�Ugh. You two have such daring thoughts�� Realizing that the two children were serious, Renee did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Neither Mr. Q nor Stefan was an easy opponent to deal with. One was enough of a headache for her. Both of them? She might not get to live long enough to �enjoy� them!

Moreover, Mr. Q and Stefan were mortal enemies. If the two of them met� Renee did not even dare to imagine how that would go down.

�If you really have to choose one between the two of them, who would you choose, Mommy?� Adie threw the question back at Renee.

�I�� Renee realized that the one week time limit was fast approaching. She would have to make a decision soon. �Don�t worry, you�ll find out soon enough.�

She looked upstairs to where Stefan was while touching her ring finger. There was no longer a ring there to restrain her. It meant that she was free to live her life however she wanted. She could follow her heart and choose anyone she wanted!

Stefan and Francine were arguing in the bedroom on the second floor. �I can deal with Renee myself. I don�t need you to get involved. If you really want what�s good for me, please leave immediately!�

He stood in front of the French window, looking out at the lush plants in the garden. His face was icy and he was very annoyed. Yes, he had feelings for Renee, but not enough to make him humble himself to that extent, and definitely not enough to let Francine and the entire Hunt family humble themselves.

Francine could not help feeling angry. She snorted coldly. �You think I want to get involved? The problem is, if I don�t, you can�t handle it! Can you make her name reappear in our household registration book?�

�With your iceberg-like personality and rigid brain, I might have to wait until my next life to see you change her mind!�

�I know asking you to marry into the Everheart family is a big blow to your ego, but as long as you and Renee become husband and wife and your children carry the Hunt bloodline, what does it matter? It�s the 21st century. Stop being so hung up on tradition.�

Stefan looked at Francine incredulously. �Mom, are you for real? Do you really want me to marry into the Everheart family and take their family name?�

�Of course! As long as you and Renee get married again, everything else doesn�t matter.� Francine said generously

Stefan could not accept it. �I thought you were just putting on an act. Are you really gonna �cast out� your only son? If Dad and Grandpa find out about this,they�ll break my leg.�

Francine patted Stefan on the shoulder and said, �Don�t worry, son. Your father and grandfather will do no such thing because they were actually the ones who proposed it. I couldn�t accept it at first, but they convinced me that as long as you can reconcile with Renee and live a happy life, everything else isn�t as important.�

Stefan: ����

�Son, listen to me, you don�t have to feel any mental burden. Renee will definitely take good care of you after you marry into the Everheart family. She won�t abandon you ever again. Isn�t that what you�ve always dreamed of? As long as you can make peace with yourself, your dreams will come true.�

Stefan: ����

�Say no more. Come downstairs with me and tell Renee that you�re willing to marry into the Everheart family and make her take responsibility for you. After years of ups and downs, it�s finally time for the two of you to have a happy ending.�

Stefan facepalmed and said, �You�ve all gone mad!� JrNovels.com
