“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.

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.
“I really don’t know.” Stefan wasn’t lying at all. He finally realized that Renee had an extremely complicated mind,
and he couldn’t read her in the slightest.
“Grandpa Timothy had always wanted us to get back together. Now that we’re legally married again because of
certain mistakes, why don’t we just fulfill his wish? Besides, with Abby and Adie around, he might just be able to
recover because of all the love and joy he’ll receive,” Renee said hopefully.
She never knew about Timothy’s physical condition, so it never once crossed her mind to play pretend in front of
him. Now, it seemed to her that she needed to take immediate action, or else the old man might die with regrets.
“So you’re saying you’re willing to start over with me?” The iciness in Stefan’s gaze was instantly replaced with a

Renee didn’t care for his enthusiasm at all, quickly extinguishing any dreams he had for her. “Don’t misunderstand
my intentions, I just want to make Grandpa Timothy happy. Our relationship is just an act. The day he passes away
is the day I cut ties with you again,” Renee explained with a frosty expression.
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.
