Chapter: 1440
�You�re one to talk!� Quinton�s face showed no good emotions. �Are you working as a nanny on the side? How long has it been since you started taking care of that Jovan guy? You aren�t even caring for Abby and Adie anymore! What did he ever do to earn your sworn loyalty?�
The man had been unhappy that she left her business and children behind just to take care of a member of the Hunt family. However, Renee was just too good at coaxing him, so he couldn�t bring himself to say anything harsh, either.
Regardless, he was still rather upset.
�I�m sorry, Quinton. I know how hard it must�ve been for you to take care of my company and the kids, but I promise to be back the moment I�m done. How about I start singing you guys some songs to make up for this? One of each?� Renee said as she cleared her throat.
�Alright, alright, quit messing around!� Quinton quickly stopped her.
�You know I can�t bear to get mad at you. Is that why you keep messing with me? But I have to say. It�s my job to take care of Azure Group. The more the company develops, the higher our family will rise. It�s just that� the little ones have been missing you so much that they couldn�t even get a wink of sleep!�
�I�m sorry!� Renee seemed very guilty. She then turned towards the children. �Adie, Abby, have you been having fun with Uncle Quinton? Do you blame me for not being there with you?�
�Mommy, you don�t want Abby and Adie anyway! I don�t want to talk to you anymore.� Aiden had always been quite sensitive as a child, so he had always held a grudge against Renee for not saying goodbye.
After saying that, the headstrong little boy ran off and refused to come back, no matter how much Quinton called out to him.
Abby was relatively more understanding than Adie, but it was exactly because of her well-behaved nature that Renee found it more difficult to bear.
�Abby, are you also very angry with Mommy?�
Abby shook her head. �Mommy, I�m not mad at you. I know you love us a lot, so you must have a good reason. Abby knows you�re sadder than any of us, so please don�t be sad. We�ll be waiting for you to come home.�
Renee�s eyes reddened as she responded, �Abby, do you remember what Mommy taught you, that we have to repay the kindness that we receive? Let�s just say� Someone sacrificed themselves to save Mommy, and now Mommy has to take care of them because they�re in need of assistance. Do you think I should help them?�
�Mhm!� Abby nodded without hesitation. �Mommy, I understand, don�t worry, and keep repaying that kindness you received. I�ll talk to Adie later, I�m sure he�ll understand.�
�Thank you, my baby.� Renee was moved to tears.
Despite the misfortunes in her life, she was sure that she could overcome it all as long as she had her children with her.
After Stefan ended his conversation with Elijah, he was in a very irritable mood. He switched his laptop off and prepared to go for a walk nearby to relax.
For the past few days, he had been getting increasingly frustrated with company matters. It was to the point he even thought of stepping down. However, it was impossible to abdicate the position at this very moment.
At present, looking at the entire Hunt family, the only people who were capable of taking up the responsibility of managing the entire company were he and Jovan.
Jovan was now traveling around the world, enjoying life with that �liar.� Hence, if Stefan were to give up as well, both the company and the family would be ruined.
Reality was indeed rather cruel, as this was a dog-eat-dog world.
As the head of the eight families in Beach City, the Hunt family was able to enjoy power and glory, with just as much risk and responsibility to bear. Thus, he wouldn�t dare to stop for a single moment, no matter how tired he felt.
Moreover, before he could even stop, the Carmine Pawnshop started to attack once again. He just couldn�t imagine what would happen if the day he decided to give up arrived�
�The Carmine Pawnshop�� The man stood at the edge of the wide lake, his thin lips spitting out cold and cruel words. �You�re the ones who started this first, so you deserve any punishment that comes with it!�
From a distance, he looked elegant and handsome, especially since it was sunset. As the warm sunlight fell on the lake, the glistening water made his beauty seem all the more enchanting. JrNovels.com
