Regret soon consumed Stefan after the divorce. He never expected that his boring ex-wife would move on overnight, and be living her best life. Not only did a young heir of an influential family claim to be her underling, but a famous celebrity confessed to being her fan as well. Even one of the wealthiest people in the country referred to her as their senior…‘I don’t care how strong your background is, Renee Everheart. I’ll make sure to tear down your walls!’ With that, the second son of the Hunt family set out to protect the woman in secret. Stefan: “My ex-wife is so fragile that she can’t even stand on her own two feet, you mustn’t take advantage of her.”To which everyone replied, “Who would dare to mess with her? She’d rip our heads off if we ever get into a minor disagreement!”Stefan: “My ex-wife is far too naive, you shouldn’t toy with her feelings.” And yet people would say, “I’m sorry? We’ve never seen a naive woman act so unapologetically!”Stefan: “Come, darling. Let me introduce you to this powerful figure!”To which the powerful figure responded with a deep bow, “No, no, she’s the boss around these parts! I hope you accept my sincerest admiration!”Since then, Stefan has had to live a double life. He was an almighty CEO during the day, but come night time, he’d be sobbing on his knees, hoping to win Renee’s heart back.
View MoreThe person who spoke was none other than Xavier, who had just arrived from the other manor. Leia was also there, having rushed over after she heard the news, as well as Justin, who refused to leave, and Jeffrey, who was always cautious of the people surrounding Renee.Renee turned around and saw them standing there. She sighed helplessly and complained, "You're all so clingy!" She wanted to have some fun with the children alone, but these people followed her everywhere she went. Now, they were even insisting on joining this simple game."You look great, Ren! You have no idea how much I missed you when you were away. I couldn't even sleep..." At first glance, Leia could tell that Renee had changed a lot. The depressing aura surrounding her was gone, and she was back to her usual spirited self. Delighted, Leia rushed over and hugged Renee tightly, sobbing, "Welcome home, bestie!""Thank you for forgiving me!" Renee hugged Leia and patted her shoulders reassuringly. "Anyone else would
After that, Xavier left the manor and chose to head to Everheart Manor. Even after Xavier scolded him, Stefan still behaved like a nocturnal animal that lurked in the dark. He neither went out nor prepared himself to meet Renee, and just sat there gloomily for a long time. Finally, he stood up and picked up the high-power binoculars on the table, then pointed it at Everheart Manor through the thick curtains. His bedroom was facing the backyard of Everheart Manor and Renee's bedroom. He saw Renee having fun with Adie and Abby in the yard, and his heart ached. Her new eyes looked nice, and he was happy she could see again, even if they weren't as beautiful as her old eyes. She could play with the children and take care of them well now. Jovan could be quite extreme sometimes, but he had done a good thing for Renee. Because of that, Stefan would give them his sincere blessings if Jovan did win Renee over. The backyard of Everheart Manor was large with lush grass and plenty of flowers.
If Stefan lived near Renee, he could at least watch Renee secretly. It was as if they were still together but in a different way."Of course I care about someone a lot," Xavier protested, immediately bringing up Leia. "Don't I care about Leia? You know how shameless I am just to get close to her. Back then, didn't I do everything for Shirley too? Did I give up? I'm bolder than you in my love affairs. Don't you agree?" Xavier felt that Stefan could doubt his morality, capabilities, and even looks, but he couldn't doubt Xavier's feelings. "Although we didn't have dramatic pasts like you and Renee, our feelings were real, and we faced the same challenges. We're just not as crazy as the two of you!""So?" Stefan stared at Xavier icily. "Are you both a couple? Are you closer to her than before?""Umm..." Xavier seemed to shrink, and looked away awkwardly. Stefan was right in a sense—all Xavier's attempts at a relationship were failures. At first, he had loved Shirley madly, but he then g
Stefan's expression didn't change and he was quiet for a while. Finally, he asked, "Do you have a needle and string?""No?" Xavier looked confused. "Why are you asking?" "I want to sew your lips shut," Stefan said casually, then stood up and walked towards the kitchen. "Actually, a knife will do too. I can cut off your tongue and solve this problem forever.""Stefan, no! I know you're upset that your masculinity is on the line, but don't implicate the innocent! The medical field is very advanced now, and I'm sure a good doctor can cure it." Xavier babbled nervously, picking up a pillow and using it like a shield.Stefan glared at him. "Why would you assume there's something wrong with me?""It was just a guess!" Xavier argued, "If there's nothing wrong with you in that aspect, why did you suddenly go missing? And you even watch them constantly. If you weren't handsome, people would call you a pervert." Recently, both Xavier and Renee had almost lost their minds searching for Stef
