"But I want to..." Xavier hesitated while looking at Renee, looking very pitiful."You want to play video games, right? You can't!"Renee's attitude was firm, like a disciplinary teacher."Hmph, whatever!"His hopes crushed, Xavier angrily covered his head with the blanket and went to sleep.The way he was fierce but scared at the same time was kinda cute.When he heard that they were leaving, he quickly pulled down the blanket and asked, "Renee, you said you're going to take care of me. Is that true?""Of course." Renee did not hesitate. “You saved my life. Isn't it natural for me to take care of you?"But let me make this clear. I'm not a very patient woman. If you keep being difficult and refuse to cooperate like you did earlier, I can't promise I won't beat you up!”"There's no need to worry. As long as you're the one taking care of me, I'll definitely cooperate."Xavier went back to sleep.Christopher watched all this with a somewhat complicated expression."Mr. Jacobs
Christopher and Xavier immediately stopped talking, both looking guilty.“Bro, why didn't you knock before you came in? That's really rude!"Stefan's handsome face was expressionless, like an iceberg. He walked up to Xavier, knocked on the hung up plastered foot, and asked, "Does it still hurt?"Xavier's face immediately crumpled as he cried out in pain, "Ouch, ouch, ouch! Bro, are you trying to kill me? I sacrificed my life to save your ex-wife. Is this how you repay me?""You seem to be in high spirits. Looks like you're completely fine. In that case, stop telling everybody that you saved her.”Stefan's voice was cold, as if he did not want to accept the fact that Xavier had saved Renee's life.After all, the status of life savior carried a lot of weight. In ancient times, the rescued victim may even repay the savior with personal favors. Stefan felt very unhappy thinking about it."That's right!" Christopher chimed in, "This brat even wants her to take care of his everyday ne
Xavier gulped hard and quickly said, "There are professional employees in the hospital that can care for me. You guys are busy. You really don't have to do this.""I'm serious. You saved her, so I must do something for you to repay you. You're not allowed to refuse!" Stefan's attitude was firm. He urged, "Open your mouth and drink the soup!"Xavier had no choice but to give in.Before he had finished the first spoonful, Stefan was already feeding him another. In the end, Xavier was so full that he felt like his stomach was gonna burst.Oh god, what sin had he committed to deserve this? He saved someone's life and even broke his leg doing so, but he now had to be a tool in those two's argument. He felt like the most miserable man in the world!When Renee saw that he had finished the soup, she immediately brought out an apple, peeled it with a knife, and handed it to him. "Having some fruit after dinner is good for digestion."Stefan urged again, "Eat the fruit."Xavier was speech
After Renee left the hospital, she was still furious.“He's so annoying! What is wrong with him? He's so worried that I would ruin his precious friend's life. He's totally looking down on me!”She took a taxi back to the Hunt Villa.Margaret was already there. She was rubbing her hands anxiously.When she finally saw Renee, she immediately rushed over. "Ms. Ren, what's going on? How did Everheart Manor burn down while I was out doing grocery? Why did you ask me to wait for you at the Hunt Villa?”The tears she had been holding back came pouring out when Renee saw Margaret.Like a child, she threw herself into Margaret's arms and cried, "Margaret, what took you so long? Our house is gone! Our home is gone!""Don't cry, Ms. Ren. Don't cry!" Margaret gently stroked Renee's back and comforted her, "Don't be sad. Our home will never be gone. Home is where you and I are. So what if the house burned down? We can just rebuild it. Don't cry!""It's all gone..." Renee bawled her eyes out
Renee’s voice was flat, and her attitude was far from polite. She looked like she was ready for a fight.She was not the old Renee anymore. She did not have to be considerate of Francine's feelings now. If Francine dared to make a scene, she would definitely retaliate!However, to Renee's astonishment, Francine actually smiled at her warmly."Can't I just come to see how my daughter-in-law is doing? I don't really need a specific reason to come here.”"Huh?"Renee's eyes widened, and her jaw dropped.Did Francine hit her head or something? She had always just called Renee the harbinger of tragedy and she had never been kind to her, yet today...Margaret said happily, "Ms. Ren, Madam Francine is so kind. She even brought you a gift. Do you want to open it and have a look?""Uhh, I..."Before Renee could respond, Margaret had already opened the beautifully packed present."Wow, it's a sapphire necklace. It's so beautiful! It must be really expensive!"Margaret was just like a
Francine felt that, since she had humbled herself considerably to make this suggestion, Renee would surely be grateful and agree to it.After all, not long ago, she would do anything just to remain in the Hunt family...Renee did not respond. She merely laughed so hard that she had tears in her eyes.She never knew that the high and mighty Francine Milford had so much talent as a comedian. Renee simply could not stop laughing!Francine was a bit unhappy. She finally could not keep up the pretense anymore. Her tone was impolite as she asked, "Why are you laughing? Give me an answer! Let me tell you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, it's gone. Don't be ungrateful!"Renee fought back the laughter. Her curved eyes gradually turned cold. She replied equally impolitely, “Madam Francine, I thought I'd made it clear to you. I never thought of going back after I dumped your son. Even if your son kneels and begs me, the possibility is still zero. And I sure as hell
Renee could never have imagined that, one day, her ex-mother-in-law and her nanny would be on the same side, scheming to make her get back together with her scumbag ex-husband.Renee could not stand it anymore. She went to the kitchen and brought out a lemon pie to relieve her craving.As soon as the pie was placed on the table, the fragrance spread. Francine could smell it too."That smells good! Did you make that?"Francine could not help being attracted to the smell.She went to the dining room and was surprised to see the lemon pie on the dining table."Do you want a piece?"Renee had already cut a piece for herself and was ready to dig in.She had been craving sour food lately due to her pregnancy. She could not wait to start eating.Francine looked apprehensive, but she took a piece anyway.After taking a bite, her eyes immediately tripled in size."Did... did you really make this? It's so good!"She no longer cared that she was a lady of a rich family. She could hard
"Your daughter-in-law?"A playful expression crept onto Haze's handsome face.So the well-dressed woman in front of him was Francine Milford, Renee's former mother-in-law."As far as I know, Ms. Everheart is currently single. It's a bit inappropriate for you to claim to be her mother-in-law like this.""What do you know?"Francine raised her chin high and said, "If she's my daughter-in-law for a day, she's my daughter-in-law for a lifetime. Until the day she remarries, no one can replace my position as the “mother-in-law”."Haze put his hands in his pockets and chuckled. “In that case, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I'm actually here to take Ms. Everheart to meet my parents. If everything goes well, she'll have a new mother-in-law soon."Francine already had an impending sense of crisis before this, but after hearing what Haze said, the sense of crisis became even stronger. She immediately interrogated him, "Who are you? Who are your parents? What's your relationship with Re
