Renee tried to explain the importance of Stefan's work to Abby in a way she would understand.

"Oh, I see..." Abby nodded vaguely.

Adie scoffed, "No, his employees can work someplace else even if they don't work at his company. They won't starve. Plus, we have so much family property, and we won't starve too even if he doesn't work. I think he just values his work more than us."

Renee sighed and said helplessly, "You both are young and don�t know about the responsibilities of adults. Your daddy can only protect us if he's strong."

"I don't need that. We can protect ourselves, we... we just want you both to stay with us," Adie confessed, sounding like a child for once.

"I'm a little disappointed in him. Well, I'm going to go write some codes." He shook his head and went upstairs, looking downcast. Adie usually went to write codes when he was unhappy, and could spend a whole day doing it.

"Just ignore him. Let's have some fun!" Renee said to Abby, unaware of the imminent danger looming...

Once Seraphina was sure that Stefan was gone, she carefully snuck into Renee's house. She hid nearby and watched Renee and Abby play games. However, she had a feeling that something was amiss. Renee was wearing sunglasses in broad daylight, and her movements seemed unnatural. Could it be...

"Mommy, try and guess what I drew." Abby was sitting in front of Renee and drew a butterfly with a marker pen.

"Is it... a puppy?"

"Haha! You're wrong-it's a butterfly. It's my turn to tickle you now." Abby giggled then crawled into Renee's arms and tickled her.

They laughed and fooled around in the grass, painting a sweet picture in the sunlight.

Seraphina was moved watching them, and felt jealous of Renee's life. Stefan loved Renee loyally, Quinton would risk his life for her, and she had best friends like Leia and Liam, not to mention her son and daughter were smart and cute. On the other hand, Seraphina grew up without her mother, and although her father spoiled her, she had no good friends or men who loved her deeply. Her father had even slept with another woman and gotten an illegitimate son, so in the future, she would only get less love. That was why her obsession with Stefan had grown deeper.

In her mind, Stefan was the only ray of light that illuminated her dark world. At first, that ray of light had shone only for her, but Renee had come along and taken it away from her.

"Mommy, let's do it again. I'll draw something else and you can guess what it is!" Abby struggled out of Renee's arms and picked up her pen to make another drawing. Renee made the wrong guess again.

"But why?" Seraphina found it weird. The girl was drawing right in front of Renee, so how could Renee not know what it was?

There was only one possibility-there was something wrong with Renee�s eyes.

As she thought about it, Seraphina became bolder. She stopped hiding and walked up to Abby and Renee. Abby saw Seraphina and stared up at her.

"Madam, I think I know you. Are you here to see my mommy?" She had seen Seraphina on TV before as Stefan's fiancee.

Scared, she hugged Renee's waist and hid behind Renee. Since Seraphina had snatched Stefan before, maybe she was here to do it again.

"Abby, who is it?" Renee frowned and asked.

"Umm... the one who had snatched Daddy away. I think she's here to take Daddy away again. She's a bad woman!" Abby whispered angrily, clutching Renee tightly. JrNovels.com
