Renee picked up the bouquet from the table and hugged it, smiling happily. "Are these roses? They smell so good.

I'm sure they're very pretty."

"I saw them on the way here. Roses suit you well because you're as pretty and passionate as them," Stefan said

charmingly to Renee.

"You're so different now-everything you say is romantic! You never said anything like this in the past," Renee

complained shyly. In the past, Stefan was serious and reserved, and never even spoke much to her. Things had not

been easy for them all these years, so Renee cherished these moments greatly.

Stefan helped Renee cut the steak up, knowing she might have a bit of difficulty with it.

Renee lowered her head to eat, and pretended to ask nonchalantly, "Was it difficult for you during today's meeting?

Stefan paused and replied calmly, "Being president has never been easy. I'm used to it."

"They must have made things difficult for you. After all, the internal conflicts in your company are now on the

news." The media always focused on Hunt Enterprise, so Renee couldn’t avoid getting updates on the company. She

knew that Stefan would be facing many difficulties, but he never said anything about it and carried all those

burdens alone. He even did so much to prepare a candlelight dinner for her, and it warmed her heart.

"As the president of Hunt Enterprise, I have to explain things to the shareholders. It's expected that they would

make things difficult for me since Hunt Enterprise's profits haven't been good lately, but you don't have to worry. If

it comes down to it, I can give up my position. After all, I have enough to take care of you and the kids, and you're

pretty rich yourself, so there's no way we'd starve," Stefan said jokingly.

However, Renee couldn't help but worry. "It's easy if it's only about the money but..." Financial freedom was one

thing, but power was more important than money in this competitive world. If one lost their power, they would lose

their protection. Even if they were rich, people with power could still plot against them easily.

"What are you saying?" Stefan asked slowly.

"It's nothing... I just don't want you to leave because of me. You'll always be targeted because of your identity, you

know? " Renee didn't want Stefan to hold back for her and the children until he lost all his power. People who had

fallen off their pedestal were the most vulnerable because anyone could trample on them.

"All I know is that I want to hold on to what's most important to me." Stefan ate his steak, sounding upset.

"Seraphina came to me today..." Renee confessed after a while. "It's obvious that she loves you very much. Maybe

you can go back to her and comfort her... Things may change for the better."

Stefan slammed the knife and fork on the table in frustration and demanded, "Why are you telling me this? Do you

want me to go back to her, marry her, and have kids with her? Are you asking me to abandon you and the

children?"
