Chapter 2258

Author: Mizuki Sei
Renee's words turned the air cold.

Justin stopped walking and looked at her, his gaze ice. He demanded, "You want to end it here? What do you mean?"

Renee was filled with guilt. She avoided Justin's fierce gaze and tried to make the topic less stressful. "I mean… Let's end everything here."

"Hmph!" Justin snorted, unable to hide his disappointment. He found it unfair. "It's just a small thing, but you want to give up so easily. Is our relationship that fragile?"

"I just don't want to make things difficult for you." Renee heaved a long sigh, overwhelmed with emotions.

She belonged to the dark and was fine with her gloomy side, but she didn't want to pull Justin into the darkness. She felt that ending things with him as soon as possible was the right choice.

After all, she could never treat Quinton as a stranger for the sake of her happiness. If she had to choose between the two, she could only choose Quinton. She was all he had.

"No, I don't think so…" Justin frowned, despondent

    Renee woke up early the next day. After she was done washing up, a servant arrived and asked her to head to Austin's study."Okay, I'll go now." For an unknown reason, Renee felt worried. Although the Baldwin family had let bygones be bygones and treated her as their own, she still felt inexplicably uneasy.She had witnessed Austin's wrath and knew how dangerous her current situation was. Her words or expressions might infuriate Austin. If so, she would be doomed forever. During the conversation the day before, she noticed that Austin was bothered by Quinton's background. He sounded like he wanted to eliminate that trouble. Renee understood why Austin wanted to meet her alone. He definitely wanted to criticize Quinton and make her express herself properly. While she was walking toward Austin's study, Renee wondered whether she should contact Justin. After all, she told him yesterday that they should face any issue together. However, though she was holding her phone, she c

    "Nonsense!" Austin valued that fountain pen the most, so Quinton's words were humiliating for him. "My soulmate got this present for me. How could he lie to me?" The fountain pen was not a big deal, but if Austin found out that he was cheated, it would be very disheartening."If you don't trust me, I can ask my subordinate to airship the real fountain pen I keep. You'll know which is real by comparing both." Quinton sounded confident."Fine!" Austin was enthusiastic. He waved and added, "Get your subordinate to deliver the item here. If my fountain pen is fake, I'll demand an explanation from my soulmate!"Quinton didn't hesitate. He quickly fished his phone out and texted Chase. When he got the reply, he snapped his fingers and said, "Just wait. The thing will get here tomorrow morning at the earliest." "Well, I like the way you handle things. You're fast and decisive. You don't hesitate at all. You look just like Maurice. I admire you for that." Looking at Quinton, Austin coul

    Austin hurriedly explained, "I did think that way at first. But after conversing with him, I changed my mind right away. I think he's an outstanding young man with a unique mind, but he was forced to take the wrong path at first by the difficulties in life. It isn't a big deal. We can remedy that.""Uh, is that true?" Renee didn't expect Austin's attitude to change that fast. She glanced at Quinton and wondered about his charms. She wondered how he could easily win the old man over with a few words in such a short time. "Okay, we've cleared things up. Since your family is here, we can discuss the arrangement of your engagement ceremony with Justin."Austin was delighted.He promised, "Quinton, you're Ren's family. Just tell us what you want. I'm sure my family is good enough to fulfill your request.""Grandpa Baldwin, that's unnecessary…" Renee hurriedly tried to turn him down. "Justin and I got together because of love. I don't want anything or formality. Plus, you gave me an

    Austin was sincere. His wedding gift represented a great sum of wealth and a form of security for Renee's future."No, that's too valuable! I can't take it." Renee wanted to make a simple request, but had yet to come up with a suitable one. Unexpectedly, Austin offered such a valuable gift. She found herself unworthy of that. "I want to give you that, so you don't have to care about anything else. Everything belonging to my family will be yours and your husband's in the future. Of course, it isn't a big deal for you to manage a piece of land in advance," Austin said straightforwardly. He sincerely regarded her as his family. Since he regarded her as his family, he would favor anyone related to her and be tolerant toward Quinton. He would also want the best for her. Renee understood how the Baldwin family valued her, especially Austin. It warmed her, but she couldn't accept such a gift as she stammered, "Yes… You're right, but…" "Okay, Renee. Let me handle it for you."Quinton

    Austin wanted to help when the Everheart family was down and out, but he could not bring himself to do so because he was trying to save face.He had thought that the Everhearts could soldier through since they were strong and had support from the Hunt family. Then, he learned about how serious the issue was when he read about the news of Renee's parents killing themselves. However, it was already too late when he wanted to help them at that time…"No, it's not too late," Quinton said coldly. "I've been investigating the families who attacked my family that year and got a shocking list. My family is still not strong at the moment and is too weak to take revenge on them. So, I want to…""No, that's not what you want." Renee could guess his request and immediately interrupted him. "We can't rush if we want to take revenge. Plus, this concerns our family. We can discuss it between us. And our family is still weak. We'll do it once we get stronger."She knew Quinton hoped to get the B

