Later in the evening, Renee finally coaxed the talkative children into sleeping.
To be more precise, Abby was the talkative one. She kept pestering Renee to talk about her past life with Stefan.
Adie refuted all night long, but it was to no avail. He, too, was forced to listen to Renee’s stories about her life with
Stefan.
In the end, Abby’s conclusion was that Stefan was a good person who could be forgiven.
Adie, on the other hand, concluded that Stefan was terrible and couldn’t be forgiven.
After the children fell asleep, Renee found herself wide awake.
She decided to take a walk in the garden for some fresh air.

he’d been standing there.
She gasped in surprise. “W-Why aren’t you in bed? Why are you standing here? You gave me a fright!”
Renee’s tone wasn’t exactly gentle when she looked at him and questioned him.
“I couldn’t sleep. The moon looks beautiful tonight. I thought I’d ask you to go and check it out with me,” Stefan
said nonchalantly.
“Erk-hem!” Renee was suddenly lost for words.
This wasn’t Stefan’s usual behavior. He even said, “The moon looked beautiful.” Was a cold-blooded guy like him
even capable of noticing when the moon was beautiful?
From Renee’s perspective, he was probably plotting something sinister again!
“Let’s go. The kids are asleep anyway. We’ll go for a walk.” Stefan started walking down the stairs after finishing his
sentence.
Renee looked at him from behind. Her heart started racing, and she followed him without thinking too much.
Besides, she was planning to go for a walk anyway. Her mood wasn’t about to be ruined by him!
The Hunt family’s residence had one of the largest gardens around. It used to be Renee’s favorite area.
She had carefully planted sunflowers that lasted through all four seasons. That’s why these sunflowers were always
in full bloom, and they were now taller than the average person.
The flowers swayed from side to side as a gentle breeze blew by. From afar, it looked like a sea of gold. It was
exceptionally beautiful.

The two of them arrived at the garden one after the other. The gentle evening breeze and the bright moon up in
the sky kept them company.
Renee looked up at the moon. She couldn’t help but feel calm on the inside.
“Now that you mention it, the moon really is round and bright tonight. It’s so bright that the sea of sunflowers
glows… It looks just like it would during the day…” Renee couldn’t remember the last time she looked up at the
moon.
Ever since she returned to Beach City from Sun Island, her pace of life ran fast forward. Although not a lot of time
had passed, so much had happened. She felt like a top that wouldn’t stop spinning. Now that she came to an abrupt
halt, she felt a sense of peace that she’d never felt before.
“Yes. The moon is round and bright tonight.” Stefan stood by the edge of the field. With his hands in his pockets, he
looked up at the bright moon, which in turn, accentuated his prominent features. Under the moonlight, he looked
like an intricate jade sculpture.
