Chapter 326
Renee’s instincts told her it was from Stefan since the screen showed that the call was from BeachCity. She wanted to ignore it at first, but her phone wouldn’t stop ringing.
Sophia looked at her fondly and gestured for her to pick it up. Renee did not want to make hersuspicious, so she pretended to be calm and answered the call.
‘So, you finally decided to answer the phone!” Stefan’s icy voice from the other end of the phone madeher shiver.
It brought back flashes of her nightmare earlier, but she played dumb and said, “What? An insurancecompany? I’m sorry but I don’t need insurance. Goodbye!”
‘ Renee, don’t you dare hang up. You-“
Stefan’s threat was promptly cut off as she ended the call.
“Hmm, my phone number must’ve been leaked. I’ve been receiving tons of calls from these kinds ofcompanies. It’s so annoying!” Renee calmly explained to Sophia while subtly blocked the number.
However, another number called soon after, and then another. Every time Renee blocked one number,another one would call. It was so frequent that she had to make an excuse to go to the toilet to secretlycall him back.
’Are you crazy, Stefan? Why do you keep calling me? Please keep in mind that you are my ex-husbandwho shouldn’t even be on my contact list!” Renee scolded in a low voice.
After a few minutes of silence, the man at the other end said icily, ’It’s not my intention to disturb you. Ijust want to ask if my mother went to you and if she is currently alright.”
‘Hasn’t she gotten back yet?’ Renee was surprised. Beach City and Sutton were not very far apart fromeach other, so Francine should have arrived at Beach City ages ago. How could she be missing? Didsomething happen during her journey back there?
’From what you’re saying, my mother did go to Sutton to look for you, didn’t she?”
’Yes, she did, but I helped her go back that same night. There’s no way she hasn’t reached yet!” Reneehissed.
’Damn it!’ He cursed furiously, then growled, “I’m going to the Baldwin residence now to ask for her.You’d better pray that she’s alright, or I won’t spare you, or anyone in the Baldwin family!”
’What? You’re coming here? Are you crazy?! You-’ Before Renee could protest, Stefan ended the call.
Meanwhile, Sophia knocked on the door of the bathroom and asked in concern, “Ren, is anythingwrong? Do you need help?”
Renee sighed softly, opened the door, and walked out. “It’s nothing. I was only calling my nanny to tellher I’m alright.”
Renee was secretly worried. What would happen if Stefan really came to the Baldwin residence? Thetwo families would surely go to war then, and the consequences would be unimaginable!
She couldn’t let him come to the Baldwin residence… or, at the very least, she could not let him meetthe Baldwins.
Sophia did not suspect anything. She held Renee’s hand and said warmly,’ Today is your first day atthe Baldwin residence. Grandpa Baldwin, Uncle Jack, and Justin have been waiting for you to havebreakfast!”
“They are waiting for me?” Renee looked at the sun shining brightly in the sky, and felt embarrassed.She had slept until noon, but the whole Baldwinnovelbin
family was actually still waiting for her to have breakfast. She felt really bad for troubling them so much.
It was a classic European-style dining room. All three generations of the Baldwin family were sittingaround an antique round table with a traditional European breakfast in front of them.
The three men, from grandfather to grandson, were sitting so stiffly that anyone could guess they weremilitary men.