Meanwhile, Stefan stared at the computer screen in a manor not far from Everheart Manor. He read the email he had just clicked on and frowned, his gaze cold but also somewhat sad."Don't come back for the rest of your life if you don't want to?" Xavier sipped his coffee as he leaned over Stefan's shoulder to read the email. He chuckled when he saw who the sender was. "I'm sure Adie didn't write this. It sounds so angry… I'm sure it's Renee.""I don't need your analysis. I'm not stupid," Stefan growled icily. He had been living next door to Everheart Manor recently, watching the house secretly. He had emailed Adie to reassure the two children, and they had been keeping in touch, so he knew how his son wrote emails. He didn't need Xavier to point out the obvious. "Stefan, why do you insist on hiding from everyone?" Xavier could not bear to see Stefan this dispirited, and tried to persuade him. "You should talk it out with Renee so you can resolve this conflict. If you keep acting lik
"Mommy, why are you saying that? Did you argue with Daddy again? Did something happen to him? Why are you so sure that he won't be back?" Adie's gaze was sharp as he asked Renee."Umm..." Renee stalled, not knowing how to explain it. Adie squinted at Renee and said slowly, "You must have argued with Daddy. Daddy's probably scared of coming home and facing your anger, right?"Renee sighed deeply, and confessed, "I do want to argue with him… but the problem is that I never saw him again after he left. How can I argue with him?" It was weird. They used to be madly in love with each other, and Stefan was even willing to give up Hunt Enterprise and his life for her, but why did he no longer want to see her? Adie might be right—Stefan might have figured that Renee was aware of his disloyalty and was afraid of her anger, so he was too scared to meet her. "Mommy, ask yourself this—if Daddy appears before you now, will you be happy or mad? Will you welcome him with a hug, or will you slap
Renee followed Adie to the bedroom on the second floor quickly.Adie smoothly turned on the computer and opened his email inbox, ponting at a recent email excitedly. "This is the email I just got from Daddy. He asked Abby and me to be good and listen to you, and said he'll be back after settling his things." Renee stared at the email with mixed feelings. After taking a deep breath, she leaned towards the screen and read the email. It was roughly what Adie had said—Stefan had told the children that he was safe, asked them to be good, and told them not to anger Renee. He also promised that he would be back soon. The email had been sent from Stefan's private email.Both Adie and Abby didn't know what was going on between Renee and Stefan, and were just happy at the thought of having a family reunion. They hugged Renee. "Mommy, I knew that you and Daddy must have left suddenly because of something. We can be a happy family again soon!" Renee felt uneasy, and touched their faces, sayi
"Abby!" Renee turned around, and when she saw her daughter, her heart warmed. She carried Abby in her arms. "Yes, it's me. I'm sorry, baby… I was away for a long time. Did you miss me?" Abby looked tense when Renee picked her up, and she shook her head. "You're not Mommy. Mommy's eyes are black, and she can't see.""Umm, well..." Renee smiled in amusement, then blinked and said, "I've changed my eyes, and now I can see you, Abby. What do you think? Do you like my new eyes?" "Are you really my mommy?" Abby looked doubtful. Abby was still young and naive, so when Renee looked different from what Abby was familiar with, she became suspicious. "Yes, touch me if you don't believe me. Don't I look the same?" Renee put Abby's hand on her cheek.At first, Abby was cautious as she tentatively touched Renee's face. However, the moment she felt Renee's skin, the little girl's eyes lit up in joy. "Yes, you're Mommy! Only Mommy has such smooth and soft skin..." She held Renee's arm and sobb
Renee looked ahead silently, then sighed and said firmly, "Let's go home." Previously, she'd been gloomy and depressed, and she didn't want her mood to affect the children if she went home. However, the ocean seemed to have cleansed her of all those bad emotions, and she had finally come to her senses and regained the confidence to face her family and friends."Are you feeling more like yourself now?" Justin asked with a smile. Renee was different now—she was like a warrior who had found her armor. It had been a while since Justin had seen her like this, and he was genuinely happy for her."I am." Renee nodded."I'm glad to hear that. Well, people... can get a little crazy sometimes, but it's alright as long as you know how to get your groove back. Welcome back, Phoenix!" Then, Justin stepped on the pedal and sped onto the highway. After around half a day, the car finally reached Everheart Manor. Renee got out of the car, feeling melancholic. Her house was just as she remembered
