"You had a brother?" Stefan was a little surprised. This was the first time he'd heard that Renee actually had a twin brother who didn't survive."Hmph! If my brother were still alive, he'd have beaten you up long ago. You're only bullying me because you think I have nobody at home to depend on!" Renee couldn't resist condemning Stefan again.Oftentimes, the marriage quality of a woman was greatly correlated with their family situation.If her family was powerful and could help her husband's family in a particular way, her in-laws wouldn't dare look down on her. Even if her husband didn't spoil her rotten, they would at least treat each other with respect. She'd still have a healthy sense of ego.That explained why Renee was treated so unkindly in the Hunt family back then. Even the maids walked all over her. It wasn't because Stefan didn't love her. Instead, it was because she had nobody to rely on, and her family wasn't powerful enough to support her."I'm not that vain. Back th
"Back then, I did find you pitiful. You seemed as fragile as the flower on your ear. A gentle breeze could easily make you wither. After getting divorced, your personality changed completely. One couldn't even associate the word 'weak' with you. I was definitely overthinking, though." Although Stefan knew about how much Renee had changed after their divorce, he still couldn't quite process it.He couldn't figure out how the same person could have two completely different states of being!However, it didn't matter whether she was 'weak' or 'tough'; she was still able to easily influence his emotions.Renee smiled and looked at Stefan with a complicated expression on her face. "I never knew you were so kind and generous. If that's the case… Why don't you go all the way and set us free? Let my children and I live our lives in peace."Stefan's gaze turned gloomy. "Do you really think I'm bothering you and the kids by being close to you?""Don't you think so? Can't you tell that neithe
Stefan left after he finished speaking.Renee stayed in the garden on her own. She stood under the moonlight and got lost in thought while she gazed at the field of sunflowers.Truth be told, Renee did consider doing exactly as he said.Although Stefan's words were unpleasant, he was speaking the truth when he said no other man would treat her children better than their biological father.Like every other mother, Renee wanted the best for her children.If she and Stefan got back together, her children would be happier. Perhaps, she could give it a try.But what about Mr. Q? She promised she would marry him in a week!"Ahh. This is so annoying!" Renee felt increasingly annoyed. She ruffled her hair and cursed herself for being a tramp. She was two-timing her fiance.Feeling conflicted, she returned to the bedroom. She tossed and turned all night long, and she barely slept.By the time she woke up the next day, it was already noon."Crap!"With warm sunlight shining against he
"I didn't know how to cook in the past, but I took it up. Now, I can cook," Stefan said."You actually took lessons for this? You sure have a lot of time on your hands.""How could you say that? Cooking for someone you like brings a lot of joy. I thought you'd have known…" Stefan smiled vaguely. "I heard you never even cooked before marrying me. Didn't you train yourself to be a good cook because of me?""Who said that? It's not true," Renee refuted unconvincingly.If she claimed to be the kind who wouldn't even enter the kitchen, nobody would dare to question her.She was very different from ordinary girls from a very young age. She didn't like dolls, pretty dresses, and playing with dollhouses. Most of all, she disliked going into the kitchen. On the contrary, she enjoyed fighting, guns, coding, and physical chemistry.If it weren't for her attempt to become a 'qualified' wife in the Hunt family, she would never have even stepped into the kitchen. Her only goal in life was to
The two children woke up early. They had already gone around the Hunt Villa.They adapted much better than Renee expected they would. Despite being in a completely unfamiliar environment, they were able to feel happy and at ease. Evidently, they behaved as if they owned the place."What are you two doing? Why didn't you wake me up?" Renee asked.She realized they were standing on their tiptoes next to a yellow fruit tree while they looked up."Mommy, come here, quickly. Look, these four must be hungry. They keep chirping, and their mouths are wide open!" Abigail quickly ran over to Renee and tugged at her hand. She then pointed at the four fledglings in a nest. She seemed very worried.Chirp! Chirp!Four fledglings that recently hatched were chirping weakly in the nest.They were too small to even open their eyes. Their mouths were all open while they waited for their mother to feed them."They're probably hungry. Let's find them something to eat!" Renee couldn't help but empat
The longer Renee looked at these fledglings, the more she found them adorable. It's as if she was looking at her own children. Her motherly instincts were fully activated.She looked forward to the moment they took to the air once their feathers were fully developed in a month!"Renee, what are you feeding them with?" Stefan asked gently while he looked up at her from below."Huh?" Renee turned around when she heard his voice.Rays of sunlight that passed through gaps in the tree branches shone against his perfect face, casting a shadow behind him. He looked like the male lead from an anime. He was ridiculously good-looking."Daddy, we're feeding them caterpillars. They love it!" Abigail exclaimed with excitement. "Mommy caught these caterpillars with us…" She declared proudly."W-worms?" Stefan gulped. He felt goosebumps all over his scalp.Despite being fearless in general, he was terrified of soft, furry creatures, especially caterpillars. A single glance was enough to give h
"Am I going to be in trouble?" Renee laughed hysterically before wagging her finger at Stefan in a playful manner. "No, no. Stefan, you're the one who's going to be in trouble."After saying that, she picked up a black caterpillar and 'accidentally' dropped it. It happened to land on Stefan's collar."Ahh! It's disgusting. Quick, get it off!" Stefan instantly broke down. As if he was paralyzed, he stood still and didn't move an inch. He kept shouting."Oh, dear. I'm so sorry, Mr. Hunt. I accidentally dropped the insect…" Renee tried to hold her laughter. She climbed down the ladder and began 'consoling' the man who was about to go crazy."Don't worry. It won't hurt you. It's just wiggling around on your collar. It's exercising!" She added."Renee, remove this thing immediately, or you're dead!" Stefan warned with a gloomy expression on his face.Renee crossed her arms while she seemingly admired the state of 'helpless rage' he was in. "Mr. Hunt, you're still being so fierce. Didn
"If I were you, I'd wiggle a little bit even if I didn't know how to dance. If you manage to entertain us, we'll naturally help you by removing the insect!" Renee exclaimed."That's lame!" Stefan knew Renee was intentionally pulling a prank on him.Everyone knew that only guys at nightclubs would break dance. How could she ask someone like him to do it?'Forget it. There's no way I'm doing this!'Stefan closed his eyes. He decided to suppress the feelings of fear and disgust. He was going to remove the caterpillar on his collar by himself.Renee immediately stopped him. "Hey, don't touch it. It's poisonous. It'll hurt if it stings you!"That was why she snapped a branch off the tree. She was going to remove the caterpillar with the branch."You're lying to me again!" Stefan no longer believed in what Renee said. After taking a deep breath, he tried reaching for the caterpillar."Damn. This thing really does sting. It hurts!" As soon as he touched the caterpillar, he began screa
