Chapter 599

‘That may be true, but when you need a man, you need a man. For example, when I filled out the enrollment information just now, there was a column that asked for the name and occupation of the children’s father. What are we supposed to write there?’

The reason why Margaret started nagging Renee again was because she faced a dilemma when she filled out the enrollment information earlier.

It made her realize that, be it Miss Ren or the two children, they all needed a man in the house.

“Just write “none”. There are plenty of people who lost their spouse or their father in this world, so why can’t we be in that situation too?”

Renee continued to paint, her mood not affected in the slightest.

The moment she decided to divorce Stefan and left Beach City for Sun Island, she had already anticipated these situations and had accepted them. She did not think it was a big deal.

“We can’t do that!”

Margaret was a bit agitated. ‘Miss Ren, you’re too carefree. Nowadays, kindergarten teachers treat the children differently based on who their parents are. If they know that Abby and Adie have no father, they’ll definitely get neglected to some extent. If the class finds out, the children will also mock and laugh at them. It’ll hurt Abby and Adie. That’s why, we must write a name in this column no matter what, and you must keep the fact that you’re a single mother a secret…”

“I think we should just write Master Liam’s name for now. The two children see him as a father figure anyway. Master Liam is also reliable. If you start a relationship with him, I’d be the first to show my support.”

In Margaret’s opinion, Liam was the man who loved Renee the most, and he was the most suitable candidate to be the man in their house. She had been hoping that the two of them would get married soon. She would be able to rest easy then.

But to her surprise, Renee said awkwardly, “We cant write Liam’s name. I have to cut all ties with him.

Barring any accident, I probably won’t have any contact with him anymore.”

“What?!”

Margaret’s eyes widened in surprise. She could not believe what she was hearing. “I thought you and Master Liam were going to get married? Even if you don’t, you two are so close that you would surely be lifelong friends. How did it get to this? Did he do anything to hurt you?”

Renee shook her head. “There’s no way Liam would hurt me. He would hurt himself first before he would hurt me. The reason for cutting ties with him is precisely because he’s sacrificed too much for me, more than I can bear. Therefore, in order not to hurt him, parting ways is the best way to handle this.”

“But…”

Margaret looked at Renee with sympathy and said, “But without a capable helper like Master Liam, you’ll be on your own from now on. Your life will become even more difficult than before. How can I feel happy about this?”

Renee sighed and smiled wryly, “Yes, losing him is like losing one of my limbs. I’ll need to work even harder and I’ll probably suffer a lot more hardship from now on. However, we all have to learn to walk on our own someday. I can’t keep relying on others’ charity. A love debt is really hard to pay…”

Margaret did not fully understand. She looked at Renee and asked, “Miss Ren, I don’t quite understand what you mean. In my opinion, Master Liam is a really good man. Since he can accept you for who you are, fully embrace the two children, and make sacrifices for you without holding back, why can’t you compromise and give him a chance?”

“You know me, Margaret. If I could, I would have done it long ago. I also had the option to come back here anytime in the last four years to start over with Stefan, the father of my children, but do you really think I could do that?”

Renee’s words made Margaret come to a sudden realization.

‘That’s right, Miss Ren. You’re not someone who can compromise in these matters. Don’t get involved with a bad guy like Stefan anymore. Even if he’s the children’s father, we need to avoid him like the plague. I can’t bear to see you get hurt again!”

When Margaret spoke of Stefan, she was filled with righteous indignation. She wished she could kick him a few times.

“I won’t.”

Renee’s expression turned gloomy. She said faintly, “Because he’s already dead.”
