Chapter 1816

Author: Mizuki Sei
Stefan instantly froze. His whole body grew tense, and his mind raced to figure out what he should say to her.

Unexpectedly, Renee just turned around and muttered something before she dozed off again.

"She's still drunk—she doesn't know it's you," Jamie said solemnly.

Stefan rolled his eyes and bent down to carry the unconscious Renee in his arms. "I'm not blind, I don't need you to tell me that." Brushing past Jamie, he snapped, "Excuse me."

Jamie hurriedly stepped aside, morosely watching Stefan leave. It felt like everything he did was wrong to Stefan. He didn't think he could get close to Renee from now on.

Stefan carried Renee upstairs, and she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck because her head was spinning. "Slow down, I'm going to fall," Renee whined as she nestled in his arms.

Stefan immediately slowed his pace, carefully climbing the stairs to his room. It was the room opposite Renee's bedroom, and though the lights were not on, it was illuminated by the m

    "What do I want?" Renee blinked slowly as she thought about it, then giggled. "I want to suffer. I want to face my karma and live a terrible life." Yeah, she would lead a leisurely life without Stefan—he was the reason her life was full of twists and turns. That was her karma, and she was always willing to accept it. "I... Listen. My former mother-in-law went to a fortune-teller who said that if Stefan and I got together, many bad things would happen to us. At first, I thought it was just superstition, but now it seems like the fortune-teller was right. I... I want to find that fortune-teller and see if I'll get married again."Stefan's eyes bulged and he blurted out, "No, you won't! That's just superstition, and it also depends on whether the couple can overcome the challenges given to them. Maybe it's not that you both aren't destined to be together, but… maybe he's just a piece of trash who doesn't deserve you." He hoped that it was because of him that they could not live happily

    "Of course!" Renee nodded and said seriously, "I'll go to the karaoke bar and hire eight male escorts. One of them will massage my shoulders while another will massage my legs. One will sing with me while the other will listen to me vent..."Stefan smiled in amusement. "Are you sure you can handle eight guys?" "Of course I can! I've been loyal to you all these years and have never tried anything with other men. I want to experience something nice and improve my life." Renee was a feminist at heart—she couldn't understand why men could flirt with other women after they got married but women had to stay loyal to their men. If men could have affairs, then so could women; that was what fairness was. "If you genuinely want to find someone you like, I'll give you my blessings. However, if you're just acting out of spite and want to find a man to take revenge on me, that's unnecessary." Stefan gently laid her on the bed and smoothed her hair tenderly. "You've got to love yourself more th

    The silence was deafening, and Renee inwardly counted the seconds as despair gripped her. She had lowered her pride just to get an answer, but he refused to even give her that… How cruel! Humiliated, Renee let go of Stefan's waist and smoothed her messy hair. She cleared her throat and asked coldly, "So, it's because of Briar, right?" She hadn't wanted to think of it, but that seemed like the only possible reason. He wouldn't be acting like this otherwise."Briar?" Stefan flinched in surprise, then fell silent. Finally, he asked, "She went to you?""Yes, she did!" Renee took a deep breath and wiped her face, deciding to be frank with him. "She came to me with intimate photos of you both, acting like she had won a prize as she showed them off. I don't hate her because I know everything happens for a reason, but I'm just curious. Why... would you do that?" Renee stared at Stefan's back, tears running down her cheeks."There's no reason." Stefan did not want to explain too much. If Ren

    Renee thought that Stefan would stay, but he just paused briefly before leaving. It was almost like he had never been there at all. Feeling drunk and dizzy, Renee just laid back on the bed, eventually falling asleep. She hoped that it had all just been a dream, but after avoiding this for so long, she knew it was time for her to face the cruel reality.The next morning brought good weather. Having slept well, Renee stretched, enjoying the morning sun on her face."Little girl, do you want breakfast? I made my best sandwiches." Jamie knocked on the door and called from outside the room. He had been rudely awakened by Stefan at five in the morning, who ordered him to take good care of Renee and make a delicious breakfast for her. Jamie had led a pampered life, but there he was in the kitchen at the break of dawn, doing his best so Renee could have a good meal. After some research, he finally decided to make vegetable sandwiches as they were convenient, fast, and nutritious. Renee got

    After breakfast, Renee bade Jamie goodbye and returned to Everheart Manor. All the people in the manor were anxiously waiting for her, and when she walked in, they all breathed a sigh of relief."Oh, thank goodness! Ren, where did you go last night?" Leia asked worriedly, looking Renee up and down. "I got drunk last night and went home, and when I came back today, they told me that you were missing. I nearly called the cops!" Renee slowly entered the manor and laid on the sofa, then said calmly, "I was fine. I just slept in my neighbor's house.""You slept in your neighbor's house?" The atmosphere immediately grew tense.Xavier walked over and asked tentatively, "Which neighbor? Is it the house... across from this?""Mm." Renee nodded and rubbed her aching head. "Ugh, hangovers are torture. I won't get drunk at night again." Her calmness was confusing everyone there."In that case, did you see... any special person?" Leia asked carefully. She figured that the scumbag, Stefan, wa

    Renee woke up early the next day. She put on light makeup, then drove Adie and Abby to kindergarten. The children would be taking graduation photos soon since it was almost their graduation.Adie and Abby's teacher was waiting there, and enthusiastically went to greet Renee. "Ms. Everheart, as you know, the kids will be graduating soon, so the kindergarten wants to give them a nice parting gift. We decided on taking family photos as graduation photos to strengthen the bond between the kids and their parents.""Sure, I support the idea." Renee nodded in agreement. The teacher nudged her glasses awkwardly. "Well, it's a family photo, so both parents have to be present for it. Adie and Abby are the only students who don't have both parents around, and I know it caused some issues during their registration here. We know Adie and Abby's situation is a bit special, but…" Renee frowned, feeling uneasy when she heard that. "Miss, my kids are just like every other kid out there. The only

    When Renee got back from the kindergarten, she started making preparations for Jeffrey's debut. She took Jeffrey to Xavier's company, and after the receptionist took down their information, they went to the reception room to wait for Xavier. It was the first time Jeffrey had been to the city, and he was curious about everything he saw. Though he was awed by a lot of it, it also made him feel insecure. "Renee, can I really do this?" Jeffrey stood in front of the large French window in the reception room, staring at his tanned skin, messy hair, and unsophisticated look dejectedly. "Yeah, it'll be fine." Renee stood up and patted Jeffrey's shoulders, looking at him dotingly as if he were her son. "Your look is very rare in the current entertainment circle, and I'm sure it'll win you lots of fans." There were many handsome celebrities on the market, but they were all too delicate. They were nice to look at, but there was nothing unique or magnetic about them. Jeffrey, however, looked l

    "You… want to work with Jeffrey?" Renee was taken aback. In her mind, Shirley had once been the top actress in the country, and she would never lower herself to work with an ordinary person unless there was something in it for her. Nonetheless, it would greatly benefit Jeffrey if he could work with Shirley—her fame would definitely get him attention. However, Renee was worried that Shirley wouldn't do her part to help him."Are you surprised?" Shirley sat opposite Renee and chuckled. "Aren't you confident in this novice you want to promote? Do you think he's not on my level?" When Jeffrey heard that, he ducked his head in shame, clenching his fists. Jeffrey had been a spirited and confident youth who had fearlessly roamed the seas, but here in this big city, he felt like a fish out of water. It was hard to adapt, and he often felt overwhelmed. "Of course not." Renee leaned against the chair and stared at Shirley intently. Shirley shifted uneasily. "Is there something on my face?

    "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
