”Ahem!”

Renee cleared her throat a few times and tried to cover up her embarrassment by drinking water.

Stefan pretended not to hear anything. He elegantly spread a napkin on his legs, then wiped his hands with a hot towel. His movements were dignified and elegant.

The waiter soon brought some exquisite dishes to their table, including braised beef in red sauce, braised cold shrimp with lime, caviar, prime sirloin steak, and a fruit salad.

Renee's eyes were glued to the delicious food on the table. Not only did her stomach growl even harder, but she also could not help swallowing her saliva again.

Stefan wordlessly carved a piece of steak and put it in his mouth. He chewed it slowly and then showed a regretful expression. "I consider myself a picky eater, but the quality of the steak here is really something else. Too bad you're not hungry, or you could have tried it.”

Renee tried to shift her gaze to the outside of the window. She raised her chin high and said disdainfully, "It'

    The red liquid ran along Stefan's hair and dripped down to his cheeks. Although he was in a mess, he still exuded a regal air.“Stef!”A woman's voice came from behind them.Seraphina was holding onto the hand of her best friend, Lina Hepburn, while staring at Stefan incredulously.After confirming that it really was him, she dashed over to Stefan with large, unladylike steps and wiped the wine from his head with a napkin.“My silly brother! What is going on? Why would someone as respectable as you let her splash wine on you in public? Look at you. Your hair and clothes are all wet. Oh, it pains me to see you like this!”As she wiped, she mumbled about how angry and upset she was, then turned angrily and admonished Renee, "Renee, you're in the wrong here. We're all civilized people, so there's no reason to act like this. Splashing wine on my bro's face is like splashing wine on my face. Even if he wouldn't pursue the matter, I would...”Seraphina disliked Renee. When she had to

    “Aah! I'm so mad! I'm so mad! Stefan Hunt, you bastard! I hope you choke on that steak!”After Renee left the restaurant, she finally couldn't maintain her dignified demeanor anymore. She started cursing Stefan out.She never knew that he could be this shameless. After making her so mad that she almost had a stroke, he actually had the gall to sit back down and enjoy the food she paid for with Seraphina Murphy, who kept finding faults with her. What did he take her for? His credit card?!Renee hated how easily she let him affect her emotions even after all these years and even though she had maintained a clear mind... It made her feel useless and powerless.Stefan Hunt was the bane of her existence. Nothing good happened whenever she ran into him. She must stay as far away from him as possible from now on.Thinking of that, her emotions finally calmed down a bit.If she could not deal with him, she could just avoid him, right?She reached out for a taxi and returned to her apart

    “The Rainbow Glaze?”“The Rainbow Glaze is exquisitely designed and made from glasses of seven different colors. Each side is carved with images of rare birds and beasts. It's a famous, auspicious treasure. In that chaotic era, it ensured the peace of Manchest for a hundred years. It is said that owning the “Rainbow Glaze” can lead to prosperity, long life, and fulfilled dreams. I've wanted it for a long time.”Renee continued to roll her eyes. She was exasperated. She asked, "You're not asking me to help you find this so-called ‘treasure’, are you?”“You're so smart, Ren. As expected of someone that I knew could be a great friend to me right away. You figured it out so quickly.”Renee was howling inside. She said through gritted teeth, "You're not doing this to toy with me, are you? Maybe this bottle is just folklore that doesn't exist. How am I supposed to find it for you?”“It's precisely because the task is difficult that it can prove your capability...”Rubio smiled and said

    “You've found it already? Adie, you're so amazing!”Renee was delighted. She quickly got up from the sofa and moved over to the computer.“Look, Mommy!”Aiden pointed to the exquisitely shaped Rainbow Glaze on the computer screen. His chubby little face was proud as he said, “The latest information I've managed to trace shows that this item is currently stored at the Carmine Pawnshop. If you like it, just ask Q to give it to you. He said that everything he has is yours if you agree to be his wife anyway.”“That's... bizarre.”Renee's feelings were complicated. She did not know whether to feel happy or awkward.Why must this thing be in Mr. Q's possession? Now she did not know whether she should ask for it or not.If she did, it might make him think that she was after his assets.But if she did not, she would not be able to make a deal with Rubio Pascal. He only gave her one week...While Renee was stuck in a dilemma, the doorbell rang, and something even more bizarre happened.

