Chapter 827

Stefan remained composed, despite facing Renee’s utter disbelief.

“No… No way! That doesn’t make sense at all!” The woman had goosebumps all over her body, and she quickly left the room. She had always thought that Stefan had some kind of ulterior motive for pestering her so much. The kinder he seemed, the worse his schemes could be. Hence, she knew that she couldn’t let her guard down.

Since she couldn’t seem to read him, the only thing she could do was distance herself from him, not giving him a single chance to ‘plot against her’.

However, she was still considerate of his current condition, and knew that he wouldn’t be able to survive on his own for the next few days.

Thus, she dialed Francine’s number, getting straight to the point. “Your son’s back is strained, so you should hire a caretaker for him.”

Francine, on the other hand, seemed overjoyed to receive a call from her. She said brightly, “Oh, my dear daughter-in-law, I was just about to call you! Guess where I am right now?” She seemed to have completely ignored the fact that her son was injured.

Renee frowned, asking in a dismissive tone, “I don’t know, where are you?”

She then, once again, mentioned Stefan. “Your son is injured, you know? It looks pretty serious.”

Francine replied, “Haha, oh my dear, I’m bringing Abby and Adie to see their grandpa and great-

grandpa! They’re definitely going to love these little rascals! Come quickly, and bring Stefan with you too. The old man would be even happier to see all of you together!”

“What?! You took Abby and Adie?” Renee was outraged. “Who gave you the right to take my children wherever you want?! Bring them back right now!”

This was the reason she didn’t want her children’s existence to be known. The stubborn Hunts were a large family, so once they found out about the kids, she would have to face all of them.

“Deary, now how is that fair? I am their grandmother, so it’s not wrong for me to take them to visit family now, is it?”

“It is if you did it without asking for my permission!”

“Fine, I’ll ask for permission now. May I take the children to see their grandpa and great-grandpa, please?” Francine sounded slightly annoyed, clearly trying to control her temper.

“No!” Renee rejected her immediately. “Where are you now? I’m heading over to pick Abby and Adie up. As for your son… he’s your problem now!”

“My son?” Only then did Francine mention Stefan, but she sounded indifferent. “You said he strained his back, didn’t you? Then so be it! It’s not like he’d die from that. If you can, just bring him with you. I don’t really care as long as he’s still breathing… Okay, so that’s all for now! My grandchildren are rushing me!”

Renee fell silent, thinking to herself, ‘Francine sure is an extreme mother. She just abandoned her son because she has grandkids.’
