Chapter 678
Renee snapped out of her immersion immediately and turned around to face the man with a guarded look.
“What are you going to do?” Renee asked.
“It’s simple!” Mr. Q continued whispering in her ear. “Last time, I asked you to let me take Abby as my goddaughter before
reclaiming Sun Island. Now I want to add on to that...”
“What do you want to add? You can’t possibly want my son as your godson now?!”
“That’s not all!” Mr. Q grinned and continued whispering, “I want Abby to be my goddaughter, Adie to be my godson, and you...
to be mine.”
“You’re insane!’ Renee jumped away from him as quickly as a lightning bolt, standing warily as if facing a fierce beast. “I knew it!
You’re like the weasel who pretended to pay homage to the chicken so that it could steal food! You only have bad intentions!
“I knew you were too good to be true! You made my favorite food, baked a cake with the kids, and even set off fireworks for my
birthday... It turns out you were just waiting for this! You’re so greedy, taking advantage of me and my kids like this!”
Mr. Q stood with his hands in his pockets as Renee ranted, facing her accusations with calmness and poise that exuded a
majestic aura.
He leaned against the observation deck railing as he watched the fireworks blooming in the sky and sneered, “Haha... I don’t
have any bad intentions. Miss Everheart, do you think I did all these things, went so far out of my way, and acted in ways that
were completely inconsistent with my reputation just to take advantage of you? What do you think my motives are? What do you
think I want?”
“How the hell would I know?’ Renee shot back. She was obviously perplexed, and she couldn’t guess what the man’s motives
were.
Was he after her money? But he was way wealthier than her.
Was he after her two children? But who would willingly take on the responsibility of a parent like that?
Was it... her beauty? But with his status and wealth, he could have any woman he wanted. There was no need for him to pursue
a stubborn mule like her.
“Is it so unthinkable that I simply want you and your children? That I want to build a family with you, protect you from all the
trouble around you, and keep you safe?”
Mr. Q fixed his gaze on Renee, looking into her eyes with a somewhat serious glint.
Renee was stunned momentarily, and the deepest part of her heart was undoubtedly touched.
No woman in the world would remain unmoved by such words. Even the strongest woman would hope to have a man that could
be their shelter, protecting them from everything and taking care of them for the rest of their lives.
Renee’s grandfather had once said that Stefan was the man who could be her shelter and protect her forever.
She had believed it but was then burned badly for her belief.
Now, hearing such words again, she was moved, but her mind was also clear, which meant she wouldn’t believe them so easily
anymore.
Renee hugged herself and said wistfully, ‘Mr. Q, I guess you’ve had a lot of time on your hands lately, huh? Have you been
watching too many cheesy romantic soap operas, and that’s why you’re saying such cheesy lines?”
“Let’s just consider me as a domineering CEO who wants to act out a cliche story.”
The man was like a warrior constantly attacking a battlefield, relentlessly trying to break down Renee’s defenses.
“Give it a try. Use Sun Island’s reclamation as a deadline. It’s also a way to be accountable to those kids. Otherwise, those
troublemakers won’t relent so easily and will only end up giving you more headaches.”
“That’s true. They keep insisting on matching me with you. I still don’t know what they see in you,” Renee retorted.
“Perhaps he simply thinks I fit his image of a perfect father,” Mr. Q replied.
