Chapter 2048

Author: Mizuki Sei
Timothy loomed over Stefan, his tone solemn. "Don't just sit there! Give me your hand. I'll teach you a lesson!"

Stefan was silent as he put the cutlery down. He extended his hand, not a trace of resistance in him. "It's all my fault. Punish me as you see fit, Grandpa."

Renee was flabbergasted. She wondered why Stefan was so submissive, even more so than Adie when the boy was punished. Stefan could easily defend himself; in fact, he could simply leave. Timothy wouldn't be able to do a thing to

    "Well…"Renee hesitated for a moment. Seeing how well the kids and Margaret were getting along, she finally agreed. "Alright then. We'll leave quietly, just like in Farewell to Combridge. Quietly as we came."She and Stefan got back into the car. The moon in the sky up ahead did make this feel a little romantic.After everything that had happened that day, Renee was exhausted. Somehow, she ended up leaning against the window and falling asleep.She didn't know how much time had passed before she opened her eyes again and realized the car had stopped, but they weren't at Everheart Manor."Where are we?"She looked around and instantly tensed up."The beach," Stefan answered calmly."Oh. The beach."Oddly enough, the answer didn't surprise her at all. In fact, it felt reasonable. It was like she'd returned to where she truly belonged.She could hear the sound of rolling waves outside the car. With the window rolled down, the occasional gusts of ocean breeze somehow made her f

    The two of them wasted no time and sped all the way to the small countryside house where Margaret was staying.After Renee revamped the area, far fewer strangers came seeking 'treatment,' so the place had become much quieter.Even before entering the yard, they could already hear the kids' cheerful laughter drifting from inside."Whew! Thank goodness!"Renee and Stefan looked at each other. Tears shimmered in Renee's eyes. They were tears of relief, the kind that came after unbearable tension suddenly melted away.Her two precious kids, along with Joanne, were safe after all."I told you those two little troublemakers are smart. They usually won't get themselves into real danger. Stop stressing yourself out so much in the future."Stefan slipped an arm around Renee's shoulders. His heart ached for how much she worried as a mother."Listen to you talking. Weren't you exactly the same? Whose face went pale and looked ready to blow up the entire planet?"Renee raised a brow and s

    At such a close distance, it was as though they could feel each other's heartbeat through the thin fabric of their clothes. Their warm breaths mixed in the air, making the atmosphere not only intimate, but heated."Ahem! It's so hot in here!"Renee tugged at her shirt and tried to let in a bit of cool air. She had on a light blue dress that accentuated her figure so well it could easily make one's imagination run wild."I-I'll go turn on the AC."Stefan stood up. His voice was unnaturally hoarse.He wanted to slap himself twice. How could he let his thoughts wander at a time like this?"There's no need to. Finding the kids is more important. Let's figure out where they went first."Compared to him, Renee stayed much calmer. Aside from feeling a little awkward, all of her attention remained fixed on the surveillance footage.Eventually, she vaguely heard the kids discussing going to visit Margaret.In the video, Abby and Adie talked about how much they missed Margaret. Joanne i

    The two of them entered the bedroom. The familiar environment made Stefan feel as though he had stepped into his own room, and his gaze instinctively wandered around.As expected, the first thing he noticed was the antique painting by Henry Somerset hanging on the wall.His heart clenched instantly.That's because he had seen that painting before. In fact, he was still very young at the time."This painting…"Stefan walked up to it and examined it carefully. There was a troubled expression on his face."What's wrong? Don't tell me you've seen this painting too?" While booting up the computer, Renee glanced back curiously at him."It's an original by Henry Somerset. It's not strange that I've seen it before," Stefan answered vaguely before adding in a probing tone, "Since when were you interested in things like this? I remember you used to look down on antiques and paintings like these. You said they were only valuable because of nostalgia and hype."He still remembered when the

    "What? The kids are missing?"Stefan frowned. His expression instantly turned grim.Just like Renee, the children were his weak spot. He could stay calm about almost anything else, but the moment the kids were involved, all reason went out the window."I got tied up with something unexpected today. I naively thought maybe since Joanne was acting normal again, it'd be fine to let her pick up the kids. When I got home…"Renee crouched on the floor. She bit her lip as her body trembled uncontrollably with fear.The old Renee had feared nothing. She used to be the freest, boldest woman in the world. But ever since becoming a mother, she had become timid. Every decision was made cautiously. The slightest hint of trouble would make her panic. She had become an ordinary woman and an ordinary mother."You…"Stefan's first instinct was to blame her. Just like Quinton, he believed Joanne was far too unstable, and that the kids should never have been left in her care. However, seeing h

    When Renee arrived at Everheart Manor, the entire house was dark. There was nobody inside."Joanne! Abby! Adie!"Renee instantly went on high alert. She quickly checked everywhere inside and out while calling out their names.The only thing that answered her was silence.That kind of silence had never existed before. Normally, before she even stepped through the door, her two kids would already be bouncing around waiting to greet her.That meant Joanne and the kids definitely weren't home. Where could they have gone?At this hour, they couldn't still be out playing.Renee took a deep breath to calm herself. With a trembling hand, she retrieved her phone and dialed Joanne's number.Unfortunately, it was the same silence in Everheart Manor that responded to her.At that moment, panic completely took over. She didn't dare call Quinton because he had repeatedly warned her not to let Joanne bring the kids out alone.Now, something had actually gone wrong. Quinton would kill her if

    Amber helped Liam to sit down before serving him water and rubbing his neck. She was full of anxiety.Mateo angrily gulped down a glass of wine, but the wine was so strong that he began coughing vigorously. It suffocated him. After helping Liam to settle down, Amber turned and glanced at Mateo, w

    Leia looked at her brother curiously as she held the ointment. "Stop asking about that. You're so talkative now. If I knew, I wouldn't have let you come or told you about my upcoming marriage. You never stop talking!" Liam pushed Leia away disdainfully, but in truth, he just didn't want to see her w

    Renee and Leia started arguing with each other in front of Lucas and his lackey, saying a lot of fierce things to each other."Hey, this is interesting!"Lucas kept clapping as he listened. "Just now, you guys risked your lives for each other. But now, you've fallen out. I knew it! Human nature is com

    Joanne looked at the test paper on the table and was silent for a long time. Then, she said thoughtfully, "Instead of making him be my study buddy, I hoped to see his past self. Isn't it ridiculous?"In the past, she liked Quinton very much. She liked the man the TV station would interview because he
