Stefan�s gaze turned gloomy. �Do you really think I�m bothering you and the kids by being close to you?�

�Don�t you think so? Can�t you tell that neither I nor the kids like you? You suddenly barged into our lives and messed up our daily routine. It�s harmful to the kids,� Renee replied.

�I�m sorry, but I can�t tell that they hate me. On the contrary, I think they both seem to enjoy playing with me. They need a father figure.�

�I agree that they do need a father figure, but that man can be someone else.�

Stefan�s gaze turned cold. He sneered. �Are you saying you want to find them a stepfather?�

�That�s right!� To make Stefan give up, Renee decided to bare her cards. �To tell you the truth, I�ve already found a life partner that I can spend the rest of my life with. The kids like him a lot too. The four of us get along just fine. Please don�t interfere with our lives and make everyone unhappy.�

�A life partner?� Stefan seemed annoyed. �You don�t even know what kind of person he is. How can you call him your life partner?�

�I know him well enough. You don�t have to worry!�

�Do you really think someone would be good to you for no reason?� Stefan asked sternly. �Although you�re capable enough on your own, just as you said, you don�t have a powerful family to back you up. You�ve already divorced once, and you even have two children. Unless he has an unspeakable ulterior motive, why would he accept you unconditionally?�

Although Stefan�s words sounded harsh, he was being realistic. Under normal circumstances, Renee belonged to the least desirable group of women in the dating market. For a �perfect life partner� to suddenly appear out of nowhere, it was definitely not �true love.� Instead, it was likely a trap!

�Don�t measure others against your own moral standards. Do you think everyone is money-minded and emotionless like you?� Renee argued.

She believed in Mr. Q�s character. He was so good to her. Nobody could fake that.

�I�m their biological father. No other man would treat them better than I can. That�s why I�m your best option�� Stefan looked directly into Renee�s eyes while he spoke. �Think carefully about this. If you agree, we can remarry next week and collect our marriage certificate.�

Stefan left after finishing his sentence.

Renee stayed in the garden on her own. She stood under the moonlight and got lost in thought while she gazed at the field of sunflowers.

Truth be told, Renee did consider doing exactly as he said. Although Stefan�s words were unpleasant, he was speaking the truth when he said no other man would treat her children better than their biological father.

Like every other mother, Renee wanted the best for her children. If she and Stefan got back together, her children would be happier. Perhaps, she could give it a try. But what about Mr. Q? She promised she would marry him in a week!

�Ahh. This is so annoying!� Renee felt increasingly annoyed. She ruffled her hair and cursed herself for being a tramp. She was two-timing her fiance. Feeling conflicted, she returned to the bedroom. She tossed and turned all night long, and she barely slept. By the time she woke up the next day, it was already noon.

�Crap!� With warm sunlight shining against her face, she finally woke up and leaped to her feet.

The room was empty. Her children weren�t next to her. They probably woke up long ago. She put in a casual outfit and walked down the stairs. JrNovels.com
