Renee was clearly hinting at something. Seraphina wasn't stupid, so she saw what Renee was implying right away. "I know things were difficult when you and Stef split. You had been banished from the Hunts and had nowhere to go." Seraphina let down her guard and sympathized with Renee."When it comes to vying for Stef's heart, no one can beat that lady. She managed to persuade Stef to defend her with only her innocent expression. It made me furious to watch him pamper her like a baby!" Seraphina felt enraged as she talked, and she couldn't help but smack the steering wheel angrily.Briar was, without a doubt, the lady she was referring to. Renee's previous life had been a living nightmare because of her!"It's pointless to be angry. Your closest buddy likes ladies that seem naive. Instead of battling me, learn her methods and appear to be fragile and weak. It would be ideal if you could discover a way to get pregnant with his kid since he would then have no option but to marry you.
Renee was a bit taken aback. She had done extensive research and had discovered that the property was owned by Rubio.However, according to him, it belonged to someone else."Since the boss' identity is unique, he is unable to seize control of the property using his own name. Fortunately, the Pascal family has the financial means to purchase the property, so I helped him with it. On the surface, it seems that I am in command of the land, but I do not make the decisions. Additionally, it wasn't me that wanted the Rainbow Glaze, but him."Rubio purposely reminded her, “I'm warning you now—we can’t afford to offend the boss. Don’t try and do anything under his watch.”"I want to meet the person who can make you call them 'boss.' I'm not concerned about regaining ownership of the land. I just want to meet him," she said excitedly. She was like a lively child eager to start a new game.She wasn't really pleased to see Rubio since she felt he was rather plain. However, now that she knew
“Ah, it's Daddy Q, and he's come to play with us! Let me go open the door!" Abigail's rosy cheeks were the colour of apples as she grinned and rushed towards the door."Daddy Q, you've arrived. We missed-" She opened the door while standing on tiptoe, and the smile died on her face when she realized the tall and attractive guy standing outside the door wasn't Mr. Q. "Wow, uncle, you're quite handsome," she said adoringly. "Are you lost? Who are you searching for?"Stefan looked down at Abigail standing there adorably. "Excuse me, does Renee live here?" His icy stare softened involuntarily."Handsome Uncle, why are you searching for my Mommy?" Abigail was naive, and spoke bluntly.Stefan's eyes widened slightly when he heard this. "Your Mommy?"“Yes. Renee is my Mommy. She is still working, so you'll have to wait a bit if you want to meet her!"Abigail liked Stefan instinctively, and pulled him into the house by grabbing his large hand with her small, pudgy fingers.When she noti
"Come with me, Abby!"Aiden glared at Stefan, then took his sister's hand and led her into the study."What is it, Adie? It's not polite to leave the handsome man out there all by himself! We should spend more time with him."Abigail stared impatiently out into the living room, gazing at Stefan, sitting on the couch, wishing she could always cling to the man.But Aiden swiftly slammed the door shut and, with a stern expression, scolded his sister, "You silly girl! Still can't recognize who that man is?""What do you mean, Adie? Do you know that handsome man?""So you really can't recognize him. Fine, I'll show you a picture…"Aiden picked up his phone and browsed through it for ages, punctuated by periodical "ums" and "ahhs" before finally tapping on Renee and Stefan's wedding photo."Ah, he's our Bad Daddy!" Abigail covered her mouth with her hand. Her eyes widened with shock, looking as big and juicy as grapes. She had always known that their Bad Daddy was very handsome, but
Stefan remained calm and completely unruffled. He eyed Margaret up and down with a cold gaze that bathed him with an oppressive aura."Are you… Renee's nanny?"He had an inkling of a memory of what Margaret was like. He remembered how Margaret used to like matching him up with Renee in the past. He wondered why she would suddenly change so dramatically and become so hostile to him that she even wanted to chase him away with a knife.Margaret's eyes oozed with animosity towards Stefan. She glared viciously at him, and with a kitchen knife in her hand, she sarcastically taunted, "I can't believe the noble and haughty Mr. Stefan Hunt would remember an old woman like me! Well, in that case, you must know full well that there is a mortal grudge between us. What gave you the audacity to step into this house yourself? Are you plotting something evil?""I'll give you three seconds," she continued. "Get out of this house, or I'll give you a taste of my kitchen knife!"Margaret feared that
"That's impossible, Margaret! Handsome Uncle is a good guy! He gave us these tomatoes. I tasted them, and they were very sweet! I ate so many just now! Try them yourself, Aunt Margaret! Once you've tried them, you'll know that Handsome Uncle can't be a bad guy!"Then, like a nimble little cat, Abigail slipped through Margaret's fingers and ran from behind her towards the basket of tomatoes, picking one up and offering it to Margaret with bright, innocent eyes."You're such a silly girl, Abby! Bad guys don't have the words "bad guy" written on their faces so you could tell them apart from the others! Don't you remember the story of Little Red Riding Hood that I told you about? The big gray wolf pretended to be her grandma and tricked her into trusting him; that's how she ended up getting eaten by the wolf… That man is just like the big gray wolf! You must always keep your eyes open and use reason to distinguish the bad from the good, and you must stay away from him, understood?"Marg
The twins ran happily towards the kitchen, and from then on, Stefan could hear the clanging of kitchen utensils emerging from the kitchen mixed with the sound of children laughing.Stefan walked around the house as if he was back in his own home. After a while, he headed towards the kitchen and asked the twins, who were mixing a batter. "Do you need any help?"Abigail gazed at Stefan sweetly, her eyes sparkling as brightly as stars in the sky. "Do you know how to cook, Handsome Uncle?"The sight of Abigail made Stefan feel as if his heart was soaked in sugary syrup. He smiled without realizing it, then shook his head and replied, "I never knew how to cook. It's too trivial and such a waste of time. It's the kind of thing best left to the servants.""But it won't be the same!" argued Abigail. "The servants are not your family members, so the food they make won't taste as good…"Abigail was a bona fide foodie, so she had high expectations for the food she ate. To her, good food not
And just like that, the twins successfully baked a cake for Stefan, which they then presented before him."Handsome Uncle," Abigail called with a sweet smile. "This is your first time visiting our house, so we specially made this cake for you to welcome you here. You must eat the whole cake! You don't want to waste our efforts, do you?""No problem," Stefan promised. "I have a bit of a sweet tooth anyway."He then took a spoonful of the cake along with the icing and put it in his mouth. It was sweet, fluffy, and creamy—every bit as heavenly as a cake made by a professional bakery. He continued to eat mouthful after mouthful, finding himself enjoying more with every bite.But then, the more he ate, the heavier his eyelids felt, until eventually, his whole body slumped onto the couch…-After leaving Azure Group, Renee headed towards Celestial Pavillion by following the address given to her by Rubio. The place was one of the most exclusive restaurants in Beach City, where the food
