed
me most. I am sorry."
Seeing her tears, Leo blamed himself more and felt that he was a bastard. He kept apologizing and
couldn't help feeling distressed.
"Leo, stop. I don't want to mention what happened four years ago anymore. At that time, I was
desperate and wanted to commit suicide."
Winnie was completely heartbroken because of his words and couldn't help crying.
She had been depressed and wronged for four years. Today, Leo said these words to her and sincerely
apologized to her. She could finally vent her depression and grievance.
Seeing Winnie cry sadly, Leo was so distressed that there were tears in his eyes.
He couldn't help holding Winnie in his arms and comforted her in a soft voice.
"I'm sorry, Winwin. It's all my fault. I was wrong. Don't cry anymore. You can beat me and scold me.
Don't suppress yourself."
Winnie couldn't say a word. Although she felt comfortable when she was held in his arms and although
she had vent her depression and grievance, she no longer loved Leo like she did four years ago.
It was too late. Everything had disappeared. And they couldn't go back to the past.
She got through hard times alone. The apology was just a little consolation for her. She still bore
everything alone.
Winnie cried so hard that she couldn't speak. And she didn't have the strength to push Leo away. All
right. For the time being, let her vent while leaning against Leo and let her cry for a while.
At the same time, Luke was still talking to Brian in the living room.
Brian wanted to see Megan, so he let Luke switch the camera. In fact, only he knew who he wanted to
see more.
However, after the camera was switched, Brian saw not only Megan, but also the two people sitting
together in the dining room.
Brian looked at them coldly. Although he couldn't hear what they were talking about, he could see that
Winnie was very sad and Leo was guilty.
Later, Winnie didn't speak but cried, and then Leo held her in his arms.
At this moment, Brian couldn't stand it anymore and hung up the video directly.
