Chapter 1694

Author: Mizuki Sei
Both Leia and Renee walked to the back garden, where the warm sunlight and fragrance of flowers seemed to make the world a better place.

Leia finally decided to bring up Stefan when she saw Renee so gloomy. "Don't worry, Ren. They're probably not back yet because that place is far away. Since we haven't heard anything yet, it's probably good news. Plus, Stefan isn't an ordinary man, and Quinton and that dog Xavier have gone to help him. I'm sure they're fine."

"I know... I know they'll be fine." Renee nodded and forced a smile. "I just feel like… the weather's so nice, and the flowers will wilt if he doesn't come back soon. It'll be a waste of good time."

"It's okay. Flowers will blossom again even if they wilt. It's fine as long as you're happy and healthy when you welcome him home," Leia said brightly, hoping to cheer Renee up. She felt bad because Renee was sulky all the time.

"Are you worried about Xavier?" Renee asked curiously.

"Why should I be worried about a dog?" Leia sc

    Renee chuckled. "Of course I'm happy to have you with me. I don't find you annoying. I just feel that you guys have been taking care of me all the time like I'm a baby, and it made me rely on you. I don't want to keep on being like this. It's time for me to face the world alone." "What did you say? What nonsense is that?" Leia asked anxiously, frightened by Renee's words. Both Stefan and Quinton were not around, so Leia was responsible for taking care of Renee. What if something happened to Renee, or she became even more unhappy? If that happened, Stefan and the others might hack Leia into pieces, and she might even kill herself."Do you remember the last time I left Everheart Manor?" Renee asked Leia vaguely."Let me think about it..." Leia frowned contemplatively, and realized that it had been a very long time since Renee had gone out. "It was probably the time when Shirley's fans attacked us, but that wasn't your fault. I was careless, and it gave them the opportunity to attack

    "Ah... it's not a good idea to go out now. Why don't you wait a little?" Leia suggested hesitantly, but in actuality, she couldn't say no to Renee when she asked her something so coquettishly. After a while, she agreed."I heard that Miss Band is coming to Beach City for a performance at Hill Pub. Let's go check it out!" Renee said excitedly, sounding like she had just been released from prison. Miss Band was an old band from Eliwern, and it was the band she and Leia loved the most during their college days. It was an old band from Eliwern. Renee, Leia, and Liam formed a band because they idolized them, and they had then become a legend in BC University and gained a lot of fans. But a few years ago, Miss Band had disbanded, upsetting many of their fans. After being low-key for a few years, the band had now started going on tours around the world with its original members. It was such a rare chance, and Renee didn't want to miss it."Yes, we can go there but... Why don't we just watch

    The pub was overcrowded, and everyone was eagerly waiting for Miss Band to appear. Leia and Renee wore dark punk clothes with large sunglasses and dreadlocks. They looked like cool young women who loved rock music."Ren, it's cramped and stuffy here. Why don't we go back?" Leia held Renee's hand firmly the whole time, and the noise nearly drowned her voice. "Okay, let's go in!" Renee didn't hear Leia. She looked happier than she had been for a long time. She kept feeling things around her as she moved through the crowd, trying to get closer to the stage. As she did so, she accidentally stepped on the foot of a young woman."Hey, what are you doing? Are you blind? You stepped on my foot!""I'm so sorry!" Renee kept nodding and apologizing. "Do you think saying sorry will help? Have you never watched a performance before? Why do you keep pushing me? What's the rush?" The lady's friend demanded as she chewed her gum, trying to seek justice for her friend. Leia bristled and immed

