�Weren't we a couple in the past? Although I seem to have forgotten everything about you, we must have been intimate given our relationship. Don't you think you're overreacting?" Stefan said casually, offering her a lazy smirk.

"So what if we were once a couple? Does that give you permission to do whatever you want?" Renee snapped at him, wanting to kick him.

Gritting her teeth, she said, "You're going to get married. Can't you be a gentleman, at least for your fiancee's sake?" Her words instantly killed his excitement, and he straightened his back, scowling at her unhappily.

"Why do you care so much about my relationship?"

"I'm just hoping someone can discipline you and make you stop harming others," Renee heaved a sigh and answered grumpily.

�But you're a mother with two kids. Didn't you do the same?" Displeasure filled Stefan's voice as he spoke.

Previously, he felt that he might date Renee after ending things with Seraphina, but after finding out that she was a mother with two children, he figured it was impossible.

It was not like he hated the children, but he felt she must have loved that man deeply since she was willing to give birth to his children. No man could tolerate being the second choice for a woman, including Stefan.

�When did I do what you did?" His words baffled Renee.

�You harmed me, didn't you? How can you behave like that with other men if you have kids? Justin is always by your side, isn't he? Don't tell me they're his kids," Stefan demanded, sounding peeved..

Renee was dumbfounded by his reasoning.

When did this man become so dumb? Clearly, his brain damage was pretty serious.

"Yeah, they're Justin's kids. If not, why would he always stay by my side? Can you stop pestering me now that you've learned

about my relationship?" Renee complained, wanting this crazy and foolish man to leave.

The atmosphere in the silent ward became tense, and after a while, Stefan finally bit out, "I�ve got to hand it to you-you had two kids secretly. I�m definitely a failure compared to you.�

"Thank you for your praise. You should hurry up and marry Miss Murphy so you can have lots of kids and catch up with me.�

Renee didn�t care if he misunderstood her because she wanted to cut him out of her life.

�I don�t want kids,� Stefan said icily.

�Why? Haven�t you had enough fun already? Are you worried that you�ll be bound by the kids?� Renee glanced at him while sighing.

�Don�t have kids if you don�t want to-they�re a big responsibility. You need to love them wholeheartedly and give up a lot for them, which might be tough for a self centered person like you who likes their freedom. Your kids will suffer if that happens.�

As an experienced person, she was well aware of what a child meant to an adult. An adult had to sacrifice a lot to raise a child, and they had to shower the child with selfless love. She had gone through a lot of difficulties while raising Adie and Abby, and she would have stopped caring for them if not for her love for them.

�Hmph! So, you considered it thoroughly before you had your kids? And you love them deeply?� Stefan demanded, glaring at Renee.

�No, I didn�t think about it that much,� Renee answered honestly. �They were a surprise, and I actually wanted to have an abortion at first. However, the doctor said it was rare to have mixed-gender twins, and it would be hard for me to get pregnant again after the abortion. That was why I took a risk and gave birth to them. They didn�t come to this world because of love, but I love them very much now. No one can replace them in my heart.�

�Does it mean you had Justin�s children out of wedlock and he didn�t want to take care of them? And you raised the kids alone?� Stefan grew more curious about the origins of the children and started bombarding her with questions. JrNovels.com
