Renee stood before the windows while she tried her best to adjust the angle of the telescope, acting as if she was a spy focused on her mission. Everyone had a tendency to snoop at some point, and it should be fine if she snooped on the legendary Stefan Hunt himself.The man was currently sitting before his desk, reading through the document in his hands thoroughly. His defined, charming features were perfectly sculpted, making him look like he belonged on the front cover of a magazine."Ugh, just look at how serious he's pretending to be. I refuse to believe you won't yawn or pick your nose in private!" Renee scoffed cheekily as she stayed in the same position for quite some time, hoping to capture a glimpse of Stefan's uglier side.After a short while, Stefan received a call and got up, walking over to his windows with a cup of coffee in his hand."Shit!" Renee ducked immediately, worried that she would be caught red-handed. From what she knew of the man, he was a complete narcis
Finally, the only people left in the room were Renee and Stefan."What the heck? What does he mean by 'many children'?" Renee turned to Stefan in alarm.'Could he have found out about Abby and Adie's existence? If he has, there's going to be a battle soon. This is war!'She knew that this wasn't the right time to go against the Hunt family, which was why she still felt somewhat uneasy. However, if it was bound to happen, she would not go down without a fight either. 'No one… And I mean no one can take Abby and Adie away from me!'"There's no one around, so drop the act. I know about our child," Stefan said nonchalantly.Renee clenched her fists, still pretending to be aloof. "What child? I don't understand. If you want babies to continue your bloodline so badly, just spread the news and pick a girl with the best genes! Aren't you being a little ridiculous by clinging to your ex-wife like this?!"Stefan stared at Renee, pausing before he gave her a cryptic smile. "I thought you
Stefan's threats made Renee feel more alarmed, and she wondered if he had noticed any discrepancies in her denial. However, since he hadn't made it clear that this was the case, she didn't want to question him any further either.Just as the man was about to leave, Renee's eyes landed on the box which contained the Rainbow Glaze. "Wait."Stefan's tall figure halted, anticipation in his eyes but his voice cold as he turned back to her. "What is it? Have you changed your mind?"Renee couldn't help but roll her eyes. 'This man is so self-absorbed!'"You've misunderstood. I just wanted you to take this back with you—I don't need it anymore." The woman pushed the box towards him with a cold expression.Stefan looked visibly upset, and his aura was so menacing that anyone around him would get chills. He scoffed, "You don't need it anymore?""Actually, I just don't want to owe you any favors. This thing seems pretty valuable, so if I were to take it, we'd only be making things harder to
Renee thought to herself, 'Isn't Stefan Hunt the most cocky and heartless person? How could he possibly have this many thoughts hidden away?'"Stefan, you're… you're joking, right? Or have you been drinking? Is this the alcohol talking?" She knew how low the man's alcohol tolerance was, so it was still a possibility that this was the case. The woman refused to believe that he would ever hold such deep love for her, especially considering their terrible past relationship with each other, and the fact that she had seen his sheer ruthlessness.The woman's question was just like a bucket of water, extinguishing all of Stefan's burning passion. Instantly, his rationality returned, and the longing in his eyes was quickly replaced with hostility. Stefan then let go of her hands and sneered, "Renee Everheart, is your heart made of stone? You really are the cruelest, most dense woman I have ever met!""Hey, don't try to pin the blame on me. You should know which of us is truly the cruelest
At night, Renee headed back to her apartment with the Rainbow Glaze. The place was rather lively, with Mr. Q playing with the children. There was even a hearty dinner left on the dining table just for her."What brings you here?" Renee asked casually as she closed the door. Compared to before, she was no longer against being around this man. Sometimes, she would even feel relieved to find him in her house when she returned."Didn't I tell you? I'm now your husband and the father of your two children, so I'm obligated to take care of you. It's my responsibility to make sure you come back to a warm meal and to keep the kids company," Mr. Q explained as he continued playing 'red light, green light' with the children.He didn't sound like he was joking at all and seemed to be truly genuine in everything he said."Yeah, Mommy! We're a family, so of course we're living together. Let me tell you a secret… Daddy Q picked us up from school today! Our classmates were so jealous that we had a
Mr. Q calmly described the situation as if he was an outsider in the scenario. Despite having lost the battle, he didn't seem to hold any resentment at all, and graciously accepted his defeat."You're kidding, right? How is that possible?" Renee was certain that Mr. Q was lying on purpose, all for the sake of toying with her."I'd believe it if you said the relic had historical value, but I refuse to believe that it can cure all diseases! This is real life, not some fantasy movie! If you keep bluffing, this thing is going to reveal its true form as a god or something!""You can choose to not believe me, but it is the truth. Stefan Hunt handed you something that he needs to survive, which means that he literally put his life in your hands. I'm sure he asked for something in return." Mr. Q raised an eyebrow questioningly."He didn't ask for much. He… he probably felt like he owed me too much, so he gave this to me… to make himself feel better about himself." Renee stammered, trying t
Mr. Q placed his hands together and replied, "If Stefan really were to fight you for custody, what do you think your biggest disadvantage would be?""I don't think I have any disadvantages." Renee seemed cocky, replying coldly. "I raised both of them, that's a big enough advantage. He has nothing against me.""If it was someone else, they might not be able to win against you, but this man is Stefan Hunt. He has Hunt Enterprise behind his back. As long as they wish it, both the court and the public would surely favor them without questions. If you don't have a perfect plan to counter his attacks, you might just lose horribly."Renee clenched her fists, looking slightly depressed. "What would be a perfect plan, then?""Back to my previous question. If Stefan were to fight for custody, I think your biggest disadvantage would be the environment you could provide for the children, not your financial status or education level…"Renee shook her head, visibly confused. "I don't get it."
Moments later, Renee realized the only solution really was to give the children a father, so that they could be a complete family. She thought, 'Do I really have to try it out with Mr. Q and get married to him?'The next day, Renee decided to return the Rainbow Glaze to Stefan after giving it some thought.Mr. Q had described the item as some kind of fantasy tool that had healing abilities, and she found it bizarre. However, now that she knew about it, she couldn't bring herself to feign ignorance. She would never forgive herself if Stefan's condition worsened without this relic.Renee checked her watch and noticed it was ten in the morning, which was during work hours, so Stefan was probably busy in Hunt Enterprise at the time. She still had no idea how to face the man after his confession, so she wanted to visit Hunt Manor during these hours to avoid him.Timothy was watering his plants at that moment. He soon noticed the maid bringing Renee over to him, which brought a bright sm
