Meanwhile, Alexander and his wife, who were on the stairs, were so embarrassed that they shifted awkwardly and quickly turned around to look away.
"Geez," Francine muttered, "I didn't know our son could be so shameless!"
"Geez," Alexander exclaimed with pride, "I didn't know our son could be so good at it!"
Renee mustered up all her strength to kick Stefan off her body and shot up to her feet. She tried her best to straighten her messy hair and clothes and said, "Mom, Dad, would you… would you like a cup of tea?"
"Oh, don't worry about us! You're both clearly very busy right now, so we won't trouble you. Your dad and I were just passing through."
After that, Francine quickly dragged Alexander away, and they were gone.
"Oh god, I'm done for! My image is completely and permanently ruined! What will your parents and all your relatives think of me from now on?!"
Renee buried her flushed red face in her hands out of bashfulness. She felt like crying, but no tears came out. She thought of the perfect image she managed to foster as the prim and proper Mrs. Stefan Hunt all those years ago and lamented at how it was being diced into pieces.
"In their eyes," she grumbled, "I must be nothing but a lazy and greedy woman who only knew how to seduce men all day! Everyone in your family must hate my guts right now!"
"Why should you care about all that?" Stefan leaned on the couch languidly like a scoundrel. His lips had been stained red by Renee's lipstick. He raised Renee's chin with a finger and told her, "You're my very own vixen, and I don't care what others think. I will gladly let you seduce me."
"Ugh, you're giving me the heebie-jeebies!"
Renee indeed felt goosebumps all over her body. She hastily pulled away from the man and maintained a safe distance from him.
"Will you stop it and act normal? You're scaring me!"
"Don't worry. I'll make sure you get used to it in no time."
"Look at you, acting all immature!"
Renee could not help but laugh and said, "We're at the kindergarten entrance. Don't you think it'd be embarrassing if the parents started to fight when even the kids get along nicely? Come on, let's forget this and not make things worse."
"But they stole my parking spot! I've been driving for so many years, and no one has ever dared to do that!"
Mr. Hunt's usually cool and handsome face was now pouting like a boy who had had his toy snatched away from him. Neither he nor the Panamera was willing to give in.
All along, not only had no one ever dared to steal a parking spot from him, most cars did not even dare to get near his car and had always maintained a distance of a few hundred feet at all times. How could a man so feared and respected accept such despicable treatment?!
"Okay, I'm sorry, baby, but for the sake of the children, let's keep a low profile and let this slide. I'll get you some ice cream on the way home, okay?"
After patiently and gently persuading Stefan, Renee then pointed in a direction in front of them and told him, "There's an open-air parking lot about half a mile ahead. There are tons of parking spots! Let's not waste our time fighting for one here!"
