Chapter 382
‘You have Stefan Hunt's number? That's surprising."
Renee was indeed surprised.
The Stefan she remembered was distant, indifferent, and unfriendly. He would not give others his
phone number easily, nor would he arrange work for his friends and relatives.
She did not expect him to take special care of his ex-wife's uncle!
While waiting for the call to be picked up, Elon said with some pride, "Well, we're family, and I'm his
elder after all. He would at the very least show me this much respect."
Unfortunately, reality soon hit Elon in the face.
The phone rang for a long time without being picked up. He called again, but this time, it was instantly
disconnected.
Renee crossed her arms and couldn't help but snort. "Yeah, I can definitely see how much respect he's
showing you."
"Ahem!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElon awkwardly cleared his throat and explained, "My nephew-in-law is a CEO, so he's a busy man. I'll
call him again in the afternoon. He usually answers. Even if he doesn’t show me respect, he'll show
you respect."
"Elon, I'll remind you that Stefan and I have been divorced for many years. Stop calling him your
nephew-in-law. I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea. If you want to leech off him, I can't stop you,
but don't drag me into this!"
Renee's tone was very serious.
"I understand. I should have been more careful with my wording. It's my bad..."
Elon slapped his lips a few times and said humbly, "But you must let me treat you and Mr. Hunt to a
meal today. I've been feeling guilty about how I treated you and your mother for years. I've now turned
over a new leaf.
From now on, I'll be a good father, a good husband, and a good uncle. If I don't treat you to this meal, I
won't be able to make peace with myself. Please allow me this for your mother's sake.” it n
Renee looked Elon up and down without a word.
She could see that her worthless, lowlife uncle had changed considerably.
At least he was no longer wearing branded clothes even though he was poor. He was dressed in
simple clothes now. Looking at his dusty appearance, he was probably working hard to support his
family.
Elon was her mother's only sibling. She had always treated him like a son and had hoped that he would
one day come to his senses and carry the Barnes family flag well.
When tragedy befell the Everheart family, Elon had cut all ties with the Everheart family because he
was afraid he would get dragged into their problems, but if he really had turned over a new leaf, Renee
could still find it in her to forgive him.
Seeing Renee remain silent for a long time, Elon cautiously asked, "Ren, are you unwilling to have a
meal with Mr. Hunt because you haven't gotten over him yet?"
Renee smiled coldly. ’Do I look like I haven't gotten over him yet?”
‘You do, actually!"
Elon analyzed her situation as an experienced man, "The matter between men and women is actually
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnot a big deal. If you've gotten over it, you wouldn't care. You'd only act awkwardly if you haven't gotten
over it..."
"You don't dare to see him. That means you haven't gotten over him... In that case, why don't I help you
out a bit? I feel like Mr. Hunt hasn't gotten over you either."
Elon's words made a lot of sense, and Renee could not immediately find the argument to refute them.
She suddenly felt like she was being too childish, so she shrugged casually and said, "Fine, it's just a
meal. I don't really care."
It was only a matter of time before they met anyway. Why not do it openly? She could also use this
chance to return the amber pendant to him.
“Great! Your aunt and your cousin Mandy will definitely be ecstatic to see you again... Especially
Mandy. You're her idol! She talks about you every day. She nags at me to find you so much that my
ears are getting calluses."
"Mandy should be 18 years old this year, right?
‘That's right. She turned 18 a few days ago. Her birthday wish was to see you again soon. Who knew it
would come true so quickly!"
Renee nodded. "Then, let's go. I really want to see Auntie and Mandy again.”
