“Quiet down.” Stefan cleared his throat and declared, “I have good news.”
Everyone turned to glare at him.
Timothy, in particular, seemed unsatisfied and irritated every time he saw Stefan. “Are you even capable of giving
me good news? It’s most likely horrible news!”
Francine had the same annoyed expression on her face as she waved her hand dismissively. “Your grandfather and
the grandchildren dislike you. Renee dislikes you as well. Why don’t you go into your room and wait there so you
don’t spoil our mood?”

grandkids to squander my time.” He fed a peeled walnut to Adie and then to Abby as he talked, then told them
gently, “Adie and Abby, you should eat more walnuts to keep your brain healthy. Don’t be like your stupid father,
who does things without thinking.”
Stefan was stunned. Since Adie and Abby arrived, he’d lost all of his status in the Hunt family. They only saw him as

“I won’t believe you if you don’t have proof. You have a knack for duping me!” Timothy couldn’t believe that an idiot
like Stefan could gain Renee’s forgiveness in such a short period of time.
“If you don’t believe me, you’re welcome to ask her.” Stefan turned everyone’s focus to Renee, a smug grin on his
face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Huh?” Renee was astounded as well. Although she and Stefan had discussed putting on an act in front of Timothy
to cheer him up, she hadn’t anticipated such a sudden announcement.
She could only go along with it now that things had progressed to this point. She gave the Hunts a fake grin and
said, “That’s correct. I reconciled with Stefan.”
Timothy, however, was not easily fooled. “Ren, don’t be afraid,” he urged, his face solemn. “Tell me – did he
threaten you?”
“Huh? No, he didn’t. I…”
