Francine continued, �I�ve given up on Briar Desrosiers, but there must be a Mrs. Hunt. I can�t let my grandchild grow up without a mother. I�ve thought about it. There�s actually no candidate more suitable than Renee Everheart!�

�Mom, what are you saying?�

Stefan was stunned. �I thought you�ve always looked down on Renee. You persuaded me to divorce her for four years while we were still married!�

�She�s not ideal, but she�s the best person available!�

Francine could not help but sigh. �You�re almost thirty, but you�ve never socialized with that many women. Briar is too much of a hypocrite, while Cecilia�s relationship with your good friend is complicated. After thinking about it long and hard, there�s no better candidate than Renee Everheart. There�s no problem with her except for her family background.�

�But more importantly, I heard she�s quite capable. She quietly started a company, became the.president of the Electronic Technology Association, manages a law firm well and even stole the biggest customers of H Group� She�s not the pretty but useless woman that I thought she was. I�ve always had an appreciation for capable women. This new her is perfectly qualified to be your wife!�

Stefan had rarely heard his picky mother speak so highly of anyone, let alone Renee. He was glad to hear it.

After all, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in- law was a problem that had existed since the dawn of humanity. If this problem could be solved, then maybe Renee and him could really start over?

Start over?!

The abrupt thought startled Stefan.

�Mom, you�re thinking too much. It�s no longer a question of whether she�s qualified to be my wife, it�s a question of whether she wants to,� he replied flatly.

�She wouldn�t want to?�

Francine frowned. Then, her usual haughty expression crept back onto her face. �It�s just an act. She�s just playing hard to get. Do you know how many women would give up everything to marry into the Hunt family? How could she not want to? If she didn�t, she wouldn�t have stayed in the Hunt family for four years despite everything.�

Stefan poured cold water on her plan, �If being Mrs. Hunt really meant that much to her, why did she agree to the divorce that easily? Why was she so eager to get through the divorce procedure as quickly as possible?�

�That�s��

Francine pondered over what her son just said and found that it made sense.

Besides, thinking back on what transpired earlier, his son was the one trying to seduce her. Renee Everheart looked like she had no interest and was shunning him.

If she was just playing hard to get, she was trying way too hard.

�Tsktsk. Sigh!�

Francine examined Stefan from head to foot with a sad expression, sighing as she looked. JrNovels.com
