Chapter 1914

Author: Mizuki Sei
"We can't do anything about it anyway." Quinton sighed deeply. He could tell that Tiffany's family was strange, especially Damon. But even so, they were just outsiders. The most they could do was pity Tiffany. "You're not Tiffany's guardian, so the most you could do is advise Damon, but it's his business how he wants to raise his child. You can't meddle in that." Quinton frowned and continued, "You'd better worry about your child instead. I think something's wrong with Adie. He seems to be going through something he doesn't want to tell us about. Why don't you try to talk to him?"

"Yeah, I noticed that too." Renee forced herself to look away from Tiffany. "That boy is distancing himself from me. I was planning to talk to him anyway."

"Do it well. Don't let your anger get in the way and don't threaten to beat him up. He looks strong, but is actually quite fragile and sensitive. You can't be too harsh with him," Quinton instructed Renee. Many parents felt that they could be rough with

    Renee arrived at Adie's wards with those doubts in her mind. Leia and Abby were in the ward with Adie, but Adie was lying in bed listlessly without interacting with them much. He also seemed more aloof with Abby. Abby tried to hold his hand a few times, but he shook her hand off. "Adie, why are you sad? Just smile—you look the best when you smile. Can you smile?" Abby wasn't upset even though Adie ignored her. She tried to make funny faces at him to make him laugh."I told you I don't want to. You're annoying. Get lost!" Adie looked more unhappy and pushed Abby away. Renee happened to see that scene when she opened the door, and immediately shouted at Adie, "What are you doing, Adie? You're her elder brother!" She walked to Abby and hugged Abby, trying to pacify her. "Are you hurt? It's okay, I'm here now." "No, I'm not." Abby shook her head and whispered, "Adie is just playing. I'm sure he's scared because someone bullied him, that's why he's not smiling." "I'm not scared!"

    Adie's expression became pitiful when he heard that, and he shook his head. "No, I'm not. I like you the most, Mommy. You're the best in the world. I won't be mad at you no matter what happens.""Then, why didn't you want to come back? You've always been very sensible, so you should have known that everyone was worried about you, right?" Renee asked in frustration. She didn't mind him being naughty sometimes or having his own opinions, but he shouldn't play around with his life or trouble people who loved him."I didn't come back because I thought that maybe… you didn't want me to!" Adie finally admitted. "I'm sure you love Abby and Daddy more than me, and I'm not that important to you either. You won't be sad even if I'm gone.""What are you talking about, Adie?" Renee asked in surprise, not expecting her open-minded son to be so delicate. "You're my child. Of course, I love you. I would risk my life for you!" The one thing that mattered most to her was her children's safety. Her c

    Renee sincerely apologized to Adie, hoping he would give her another chance. "You know, this is my first time being a mom, so I'm quite inexperienced. If you think I'm wrong, you should tell me, and I'll try to rectify it.""Mommy, don't do this..." Adie got scared seeing Renee being so gentle with him. "You're not acting like yourself. It's like you're possessed…" Renee was stunned, and she tried to suppress her urge to grab a feather duster and hit him. She forced a smile onto her face. "What do you mean? It's still me… but gentler. I'm usually very tender but I've got to be strict sometimes so you both will listen to me. Since you don't think that's good, I'll be sweeter to you. What do you think? Is a gentle mommy the kind of mommy you like?" Her whole face was stiff trying to maintain her smile. She hoped she could be the kind of mother Adie wanted."No, Mommy, please act normal. I was wrong to ask for too much—your past self was already good," Adie begged. Renee was never thi

    "W-What did you say?" Renee's smile immediately disappeared, and her expression turned fierce. "I'm not sure I heard you. Be clear.""Mommy, you said you wouldn't get mad or hit me." Adie knew Renee was about to lose her temper, and calmly continued, "If you're mad, I'll stop. You can hit me too if you want, you don't have to hold yourself back.""Hey, no. I'm not mad!" Renee touched Adie's head forcefully, almost hurting him. She gritted her teeth and said, "I promised that I wouldn't get mad. I won't break my promise!""Okay!" Adie nodded and started explaining his plan. "Honestly, I'm not happy here in Beach City. I loved the free life we lived on Sun Island. I miss the ocean, the beach, the manta ray I fed, and my mysterious small house… Beach City is so boring, and the kindergarten is so childish. I've already learned the entire elementary school syllabus, and everything is so boring. What's the difference between staying in a classroom every day and going to jail?" Adie had wa

    It was not the first time Adie had wanted to return to Sun Island. He had seriously considered the pros and cons of living there, and felt like it wouldn't be too difficult at all. "I can buy the things I want at the market, and if I really miss being around people, I'll come back on a plane. But I don't really like crowds." Although he could get along with people, he preferred being alone. It took so much effort to socialize, and it wasn't even fun at all. He preferred being in a quiet environment doing whatever he wanted to do, which was why he was best friends with Tiffany."Do you want to go back there?" Renee asked hesitantly. Since Adie had considered a lot of things, it was clear that this was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. "It's possible for you to go back there."Adie's eyes lit up. "Really? Are you willing to let me go back to Sun Island?" Adie didn't expect to get Renee's approval at all—in fact, he had been prepared to get beaten up by her."Yeah!" Renee nodded casua

