Chapter 1513

Author: Mizuki Sei
Stefan was not feeling cold, but he felt that Margaret might know something. After all, she was around Francine's age, and she had been working for the Everhearts for many years. If anything had happened, surely she would know about it.

"Yeah, I'm feeling a bit cold." Stefan got up and opened the door.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hunt—Ms. Ren can be stubborn sometimes. Maybe she's mad at you, so she made you sleep in the storeroom. Let me give you another blanket so you won't be cold." While talking, Margaret carefully laid out a blanket for Stefan.

"Margaret, may I know how long you've been working for the Everheart family?"

Margaret stopped, then smiled and asked, "Why are you asking?"

"No, it's just that I find you very responsible and diligent. It's rare to find someone so loyal to a family even after so many years."

"Ah, you flatter me. It's because Renee's parents were very nice, and they regarded me as their child. I'm just repaying their kindness."

"I heard from Renee that your

    Stefan frowned and asked, "Why? I thought Ren's parents loved each other a lot, and that I should learn from them."A chuckle escaped Margaret, and she said meaningfully, "Naturally, outsiders like us wouldn't know what happened behind the scenes. Besides, every couple has a different way of getting along—you need to find the one that suits you and Ms. Ren best.""Can you tell me about Ren's father then? That year—""I'm sorry, Mr. Hunt. I'm old, and my memory is failing me, so I can't tell you much. It's getting late, and I'm going to bed. You should rest early too, Mr. Hunt," Margaret interrupted Stefan quickly, and headed for the door. Before she left, she turned to Stefan and said quietly, "If you find anything, I suggest you stop looking into it. Sometimes, it's better to not open Pandora's box, no matter how tempting it is. Everything is going well now, so why don't we keep it this way?" After Margaret had left, Stefan sat there, deep in thought. Maybe Margaret was right, an

    "I came to congratulate you; I heard you can see again." Seraphina threw a gift at Jovan arrogantly."Thank you, Ms. Seraphina, how thoughtful." Jovan took the gift and sneered, "Will I be getting an invite to the wedding too?""Don't mess with me! I'm sure you've heard the rumors," Seraphina snapped and angrily kicked Jovan's sofa. "Stefan is an ungrateful jerk. I was so blind that I risked the future of my family to help him!""Why so angry? I was blind, but now I can see. It'll be the same for you—you'll be sensible again once you realize. You'll know how to move forward from now on." Jovan seemed to be hinting at something."I know I should be smart about this, but I still don't know how to move forward. Can I ask for your advice?" Seraphina pretended to be ignorant but her greedy gaze betrayed her. The reason she had come to see Jovan was to see what he could offer her.Jovan narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "What do you want and what's in it for me?" Seraphina smirked. "I w

    "Yes!" Seraphina gritted her teeth, crossing her arms in front of her chest. "He went right after he was discharged from the hospital like a spineless coward. I never got to see him, and their son pushed me into the lake. They made me look like a fool, so I have to be cruel!""What happened after that? How did... Renee react?" Jovan asked, clenching his fists. He usually tried to keep his feelings hidden from others, but he couldn't hide how much he cared about Renee."How else? She must be overjoyed that they're a happy family again!" Seraphina rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Somehow, they'll always go back to each other. Even after everything we did, they just became more inseparable in the end. It looks like we're just insignificant tools to bring them together." Seraphina was trying to make Jovan jealous and angry so he would thoroughly ruin Stefan and Renee."Is that so?" Jovan's eyes glowed with malice. "They'll see how tools win in the end.""What's your plan?" "It's just as

    Stefan served Adie and Abby patiently, then smiled and said, "Whoever finishes breakfast and eats the most has the right to decide."Instantly, the two children started wolfing down their food."Just eat. I'm full, and want to go enjoy the sunlight," Renee said suddenly, looking troubled. She drank a glass of milk, wiped her mouth, and carefully made her way toward the yard for sunbathing.When Stefan noticed Renee's sadness, he asked Margaret to help take care of the children before following Renee to the yard. "What's the matter, Master?" He sat on the lounge beside Renee and asked curiously."Nothing," Renee answered indifferently."There must be something troubling you. Let me guess..." After a brief contemplation, he said, "Do you feel sorry for the kids since you can't play with them no matter where they want to go? You feel frustrated and defeated, don't you?" Renee was shocked. "How... How did you know?" She thought that she had hidden her feelings well, and didn't expec

    It was a call from Elijah. The second Stefan picked up, he asked urgently, "Where are you, Mr. Hunt? It's the annual shareholder meeting today. You need to be here—all the shareholders and executives are waiting for you!""Today?" Stefan frowned and finally remembered. Hunt Enterprise would hold an annual shareholder meeting at the end of the year. It was an important event as it would decide the company's direction and division of profits, and generally, the executives would prepare for it two weeks in advance. As the president of Hunt Enterprise, Stefan would decide the future direction of the company and would also be responsible for the annual operational status of the company. However, instead of showing his commitment, he was nowhere to be seen half an hour into the meeting, and the shareholders and executives were not happy. Elijah had called Stefan several times, and had finally gotten through to him. "Did you forget about it? You moved the date to today because you said you

