Chapter 1764

Author: Mizuki Sei
Renee's unusual behavior had ruined Xavier's plan. Helpless, Xavier chose to be frank with her. "At first, I wanted to use a trick to make him appear, but it seems like it's hard to fool you. It might not be that easy to fool him either, so... let's just forget it!" He shook his head and watched the rain slow down, then stop. Sighing, he turned to Renee. "It's late, let's go home. Lei is worried sick about you, and is hoping you'll come back soon."

Renee frowned hesitantly. "I don't want to go back just yet… My messed up mental state will only trouble you all."

"Where will you go then? Do you plan on running from reality for the rest of your life?" Xavier had heard from Leia that Renee was depressed and wanted to be alone, and as her friend, it worried him.

"There are some things you don't understand..." Renee didn't know how to explain her thoughts to Xavier. Carefully, she said, "Wounded animals will run away to heal on their own when they're hurt… It's the same with me. Don't wo

    Renee was worried that there might be a misunderstanding or that Briar had used some tricks to get her way, so she was desperate to find Stefan for clarification. She spoke to a lot of people and searched many places, but it always ended with disappointment. She was exhausted physically and mentally. "I'm so tired, and my whole body is aching from going around looking for him. I don't care if he doesn't want to be with me anymore, I just want to see him and know that he's okay… but he never appears. I don't know if he's hiding somewhere and watching me make a fool of myself and get hurt over and over again, but even your lousy ploy couldn't force him to come out. So yes, of course I'm upset. Is this what you call sacrifice and love?" Renee demanded hysterically, helpless and agitated. She looked like she was losing her mind."Umm..." Xavier looked hesitant as he tried to comfort Renee. "Renee, calm down. I really don't think it's that simple. If Stefan is alive, he's probably going th

    Xavier paused, frowning thoughtfully. "You know, it does seem possible. Is Stefan hiding because he's no longer a true man? After all, he jumped off such a high mountain. What if a branch or something hurt his private parts? That might be the only reason a man would give up his beloved woman."Renee rolled her eyes in exasperation. "If I were Stefan, I would poison you so you wouldn't be able to speak anymore.""I'm being serious! Sometimes the truth can be crazy!" Xavier rubbed his chin and said seriously, "I have to look into this.""And just how do you plan to do that?" "I'll get my men to look into all the fertility clinics in Beach City, especially the ones near that village. I might find some clues then." Xavier took out his phone to contact his men. Renee sighed deeply. "What a crazy man!" Based on Renee's understanding of Stefan, the most he would do is break up with her if he couldn't have kids, he wouldn't pretend to be dead and keep hiding like this. Xavier firmly bel

    "Is that... Jeffrey?" Renee looked up at the bright and handsome youth in surprise, then sighed. "I guess the kid who always wore shorts and played with dirt finally grew up.""Hi, Renee!" Jeffrey Joyner smiled shyly, his eyes sparkling. "I thought I would never see you again!""Jeffrey!" Ava glared at Jeffrey. "Ren is happy and healthy, so why wouldn't you see her? Ignore him, Ren, he hasn't seen much of the world past this fishing village, so he's not that good with words. He's always admired you since he was a kid, and still has that group photo with you at home. He's always wanted to see you, but is too nervous to.""Mom, you're embarrassing me!" Jeffrey mumbled, covering his red face."What's there to be shy about? Ren is practically family, so why are you acting like a stranger?" Ava looked like she was about to whack Jeffrey, but Renee quickly stopped her. "It's okay, I understand. Jeffrey is all grown up now, so it's normal for him to feel shy." Jeffrey was a young man wh