    "Thank you." Renee breathed a sigh of relief and stood up straight using the man's support.The man was silent as if he was staring at her for a long time. After that, he whispered to her, "Do you like Miss Band?" "Yeah!" Renee adjusted her sunglasses and pretended to be calm. "Miss Band is my rock enlightenment band—I fell in love with rock because of them. To be honest, I learned from them and came up with a band myself!""I know." The man explained calmly, "I recognized you, and I'm your fan.""Really?" Renee was surprised. It had been a while since she had been in a band. Even if it was very popular back then, it was so long ago that people had probably forgotten about it. But somehow, Renee had bumped into a fan of hers."I know all your band's songs, and I can sing them all." "Well... that's quite unusual!" Renee pushed her hair behind her ear awkwardly. Back then, she had been confident and direct, but after going through so much, she'd become humble. When she was in a b

    "You can't reach her? How come?" Renee held out her hand. "Give me my phone. Let me call her."However, the man refused to do so.At that moment, Renee knew that something was wrong. "Who... are you?" She asked the man coldly. "I thought you could tell from my voice...""Are you... Jovan?" Renee asked tentatively. At first, she'd found his voice familiar, but the place was very noisy, and she felt like someone as successful as Jovan wouldn't come to a pub to watch a performance.. At that moment, a lively melody came from the stage downstairs. Jovan chuckled softly. "Let's listen to the song. The music is nice, so let's not ruin the moment.""So it is you." Once Renee confirmed that it was Jovan, some of her anxiety faded. She had expected him to come find her sooner or later, and knew what to do if he did. Truthfully, she'd thought they would meet sooner, but fortunately, they had met in a nice place. She hoped they could remain on good terms. Jovan was absorbed in the mus

    Renee was speechless. Of course she was aware of Jovan's feelings for her, but after everything that had happened, she didn't want to talk about it. "If I could, I'd rather have you instead. Someone else can have that lousy Hunt Enterprise!" Jovan complained as he sulkily sipped his wine, acting like a child in front of Renee. Renee's fingers tapped the table along to Miss Band's music, and she looked relaxed. Calmly, she said, "Jovan, I did owe you in the past, but I don't owe you anything now. What you want is none of my business. If you consider me a friend, please let me go back to my friend." She was no fool—she knew that her fate was in Jovan's hands today, but she still hoped that Jovan could be rational and let her go..."Yes, you don't owe it to me, but I owe it to you. Your eyes are as perfect as gemstones, and I feel guilty every day that I use them. Do you think I can pretend to be ignorant and keep on shamelessly using them?" Jovan clenched his fists and blinked back

    Jovan pulled Renee into his arms."You..." Renee started to struggle, but suddenly, a strong smell hit her nose. She opened her mouth to protest, but before she could say anything, she blacked out.-When Renee woke up, she found herself lying in a large bed. She instantly realized that she was at Jovan's manor in the suburbs away from the city. When she had surgery to donate her eyes to Jovan, she had laid in the same bed."You're awake?" Jovan's voice came from above her, gentle and passionate. A chill crept up Renee's spine, and she sat up, leaning back against the head of the bed. "Why did you bring me here? Don't tell me you want to force me to fall in love with you; it doesn't suit you, Jovan.""You still can make jokes. It seems like you're in good spirits." Jovan smiled and walked to the wine cabinet. He poured himself a glass of wine and went to sit on the sofa near the bed, leisurely crossing his legs. Slowly, he said, "Forcing you to love me, hmm? Well, I can certainl

    Renee figured that Jovan had lost his mind, so she decided not to waste her time talking to him. She accepted her situation since she couldn't do anything about it.Jovan was surprised at the sudden change in her attitude. Flattered, he fawned over Renee every day diligently.On a bright afternoon, Jovan insisted on listening to some CDs with Renee.Helpless, Renee chose to listen to the songs with him. Yes, Jovan was crazy, but his taste in music was as good as hers. He liked bands that she liked, like Oasis, Keane, and Coldplay. If Renee and Jovan only chatted about music, the atmosphere would be good, and they could talk for the whole afternoon."Listen to this song. It's called Hey Jude, and it's a classic by The Beatles..." Jovan said eagerly as he placed a CD in an old-fashioned record player. The Beatles had been formed in 1960 and was considered the pioneer of rock music. Most of their songs had become hits, including Hey Jude, which was their most popular song. The nice

