�Your circumstances are different. Ren needed the Hunt family�s protection at the time. Moreover, she loved Stef, and they were meant to be together. That is why-� Timothy was reminiscing about the first time Renee and Stefan met, but Stefan quickly cut him off.

�You don�t have to bring up the past, Grandfather. That was a failed attempt.�

Renee found it difficult to swallow when she heard this, and it sounded mocking coming from Stefan.

�So, in my ex-husband�s opinion, our four years of marriage was a �failure�?� Renee moved down the stairs carefully, her attention fixed on Stefan as she said, �I�m interested in your marriage to Seraphina.�

Renee�s question made Seraphina and Timothy curious. They stared at Stefan and waited for his answer.

His face was emotionless as he said without hesitation, �I think that it�s a strong alliance between two families as we are both affluent, so it�s a very good match.�

Hearing this, she was stunned. She hadn�t expected him to be this honest. However, she couldn�t deny that she felt sad.

�We were a failure, but they are a strong alliance. Knowing this hurts even more!� She thought to herself unhappily.

Meanwhile, Seraphina�s eyes shone with happiness, and she was thrilled. �Stefan, are you being serious? Do you think that we are a good match for each other?�

He didn�t glance at her, and instead focused his attention on Renee. He said cynically, �In contrast to my last disastrous marriage, we are a perfect fit.� It was as if he was purposely provoking Renee.

�Oh my god! This is wonderful.� Seraphina jumped up and pulled Stefan�s hand as she said excitedly,

�Since that�s the case, what are we waiting for? Let�s go to the Beach City Courthouse now and get married. We�ve known each other for so long, so I�m certain that I will be a good wife to you!�

�No!� Renee suddenly blurted out.

Everyone turned to gaze at her as if they couldn�t believe what they were hearing.

Stefan, in particular, was staring at her with mixed emotions in his eyes. He couldn�t understand why Renee, who was harsh and uninterested in him, was interfering with his relationships.

Seraphina�s face darkened as she glared at Renee and said, �Miss Renee, you should mind your own business. Why are you interfering in this? Who are you to object to this marriage?�

Timothy patted Seraphina on the shoulder and said seriously, �Sera, don�t yell at Ren. If you want to get married to Stefan and be a part of the Hunt family, the first thing you have to learn is to treat Ren like your sister. If you bully her, I will be the first to object to this marriage.�

Immediately, she realized that she had been too emotional earlier, so she stuck out her tongue and said playfully, �Grandpa Hunt, I�m sorry. I just don�t understand � she and Stef are already divorced, and she rejected his feelings, so why is she interfering in our relationship?�

Hearing this, Timothy was speechless. He turned to Renee and said gently, �Ren, tell me, why are you opposed to Stefan and Seraphin getting married? Is it because you realize that you can�t let go of him and want to reconcile?�

Renee looked embarrassed, and she explained instantly, �Granpa Hunt, don�t misunderstand me. I have no intentions towards your grandson. I just think that he shouldn�t marry someone else that quickly because he would only be putting others in trouble!� JrNovels.com