    Renee took the coconut from Jeffrey and sipped the coconut water, and the refreshing, sweet taste was like rain in the desert. She looked up and saw the sunrise lighting up the vast sea, and felt a happiness she hadn't in a long time. It was little things like this that brought color to people's lives, and at that moment, Renee finally felt her stress melt away.Jeffrey brought Renee to his house, which was a typical two-storey house. It was built near the sea and had been renovated two years ago. There were various kinds of flowers growing in the yard. "Renee, we managed to renovate the house last year because of your support. Dad and Mom made a room for you to thank you... I'll take you there," Jeffrey enthusiastically explained.Feeling touched, Renee went upstairs with him. There was a large room facing the sea on the second floor with many shells and beads hanging on the door, and it looked like an urban style from the 1980s or 1990s. Ava and her family had painstakingly decorat

    Renee sat in the egg hammock in front of the window and watched the world gradually brighten. Surprisingly, she felt sleepy, which was a feeling that had evaded her for a long time. Soon, her eyelids slowly closed and she fell into a deep sleep."Renee! Renee!" After some time, Renee heard Jeffrey's voice. She opened her eyes and saw him standing before her, holding a tray with a grand seafood feast on it.Renee woke up and stretched, feeling relaxed. She hadn't felt like this in a long time. "Wow, it smells so good. Did you make this?" Renee looked at the delicious spread. "Yeah, they're not too hard to make. I don't know whether you'll like it or not…" Jeffrey pointed at a bowl of steaming porridge. "Eat this seafood porridge while it's hot. I added in a lot of nutritious ingredients which are good for your health." He had noticed Renee's pale and sallow face, so he had made her their village's secret seafood porridge to help her get back her energy,"Okay, thank you." Renee too

    "What's the matter, Renee?" Jeffrey had never heard Renee curse before.However, Renee ignored him as she peered at her phone screen closely. She was pretty sure that she had seen Stefan like her post just now, maybe out of accident or for some other reason. However, it had only lasted for a second before he canceled it. Hope burned in her, and she suddenly felt alive again. That meant that Stefan was still alive, and he'd been watching her. After calming herself down, she texted Stefan.[Where are you? I saw you liked my post. Can't you say it to my face? Stop hiding like a tortoise!]A few minutes went by, but there was no response. [I'm very grateful to you for everything you've done for me. I know the disgusting things you did behind my back too, but it isn't important. I just want you to come back and explain everything to me, okay? We love each other. Are you trying to drive me mad? I can date someone else too as long as you make it clear to me. I'll leave and won't trouble

    "Well, there's no point in trying to force him out to give you an answer. You should use some tricks to lure him out instead." Jeffrey racked his brain to come up with ways for Renee because he did not want to see her sad. "What kind of tricks?" Renee looked up at him. She always felt that she was an amateur in romance. She didn't know how to flirt or seduce someone—she was usually just straightforward and honest… which was probably why she always ended up hurt and disappointed. After so many years, Stefan was the only man she had loved. All her other experiences were failures. "In relationships, exclusivity is always a must. Everyone wants to be the one and only for their partner, and if there's a third person in the relationship, things will get messy. Anyone who gets cheated on will surely go mad and do irrational things," Jeffrey said slowly. It was the kind of romance he understood at his age. "So?" Renee asked, still baffled. She had to admit that she was a fool in romance.

    Without any warning, Renee kissed Jeffrey, then raised her phone and snapped a photo of them. Speechless, Jeffrey blushed a bright red.After taking the photo, Renee patted his cheek. "I'm sorry, dude. It was a rather impulsive decision. I didn't scare you, right? I'll buy some candies for you later.""What... are you guys doing?" A trembling voice came from the door. Renee turned around and saw a young woman with a round face staring at them in disbelief. "Daisy, when did you come? Why didn't you knock?" Jeffrey looked at the young woman in displeasure. This was such a special moment for him, and all he wanted was to be alone with Renee. Having another person around ruined the atmosphere. Daisy Lewis was gaping in shock, and she glared at Renee viciously. "Who are you, you wicked woman? What are you doing at Jeffrey's house? You... You even did such a perverted thing with Jeff! You'll get pregnant. I'm going to tell Mrs. Joyner!" "Pregnant?" Renee was amused by Daisy's words

