Chapter 1381

The atmosphere in the silent ward became tense, and after a while, Stefan finally bit out, ’I’ve got to hand it to you-you had two kids secretly. I’m definitely a failure compared to you.”

‘Thank you for your praise. You should hurry up and marry Miss Murphy so you can have lots of kids and catch up with me.”

Renee didn’t care if he misunderstood her because she wanted to cut him out of her life.

“I don’t want kids,” Stefan said icily.

“Why? Haven’t you had enough fun already? Are you worried that you’ll be bound by the kids?” Renee glanced at him while sighing. “Don’t have kids if you don’t want to-they’re a big responsibility. You need to love them wholeheartedly and give up a lot for them, which might be tough for a self centered person like you who likes their freedom. Your kids will suffer if that happens.”

As an experienced person, she was well aware of what a child meant to an adult. An adult had to sacrifice a lot to raise a child, and they had to shower the child with selfless love. She had gone through a lot of difficulties while raising Adie and Abby, and she would have stopped caring for them if not for her love for them.

“Hmph! So, you considered it thoroughly before you had your kids? And you love them deeply?” Stefan demanded, glaring at Renee.

“No, I didn’t think about it that much,” Renee answered honestly. “They were a surprise, and I actually wanted to have an abortion at first.

However, the doctor said it was rare to have mixed-gender twins, and it would be hard for me to get pregnant again after the abortion. That was why I took a risk and gave birth to them. They didn’t come to this world because of love, but I love them very much now. No one can replace them in my heart.”

“Does it mean you had Justin’s children out of wedlock and he didn’t want to take care of them? And you raised the kids alone?” Stefan grew more curious about the origins of the children and started bombarding her with questions.

“Umm…” She was helpless to his adorable curiosity, and replied, “At first, my love for the kids’ father was unrequited, and he betrayed me later on. I then stopped loving him but found out that I was pregnant. I decided to give birth to them alone, but their father claimed he still loved me and wished to live together with US as a happy family of four. However, he betrayed me again…

In the end, I ended up like this.” She tried to summarize her melodramatic and complicated love affair with Stefan.

‘I see.” Stefan nodded dazedly, trying his best to understand the complex explanation.

Renee chuckled and asked, “What do you understand?”
