"Oh, to think you were just saying how I'm the only woman you'd marry! And now I'm not supposed to know about your family matters?" Renee burst out, sobbing. "Have you ever wondered how I'd feel if Grandpa Timothy passed away all of a sudden?!"
Stefan flashed her a cold smile. "How would you feel? You think everyone in the Hunt family is evil anyway. You avoid all of us like we're the plague!"
"Stefan Hunt, you jerk!" Renee stormed over to him, and raised an arm to punch him. However, she remembered that he was currently injured, and couldn't bring herself to harm him.
Instead, she merely yelled at him in a fiercer tone, "Who do you take me for? I'm not a cold-blooded monster like you! You know how much I love Grandpa Timothy, and you know I see him as my second grandfather! Why did you hide his illness from me?! Do you want me to feel guilty for all eternity?!"
"And what can you do about it?" Stefan's gaze was hostile, his voice disdainful. "It's not like anything would change after you find out about it. Or do you think Grandpa can be magically cured solely because you know about his condition?"
"At least, I won't let him live in regret! I want him to spend the last of his days in happiness…" Renee clenched her fists, seemingly determined.
Stefan wasn't convinced. "How so?"
"How else, you idiot?!" Renee shot the man a dirty glare, suspecting that he was pretending to not understand.
Stefan huffed. "Again with the acting? If you like acting so much, why don't you become an actress instead?"
Renee was dumbfounded. "What do you mean again? You're being weird. When have I ever played pretend with you?"
She was a simple and direct woman, and she had never been anything other than genuine in every relationship she had. Hence, she had never played pretend with anyone in the past, apart from… Mr. Q.
