“That may be true, but when you need a man, you need a man. For example, when I filled out the enrollment information just now, there was a column that asked for the name and occupation of the children's father. What are we supposed to write there?”The reason why Margaret started nagging Renee again was that she faced a dilemma when she filled out the enrollment information earlier.It made her realize that, be it Renee or the two children, they all needed a man in the house.“Just write “none”. There are plenty of people who lost their spouse or their father in this world, so why can't we be in that situation too?”Renee continued to paint, her mood not affected in the slightest.The moment she decided to divorce Stefan and leave Beach City for Sun Island, she had already anticipated these situations and had accepted them. She did not think it was a big deal.“We can't do that!” Margaret was a bit agitated. "Ms. Ren, you're too carefree. Nowadays, kindergarten teachers treat ch
“He's... he's dead?”Margaret was shocked. She struggled to process the sudden news.How could a person who had everything like him die just like that?!“Yes, he's dead. If I'm not wrong, he probably died because he tried to save me.”Renee spoke with difficulty, her expression heavy.Although Francine believed there was foul play in Stefan's death, Renee still felt responsible.If he didn't hurt his leg trying to save her, his life would not be in danger, and the people who wished to cause him harm would not have an opportunity to take advantage of.“For real?”Margaret found Renee's words hard to believe.Stefan was a heartless beast. He caused Renee a lot of pain. There's no way he would sacrifice himself to save Renee. There must be some sort of misunderstanding.“I'm not sure if it's true either, but from the information I gathered, I might not necessarily be the direct cause of his death, but I do have to bear some responsibility. I feel... a little sad.”Renee lowered
Renee felt much better after Margaret consoled her. She wiped away her tears and commanded herself to stop feeling depressed. She had to stand back up!For the first time in a long time, she slept soundly without any external assistance such as hypnosis or piano.When she woke up, it was already past seven o'clock in the morning.Today, she and Margaret were going to send Aiden and Abigail to the Monte Perry Kindergarten together.Because it was the first day and the two kids were transfer students, there would surely be a lot of procedures they had to go through.Renee decided to get there early.Therefore, she immediately got up from bed.The two kids also woke up one after another.While Renee was thinking about what healthy and delicious breakfast she should make for the kids, the doorbell rang.Renee opened the door and saw the errand runner from the other day.“Hello, Ms. Everheart. Your breakfast is here. Enjoy.”Before Renee could ask any questions, the errand runner
Abigail chewed the cake slowly like a kitten. Then, her big round eyes instantly enlarged and shone bright like stars in the sky. She said excitedly, "Wow, what a delicious cake! It's the most delicious cake I've ever had!”“Really?”Renee and Aiden exchanged glances. They were still afraid to taste the cake due to their trauma.“Adie, why don't you... give it a try too?”Aiden shook his head and said, "Mommy, of course I should let you go first. I'm a filial son after all.”Renee's smile was awkward. "Yes, you sure are.”She slowly picked up a slice of cake and licked it tentatively.Surprisingly, it did not taste as “exciting” as the previous breakfast. In fact, it was quite delicious.Renee quickly finished a slice and immediately started on a second one.Seeing that, Aiden also picked up a slice and tried it out.“It's good. Looks like that guy put in a lot of effort to improve. Not bad, not bad at all.”Aiden nodded while eating. His opinion of Mr. Q improved by ten poi
Margaret was not as confident as she appeared. She was also worried that the kids might not adapt well or that they would get laughed at for not having a father, but she had to remain calm.If she was anxious too, Miss Renee would become even more anxious.“Okay, I'll get back to work. I do have something important to take care of today.”Renee said goodbye to Margaret.Renee checked her watch. There was still half an hour left before the press conference Jovan mentioned.Major changes were coming to Beach City in half an hour. Many important figures would probably attend the press conference. Of course she would want to witness this special moment too.Renee drove straight to the five-star hotel where the press conference was held.Luxury cars lined up outside the hotel. Security was tight. Reporters crowded outside the cordon. Many influencers were there too, hoping the exposure would boost their popularity.Renee's red Ferrari was very eye-catching, to begin with. When she g
Renee became even more irritated. She roared at the reporters and influencers, "I already said I'm in a hurry. Are you all deaf? Get out of my way or I'll beat you up!”The reporters and influencers who were blocked outside the venue were all nobodies. They were an unscrupulous bunch who would do anything to get views. When they saw Renee lose her temper, they got even more excited. They kept testing her patience, hoping that she would lose control.Renee was surrounded. She couldn't move a single step. She clenched her fists and was ready to start beating people up.A Maybach slowly pulled up. A handsome man in a suit got out of the car, escorted by security guards.“Why are you guys bullying a weak woman like her? Come at me instead!”The man who spoke was none other than Jovan, the protagonist of today's press conference.“It's Jovan Hunt, the rising star in the business world!”“He's rumored to take over the Hunt Enterprise, which means he's about to replace Stefan Hunt as t
“Rumor has it that the two of them were in love first. It was Stefan who stole Renee away from Jovan. And now, Jovan Hunt has returned to take back his lover.”“In that case, maybe those two were involved in Stefan's death... Tsk tsk, wealthy families are so scary!”Renee could not be bothered by their speculation. She walked straight into the hotel lobby.The hotel decoration was grand and magnificent.There was a podium adorned with the Hunt Enterprise's logo. Various microphones with logos of television stations from around the world were placed on the podium. Reporters sat in chairs below the stage, while senior executives of Hunt Enterprise sat on the stage.Renee was not considered a senior executive of Hunt Enterprise, so she kept a low profile and chose a seat in the last row.The same could not be said for Jovan. As soon as he entered, he was the center of attention. He received a warm welcome from the audience.In addition to reporters, there were also representatives
“I was wondering who the person that has been constantly sniffing for my traces over the years was! That IP was like a virus. I intercepted it time and time again. So it was you... my savior.”Renee's red lips curled into a smile as she looked at her old friend.Who knew that there was still an old friend in the vast Beach City who still cared about her. She was touched.“You call me your savior, but you hid from me for four years, making me worry about you for four years. Is your heart made of stone?”Seeing the woman who had become more charming, more attractive, and more elusive than before, Xavier's emotions were complicated.After all, this was the woman who once made his heart race and the woman he risked his life to save. Even if it was impossible between them, she still held an important spot in his heart.Rather than saying that he and Stefan had searched almost every corner of the world for Renee all these years, it would be more appropriate to call it his personal obse
