Stefan looked at Renee, who was busy in the kitchen. It filled him with confusion. He got to his feet and walked to the kitchen. Curious, he asked, "What are you doing?"Renee was scared since she was attentive and busy doing something. She turned and glared at the man behind her. "You scared me! There's no sound when you walk." "What's in your hand?" When Renee turned around, Stefan instantly saw the thing in her hand. It looked like a lotus flower. "Oh, it's snow lotus herb." Renee swayed the herb in her hand and explained honestly, "You heard me. It's a very precious herb that's always shown on TV. It's found on top of snowy mountains and only blooms once every hundred years. Plus, it's very nutritious." "I've heard of that. It's tough to pick one. Plus, the ones you found on the market are usually fake." Stefan did not have much knowledge about herbs. All he knew were the ones he casually learned when Renee got poisoned the other day. Based on his little knowledge, he
Renee became worried. She went downstairs and walked to Stefan."Why are you coughing? Did you go to the hospital to see a doctor? It looks like you've been coughing for a while."During that time, she spent quite a lot of time with Stefan. It seemed like Stefan's health was worse than before. He looked very weak. Besides, he hadn't stopped coughing. Previously, he coughed occasionally, which could be ignored.But now, he had started coughing consistently. It was clear that there was something wrong with his body. It could not be ignored. "I'm fine. It's just a cold." Stefan waved and did not walk to talk about it. There was something wrong with his body after he started looking for the antidote for Renee. Although he would not die, he became weaker than before. He was no longer ambitious or high-spirited."I don't think it's as simple as that. Did you go to the hospital for a check-up?" Renee sat beside Stefan and knitted her brows. She could not hide her worry. "Yes, I di
Odette smiled helplessly and bitterly. She wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead. "So, I can't criticize them straightaway. After all, those kids did it willingly. There's nothing wrong here.""No, they're wrong," Renee said seriously to Odette, "My kids are different from ordinary kids. Perhaps it's related to the environment in which they grew up. They're rather self-centered, and they always go about in their own ways."The children grew up by the sea. They did not get in touch with people other than those on Sun Island before reaching four years old. Sun Island belonged to them. Hence, there were no rules on it. Renee also tried her best to let the children be themselves.Now, it seemed like she had overdone it. Consequently, the two children got the wrong idea and thought that the city was just like their island. They could do anything they wanted there. "I'll talk to them properly when they go home tonight. I'll help them get rid of this bad habit," Renee solemnly pr
"What? Something with their character?" Hearing that, Renee became flabbergasted. She felt that she knew the children well. She never expected something wrong with their characters, though there might be something wrong somewhere else.She knew that they were smart, sensible, and obedient. There would never be a problem with their character. "Calm down, please. It's not that they've done something wrong. I just feel that it's not very good for them to have such a character at their age." Odette shook her head and found that it was a pity for the children. Renee grabbed her clothes and became nervous. "Ms. Larsen, please don't scare me. What's wrong with their character?"Odette had purposely detained her and stressed the problem. Of course, it would not be something trivial. "In short… They're precocious. They can't be friends with other kids. The other kids will automatically admire them, so they treat everyone else as inferior and casually order the other kids around." Af
"Are you Adie and Abby's mother?" Odette was an experienced language teacher at the primary school. She wore a pair of glasses and looked quite friendly. But she was a strict teacher, too.Previously, Renee did not spend much effort while the children were studying at the primary school. She merely enrolled them in the best primary school in Beach City based on their age, Oak Elementary School.But after that, she either let Margaret or Quinton handle the children's parents-teachers meeting or any other school functions. She focused more on Azure Group and the other messy things that happened afterward.Hence, she did not have much time to converse with the children's class teacher and was not close to the latter. Odette had a deep impression of Renee because of the latter's excellent looks, temperament, and resume. She had long wanted to talk to Renee but had not had the chance.Finally, she gained a chance that day. Naturally, she would not easily watch Renee leave."Ah, Ms. L
Quinton and Renee reached a consensus. They decided to put their focus on their family.Renee woke up early in the morning and guided the children to put on their clothes, wash their faces, and brush their teeth. Then, she urged them to have breakfast. Naturally, Quinton made breakfast. The children enjoyed it very much.Since it was a Monday, the children had to go to school. Previously, the children graduated from kindergarten and entered a key primary school in the district as first graders—but they were brilliant, so they became third graders at the beginning of the year. They were the legendary pupils in the school. "Okay, eat quickly. We're going to be late!"Abby loved the seafood and oatmeal that Quinton made so much that she wanted a second serving, but there was only half an hour left before it was time for school. Hence, Renee hurriedly snatched away Abby's bowl and urged the latter to set off.Quinton frowned and served Abby more. "Let Abby have more since she lov
