�We don�t want it!� said Margaret. Although she was just a humble servant, she was still full of pride. She looked at the basket of tomatoes and was reminded of all the hardship and misfortune Renee had to endure. To her, it seemed that these tomatoes were what the Hunt family sent as an insult to Renee.

�Take this garbage back with you!� Margaret told Stefan. �After all you�ve put Miss Renee through, and all you could think of was to send her these rotten tomatoes?! What do you take Miss Renee for? What does your family take Miss Renee for? What an abominable family!�

�Renee picked these tomatoes herself,� replied Stefan. �If you don�t want it, then let her throw them away herself.�

Once he finished his sentence, he got up and was ready to leave.

Just then, Adie and Abby, who had been eavesdropping at the door, rushed out of the study.

�You can�t let Uncle Handsome leave, Aunt Margaret! Adie and I still want to play with him!�

Abby clung onto one of Stefan�s long legs and raised her sweet and adorable little face towards him, charmingly cooing, �You promised you�d stay and play with us, Uncle Handsome! Why are you leaving now? Don�t you know that your nose will grow very long when you lie?�

Margaret panicked and hastily pulled Abby away from Stefan and put her down behind her before sternly warning the girl, �That man is an evil demon, Abby! We must stay away from him, or else he will turn into a big gray wolf and eat you up, and you�ll never get to see Mommy again!�

All this time, Margaret would do anything not to let Stefan Hunt discover the existence of the twins, but in the end, it seemed that he had already found out about it. Still, judging from the Hunt family�s power and capabilities to obtain information, she surmised that perhaps they had found out about the twins and concocted a silly excuse to visit them.

In that case, it probably did not matter how hard they tried to conceal the existence of the twins from the world because, in the end, they would still end up learning the truth anyway. Now that it was pointless to hide the truth, all Margaret could do was urge the twins to be wary of Stefan Hunt.

�That�s impossible, Aunt Margaret! Uncle Handsome is a good guy! He gave us these tomatoes. I tasted them, and they were very sweet! I ate so many just now! Try them yourself, Aunt Margaret! Once you�ve tried them, you�ll know that Uncle Handsome can�t be a bad guy!�

Then, like a nimble little cat, Abby slipped through Margaret�s fingers and ran from behind her towards the basket of tomatoes, picking one up and offering it to Margaret with bright innocent eyes.

�You�re such a silly girl, Abby! Bad guys don�t have the words �bad guy� written on their faces so you could tell them apart from the others! Don�t you remember the story of Little Red Riding Hood that I told you about? The big gray wolf pretended to be her grandma and tricked her into trusting him; that�s how she ended up getting eaten by the wolf� That man is just like the big gray wolf! You must always keep your eyes open and use reason to distinguish the bad from the good, and you must stay away from him, understood?�

Margaret earnestly and patiently lectured Abby, but the only reply she got from the girl was, �I know, I know. You�re right, Aunt Margaret. I�ll be very careful from now on. Still� This tomato is really yummy! You should try it!�

Abby then ate another tomato, then, with her pink little fingers, gently stuffed one into Margaret�s mouth.

Adie, who had been standing on the side, also picked up a tomato and popped it into his mouth, and slowly chewed it. He made appreciative grunts and said, �It�s true. The tomatoes are indeed very fresh and very sweet. I�m sure this man had come to visit us with full sincerity. Don�t worry too much, Aunt Margaret. Mommy taught us to be courteous and polite with our guests, so we must make him feel welcome!�

�Adie!� Margaret stared at the boy in disbelief. �Not you too! What�s the matter with you? Why are you acting just like Abby?�

Abby had always been easily tricked by looks and appearances. She was also a very sweet and.amiable girl, so it did not surprise Margaret one bit that she would be �bought over� by Stefan�s handsome looks. Adie, however, was a clever and quick-witted boy. He was an even better judge of character, apart from being extremely protective of his mother. He could not possibly be serious about welcoming Stefan Hunt as their guest, right?

�You must be tired from working all day, Aunt Margaret. Why don�t you go and take a rest? Leave this guest to us! We�ll entertain him!�

Adie then took Margaret�s hand and led her into her room. A few minutes later, he returned with a smile on his face and told Stefan, who was getting ready to leave, �I told Aunt Margaret to rest for the day, so you can stay and play in our house in peace. Soon, Mommy will be home from work. You can play with her too when she comes back.� JrNovels.com