    Renee knew that Stefan cared about her and the children, and wanted to be with them all the time so he could protect them. However, she also knew the law of the jungle well. If Stefan lost, anyone could bully and humiliate them because Renee was blind now, and she didn't want that to happen."You don't have to be with us all the time; it's enough as long as our hearts are together..." Renee said sincerely, approaching Stefan and holding his hand."Understood." Stefan was suddenly enlightened as he hugged Renee. "I feel stronger now. Wait for me—I'll give you and the kids a stable home!"Stefan then drove to Hunt Enterprise. Meanwhile, Renee went to the yard to pass the time, but the children were a little unhappy that Stefan had left."Mommy, why has Daddy left? Is he going to abandon us again?" Abby asked anxiously, her eyes watery. She liked Stefan very much, but she always expected him to leave them again."No! He's just gone to work and will be back once he's done. Just wait

    Once Seraphina was sure that Stefan was gone, she carefully snuck into Renee's house. She hid nearby and watched Renee and Abby play games. However, she had a feeling that something was amiss. Renee was wearing sunglasses in broad daylight, and her movements seemed unnatural.Could it be..."Mommy, try and guess what I drew." Abby was sitting in front of Renee and drew a butterfly with a marker pen."Is it... a puppy?""Haha! You're wrong—it's a butterfly. It's my turn to tickle you now." Abby giggled then crawled into Renee's arms and tickled her. They laughed and fooled around in the grass, painting a sweet picture in the sunlight.Seraphina was moved watching them, and felt jealous of Renee's life. Stefan loved Renee loyally, Quinton would risk his life for her, and she had best friends like Leia and Liam, not to mention her son and daughter were smart and cute. On the other hand, Seraphina grew up without her mother, and although her father spoiled her, she had no good friends

    Seraphina remained quiet and observed Renee to test her theory. "Seraphina?" Renee turned towards Seraphina and asked indifferently."So, you finally noticed me." Seraphina crossed her arms in front of her chest and studied Renee carefully. She was certain that there was something wrong with Renee's eyes, but Renee seemed strangely calm."Of course." Renee sat on a chair, pointed at the vacant seat beside her, and said casually, "I've been waiting for you to come to me, but I didn't expect you to take this long to do it. Rather generous of you." Seraphina's doubts grew. Although Renee was wearing a pair of sunglasses and looked like a blind person, her actions and behavior didn't add up. Taking a deep breath, Seraphina sat on the vacant chair beside Renee. "You're being generous too. It's funny that you're so enthusiastic and friendly towards your enemy."However, Renee quietly picked up a cup of coffee and sipped it before touching Abby's head. "Go and play with Margaret, Abby.

    "What's that?" Justin frowned and said with disdain, "That's something to fool naive women like you. Only lovestruck fools will believe that." As a materialistic person, he never believed in things like horoscopes and fortune-telling. At most, they were mixed with some psychology. They weren't trustworthy at all.If Renee wanted to use those things to talk about their relationships and destinies, it would seem very childish. "Don't be so extreme. Those things are real and logical." Renee acted like an experienced salesperson and gradually eliminated Justin's prejudice. She said patiently, "If you believe those things, they can guide you and help you to see things through. If not, you can use them to kill time. Just try to get to know them. Isn't that nice?"Finally, Justin was convinced. He had some milk and asked her leisurely, "Fine. Tell me what kind of relationship we have based on those things." "I learned that our relationship is a declining friendship based on our birt

    "I…" Renee paused. For a moment, she had no idea how to answer that question."Don't put yourself in a difficult position. Just follow your heart," Justin said calmly. "If you want to stay, my family will still welcome you readily. If you want to leave, I'll come up with a way to help you leave smoothly."After listening to Justin, Renee answered honestly, "Maybe it's better for me to leave, though I know this choice will hurt you."She could choose to stay to protect Justin's dignity and give Austin a good explanation. It would be more relaxing and steadier for her. However, Renee knew that it could only last briefly. She would cause Justin greater harm. She might as well be decisive and stop the damage in time. "Don't say that." Justin cracked a bitter smile and said with relief, "I've stopped taking things too seriously. If you like me, you won't stop loving me even if we're apart. Similarly, you'll think about another man if you don't like me, even though you're always b

    Austin was having breakfast in the dining room. When he saw Justin and Renee walk over intimately, he finally believed that they had slept together. They seemed like a real couple."Good morning, Grandpa Baldwin!" Renee obediently greeted Austin just like before. She acted normally."Good morning." Austin nodded, unable to suppress his smile. After sizing them up, he calmly said to Renee, "We know how apologetic you are after you toasted to us last night. We'll forget about the past. You're still a part of my family." "Grandpa!" Justin interrupted Austin; he was very protective of Renee. "She's a woman, and we're not married yet. Please don't say that. A woman's reputation is the most important thing.""You…" Austin wanted to refute Justin, but their conflict was just resolved so it would be bad to pressure them more. He shook his head and said, "Fine. You two always have a bland romance. Finally, you've made some progress. I'll let you two decide what to do next.""Got it, Gr

