Grandpa�s smile froze, and the joyful atmosphere suddenly became tense. He looked at Renee and asked sternly, �Ren, is what this kid said true?�

�Well�� Renee suddenly felt nervous. She didn�t want to lie to Grandpa, but if she denied it right now, Grandpa might think she still had feelings for Stefan. It�d be even more awkward if Grandpa tried to set them up again.

Stefan�s gaze was cold, and his tone was arrogant as he snapped, �If it�s true, just own up to it. You and I are already divorced, so there�s no need to pretend!�

Stefan�s words made Renee�s blood boil. Fueled by her desire to beat Stefan, she immediately turned to his grandfather and said enthusiastically, �It�s true, Grandpa. Liam and I are officially dating. I hope you can forgive me and give us your blessings. He�s the one who can truly protect me and make me happy!�

Liam looked tenderly at Renee next to him. He knew this was only an act to make Stefan angry, but he still felt touched by what Renee said. After all, he wasn�t even Renee�s backup plan.

Liam suddenly felt a rush of happiness at the feeling of being Renee�s boyfriend. It was like he�d won the lottery!

Grandpa remained stern for a few seconds before suddenly bursting into laughter. He smiled at Renee and said kindly, �Silly child, of course I�ll offer you my blessings. I wouldn�t have invited you two over for dinner otherwise. I only wanted to see if this kid was reliable, and if he can look after you. You�ve just got out of a painful relationship, so how could I possibly let you enter another one?�

Grandpa shot Stefan a look of disgust, and it was obvious who he was referring to.

Liam was very sociable, and said earnestly, �General Hunt, you can test me, if you�d like. I�m good at almost everything. I can even rap! Let me show you�"

After saying that, he actually started rapping. He was as good as any professional rapper, and his skills were undeniably impressive. Liam was like a ray of sunshine who brought joy to everyone in his presence. His energy was infectious, and even the usually reserved maids were laughing watching him.

Stefan was the only one with a blank expression on his face. �Ugh, how boring.�

Soon, dinner officially began.

Grandpa made a toast. �I�m honored to have all of you join me for dinner, and I just want to say .. Ren, I hope you�ll always be happy. No matter what happens, I�ll always be your Grandpa, and the Hunt family will forever be your second home. Make sure you come back and visit me often!�

Renee was so touched by his words that tears filled her eyes. �Don�t worry, Grandpa. Though Master Hunt and I will not be together anymore, nothing else will change!�

Liam sobered up instantly and promised, �General Hunt, don�t worry, I�ll be sure to protect Ren. Being with her is my life mission.�

�Good kid. You�re both good kids unlike a certain someone all hala - angry!�

The three of them clinked their glasses together, and it felt like a wedding toast. In comparison, Stefan, who remained silent, seemed out of place.

Stefan took a sip of wine and began to feed himself. However, the food was tasteless to him. Needless to say, Grandpa�s �punishment� was truly cruel. He�d rather Grandpa whipped him instead.

Liam reached for a slice of marinated fish. After picking the bones out, he put it on Renee�s plate. He did it so naturally that it looked like he�d done it a million times before.

�Watch and learn. Liam might be Grandpa scowled at Stefan and gave him an angry nudge but he�s a hundred times more considerate. I think Ren is lucky to have left you!� JrNovels.com
