Chapter 301

Renee asked flatly. Her attitude was far from polite. She looked like she was ready for a fight.

She was not the old Renee anymore. She did not have to be considerate of Francine’s feelings now. If Francine dared to make a scene, she would definitely retaliate!

However, to Renee’s astonishment, Francine actually smiled at her warmly.

“Can’t I just come to see how my daughter-in-law is doing? I don’t really need a specific reason to come here.”

“Huh?”

Renee’s eyes widened and her jaw dropped.

Did Francine forget to take her meds today? She had always just called Renee the harbinger of tragedy and she had never been kind to her, yet today…

Margaret said happily, “Miss Ren, Miss Francine is so kind. She even brought you a gift. Do you want to open it and have a look?”

“Uhh, I…”

Before Renee could respond, Margaret had already opened the beautifully packed present.

“Wow, it’s a sapphire necklace. It’s so beautiful! It must be really expensive!”

Margaret was just like a mood maker at a party. She thanked Francine for her generosity, said the necklace would look perfect on Renee, and said the two of them were truly mother and daughter, they understood each other so well!

Renee was perplexed. ‘What is Margaret doing?! She knows Francine and I are at odds with each other!’

Francine smiled and said, “It’s not that expensive. It only cost a few hundred thousand dollars. I thought it suits you, so I bought it for you.”

Francine’s words still contained a sense of superiority as the lady of a prestigious family, but compared to the past, she was like a completely different person.

The main reason forthat was because of the abrupt change in her attitude towards Renee!

Rather than feeling happy, Renee just felt scared. She subconsciously took a step back. “Ms. Francine, I hope you can behave normally. Just call me the harbinger of tragedy like you always do. Also, if you want anything, just say it. Don’t scare me by doing all this.”

“You…!”

Francine was about to lose her temper, but for the sake of her precious son’s lifelong happiness, she managed to keep it down. “Don’t be silly.

You’re my daughter-in-law, so we’re like mother and daughter. As your mother, I don’t need a special reason to give you a present.”

“I don’t need it!”

Renee rejected the gift and pulled out her phone. “Ms. Francine, if you keep behaving like this, I’m gonna call Stefan.”

“Don’t!”

Francine’s expression immediately turned back to normal. She said truthfully, “I actually came here today to talk to you about you and Stefan.”

“We’re divorced. What’s there to talk about?”

Renee’s face was disdainful.

That almost made Francine lose her temper again, but she endured.

“I can see that you and my son still have lingering feelings for each other. It’s not easy for my son to accept a woman. I’ve thought long and hard about it – I’m not gonna make him marry another woman. I hope you two can reconcile…”

Francine added, “You already know that Briar is still alive. She has a bad nature, so I’m going to make her leave after she gives birth to the baby. I don’t want her to have anything to do with the Hunt family.

However, my little grandchild needs to grow up in a normal family – in other words, he needs a mother.

I think you’re very suitable forthat.”

“Hahaha!”

Renee immediately laughed after hearing Francine’s proposal. “You want me to be a stepmother at my age?”

“The child wouldn’t know. Although you’re not related by blood, there won’t be any difference.”

Francine promised, “If you agree, the Hunt family will take good care of you. Stefan will also be very grateful to you, so you two will surely live in harmony. You might even be able to have your own children in the future… What do you think?”
