The current Renee was no longer someone he could control. She had no intention of joining the Hunt family. This made him very
frustrated.
“I’m asking who the children’s mother is. Why won’t you answer the question?”
Francine started speculating, “Let me guess which family she’s from. She must be from one of the eight major families, right?”
“Is it Seraphina? You two have been close since you were young. I knew it was only a matter of time before you two got together.
That’s great news! Both our families have been waiting for this day for a long time!”
“It’s not her!”
Stefan denied it. “Seraphina and I are just buddies.”
“Then it must be your first love. What’s her name again?... Cecilia Smith, right? She comes from a rather average background,
but at least her family isn’t a shady family. She’s acceptable as your match.”
Stefan couldn’t help but chuckle. “Mom, you’re so picky...”
“Who else can it be? I can count on one hand the number of women you have a relationship with. It can’t be Briar Desrosiers,
right? I thought she’s infertile.”
When Francine arrived at a certain assumption, her eyes suddenly widened. She visibly jolted and exclaimed, “Oh, I’m so silly!
So it’s her! The legal daughter-in-law of the Hunt family... To think that I searched far and wide but the person I was looking for
was right next to me all along!”
Stefan did not deny it. He merely replied with a voice filled with disappointment, “Wrong. You mean the former daughter-in-law.
She’s single now.”
“Oh, thank the Lord. It’s just one pleasant surprise after another. I’m so happy that I’m going to pass out!”
Francine covered her mouth with her hands. She was overjoyed and excited. She then gave Stefan a hard slap. “Way to go, brat.
As expected of my son. Now that I have a daughter-in-law, a grandson, and a granddaughter, I can finally stop worrying about
you.”
In recent years, she had suggested many wealthy and famous women for Stefan, but to be honest, she was not satisfied with
any of them. They simply could not match up to her former daughter-in-law, Renee.
She used to be dissatisfied with Renee too, but her admiration for Renee gradually grew with time. After Renee left her son, she
had been living a wonderful life. Renee founded the “Azure Group” and had the guts to compete with men in a field traditionally
dominated by men. Francine now admired Renee from the bottom of her heart.
She was even starting to feel like her boring son was no longer worthy of Renee. She had already given up hope on Renee ever
becoming her daughter-in-law again.
But now, her good daughter-in-law had actually given birth to two adorable kids for the Hunt family! Oh, God is good!
“What are you talking about? She won’t give me the time of day and has no intention of giving me Adie and Abby. I’m still trying
to solve the problem here.”
Stefan sighed and showed his helpless side to Francine for the first time ever.
This was also the first time in his life he had felt so powerless.
He had always been able to deal with women easily, but he was powerless against Renee!
“Isn’t that to be expected? Think of all the things you did to her. If I were her, I wouldn’t give you the time of day either.”
The thought of that made Francine give Stefan another whip of the cane.
Stefan said pitifully, “Mom, you too?...”
“What? I’m on the side of justice. Bad guys like you need to be taught a lesson!”
Francine turned around and told the two kids, “Watch me, kids, I’m going to give him pain!”
At the same time, she lowered her voice and told Stefan, “Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to help you win her back. I’m your mother
after all, so I have to help you.”
