Chapter: 517
Meanwhile, Sophia knocked on the door of the bathroom and asked in concern, �Ren, is anything wrong? Do you need help?�
Renee sighed softly, opened the door, and walked out. �It�s nothing. I was only calling my nanny to tell her I�m alright.�
Renee was secretly worried. What would happen if Stefan really came to the Baldwin residence? The two families would surely go to war then, and the consequences would be unimaginable!
She couldn�t let him come to the Baldwin residence� or, at the very least, she could not let him meet the Baldwins.
Sophia did not suspect anything. She held Renee�s hand and said warmly, "Today is your first day at the Baldwin residence. Grandpa Baldwin, Uncle Jack, and Justin have been waiting for you to have breakfast!�
�They are waiting for me?� Renee looked at the sun shining brightly in the sky, and felt embarrassed. She had slept until noon, but the whole Baldwin family was actually still waiting for her to have breakfast. She felt really bad for troubling them so much.
It was a classic European-style dining room. All three generations of the Baldwin family were sitting around an antique round table with a traditional European breakfast in front of them.
The three men, from grandfather to grandson, were sitting so stiffly that anyone could guess they were military men.
"Everyone�s here now. Ren has slept enough, so let�s dig in.� Sophia seated Renee at the table and said cheerfully.
"Good morning, Grandpa Baldwin, Uncle Jack, and Justin.� Renee greeted them politely and smiled broadly at them.
�Did you sleep well last night?� Austin looked at Renee fondly. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her.
�I slept very well last night. Thank you for your concern.� Renee nodded slowly. She was very experienced in all this, since this was how she survived in the Hunt family for four years. She had emerged unharmed thanks to all the masks she wore.
"Really?� Justin suppressed his laughter and asked, �Weren�t you walking around in the courtyard in the middle of the night? You even energetically fixed a hole in the wall! I thought you couldn�t sleep because you weren�t used to the environment.�
Renee glared at Justin, fighting the urge to reach over and choke him. 'Damn that troublemaker! He should know who I was trying to help and why I was forced to do this! What an ungrateful man��
"A hole?� Austin�s gaze instantly turned cold, like the gaze of a soldier on the battlefield. It was terrifying.
Renee hurriedly explained, �I couldn�t fall asleep because it�s a new place, and I saw that the moon was very beautiful last night, so I went out for a stroll. At that point, I happened to see a hole in the wall, so I fixed it.�
Austin nodded and did not ask further. �Today is your first day here, so you can sleep in, but you can�t do it anymore. Everyone in the Baldwin family abides by military rules, and we keep to a strict schedule every day. This is to strengthen our minds!�
"Huh?� Renee was dumbfounded.
"Ren, you are a child from a military family, so you should be able to follow these rules. Maurice probably would be happy that I could make you stronger!�
�Um�� Renee gulped and wanted to say that it was totally unnecessary. Her grandfather had already taught her war theories and fighting skills when he was still alive. He also taught her how to assemble guns, how to make and defuse a bomb, and even how to train soldiers. However, he pampered her in all other aspects, and usually let her do whatever she liked.
