Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 524

Chapter 524

"Silly child, I couldn't possibly get angry at you. If I were to get angry at anyone, it'd be my troublesome

grandson..." Grandpa Hunt huffed in annoyance. "His wife went missing for so many years, and yet he couldn't even

find her. What an embarrassment!"

From the way Grandpa Hunt criticized Stefan, Renee figured that he probably hadn't found out about Stefan's death

yet. "Grandpa, have you... heard about anything major recently?"

"Like what?" Grandpa Hunt smiled sadly. "Are you referring to my useless, dead grandson or the fact that H Group

will soon be transferred to someone else?"

"Ahh..." Renee looked down with an awkward expression on her face. It seemed that Grandpa Hunt knew about

everything.

If that was the case, why did he seem so calm?

Grandpa Hunt could tell that Renee was confused. He sighed softly and said, "I'm getting old, and a lot of things are

out of my control now.

Everyone has their own fate that's been decided by God. Even if we find something that's hard to accept, we have

no choice but to accept it."

Renee had initially planned to ask Grandpa Hunt about whether he knew what really happened when Tristan was

shot. However, asking this now would be like rubbing salt into a wound, and she couldn't bring herself to ask him.

"My dear child, you've been away for so many years. How have you been doing?" Grandpa Hunt asked curiously

and looked Renee up and down.

"I spent a couple of years abroad, Grandpa. It's been good." Renee nodded slowly.

"I can tell you’ve been doing well - you’ve gotten a lot fairer. Since your marriage to Stefan left you with a lot of

unhappy memories, you really did make a good choice by getting divorced."

The old man let out another long sigh. "Unfortunately, you weren't able to give birth to a child despite being

married for four years. There are no grandchildren for me to miss..."

Grandpa Hunt's eyes lit up suddenly, and he stared at Renee. "There are no outsiders here, so you can tell me the

truth, Renee. Do you still have feelings for Stefan? If he was alive, would you consider remarrying him and having

children with him?"

"That's impossible!" Renee answered decisively.

"I won't change my mind once I've decided something. I admit that I loved him back then, so much so that I got

badly hurt by him. However, I've learned my lesson, and won't repeat the same mistake," she added.

"Now that he's gone, do you feel sad? Do you miss him?" Grandpa Hunt asked.

Renee couldn't bring herself to lie. She couldn't stop herself from missing him, and she couldn't get him out of her

mind. Hence, she just kept quiet.

"Alright, I get it. You're a good kid. Stefan was too immature and put you through a lot. Now, he's the one who has

to suffer. This is probably fate.” Grandpa Hunt looked contemplative.

The two chatted for a while, but Renee was distracted throughout the entire conversation.

Grandpa Hunt could tell there was something on her mind. "If you have any questions, go ahead and ask them. It's

tough seeing you like this."

Renee didn't hold back after hearing this. "Grandpa Hunt, was Tristan's death really an accident? Did you ever

suspect there might be more to it than meets the eye?
