Stefan could not accept it. “I thought you were just putting on an act. Are you really gonna “cast out” your only
son? If Dad and Grandpa find out about this, they’ll break my leg.”
Francine patted Stefan on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, son. Your father and grandfather will do no such
thing because they were actually the ones who proposed it. I couldn’t accept it at first, but they convinced me that
as long as you can reconcile with Renee and live a happy life, everything else isn’t as important.”
Stefan: “……”
“Son, listen to me, you don’t have to feel any mental burden. Renee will definitely take good care of you after you
marry into the Everheart family. She won’t abandon you ever again. Isn’t that what you’ve always dreamed of? As
long as you can make peace with yourself, your dreams will come true.”
Stefan: “……”
“Say no more. Come downstairs with me and tell Renee that you’re willing to marry into the Everheart family and

happy ending.”
Stefan facepalmed and said, “You’ve all gone mad!”
“Son, times have changed. Stop hesitating. When you meet someone good, give it your all to fight for them. You’ve
already lost her for four years. Think back on how you’ve lived in those four years, how much pain you’ve been
through. Do you really want to keep suffering?”
Francine let out a long sigh, her eyes filled with pain.
She was a proud person, and the Hunt family was a prestigious family. Of course she did not want her only son to
marry into another house or her grandchildren to take another surname.
But she saw how much her son had suffered for the past four years. He was like a walking corpse. She no longer
wanted to see him go through that kind of pain.
Ego and family pride were nothing in front of her son’s happiness. She, and everyone in the Hunt family, wanted
nothing more than to see Stefan happy!
“Mom, you’re overthinking it. Renee Everheart isn’t that important to me. Who said I must reconcile with her? The
reason I’m treating her politely is purely because she’s the mother of my children. If she doesn’t know what’s good
for her, then we’ll flip the table and show her the might of the Hunt family!”
Stefan pretended to be nonchalant. He even said some ruthless words.
“You damn brat, still lying to yourself. You…”
Before Francine could finish speaking, Renee knocked on the door and walked in. “Sorry, the door wasn’t closed, so
I just walked in.”
She had obviously caught the conversation between the mother and son just now and had heard how Stefan truly
felt about her.
Francine smiled awkwardly and gave Stefan a punch on the arm. “My good daughter-in-law, you know how he is.
That was just his pride talking. Please don’t believe him or be mad at him.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRenee gave her a little smile and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not mad. I actually feel the same way. The only reason we
remain polite with each other is because of the children. It would be great if we can find a peaceful resolution, but if
that’s not possible, then we’ll go to war. It makes sense to me.”
“There’s no need to go that far.”
Francine was really anxious.
They were so close to reconciling just now. Why did the atmosphere become so tense again?
“You said that as long as he’s willing to marry into the Everheart family, you’ll reconcile with him. Does your word
still count?”
Francine asked Renee.
Renee knew that Stefan would never agree, so she laughed and said, “Of course. I would be lucky to gain such a
good househusband.”
“That’s great.”
Francine glared at Stefan and urged, “You fool, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and agree!”
