"Am I going to be in trouble?" Renee laughed hysterically before wagging her finger at Stefan in a playful manner. "No, no. Stefan, you're the one who's going to be in trouble."
After saying that, she picked up a black caterpillar and 'accidentally' dropped it. It happened to land on Stefan's collar.
"Ahh! It's disgusting. Quick, get it off!" Stefan instantly broke down. As if he was paralyzed, he stood still and didn't move an inch. He kept shouting.
"Oh, dear. I'm so sorry, Mr. Hunt. I accidentally dropped the insect…" Renee tried to hold her laughter. She climbed down the ladder and began 'consoling' the man who was about to go crazy.
"Don't worry. It won't hurt you. It's just wiggling around on your collar. It's exercising!" She added.
"Renee, remove this thing immediately, or you're dead!" Stefan warned with a gloomy expression on his face.
Renee crossed her arms while she seemingly admired the state of 'helpless rage' he was in. "Mr. Hunt, you're still being so fierce. Didn't you say you're not afraid of insects? Why don't you just remove it yourself?"
"Damn it!"
Stefan stood frozen in place. Never mind removing the insect. He couldn't even bring himself to look in its direction. His entire body was beginning to itch. He was terrified that the insect would crawl under his shirt.
Feeling helpless, he had no choice but to sacrifice his ego for now. He lowered his voice. "That's right. I'm afraid of insects. Just tell me what I have to do for you to get rid of this disgusting thing. Hurry up!"
"You should've said so earlier. We wouldn't have had to go through all the hassle!" Renee nodded. She was very pleased with his flexibility.
If she'd known she could deal with him using a single caterpillar, she wouldn't have had to suffer silently for so many years.
Her children observed the playful scuffle from afar.
Based on how well he knew her, he didn't think she'd help him without expecting something in return. She definitely was going to torture him in the worst way possible!
"Well, there is one condition…" Renee chuckled. She then turned to look at her kids. "Didn't you say you wanted to watch break-dancing? I think Stefan has the perfect body for it. I suggest he dance for us!"
Abby clapped with a hopeful expression on her face.
"Break-dancing is a great idea. Let's see how well he does." Adie looked forward to it as well.
Stefan, on the other hand, didn't seem particularly pleased. His voice was cold. "Renee, how dare you insult me like this? You must have a death wish!"
Renee wagged the branch in her hand from side to side. "Mr. Hunt, why do you say so? I asked you to dance because I think you'd be good at it. How do you consider that an insult? If that's an insult, then all the dancers in the world would feel insulted…"
