�Son, times have changed. Stop hesitating. When you meet someone good, give it your all to fight for them. You�ve already lost her for four years. Think back on how you�ve lived in those four years, how much pain you�ve been through. Do you really want to keep suffering?� Francine let out a long sigh, her eyes filled with pain.

She was a proud person, and the Hunt family was a prestigious family. Of course she did not want her only son to marry into another house or her grandchildren to take another surname. But she saw how much her son had suffered for the past four years. He was like a walking corpse. She no longer wanted to see him go through that kind of pain.

Ego and family pride were nothing in front of her son�s happiness. She, and everyone in the Hunt family, wanted nothing more than to see Stefan happy!

�Mom, you�re overthinking it. Renee Everheart isn�t that important to me. Who said I must reconcile with her? The reason I�m treating her politely is purely because she�s the mother of my children. If she doesn�t know what�s good for her, then we�ll flip the table and show her the might of the Hunt family!�

Stefan pretended to be nonchalant. He even said some ruthless words.

�You damn brat, still lying to yourself. You�� Before Francine could finish speaking, Renee knocked on the door and walked in. �Sorry, the door wasn�t closed, so I just walked in.�

She had obviously caught the conversation between the mother and son just now and had heard how Stefan truly felt about her. Francine smiled awkwardly and gave Stefan a punch on the arm.

�My good daughter-in-law, you know how he is. That was just his pride talking. Please don�t believe him or be mad at him.�

Renee gave her a little smile and said, �Don�t worry, I�m not mad. I actually feel the same way. The only reason we remain polite with each other is because of the children. It would be great if we can find a peaceful resolution, but if that�s not possible, then we�ll go to war. It makes sense to me.�

�There�s no need to go that far.� Francine was really anxious. They were so close to reconciling just now. Why did the atmosphere become so tense again?

�You said that as long as he�s willing to marry into the Everheart family, you�ll reconcile with him. Does your word still count?� Francine asked Renee.

Renee knew that Stefan would never agree, so she laughed and said, �Of course. I would be lucky to gain such a good househusband.�

�That�s great.� Francine glared at Stefan and urged, �You fool, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and agree!�

�That�s right. Although the Everheart family is in ruins, we can still afford to feed you. As long as you say yes, I�ll definitely welcome you into the Everheart family with a grand wedding!�

Renee fought back a smile and joked with him. She was certain that the egoistic Stefan would never agree. He might even get so mad that he�d beat her up on the spot. That way, she could claim to be the victim and prevent the Hunt family from claiming that she was cold-blooded and refused to give them a chance!

�Are you sure you�re willing to marry me?� Stefan raised his head and looked straight into Renee�s eyes. He asked softly.

�Uhh� S-Sure!� Renee could not figure out what he was thinking, so she could only nod guiltily.

�Okay, I agree.� Stefan agreed without hesitation.

*Ahem!*
