“That’s right. Although the Everheart family is in ruins, we can still afford to feed you. As long as you say yes, I’ll definitely
welcome you into the Everheart family with a grand wedding!”
Renee fought back a smile and joked with him.
She was certain that the egoistic Stefan would never agree. He might even get so mad that he’d beat her up on the spot.
That way, she could claim to be the victim and prevent the Hunt family from claiming that she was cold-blooded and refused to
give them a chance!
“Are you sure you’re willing to marry me?”
Stefan raised his head and looked straight into Renee’s eyes. He asked softly.
“Uhh... S-Sure!”
Renee could not figure out what he was thinking, so she could only nod guiltily.
“Okay, I agree.”
Stefan agreed without hesitation.
*Ahem!*
Renee and Francine were both shocked. They could not believe what they were hearing.
“What... What did you say?”
Renee carefully verified.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
She must be hearing things!
“I said, I agree to marry into the Everheart family. When will you propose to me? When will we register? When will we hold the
wedding?”
Stefan approached Renee step by step and asked her one question after another.
“I... I...”
Renee gulped and retreated, unable to answer.
Francine was amazed to see that her dumb son had finally grown up. In order to regain his true love, he was willing to humble
himself. His confidence and bravery amazed her. He was truly worthy of being her son!
“Son, that’s very brave of you. You have my full support. Do your best to win Renee back as soon as possible!”
Francine gave Stefan a thumbs up. After giving him some words of encouragement, she left to give the two of them some space.
Renee also wanted to run away, but Stefan locked the door behind her and stood close to her, trapping her between himself and
the door!
“You haven’t answered me yet, my dear wife.”
The corners of Stefan’s lips curled into a smile. His long fingers lifted Renee’s delicate chin as he asked in a mischievous tone.
Renee’s face abruptly turned red. Her heart pounded rapidly. She said nervously, “Stefan, your mother’s gone. You... can stop
acting now. This isn’t funny!”
“I’m not trying to be funny. I’m serious. I don’t feel like working hard anymore, so I’ll marry a female boss like you and be a good
househusband, cooking and taking care of the children at home. That’s the dream life right there...”
“Why would you want to be a househusband? There’s no dignity or sense of achievement. If I abandon you, you would have
nothing left. The risk is too high. Don’t be rash!”
“It’s okay, I’ll take good care of you and treat it as my job. I won’t give you the opportunity to abandon me.”
“That’s not the point. Don’t you think it’s humiliating to marry into a woman’s family? Don’t go crazy with your family!”
“Times have changed. The wife doesn’t necessarily have to take the husband’s family name now. In some tribes, a woman can
even have multiple husbands. I’m very open-minded. If you’re fine with it, I’m fine with it.”
Stefan leaned close, pressed his thin lips against her ear, and teased, “And as your husband, I’ll also fulfill my duty to you in bed
and serve you well so that you’ll be happy every night.”
“Enough with this madness! I’m scared...”
Renee felt extremely uneasy. She struggled to escape from his arms.
