Chapter: 597
"That�s true!�
Mandy rubbed her chin and nodded, �In recent years, he has been in a stable relationship with that Desrosiers woman. Reporters often catch them out on a date or on a vacation. I think he must have forgotten about you by now.�
�No, no, I don�t think it�s like that��
Elon held a different opinion. �I�m a man so I know men. If a man has really gotten over a woman, he wouldn�t take care of the woman�s family. Mr. Hunt has taken good care of us all these years and he visits your parents graves every year. He doesn�t look like he�s gotten over you.�
"Then why refuse to even share a meal with Ren? Why find a new girlfriend? Doesn�t that make him a scumbag?�
Mandy suddenly became enthusiastic. She grabbed Elon�s hand and said,� Dad, wanna bet? I bet Mr. Hunt already got over Ren��
�No, no, I already quit gambling!�
�It�s fine. If you win, I�ll do the dishes for a whole year!�
�Oh, that�s fine. In that case, I bet Mr. Hunt has NOT gotten over Ren. If you don�t believe me, just wait and see��
The father and daughter argued heatedly and even made a bet.
Renee did not know whether to laugh or cry. She quietly withdrew from the battlefield and walked around the house.
Elon�s house was not luxurious. It was a simple house but very cozy. Being in the house somehow made her feel warm and relaxed.
On the piano rack in the study, there was a family portrait. Elon�s family of three, Renee�s family of three, and her dead grandparents were all in it.
Renee stopped in front of the portrait and stared at it for a long time. Her eyes gradually turned red.
She was in her teens in the photo. Her parents were young and beautiful. That was the happiest time in her life.
Now, she had been through storms and hell, and was riddled with wounds and scars. There was no way to go back to those innocent, carefree days now�
�Ren, look at you and auntie back then. You�re both so beautiful that you glowed. You look completely different from us, as if your genes have mutated.�
Mandy had come in at some point. She sighed looking at the family portrait.
�Nonsense. You�re beautiful too. As expected of a girl from our Barnes family.�
Renee turned around and held Mandy�s face, that still had some baby fat, in her hands while praising Mandy from the bottom of her heart. JrNovels.com
