Stefan instinctively reached to touch Renee's cheek, but stopped himself. He was usually a man of few words, but surprisingly, he was laying his cards on the table for her. "It's true. Think about it carefully; I'll come and ask for your answer early tomorrow morning."
Renee clenched her fists slightly, surprising him when she just nodded obediently. "Okay."
She would consider it for the sake of the two babies in her belly, as long as he sincerely wanted to start over with her.
After he left, she stood in front of the huge French window and looked down at the city quietly, seriously thinking about her future.
'Should I stick through with my plan of making a fortune and reviving my family with the two kids? Or, should I go back to my past life and live under the protection of the Hunt family? Do I really want to be a housewife whose life revolves around her husband and kids? It seems like both choices have their pros and cons, and there'll be regrets regardless.'
As she was pondering her fate, her phone rang. It was a strange contact number, originating neither from Beach City or Sutton, but North City.
When she answered the phone and heard a woman's voice, her heart soon sank. She wanted to curse her bad luck, but just tolerated it and chatted with the woman for a while. She also suppressed her anger and said coldly, "Okay, wait. I'll go there now."
After getting her things settled, Renee rushed over to Redwood Mansion where she had agreed to meet Briar.
Briar turned around and glanced at Renee, saying smugly, "Of course, great troubles will disappear if you stay in such a place."
"You're not staying here though, are you? You're just hiding like a rat that's too ashamed to be seen." Renee sneered, bringing up Briar's sore point instantly.
However, Briar was not angry at all. She slowly cut off a rose and sniffed it, then said with a charming expression, "I know you're just jealous of me since you never got what I have... After all, Stefan never adored and spoiled you this way even though you were his rightful wife!"
"Oh, is that so? How did he adore and spoil you, exactly?" Renee crossed her arms in front of her chest in amusement, enjoying Briar's acting.
