Margaret didn't know what had gotten into Stefan.

She thought about it for a while, then added, "Just ask me if there's anything you want to know, Mr. Hunt. If I know the answer, I'll tell you."

"Okay, Margaret. You're really smart."

Stefan sighed, feeling awkward.

He had wanted to chat with her a little to make her feel comfortable so she would tell him what he wanted to know, but now he just looked silly.

"Haha! It's not that I'm smart-you're just not good at being devious." After laying the blanket out, Margaret turned around and smiled at Stefan.

"Go ahead and ask me what you want to know."

"I would like to know if... Renee's late father did anything special while he was alive?"

After much deliberation, Stefan tried to put it as politely as possible.

He couldn't just ask her if Renee's father had cheated on her mother; Margaret would think he was crazy and complain to Renee about him before kicking him out.

"Special things?" Baffled, Margaret elaborated, "Well, he was honest and kind. He did special things everyday like donating to charities and volunteering. Plus, he helped a lot of people, but I guess that's nothing special since it was just his character."

"No, I'm sure he was a great man. What I meant is... his love life. Was there anything special about it?"

"He and Mrs. Everheart loved each other very much. Didn't I tell you this morning? Did you think he had wronged Mrs. Everheart?"

"No, I'm just asking. If he was a loyal man, I would like to learn from him!" Stefan scrambled for an excuse in panic.

"I see..." Margaret's expression turned solemn.

"Then I think you'd better not learn from him."

Stefan frowned and asked, "Why? I thought Ren's parents loved each other a lot, and that I should learn from them."

A chuckle escaped Margaret, and she said meaningfully, "Naturally, outsiders like us wouldn't know what happened behind the scenes. Besides, every couple has a different way of getting along-you need to find the one that suits you and Ms. Ren best."

"Can you tell me about Ren's father then? That year�"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hunt. I'm old, and my memory is failing me, so I can't tell you much. It's getting late, and I'm going to bed. You should rest early too, Mr. Hunt," Margaret interrupted Stefan quickly, and headed for the door. Before she left, she turned to Stefan and said quietly, "If you find anything, I suggest you stop looking into it. Sometimes, it's better to not open Pandora's box, no matter how tempting it is. Everything is going well now, so why don't we keep it this way?" JrNovels.com
