The many assumptions he stated made Renee feel even more disheartened. Because no matter which one it was, she could not accept it! She did not want Mr. Q to get killed because of her. She also hoped he had not been lying to her all along.

�Miss Everheart, instead of making a big fuss here, why don�t you interrogate the person involved? No one knows the truth better than him, but it might be a truth that you�re not willing to accept.� Chase�s meaning was obvious.

He did not know the truth, Rosie did not know the truth, and no one in the entire Carmine Pawnshop knew the truth. The only one who did was the winner of the whole affair, Stefan Hunt!

Chase left after he said that. Renee gradually calmed down, but the sadness seemed to have frozen on her face. It would not fade even after a long time.

Rosie looked at her with sympathy and said softly, �Miss Everheart, I don�t know what happened between you and Mr. Q, but I can tell you one thing with certainty: Mr. Q is a good person and he won�t hurt you on purpose. Whatever he did, he must have done it so that you could be happy.�

�Is that so?� Renee raised her head. Her eyes were wet. She smiled bitterly, �I think he�s a good person too. That�s why I want an answer even more.�

�Are you free now? Let�s go have a drink. I can give you a better idea of what kind of person Mr. Q is.�

�Alright, let�s go have a drink. I haven�t had a good drink with anyone for a long time!� Renee felt that she got along well with Rosie. They hit it off right away. They came to a bar street on the Water Dock. They picked a cozy little bar, ordered a few bottles of strong beer, and started to drink.

The bar had a wonderful ambiance. A man on stage was singing folk songs while playing the guitar. It was refreshing to see a bar with this kind of atmosphere in the Water Dock, an unlawful area.

�Rosie, how long have you known Mr. Q for? You seem to have a crush on him.� Renee gulped down half a bottle of beer in one go. The sting she felt in her throat actually cleared her head. It even made her feel a bit excited. She started feeling the urge to gossip.

�No woman can resist a man like Mr. Q. However, I have self-awareness. I know I�m already lucky enough to be his assistant.� Rosie had also relaxed a bit. She downed half a bottle of beer with great fervor. She did not hide her admiration for Mr. Q at all.

�Nice. You�re not pretentious. I like making friends with straightforward people like you. We�re sisters from now on.� Renee bumped her bottle with Rosie�s. She was starting to take a real liking to Rosie. She actually had very few close friends outside of Liam.

Rosie and her were both single mothers. When they started chatting, they realized that they had many similarities. They shared many stories of hardship and helplessness in taking care of their children alone.

�So you�re saying that you�ve already decided on Mr. Q and was going to marry him to start a family, but in the end� the person you became married to was the scumbag ex-husband who hurt you?�

Under the blurry light, Renee downed bottle after bottle of beer with Rosie while Rosie listened to her story with Mr. Q and Stefan Hunt. She did not understand why Mr. Q would do something like that either.

�Mr. Q isn�t someone who would break his promise for no reason, and he�s definitely not a bad person. If I had to guess� your scumbag ex-husband must have done something shady which forced Mr. Q to back off!� Rosie was filled with righteous indignation.

�I think so too. That�s why I shouted like a madman earlier. I hope that Mr. Q will give me an answer. He suddenly disappeared. I don�t know what to think.� Renee closed her eyes and spoke with pain in her voice.

�Actually, now that it�s come to this, I think you should just treat Mr. Q as someone who never existed. He asked you to reconcile with your ex-husband, right? Then maybe you should do that. After all, your ex-husband is your children�s biological father. No matter how good of a father an outsider is, he can�t take the biological father�s place. For the sake of the children, maybe you shouldn�t be too stubborn.� Rosie sincerely advised Renee from the perspective of an outsider.

�Heh. Everyone thinks I should get back together with that guy for the sake of the children. In fact, I�ve considered it myself. But that means I�ll have to spend my whole life getting tangled up with him. Think about it� If you have to act like a loving couple and run a happy family with someone who once hurt you, wouldn�t you feel disgusted?�

�I can understand how you feel because my ex was a scumbag too. He abandoned me and my son in order to be with his mistress. My son was seriously ill, but he completely ignored him. He was busy enjoying himself with his mistress and celebrating his new son�s birthday�� JrNovels.com