    "Do you want to leave?" Stefan saw Renee. He was calm, indifferent, and distant. His behavior stung Renee. Renee could easily recall their lovey-dovey memories. They had both risked their lives for each other and vowed to be together forever. They had two children, too. Yet, they ended up as strangers.Although Renee was heartbroken, she became competitive. She smoothed her hair and said in a similarly cold manner, "I'm going to the washroom." "Okay." Stefan did not have anything to say. He nodded and walked past Renee before heading to the dining table. "Hmph! I didn't expect you to come so boldly," Quinton sneered.At the sight of Stefan, Quinton subconsciously clenched his fists, acting like he was about to fight Stefan. On the surface, he wouldn't act aggressively because he knew Renee would stop him. "It's not easy for the few great families to get together. It's good and meaningful for us. If I refused to come, it would make me seem heartless."Stefan kept his co

    Having said that, Renee lowered her head, about to leave. She didn't even have the time to bother about Adie and Abby, and told Quinton to take them home later. Her strange behavior filled Quinton with displeasure. He blocked Renee and said solemnly, "Are you afraid? Do you want to run away? People might think that you're guilty and have cheated on your husband!""No, I'm not!" Renee refuted him loudly, then explained seriously, "I'm busy. I need to handle something right away. Plus, I'm not guilty. I did nothing wrong. There's no reason for me to feel guilty." Quinton went straight to the point. "What are you afraid of since you know you're not guilty? Why do you want to run away? He should be afraid instead!""I told you. I'm not afraid of him. I'm just…" "What?" Quinton crossed his arms and looked at Renee coldly. He wanted to get to the bottom of it.Renee came up with a ridiculous yet normal excuse. "I… I recalled that the dessert shop that I want to head to is about to

    Jovan called Stefan to sound the latter out. Anyway, it would be convenient for Stefan to rush over since they were both at the same spot. "I'll be right there," Stefan said. Then, he hung up.For a moment, silence washed over everyone, as if something terrible was about to happen.After taking in the new information, Leia said indignantly, "What's going on? Why does he want to come? Isn't he too shameless? How dare he come?" Although everything wasn't discussed openly, everyone knew why Stefan and Renee broke up all of a sudden, despite how lovey-dovey they were. The reason was that Stefan had cheated on Renee.Even if the adultery was faked, it was still the cause of their breakup. If Stefan were shameful or guilty, he wouldn't have agreed to come. He was going to face Renee there with their friends and family around. Certainly, it was embarrassing. "Hmph! Why not? He impersonated me, seized my business, and snatched away my woman. Plus, he led a steady life, got married

    Jovan's words made the atmosphere quiet and bizarre. "Are you out of your mind, Jovan? It's already very annoying to have someone like you here. Do you have to get another annoying guy?" Leia frowned, crossing her arms. She kept scolding him.Initially, the atmosphere was considered harmonious. It was still considered fine even if there was an annoying person like Jovan. Unexpectedly, he wanted to call another, more terrible person to come here. Things would certainly go wrong. "Ms. Osborne, you're famous for talking harshly, too. You're just like me. I love it." However, Jovan was not mad at all. He grinned while waiting for Stefan to answer the call. Generally, Stefan would not answer Jovan's call. Surprisingly, he picked it up that time."What's the matter?" Jovan purposely put it on speaker mode. Stefan sounded aloof and emotionless.Jovan sounded wicked as he calmly asked Stefan, "Do you want to join a gathering, Stefan?""I'm going to hang up if you don't say anythi

    In the past, Jovan had always regarded Stefan as a coward. Stefan couldn't forget about Renee, but he kept pushing Renee to another man. It seemed like Justin was more responsible, considerate, and gentle. Of course, Renee would lead a very happy, steady, and comfortable life with such a man. At the very least, Jovan felt that he could not be that meticulous and considerate. He would only drive Renee mad just to get her attention. "Hmph! Are you trying to humiliate me or yourself?" Justin didn't find that a compliment. Instead, it sounded like smockery. Jovan made it sound like Justin was a nice guy, but would not be picked by Renee. Usually, people like that had to suffer and would not end up well."I'm praising you." Jovan was helpless because of his reputation as the villain. Although he had said a lot of annoying things, he did want to compliment Justin. His love was probably as deep as Justin's, but his and Stefan's ways of loving Renee were much inferior to Justin's.