    "Hey, Haze! What are you doing? Get off of me!" Renee struggled in confusion."Hush!" Justin gestured and stopped her.In a while, someone unlocked the door of the room."Mr. Baldwin, let me help you and Ms. Everheart change your clothes." A kind middle-aged woman walked into the room casually. When she found them sleeping together intimately, relief washed over her. "Oh, you guys are still sleeping… Fine, I'll leave you be." Then, the woman exited the room.After that, Justin stopped hovering above Renee, looking awkward. "I'm sorry. It happened all of a sudden. If I hadn't done that, they wouldn't let us go. I just did a small thing to resolve the issue." Justin was fully aware of Austin's thoughts. Although Austin was still angry at Renee, he was satisfied with her and wanted to see her get into a real intimate relationship with Justin. If that did not happen, Austin might tie them up together since the drug had failed. Justin could only act with Renee to avoid the in

    Renee grinned, satisfied after a long rest. "Why didn't you sleep a bit longer? This bed is comfortable and fluffy." While talking, she behaved like a fish as she extended her limbs and rolled around in bed childishly. In comparison to her calmness and ease, Justin behaved gingerly and did not dare to move as he lay in bed."Do you have any idea what had happened? We aren't dreaming. We're lying in the same bed," Justin said.He was certain that Renee was not fully awake. It explained why she was that composed. Otherwise, any normal woman would get out of bed with a start and keep screaming if they found herself lying in a man's bed."I know!" Renee said. After having a great time rolling around, Renee faced Justin with her head on her arm while lying on her side. "I wanted to drink wine to say sorry to you guys last night, but your family drugged the wine. You drank the same wine when you tried to stop me. We were controlled by the drug and were locked up in this room. T

    Renee instantly understood what Justin meant by that. It turned out that the incident was just a part of the Baldwin family's plan. If she left, the Baldwin family would not easily let her off the hook.Justin still cared about her at a time like that, which moved her. "Thank you. You're great." Renee cried; she had no idea how to repay him. "You don't have to thank me. I'm not so great, either. I just hate that they always pester me." Justin purposely sounded relaxed. He finally calmed himself down as he casually grabbed some bandages to bandage his wound. Then, he lay in bed.He slept on one side of the bed and said to Renee, "It's late. You should rest early. This bed is large enough. If you don't mind, you can lie in bed too."The bed was large. It was more than enough even if Renee and Justin lay there."I…" Renee hesitated briefly before she finally got in bed. She trusted Justin. If he wanted to do something indecent to her, he would have long done that. He would no

    "I don't know how to tell you. I'm sure you can understand." Renee could not bring herself to say more because it was a humiliating privacy. She might as well keep it to herself."Let me guess…" Justin's gaze grew sharp as he went straight to the point. "The man in your story is Stefan, isn't it?" Silence washed over Renee as she kept her head bowed. It was a silent approval.Justin burst into reckless laughter, which was scary. He looked down at his cut wound and laughed pathetically. "This is why he could make you fall in love with him, and I couldn't. I'm too cultured compared to him.""Don't say that, Haze!"Seeing how defeated Justin was, Renee became uneasy. "It isn't written in the stars for us. Plus, I've fallen in love with Stefan a long time ago before I even got to know you. I also rely on him physically and psychologically. I can't control my feelings. It's not something we can change. We…" "Stop!" Heartbroken, Justin pushed away everything in front of him and s

    Time passed by. Gradually, the pain knocked some sense into Justin. He no longer wanted to take advantage of Renee."Let me get you some water." Renee had no idea what she could do for Justin. After some contemplation, she got to her feet and poured him a glass of water.Finally, she studied the room closely and found that it was a wedding room as Justin had mentioned. Everything was set up according to her preferences, which she had occasionally mentioned to Justin. For example, she loved keeping some ceramic ornaments on the bedside cabinet and hanging some seashell wind chimes at the windows. The entire room was painted in beige and green, which were her favorites, too. Beige gave a sense of warmth, while green gave a sense of gloominess. All of those details became the perfect wedding room for Renee.If everything went on smoothly, she would spend most of her time there, and he would be her life companion. Unfortunately, there were no ifs in the world.Renee handed the gla

    Renee covered her lips, her tone filled with disbelief. "I…cut myself." Justin leaned against the corner and frowned deeply. He was in deep pain."Why did you cut yourself?" Renee was scared out of her wits and grew more sober. In her panic, she threw herself at him and tried to stop his bleeding.Justin reacted aggressively as he waved his dagger and warned fiercely, "Get away from me! Don't touch me!" "I…" Renee paused, too afraid to act recklessly. She pointed at his wound and said, "I'm just worried about you. You're bleeding. It must hurt a lot. Why did you hurt yourself?" "It's better to be in pain!" Justin gnashed his teeth and said in agony, "The pain will knock some sense into me, so I won't act like an animal and lose control of myself.""I see…" Stunned, Renee was moved to tears. She understood why he cut himself. Surprisingly, he wanted to stay sober and not be controlled by the drug in the wine.He could have used her to satisfy his desire, and she would never b
