She was never a tolerant person, to begin with. If they bullied her, she would only teach them a harder lesson. If she were not pregnant and eager to leave Beach City for Sun Island, she would�ve never let that pretentious b*tch off the hook.

�I can�t change the past, but from now on� I�ll make it up to you and the kids.�

He glued a firm gaze on her face. �We can make a fresh start. I believe that we�ll have a happy future.�

�Who wants a future with you? There�s no future between us. It�ll only be a life-and-death struggle!�

Renee refused Stefan again. Once there was a crack in a vase, it was destined to end up shattered�in tragedy. It was not something that could be fixed on the fly.

She could not convince herself to play along with a man she hated for the sake of the children. She did not want to relive the seemingly bright but cold life. What she wanted was simple and ordinary family life, having a mutual love with her partner. It was just like� what she had with Mr. Q.

�Is that what you think?�

A tinge of unnoticeable pain crept up his handsome face. His gaze turned cold, and he became more perilous as he made an ultimatum.

�If that�s the case, I�ll give you two choices�

�One, marry me, and our family of four will lead a good life.

�Two, let me have custody of the kids, and you disappear from their lives.�

Renee noticed that he was being serious. It was not an empty threat. She sneered and said, �I�m sorry. I�ll just pick the third choice.�

�What do you mean?�

�The third choice is I�ll marry the man who is suitable for me. We�ll be the family of four that will make me happy.�

Stefan�s gaze turned gloomy. He felt like strangling her to death. �Well, Renee, you�re really something. You sure know how to make me hate you!�

�Haven�t you always hated me? So, what if you hate me a little more?�

�Fine. Today, I�ll make you pay the price for your stupidity!�

After that, he opened the door to leave.

However, he saw the two children at the door, staring at him fiercely.

Especially Adie. He regarded Stefan as a criminal. With his hands on his waist, he interrogated, �Bad guy, where are you going?� JrNovels.com
