Chapter 205

“Stefan Hunt!” exclaimed Renee in surprise.

When Renee saw the tall figure standing behind Professor Wood and Jane, she was so shocked that her eyes almost fell out.

Stefan Hunt was a businessman through and through. What did he have to talk about with Professor Wood, a famous scholar?

Was he also here for Jane?

“Big Sis Renee, you’re here! Jane missed you so much!”

Jane, who was wearing a yellow skirt and had her hair tied into twin braids, fluttered like a butterfly to Renee’s side. She smiled sweetly at Renee, her face as smooth and as fair as ceramic.

“I missed you too, Jane. It’s only been a few days but you’ve grown even prettier. Let me kiss you!”

Renee held Jane’s face in her hands and gave her a few big kisses.

This warm sight pleased Anthony and his wife greatly.

“They get along so well. Makes me wonder if they were actually sisters in their past lives…”

Sophia said with a smile.

Anthony explained to Stefan, “Sophia and I don’t have children of our own. Before this, we treated Renee as our daughter, and we later adopted Jane. They haven’t known each other for long, but they’re really close. They’re like real sisters!”

Stefan gave Renee a glance and, as usual, said without any expression, “Sisters? The age gap is too big.”

Renee: “…”

Her fists hardened. She wanted to hit him!

Was this guy implying that she was old?

But he himself was a few years older than her. If she’s old, then he’s old too!

Renee was about to get back at him when Jane said sweetly. “Uncle Stefan, this is the Big Sis Renee that I told you about. Isn’t she beautiful?”

Stefan’s face was cold. He did not respond, obviously very unhappy.

Anthony quickly said, “No, no, you can’t call him uncle if you call Renee big sis. Jane, you must remember, if you call Renee big sis, you should call Stefan big bro…”

“Why?”

“Because Big Sis Renee and Uncle Stefan used to be…”

Professor Wood was a little embarrassed. He did not know how to explain to Jane that Stefan and Renee used to be husband and wife.

Sophia chimed in. “The two of them used to be like mommy and daddy, so they should be in the same generation. Do you understand?”

Jane blinked. She looked at Renee, then at Stefan, and then said with a confused expression, “But Big Sis Renee looks so much kinder than Uncle Stefan. Uncle Stefan looks really scary… Jane has never seen a big brother this scary!”

“Pfft hahahaha!”

Jane’s words made Renee burst out with laughter.

“You hear that, Stefan Hunt? Kids don’t lie. She’s saying that you look old. You’ll be thirty soon. It’s about time you start doing. some skin care. You’re almost in Professor Wood’s age group now. Aren’t you worried?”

Stefan looked at the laughing Renee like he was looking at an idiot, and then said to Anthony, “Professor Wood, let’s talk in the study.”

Anthony nodded, his expression serious. “Okay, come with me.”

When the two went into the study, Renee was still laughing.

When she finally managed to stop laughing, she finally realized that something was wrong.

What did Stefan have to talk about with Professor Wood?

“Sophia, do you know why Stefan Hunt came to see Professor Wood?”

Sophia shook her head. “I don’t know these things. Ask Anthony yourself after this.”

Renee played with Jane for a while before she sneaked over to the study to try listening to what they were discussing.

Just as she was putting her ear to the door, it opened.

She instantly lost her balance and fell into a man’s arms.

Stefan’s chest was really broad. Lying in it felt super safe.

“Don’t you know that it’s bad manners to eavesdrop?”

Stefan asked coldly as his eyes lowered onto the woman who was lying in arms without moving.

Renee awkwardly stood back up and said, “Yes, it’s bad manners to eavesdrop, so I’m not gonna eavesdrop, I’m just gonna sit in and listen. Can I?”

Stefan continued to look at Renee like he was looking at an idiot. “What do you think?”

Renee glared at him and said. “I wasn’t asking you. I was asking Professor Wood!”

“Professor Wood, can I come in and listen to what you’re discussing?”

She was like a daughter trying to charm her father.

Professor Wood had always been fond of her. Surely he would agree, right?
