�What� What did you say?� Renee carefully verified. Impossible, absolutely impossible! She must be hearing things!

�I said, I agree to marry into the Everheart family. When will you propose to me? When will we register? When will we hold the wedding?� Stefan approached Renee step by step and asked her one question after another.

�I� I��

Renee gulped and retreated, unable to answer.

Francine was amazed to see that her dumb son had finally grown up. In order to regain his true love, he was willing to humble himself. His confidence and bravery amazed her. He was truly worthy of being her son!

�Son, that�s very brave of you. You have my full support. Do your best to win Renee back as soon as possible!� Francine gave Stefan a thumbs up. After giving him some words of encouragement, she left to give the two of them some space.

Renee also wanted to run away, but Stefan locked the door behind her and stood close to her, trapping her between himself and the door!

�You haven�t answered me yet, my dear wife.�The corners of Stefan�s lips curled into a smile. His long fingers lifted Renee�s delicate chin as he asked in a mischievous tone.

Renee�s face abruptly turned red. Her heart pounded rapidly. She said nervously, �Stefan, your mother�s gone. You� can stop acting now. This isn�t funny!�

�I�m not trying to be funny. I�m serious. I don�t feel like working hard anymore, so I�ll marry a female boss like you and be a good househusband, cooking and taking care of the children at home. That�s the dream life right there��

�Why would you want to be a househusband? There�s no dignity or sense of achievement. If I abandon you, you would have nothing left. The risk is too high. Don�t be rash!�

�It�s okay, I�ll take good care of you and treat it as my job. I won�t give you the opportunity to abandon me.�

�That�s not the point. Don�t you think it�s humiliating to marry into a woman�s family? Don�t go crazy with your family!�

�Times have changed. The wife doesn�t necessarily have to take the husband�s family name now. In some tribes, a woman can even have multiple husbands. I�m very open-minded. If you�re fine with it, I�m fine with it.�

Stefan leaned close, pressed his thin lips against her ear, and teased, �And as your husband, I�ll also fulfill my duty to you in bed and serve you well so that you�ll be happy every night.�

�Enough with this madness! I�m scared�� Renee felt extremely uneasy. She struggled to escape from his arms.

That was because, if she did not escape soon, she might actually be tempted to accept his offer� Especially the last promise. No woman could resist that. Think about it. After coming home from a tiring day of work, there�s a stunning beauty waiting for you at home. He would make your stomach, mood, and body feel great. It would be better than winning the lottery!

�Stefan, let�s be honest with each other. What�s your goal? If it�s the children, I advise you not to waste your time. Just file a custody lawsuit and let the judge decide.� With the last trace of reason in her mind, Renee pushed the man away and calmly asked him.

�No, my goal has never been the children,� he said, half-jokingly and halfseriously, as his eyes bore into Renee�s.

�Then what�s your goal? To torture me, get revenge on me, and finally destroy me?� JrNovels.com