    Renee was so embarrassed. She glared at the two kids and said, "That's enough, you two. No matter how approachable Mr. Q is, he's still your elder, so don't be rude. You can't boss him around.”Aiden turned around and put on a somber expression. "Mommy, you're such a hopeless romantic. You haven't even married him yet, but you're already protecting him.”Renee was speechless.'Dear Lord, please make a hole appear in the ground so that I can bury myself in it! My son is trying to embarrass me to death!'“These two kids are very naughty and lack manners. Please don't take it to heart.”She glanced at Mr. Q, feeling extremely awkward.Although she and Mr. Q were no longer strangers, their relationship had not reached this level of intimacy. Moreover, he was her creditor, so she could not be too impolite to him.Surprisingly, Mr. Q did not mind at all. He even kind of liked it. He placed his long arm on Renee's shoulder and asked with a smile, "It doesn't matter. A husband should tr

    Renee walked in with a curious expression and asked, "What can I help you with?”Mr. Q was wearing disposable plastic gloves in both hands. He was marinating the steaks with a secret sauce.“Help me wear the apron, please. My hands are occupied.”He gestured to an apron hanging on the cabinet with his chin, giving out the command naturally.“Help you... put on the apron?”Renee felt a moment of awkwardness. She hesitated and did not move.This kind of action was way too intimate. Wasn't this usually something that only couples would do?Mr. Q turned around and looked at her flatly. "Is something wrong? Are you... shy?”“Of course not!”Renee did not want to show him her cowardly side, so she grabbed the apron and moved behind him. She had to tiptoe to put the apron over his head. She pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I'm a divorced woman. I've experienced everything before. Why would I be shy?”Her slender arms wrapped around the man's strong waist, and her thin fingers t

    “No way!”Renee's attitude was firm. "He's not worthy. I'll only cook for people who are worth my time.”“Then what about me?”Mr. Q asked.“You?”Renee was still thinking about it when Mr. Q said with a smile, "I'm kidding. I'm more interested in cooking for you than tasting your cooking.”“I can see that you're someone who gives more than he takes, like the old me. As someone who has experience in this matter, let me give you a piece of advice. Stop doing that. You should love yourself more.”He shook his head, then murmured as if talking to himself, "Sometimes being able to cook for the person you like is also a kind of happiness.”“...”Renee was stunned. She blushed involuntarily.'What is he doing? Confessing?'She was particularly empathetic to words like that, so she was easily touched by them.“Don't get me wrong. My definition of “like” here is very broad. It includes people like Adie and Abby. I like to cook for them too.”He probably noticed Renee's shyness, so

    “Who?”Renee's eyes widened. She eagerly pressed him for the answer.“You should be very familiar with this person...”Mr. Q paused and said, "It's your ex-husband, Stefan Hunt.”Renee: “...”Stefan Hunt again?!She was truly fed up with him. Why was he everywhere?!“You're kidding, right? My investigation shows that the Rainbow Glaze is currently stored in the Carmine Pawnshop.”Hanging on to the last glimmer of hope, Renee sought confirmation from Mr. Q.The way she saw it, she was on better terms with Mr. Q than with Stefan.Instead of begging Stefan, she would rather beg Mr. Q.“That's what people say, but the real Rainbow Glaze is still in Stefan Hunt's hands. We had a huge battle many years ago, during which I tried to snatch the Rainbow Glaze from him, but as you know, I suffered a disastrous defeat... We've been on a truce ever since. We try not to tread on each other's toes,” Mr. Q narrated it flatly as if he was telling someone else's story.Legend had it that the

    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.

    "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