    After a pause, a long sigh escaped Timothy. "Well, children are lacking."Both Alexander and Francine kept quiet. They knew he was going to start talking about that again.Timothy would always talk about the same thing whenever they sat down for a meal. He would make Stefan ask Renee to remarry him, and then demand he get his children home. The harmonious atmosphere would become particularly gloomy and tense every time Timothy brought that up. They knew the thing he yearned for was a prohibited topic for Stefan.It seemed Stefan had made up his mind to never have anything to do with Renee. His face would sink every time they talked about him making peace with Renee, remarrying her, or the children. He would put the fork down and leave. However, Timothy mentioned that topic straightaway during dinner. Awkwardness soon filled Alexander and Francine, and they didn't dare to speak at all. They were afraid that the reunion dinner would become a battlefield."Yes, you're right."

    "Uh, well…" Suddenly, Francine found it hard to tell Stefan the truth. After all, she knew better than anyone how much he loved Renee. However, Renee was going to marry another man. It must be a big blow for Stefan."What's wrong?" Stefan narrowed his eyes and studied Francine, who was acting weird."Nothing! Let's eat. It's the New Year. Let's eat together." Alexander found it cruel to expose the news to Stefan since it was the family reunion day, so he changed the topic of the conversation. "Fine." Stefan stopped raising questions and walked straight toward the dining table.Francine watched his back and hesitated. She was about to speak up when Alexander held her wrist. "Calm down."Alexander whispered to her, "Let's eat first. Don't ruin the New Year for him.""Yes, you're right. I should calm down." After some contemplation, she felt that Alexander was considerate. She nodded and decided to wait until after the New Year.It was a grand feast.Usually, the Hunt Manor

    Francine was confident in Renee. She felt that Renee and Stefan sincerely loved each other deeply, and their romance wouldn't be over that easily. Unfortunately, they cared too much about their reputation and were stubborn. Someone needed to resolve that stalemate. "You made it sound so easy. Ren is single. If she wants to marry, she can marry anyone. We're just her ex-in-laws. We can't meddle in her affairs." Alexander shook his head. He was full of remorse since he felt that the sail had shipped. He blamed his insensible son instead of Renee. Stefan didn't cherish such a good woman—served him right to lose her!"We can't do anything about it, but our son can!" Francine said confidently. "They're always caught up with each other, and they can't stop loving each other.""What do you mean?""Stef can win Ren back as long as he does something.""But they've ended up like this. If they wanted to remarry, they would have long done so. You made it sound too easy," Alexander said,

    Francine's cry attracted Alexander's attention. He was reading the newspaper while sitting on the sofa. It was the New Year, and everyone was waiting for Stefan to come home for a meal. Alexander put the newspaper down and looked at Francine with confusion. "Dear, it's the New Year. Why are you making so much noise?" "Nothing." Francine found herself unable to hold the invitation card. She wanted to throw it away, never to expose it to anyone else. However, her reaction made Alexander feel that things weren't that simple. He placed the newspaper down and walked toward her. "What have you got there? Who's getting married? They sent us an invitation card."Alexander was already retired and no longer took note of the happenings around him. He also disliked handling people and affairs. Hence, he generally would not attend his relatives' or friends' events. He would just let Stefan handle them.No one ordinary could deliver an invitation card to Hunt Manor. Francine's expression c

