Chapter 791
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
The current Renee was no longer someone he could control. She had no intention of joining the Hunt family. This made him very frustrated.
âIâm asking who the childrenâs mother is. Why wonât you answer the question?â
Francine started speculating, âLet me guess which family sheâs from. She must be from one of the eight major families, right?â
âIs it Seraphina? You two have been close since you were young. I knew it was only a matter of time before you two got together. Thatâs great news! Both our families have been waiting for this day for a long time!â
âItâs not her!â
Stefan denied it. âSeraphina and I are just buddies.â
âThen it must be your first love. Whatâs her name again?⦠Cecilia Smith, right? She comes from a rather average background, but at least her family isnât a shady family. Sheâs acceptable as your match.â
Stefan couldnât help but chuckle. âMom, youâre so pickyâ¦â
âWho else can it be? I can count on one hand the number of women you have a relationship with. It canât be Briar Desrosiers, right? I thought sheâs infertile.â
When Francine arrived at a certain assumption, her eyes suddenly widened. She visibly jolted and exclaimed, âOh, Iâm so silly! So itâs her! The legal daughter-in-law of the Hunt family⦠To think that I searched far and wide but the person I was looking for was right next to me all along!â
Stefan did not deny it. He merely replied with a voice filled with disappointment, âWrong. You mean the former daughter-in-law. Sheâs single now.â
âOh, thank the Lord. Itâs just one pleasant surprise after another. Iâm so happy that Iâm going to pass out!â
Francine covered her mouth with her hands. She was overjoyed and excited. She then gave Stefan a hard slap. âWay to go, brat. As expected of my son. Now that I have a daughter-in-law, a grandson, and a granddaughter, I can finally stop worrying about you.â
In recent years, she had suggested many wealthy and famous women for Stefan, but to be honest, she was not satisfied with any of them. They simply could not match up to her former daughter-in-law, Renee.
She used to be dissatisfied with Renee too, but her admiration for Renee gradually grew with time.
After Renee left her son, she had been living a wonderful life. Renee founded the âAzure Groupâ and had the guts to compete with men in a field traditionally dominated by men. Francine now admired Renee from the bottom of her heart.
She was even starting to feel like her boring son was no longer worthy of Renee. She had already given up hope on Renee ever becoming her daughter-in-law again.
But now, her good daughter-in-law had actually given birth to two adorable kids for the Hunt family! Oh, God is good!
âWhat are you talking about? She wonât give me the time of day and has no intention of giving me Adie and Abby. Iâm still trying to solve the problem here.â
Stefan sighed and showed his helpless side to Francine for the first time ever.
This was also the first time in his life he had felt so powerless.
He had always been able to deal with women easily, but he was powerless against Renee!
âIsnât that to be expected? Think of all the things you did to her. If I were her, I wouldnât give you the time of day either.â
The thought of that made Francine give Stefan another whip of the cane.
Stefan said pitifully, âMom, you too?â¦â
âWhat? Iâm on the side of justice. Bad guys like you need to be taught a lesson!â
Francine turned around and told the two kids, âWatch me, kids, Iâm going to give him pain!â
At the same time, she lowered her voice and told Stefan, âDonât worry, Iâll find a way to help you win her back. Iâm your mother after all, so I have to help you.â