    Renee wasn't expecting anything when she heard about the surprise. On the contrary, she was scared and wondered what kind of shock it would give her. She knew the Baldwin family's favor and tolerance toward her was more than she could accept. Things might get troublesome if she failed to give a fair response for such kindness… She walked out of the mansion with Quinton, who could tell that she was uneasy. "Renee, why do you look this anxious?""Do I?" Renee snapped back to reality and forced a smile. "I'm pretty happy. I'm not anxious at all." Quinton looked at Renee while shaking his head and sighing. "You might have fooled others but not me. You're unhappy."They were twins who shared a telepathic connection, and Renee looked displeased. Of course, Quinton could tell.Renee stopped pretending since they reached a rather quiet spot. She exposed her true feelings and said, "No, I'm not. I just feel ill at ease."She knew Quinton was the only one she could show her true feelin

    Quinton couldn't understand why Renee would be so obstinate when she was generally straightforward and casual."You don't know." Renee sighed and kept her past with the Baldwin family from him. She stood Justin up back then and ran away from the Baldwin family. When Austin learned about that, he nearly made her pay a heavy price for it.At that time, she learned about how dangerous Austin was. When he was happy, he could give all kinds of rewards and make one feel superior. But if he got unhappy and was provoked, he would make one pay a heavy price."Forget it. Let's not talk about that." Renee looked ahead and said curiously, "I wonder what kind of surprise he got me. I hope it's not too much.""I know what it is." Quinton raised his chin and smiled. It looked like he was aware of what the surprise was. "What is it?""Let's go. You'll know when you reach there." Austin asked Renee to head to the West Chamber because the surprise was there. When she reached, she opened the d

    Abby blinked and felt that Adie was right, so she stopped resisting it. "Adie, you're right. I think Mr. Baldwin is a pretty good guy though he's not as handsome, mature, charming, and capable as Daddy…"Abby couldn't stop talking. She compared Justin to Stefan and mentioned endless aspects where Justin was worse than Stefan.Coincidentally, Justin came with a lot of local delicacies for Adie, Abby, and Margaret when he learned that they had come. He happened to witness that scene. "Mr. Baldwin isn't as smart as Daddy. Plus, his voice isn't as pleasant as Daddy's. Sometimes he's more childish than us though he's an adult…""Ahem, ahem!" Renee noticed Justin's arrival and immediately cleared her throat to try to stop Abby from commenting on Justin. Unfortunately, Abby didn't stop. It was unknown if she did it on purpose or if she admired Stefan too much."But…" Abby finally stopped talking about Justin's weaknesses.A sigh of relief soon escaped Renee. She knew Abby was abou

    "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

    "I'm sorry." When Renee heard that from Quinton, she realized the conflict between him and Stefan had yet to be resolved. It was temporarily put aside because of her. She occasionally saw him and Stefan talk to each other and drink together, but they merely put on a show to ease her mind. Their hatred for each other hadn't been eliminated. Instead, it was growing secretly. If Renee were Quinton, she might never forgive the person who had snatched away her beloved and seized her identity. That person even ruined her face."Why did you say sorry to me? It's the resentment between him and me. It has nothing to do with you. Plus, I didn't know he was my brother-in-law then. If I knew, I wouldn't have fought him." When Quinton recalled those affairs, he realized that people were nothing but the sport of fate. If there had been no resentment between him and Stefan, Renee might not have broken up with Stefan. Their families might even get closer. "Stop bringing up the past. It's

    During these days, Renee was under pressure because of her affairs. She had no chance to ask Quinton about it. Now, the long flight gave them a chance to have a deep conversation. They could talk about their woes and seek consolation."Me?" Quinton lowered his head and shook his head helplessly. "I'm still the same old me. Nothing is troubling me. I've been busy with Carmine Pawnshop. I have no time to think about other stuff.""You have no time?" Renee touched her chin and smiled naughtily. "Then, you must have been dwelling on other stuff. Let me guess… Is it the thing between you and Joanne?" "Stop asking so much." Quinton did not deny it but refused to talk much about that. "It looks like I made the right guess. You fell out with Joanne, didn't you?" Renee knew Quinton well. Generally, his work would not affect his mood. The only person who could affect his mood was Joanne, who shared a complicated relationship with him. Before Renee left Beach City, she had created a l