    If they fell out with each other at that time, Adie could casually make a few viruses. He couldn't fight them head-on, but he could at least make the properties under the Baldwin family plummet."Same with me," Quinton chimed in, shooting Justin a cold and threatening glare. "If you guys are lovey-dovey, I'll sincerely give you my blessings. If you let her down, I'll ruin your family."The air grew fierce because of Adie and Quinton's warning. "Uh…" Justin was clueless about how he should respond to them. Feeling awkward, he raised the food. "Let's eat something.""This is a serious moment, and I'm still waiting for your reply. I don't want to eat anything!" Quinton kept his solemn face, his tone far from joking."Yeah, say something!" Adie urged Justin and hoped to get a reply."I…" For the first time, Justin felt stressed. Both Quinton and Adie were difficult to handle. Undeniably, Renee's family was powerful."Okay, stop it! What are you doing? How could you bully the host h

    Abby blinked and felt that Adie was right, so she stopped resisting it. "Adie, you're right. I think Mr. Baldwin is a pretty good guy though he's not as handsome, mature, charming, and capable as Daddy…"Abby couldn't stop talking. She compared Justin to Stefan and mentioned endless aspects where Justin was worse than Stefan.Coincidentally, Justin came with a lot of local delicacies for Adie, Abby, and Margaret when he learned that they had come. He happened to witness that scene. "Mr. Baldwin isn't as smart as Daddy. Plus, his voice isn't as pleasant as Daddy's. Sometimes he's more childish than us though he's an adult…""Ahem, ahem!" Renee noticed Justin's arrival and immediately cleared her throat to try to stop Abby from commenting on Justin. Unfortunately, Abby didn't stop. It was unknown if she did it on purpose or if she admired Stefan too much."But…" Abby finally stopped talking about Justin's weaknesses.A sigh of relief soon escaped Renee. She knew Abby was abou

    Quinton couldn't understand why Renee would be so obstinate when she was generally straightforward and casual."You don't know." Renee sighed and kept her past with the Baldwin family from him. She stood Justin up back then and ran away from the Baldwin family. When Austin learned about that, he nearly made her pay a heavy price for it.At that time, she learned about how dangerous Austin was. When he was happy, he could give all kinds of rewards and make one feel superior. But if he got unhappy and was provoked, he would make one pay a heavy price."Forget it. Let's not talk about that." Renee looked ahead and said curiously, "I wonder what kind of surprise he got me. I hope it's not too much.""I know what it is." Quinton raised his chin and smiled. It looked like he was aware of what the surprise was. "What is it?""Let's go. You'll know when you reach there." Austin asked Renee to head to the West Chamber because the surprise was there. When she reached, she opened the d

    Renee wasn't expecting anything when she heard about the surprise. On the contrary, she was scared and wondered what kind of shock it would give her. She knew the Baldwin family's favor and tolerance toward her was more than she could accept. Things might get troublesome if she failed to give a fair response for such kindness… She walked out of the mansion with Quinton, who could tell that she was uneasy. "Renee, why do you look this anxious?""Do I?" Renee snapped back to reality and forced a smile. "I'm pretty happy. I'm not anxious at all." Quinton looked at Renee while shaking his head and sighing. "You might have fooled others but not me. You're unhappy."They were twins who shared a telepathic connection, and Renee looked displeased. Of course, Quinton could tell.Renee stopped pretending since they reached a rather quiet spot. She exposed her true feelings and said, "No, I'm not. I just feel ill at ease."She knew Quinton was the only one she could show her true feelin

    Austin wanted to help when the Everheart family was down and out, but he could not bring himself to do so because he was trying to save face.He had thought that the Everhearts could soldier through since they were strong and had support from the Hunt family. Then, he learned about how serious the issue was when he read about the news of Renee's parents killing themselves. However, it was already too late when he wanted to help them at that time…"No, it's not too late," Quinton said coldly. "I've been investigating the families who attacked my family that year and got a shocking list. My family is still not strong at the moment and is too weak to take revenge on them. So, I want to…""No, that's not what you want." Renee could guess his request and immediately interrupted him. "We can't rush if we want to take revenge. Plus, this concerns our family. We can discuss it between us. And our family is still weak. We'll do it once we get stronger."She knew Quinton hoped to get the B
