“Mommy said that a real man is like a superhero who is kind and protects the weak. But the son you brought up bullies a woman just because he's physically stronger. Doesn't that mean your education is a failure?”Aiden crossed his arms and drilled Francine with the tough question.In his opinion, Bad Daddy was bad because his mother did not educate him well. Now that Aiden had a chance to meet the woman in question, he must seek justice for his mother.“He bullied a woman?”Francine frowned and expressed her disbelief, "My son is a gentleman. I've only seen him help women before. He would never bully a woman. There must be a misunderstanding.”“There's no misunderstanding. My brother and I saw it with our own eyes!”Abigail pouted behind Aiden and exclaimed with righteous indignation, "Bad Daddy climbed on top of Mommy and pressed his body on hers. If we hadn't arrived in time, he would have bitten her!”The little girl vividly remembered the image she saw when she and Aiden pus
“Yup, you children are right. I failed to educate him properly as his mother. I can't believe I raised a giant iceberg who has no idea what being considerate means.”Francine pinched Stefan on the arm while admonishing him.However, her son's arm muscles were so firm that her fingers could not get a good grip, so she ended up slapping him hard on the back instead.Stefan was dumbfounded. He pointed at his head and told Aiden and Abigail, "Kids, come here. This old lady has a bit of a problem here. She might hurt you by accident.”“No, the fairy godmother is a good person. You're the bad guy. You bullied Mommy! We're not on your side!”Although Abigail was charmed by Stefan's good looks, she was still able to distinguish between good and bad. She defected on the spot and stood behind Francine like a good girl.“That's right. Your Mommy is a good person, while you're the bad guy. I agree that your Mommy should punish you and teach you a lesson!”Aiden chose Francine’s side too, wh
“Umm...”Seeing the thick cane, Francine and Stefan could not help but gulp.“Isn't this cane a bit too thick?” Francine asked Aiden cautiously.Although she had already decided to sell her son out to get in her grandchildren's good books, she had never beaten Stefan before, and now she had to beat him with such a thick cane? She could not do it.“It's not. This is just a normal cane. Mommy said caning is good for building character. The harder you hit, the better the person's character would turn out. Your son is bullying the weak now because you didn't cane him enough when he was young.Aiden tried to convince Francine with logic and reasoning.Francine stared at the thick cane and frowned. She rubbed the little boy's head and asked, "You mean your Mommy hits you with this a lot?”“No.” Aiden said seriously, "Mommy just uses it to intimidate me. She rarely beats me. She said other people's children get caned with this, but I don't because I'm a good boy and I never do anything
The current Renee was no longer someone he could control. She had no intention of joining the Hunt family. This made him very frustrated.“I'm asking who the children's mother is. Why won't you answer the question?”Francine started speculating, "Let me guess which family she's from. She must be from one of the eight major families, right?”“Is it Seraphina? You two have been close since you were young. I knew it was only a matter of time before you two got together. That's great news! Both our families have been waiting for this day for a long time!”“It's not her!” Stefan denied it. "Seraphina and I are just buddies.”“Then it must be your first love. What's her name again?... Cecilia Smith, right? She comes from a rather average background, but at least her family isn't a shady family. She's acceptable as your match.”Stefan couldn't help but chuckle. "Mom, you're so picky...”“Who else can it be? I can count on one hand the number of women you have a relationship with. It ca
This time, Francine was not faking it. The cane struck Stefan with a loud crack.“Ouch!”Stefan could not remain stoic anymore. He complained, "You're doing it for real?! Stop!”“Of course I'm doing it for real. If I don't teach you a tough lesson, you'll make the same mistakes again in the future. My precious grandchildren won't be able to see our sincerity either... So just grit your teeth and endure it. Also, you should groan once in a while to make the kids sympathize with you.”Francine gave out thoughtful advice while whipping Stefan.“Makes sense.”Stefan agreed with Francine's plan. He started groaning and screaming.“Ah, it hurts!”“Ah, I've learned my lesson!”“Ah, I'm gonna die if you keep hitting me!”Children were naive and innocent, so as long as he kept acting pitiful, they would forgive him in no time.However... Renee was not a child, and she was extremely clever, so this trick would definitely not work on her!Renee finished making lunch and brought the de
Renee stood next to Aiden and Abigail. She stared at Stefan and Francine with a puzzled expression for a while before asking weakly, “What are you doing?”“The bad guy's mommy is teaching him a lesson so that he wouldn't bully you again. I think... she wasn't hitting him hard enough. They look a bit like they're acting.”Aiden remarked expressionlessly.“No way! Bad Daddy cried really miserably just now. He seemed to be in real pain. It didn't look like an act to me,” Abigail pouted and retorted foolishly.Seeing his proud son stop cooperating even when she kept hitting him, Francine could only give up and think of another solution.“My dear daughter-in-law, I heard this brat bullied you, so I gave him a hard beating, but I don't think it's enough punishment, so take this cane and let out any anger or resentment you have. I promise he won't dodge or retaliate!”She stuffed the cane in Renee's hand.“Isn't this... a little inappropriate?”Renee looked at the thick cane in her ha
They sat at the dining table, waiting for Renee's answer.Stefan did not stop Francine, which was as good as agreeing to Francine's proposal.As long as Renee was willing to reconcile, he was willing to pay any price.“I don't have any requests. Well, maybe just one...”Renee paused for a second before continuing with determination in her eyes, "I hope you can clearly recognize that the two children belong to me alone. Their family name is Everheart, and they have nothing to do with the Hunt family. Don't even think of touching them, or I'll fight you to the death!”Her stance was still the same as before. It was firm, with no room for negotiation.“In your dreams!”Stefan pursed his thin lips, his handsome face filled with uncontrollable anger.This woman was so obstinate and unreasonable. He really wanted to tie her up and tame away her stubbornness like she was a wild cat.In contrast, Francine was calm.After a moment of silence, she slapped the table and said, "I underst
“That's enough!”Stefan stood up coldly, turned to Renee, and threw out these threatening words, "If you want to come back, bring the children with you. The Hunt family will treat you well. If you insist on going against the Hunt family, I'll do everything in my power to stop you!”After that, he went upstairs expressionlessly.Obviously, Francine was open-minded, but Stefan was still a very arrogant man.How could he accept marrying into a woman's family? How could he let his children take another family name?Renee actually heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Stefan lose his temper.If Stefan had actually agreed to Francine's proposal, Renee would have no idea what she should do.It's not like she could lash out at them for being considerate of her!She would much rather fight him fair and square. At least, if she lost, she would be able to accept it.“See how upset your son is? I don't think he wants to be with me at all. Please stop it with the pointless matchmaking...”