    After a long while, Quinton turned around. He looked at Renee, who was across from him, and heaved a long sigh."We're about to go home soon. Why do you look this gloomy? What's wrong…? Are you reluctant to part with this place?" Quinton said. "No, I'm not." Renee poured herself a glass of orange juice and sipped it. She frowned and dwelled on it before she said, "I feel empty inside. I don't know if I made the right choice.""Empty?" Quinton asked curiously."I think I've said goodbye to a steady life since I decided to leave. Maybe I'll keep on wandering from now on," Renee said melancholically. The reason why she chose to give it a try with Justin because she was tired. She was exhausted from leading a wandering life and wanted to settle down with someone. Others could not give her the sense of security like Justin. When she saw him, she inexplicably wanted a home. At that time, she thought she could forget about everything and start a new life with him. Unexpectedly, she

    Adie was still a child, but he acted like a smart person and could see through a lot of things. He could guess why Austin took them to the Baldwin residence. He had also heard the servants of the Baldwin family rebuking Renee in secret. After combining various situations, he learned about what had happened between Renee and Justin. Despite everything, Justin could forgive Renee under such circumstances. He also treated Adie and Abby nicely. It proved that he was a very compassionate man. A small regret gripped Adie. He wondered why Renee didn't date Justin right from the start. If Renee were with such a kind man, she might be very happy. She wouldn't have to suffer through so many hardships either. "No, you don't know me. I always sweat the small stuff."Justin was displeased since Adie had claimed that he was a good guy, like Renee had. He heaved a long sigh and said, "But it's useless even if I sweat the small stuff, so I stop trying. It all comes down to fate. We can't forc

    Renee turned and found Jovan unscathed. Relief washed over her. She said grumpily, "It's none of your business!""Tsk! How cruel!" Jovan clutched his chest and pretended to be in deep pain. At the same time, he teased, "I know. Your soulmate is better. I'm so jealous of him, though he's still a fallback guy.""Go to hell, Jovan!" Jovan's nasty words drove Renee mad. She grabbed a piece of napkin, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at his face. "If I knew you'd talk so badly, I wouldn't be bothered to save you. Maybe you'll get reborn in Ulria. Then, you have to watch your tongue!""Hey! Yeah, I was wrong. You don't have to curse me like that!" Jovan raised his hands to surrender, but felt quite moved. He poured himself a glass of milk and devotedly toasted to her. "Thank you for caring about me and trying your best to save me. I'll toast to you. And you can do whatever you want.""You're so childish." Renee rolled her eyes and was amused.Justin was quite jealous to see them

    "What's that?" Justin frowned and said with disdain, "That's something to fool naive women like you. Only lovestruck fools will believe that." As a materialistic person, he never believed in things like horoscopes and fortune-telling. At most, they were mixed with some psychology. They weren't trustworthy at all.If Renee wanted to use those things to talk about their relationships and destinies, it would seem very childish. "Don't be so extreme. Those things are real and logical." Renee acted like an experienced salesperson and gradually eliminated Justin's prejudice. She said patiently, "If you believe those things, they can guide you and help you to see things through. If not, you can use them to kill time. Just try to get to know them. Isn't that nice?"Finally, Justin was convinced. He had some milk and asked her leisurely, "Fine. Tell me what kind of relationship we have based on those things." "I learned that our relationship is a declining friendship based on our birt

    "I…" Renee paused. For a moment, she had no idea how to answer that question."Don't put yourself in a difficult position. Just follow your heart," Justin said calmly. "If you want to stay, my family will still welcome you readily. If you want to leave, I'll come up with a way to help you leave smoothly."After listening to Justin, Renee answered honestly, "Maybe it's better for me to leave, though I know this choice will hurt you."She could choose to stay to protect Justin's dignity and give Austin a good explanation. It would be more relaxing and steadier for her. However, Renee knew that it could only last briefly. She would cause Justin greater harm. She might as well be decisive and stop the damage in time. "Don't say that." Justin cracked a bitter smile and said with relief, "I've stopped taking things too seriously. If you like me, you won't stop loving me even if we're apart. Similarly, you'll think about another man if you don't like me, even though you're always b

    Austin was having breakfast in the dining room. When he saw Justin and Renee walk over intimately, he finally believed that they had slept together. They seemed like a real couple."Good morning, Grandpa Baldwin!" Renee obediently greeted Austin just like before. She acted normally."Good morning." Austin nodded, unable to suppress his smile. After sizing them up, he calmly said to Renee, "We know how apologetic you are after you toasted to us last night. We'll forget about the past. You're still a part of my family." "Grandpa!" Justin interrupted Austin; he was very protective of Renee. "She's a woman, and we're not married yet. Please don't say that. A woman's reputation is the most important thing.""You…" Austin wanted to refute Justin, but their conflict was just resolved so it would be bad to pressure them more. He shook his head and said, "Fine. You two always have a bland romance. Finally, you've made some progress. I'll let you two decide what to do next.""Got it, Gr