    "That's unnecessary." Justin stood in front of Renee, his face cold. He said firmly, "She's unwell and can't have wine." "Is she unwell? I didn't see that." Jovan sized Renee up before he sized Justin up. Then, he sneered, "And who are you to her? You can't stop her from having wine.""It's none of your business who I am to her. I said she can't have wine." Justin always kept peace with others, but at that moment, he was dominant. He didn't always want to control Renee, but she had drunk a lot of wine that day. It might have hurt her belly. Hence, he felt it better for her to abstain from wine lately. However, Jovan was unaware of that affair. He simply found Justin purposely showing his ownership over Renee, which disgusted him."Waiter, get her a glass of milk. She only wants that," Justin instructed a waiter, showing his consideration for Renee. "It's okay. I can have a little wine. Plus, I'm rather good at drinking. It's not easy for everyone to get together tonight. I do

    They danced for around ten minutes. Renee danced to the song heartily. Her initial gloomy mood also improved.Renee drank some water and took a few deep breaths. Then, she sincerely praised Leia, "Alright. Your welcome ceremony is bizarre, but it helped relieve my stress. I like it very much!"She could tell that Leia had painstakingly prepared that gift for her. After all, it was not easy to ask the Zambawi people from primitive tribes to sing an English song. "I'm glad you like it. I did this because I wanted you to relax and stop taking things seriously. You need to stop being so hard on yourself and get rid of all the pressure!" Leia said honestly. The Zambawi hand-drum dance came with the charms of a primitive dance. Its goal was to set people free. Of course, it was suitable for Renee to relieve her stress."Yeah, your stress is relieved. From now on, you'll start afresh. This is for you. I'm sure it'll be one of your happy memories." Liam handed the previous Polaroid to

    "This is your welcome ceremony. This hand-drum dance is to help eliminate bad luck." Leia held Renee's arm, satisfied with her arrangement. She said happily, "Listen to their song! It's a great song!""Is there a song?" Renee frowned; she felt that Leia was always doing bizarre things. She wondered how Leia could come up with such a preposterous welcome ceremony."Mm, listen carefully! It's English. You can understand it." At that point, Leia said to the Zambawi people, "Put on your microphone. And sing louder."The Zambawi people gave their cooperation. They used their typical Zambawi singing to sing the English song. While listening to the song, Renee found it very familiar. "The flowers will bloom in spring, and the birds are free. I'm still waiting, waiting for my love to come back. Hurry home!""Isn't that Spring Flowers by Curtis Harrett?" Renee finally recalled what song it was. It was a song with a happy beat. It could make people happy. The Zambawi people made th

    "I don't know, either. All I ever remember from when I was young is that I led a very painful life. I once tried my best to make the Garcia family accept me. I did all the dirty and tiring jobs. I went out to work at an early age to get money for them. I also did all the house chores. "But my foster parents were never nice to me. They would always beat me up or scold me. My elder foster brother also saw me as an eyesore. He always tried to get me killed…" Quinton calmly described his past. He no longer seemed to be in pain. All that was left in him was numbness, as if he were talking about someone else.However, Renee was always in pain whenever she heard him talk about his past. She felt like she had returned to his past with him and experienced those painful things. It was normal for her to feel that way because they were twins. A lot of their thoughts and feelings were synchronized. "I suddenly recalled that I would inexplicably become gloomy many times when I was young. I