    Sadness overwhelmed Renee. Quinton was a dignified and powerful man who hated expressing his emotions. He had been separated from his real family from a young age, and was forced to live in an abusive and oppressive family after that. He had never experienced family warmth, not to mention the charms of love. After he started living with them, he became more optimistic and calm. He had just begun facing his feelings and connecting with other people, but now, they would leave him alone again… The thought of it broke Renee's heart."Nothing's been decided yet. Kids change their minds all the time, so we might not go at all," Renee said casually, trying to lighten the atmosphere."But Adie isn't like that. I'm sure he's thought it through. You don't have to console me, I'm just..." After a pause, Quinton forced a gentle smile onto his face. "I just want to prepare myself. After all, you and the kids are the family I never knew I had. I've gotten used to being around you." Quinton was inf

    "You can't think like that." Quinton rested his hands on Renee's shoulders, and said dotingly, "Just let me handle things like this. You have to lead a happy life with Adie and Abby. I'll earn money, get revenge, and revive our family.""I can't let you do everything, that would be selfish. We should do this together!" Renee said agitatedly, her eyes watery. She was too impulsive. She had only thought about her happiness and had forgotten about her responsibilities. To live a good life, she needed to take revenge and rebuild her family."I'm the one at fault here. I brought this up just when you made up your mind to leave, and it feels like I'm guilt-tripping you. Listen to me—just go live on the island with the kids and stay away from all of these conflicts. The further you are from this place, the less affected you'll be by that heartless man!" Quinton regretted bringing up their family honor. He was reluctant to part with her, but he felt like he had broken Renee's wings by forcin

    Quinton jerked back, his eyes wide in indignation. "You're being rude. How could you make fun of me like this? Why should I get a girlfriend?""Calm down, Quinton. We're of the same age, but I've got two kids now. Isn't it normal for you to have a girlfriend by now? It's simple biology," Renee said cheekily, trying to persuade him. If Quinton found a lover, he wouldn't be so lonely, and she would feel reassured even if she and the kids decided to move back to Sun Island one day. "Nonsense! I refuse to get married or have children. I have no interest in women," Quinton scoffed. He had never considered such a thing over the years, and the only woman he had ever loved was Joanne. "You're not interested in women?" Renee raised her brows and thought about it, then nodded wisely. "So, you like men."Quinton stared at his sister, speechless. When had he said that? His sister might be the only person alive brave enough to insinuate that the infamous Night Demon liked men. "It's okay—yo

    Then, Stefan calmly placed the crab leg on the plate in front of Leia. Leia was flabbergasted. She did not dare to move. She wondered what he was doing, and if he wanted to sacrifice her."Why aren't you eating it?" Stefan looked at Leia, sounding composed. Yet, he was full of the dominance that could burn anyone.Leia swallowed and gnashed her teeth, asking Stefan, "How could you peel the crab for me? Isn't it inappropriate?" She was the most cowardly person. Usually, she looked fierce and indignant as if she wanted to punish Stefan severely. But when he came to her and looked at her, she would be very frightened. She would not dare to do anything."Why not? Someone said women shouldn't peel the prawns or crabs themselves. I'm just being a gentleman. It's nothing serious. It's just peeling the crab!" Stefan said. It was rare to see him speak so much. It was incompatible with his contradictory identity. However, it was clear that he was mocking Justin and saying how ridiculo

    Both Stefan and Justin mocked each other, which made the atmosphere more awkward. Although Liam and Leia were simply watching the fun, they felt awkward, too. It made them restless.Renee was having a hard time, too. She smacked the table and said to Stefan and Justin, "You'd better stop eating. Go out and fight. The food got cold because of your endless fight."When she spoke, she sounded like a class teacher with absolute authority. Although both Stefan and Justin were dissatisfied, they fell silent and did not dare to say more. Everyone started enjoying the great food, but said nothing. It seemed a little gloomy.Renee was about to get a prawn, but Justin had already peeled it nicely for her. He dipped it in some sauce and put it in Renee's bowl. "I know you love prawns the best. I've peeled it for you. Of course, women can't peel the prawns themselves.""Oh, Mr. Baldwin. You're considerate. You're a role model among the men. Anyone who marries you will be very happy!" Le

    Justin smiled and described the children's experiences, acting like a stepfather. When he talked about the children, he made it sound like they were his biological children. Stefan didn't look so good. He felt that the glass of wine was getting bitter."Well, I'm sure kids will find everything new and exciting when they go to a new place. But they'll get bored with it when time passes. They'll love their real home better." Stefan had wanted to act relaxed and casual, but he could not stop himself from refuting when he heard Justin's provocative words. "Mm?" Leia sat beside Liam and leaned against his arm, and whispered, "What are they doing? This is weird. Are they going to fight?""It's just a competition between men. They won't get into a fight." Liam kept eating and watching the fun. He merely found it amusing. As expected, Renee was greatly admired. Although she remained silent, she would always be in the limelight. Liam was amused to see people like Stefan or Justin

    "How dare you!"Stefan's words instantly made Leia speechless. She had wanted to rebuke him, but he snatched the chance from her and struck her dumb.In short, he was an utter scumbag.After a moment, Leia finally managed to comment, "How shameless!" Justin had kept silent all the while. He looked at Stefan with a scrutinizing and mocking gaze. "Mr. Hunt, I admire your honesty and self-awareness. If that's the case, let's stop being reserved and have fun together!""Yes, let's have fun together. I'm shameless, too!" Liam joined in the effort to mock Stefan. He swayed his glass of wine and faked a smile. "I've known her a long time, so of course I know what shameless things Mr. Hunt has done. I think I'd better grab this chance to tell you all of them since everyone is here today."Standing at the door, Renee was worried that Liam might say more indecent things. She hurriedly stopped him. "Pipe down, Liam!" "Got it." Liam shrugged helplessly but obeyed her.Although he yea

    "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.
