Chapter: 1125
Renee was dumbfounded. �What do you mean again? You�re being weird. When have I ever played pretend with you?�
She was a simple and direct woman, and she had never been anything other than genuine in every relationship she had. Hence, she had never played pretend with anyone in the past, apart from� Mr. Q
Wait, did he find out that I was in a fake relationship with Mr. Q?! We did really well in playing the role of a loving couple to fool the kids though� No one should know about our fake relationship apart from us! Unless� Mr. Q decided to come clean to Stefan Hunt about this for some reason. If that�s the case, what is their relationship with each other? What secrets are they hiding?�
Renee�s mind was working overtime thinking about all this.
�What are you thinking about?� Stefan asked.
�N� Nothing.�
�Really?�
�Of course!� Renee clicked her tongue, feeling guilty. �I mean what I say. Why would I ever lie to you?�
�Okay then.� Stefan looked at Renee with a knowing smirk, as if he saw right through her. He knew exactly what she was thinking at that moment, but he knew he couldn�t let her find out about the truth. If she did, she�d definitely beat him to death.
�What do you think about my suggestion, Hunt? If you agree, let�s pay the old manor a visit, for Grandpa Timothy.� Renee�s tone and expression became grim as she changed the topic.
Timothy had always been caring towards her, yet she never considered his feelings when she decided to up and leave the city. Moreover, she took away his right to see his great-grandchildren as well. She now knew how selfish and cruel her actions were, so she wanted to right her wrongs while Timothy still had time.
�I have no objections.� Stefan paused for a few seconds, then continued. �But I hope our fake relationship can help develop love and affection between us� Even if there is only a one in a million chance, I hope we can try getting back together again!�
This time, Renee didn�t reject him right away. She was quiet for a while, and finally said, �Alright, let�s try it out.�
For some reason, Renee was able to think things through rationally. Life was unpredictable, and their time on Earth was limited. She realized that there were no grudges that she couldn�t possibly let go of in the face of life and death.
That was why she figured that it was worth a try, as there was still a possibility that they could live a blissful life as a couple. At the very least, she wouldn�t be holding any regrets about not trying.
The two then rushed to the old Hunt manor. Since Stefan�s back was still injured, he was only able to either lay flat or sit upright. He couldn�t stand at all, nor could he exert himself, so Renee was tasked with driving the car.
�Lean back against that pillow and stay still. Oh, and tell me if you think I�m going too fast.� Renee grabbed hold of the steering wheel with both hands, suppressing her instinct to speed.
This was the slowest she had driven in her entire life. Sitting in the back seat with a pillow secured behind his back, Stefan calmly questioned, �I heard from Xavier that you like speeding on the road, and that you were the champion of an underground race. You must feel pretty upset driving at this speed, huh?�
Renee sighed miserably. �I won�t lie, I do feel really uncomfortable, but I have to drive slowly for the sake of your back.�
She had also secretly decided to find the opportunity to go to 81 Curve to have some fun while Stefan wasn�t around. JrNovels.com
