Chapter 122
A feast had been laid out for dinner, with various types of poultry and seafood served.
Stefan frowned slightly when he sat down. Grandpa normally had light meals, so why were there somany dishes prepared?
This was no simple dinner… The old man was definitely up to something.novelbin
Stefan didn’t ask any questions. He just picked up his cutlery and prepared to eat.
Grandpa, who was sitting at the head of the table, cleared his throat. “We’re still waiting for someone.What’s the rush?”
L
Just as Stefan thought! He raised his brows slightly before silently putting down his cutlery. He figuredthat Grandpa probably invited Renee too. Clearly, he was trying to set them up.
His tone was icy as he growled, “Grandpa, I know what you’re thinking, but these things can’t beforced. Renee and I are over, so stop wasting your time.”
“Hah! Dream on.” Grandpa leisurely stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously. “I wouldn’t force Ren toget with a scumbag like you. That’d only make her suffer!”
Stefan was confused. He didn’t expect the old man to change sides so quickly, and he kept wonderingwhether he was being honest.
Right then, a maid cheerfully stepped forward. “Old Mr. Hunt, Master Hunt, Mrs. Hunt is here!
Renee was right behind the maid, and she confidently walked into the dining room.
Stefan subtly straightened, looking at her coldly as if he didn’t know she was going to show up.
After that, he nearly threw up.
Behind Renee was Liam, Geronimo’s son! Stefan couldn’t stand the sight of that man.
Stefan’s face was like thunder. He glared at his grandfather in obvious dissatisfaction, hoping for areasonable explanation.
However, the cunning old man ignored him and continued to smile as he waved at their two guests.“Come, children. I’ve been waiting for you all night long. Let’s sit down and eat.”
Renee was stunned, and she had an awkward expression on her face. Clearly, she didn’t know Stefanwould be here. She looked around, unsure if she should sit down or find an excuse to
leave.
Grandpa really was good at coming up with such schemes. This was so embarrassing!
Liam, on the other hand, didn’t seem to be afraid at all. Almost like a declaration of war, he pulledRenee by her hand and stepped forward. “General Hunt, you’re my idol. I’m so honored to finally meetyou. This is the most exciting moment in my life!” He exclaimed, his eyes sparkling.
The old man was very surprised. “You actually know who I am,
kid?”
“General Hunt, you probably don’t know this, but I admire you a lot. During the Battle of Marsden, youled an army of 50,000 soldiers and still outflanked the enemy’s army of 300,000! That’s practicallyunheard of!”
“Ah, the Battle of Marsden was nothing. My proudest moment was at the Battle of Greenwich. Lookingback…”
The two men, who were nearly fifty years apart, began chatting as if nobody else was around.
Stefan and Renee couldn’t find anything to say. Neither of them expected something like this tohappen. They met each other’s gaze briefly, then quickly looked away. The whole thing felt extremelyawkward.
After nearly half an hour, Grandpa was still laughing from Liam’s jokes. He was in a great mood.“Hahaha! I finally know why there were rumors of Ren being with you. I have to say…
Geronimo is very lucky to have a son like you!”
“General Hunt, you’ve misunderstood,” Liam replied with a chuckle. He lifted Renee’s hand, and smiledwidely. “Renee and I aren’t rumored to be together. We actually are.”
Grandpa’s smile froze, and the joyful atmosphere suddenly became tense. He looked at Renee andasked sternly, “Ren, is what this kid said true?”
“Well…” Renee suddenly felt nervous. She didn’t want to lie to Grandpa, but if she denied it right now,Grandpa might think she still had feelings for Stefan. It’d be even more awkward if Grandpa tried to setthem up again.
Stefan’s gaze was cold, and his tone was arrogant as he snapped, “If it’s true, just own up to it. Youand I are already divorced, so there’s no need to pretend!”
