“Alright, alright, let her in!” Francine said reluctantly.
In reality, she wasn’t very pleased with Briar Desrosiers. If that woman hadn’t gotten pregnant with achild of the Hunt family, then ended up in such a sorry state, she would have abandoned her long ago.
After a while, a servant guided a plainly dressed, frail Miss Desrosier into the garden.
“Look at her, outsiders would think she was here to mourn the dead! She’s going to bring us bad luck!”Francine frowned as she looked on with scorn, ranting to Edith.
“Miss Francine!” Briar slowly approached and started sobbing as soon as she was in front of her, “MissFrancine, I think I’ve ruined everything! You have to help me this time! If you don’t, Stefan might neverforgive me and he’ll ignore me forever…”
“Really?” Francine’s first thought was, ‘Could this really be true? My angel of a son is finally going toget rid of you?’
Regardless, she kept up a regal facade out of courtesy, and feigned concern. “Stop crying first. Tell mewhat happened. I will help however I can.”novelbin
Briar wiped away her tears pitifully, whimpering. “This is all my fault… You know how Miss Everheart isback in the city, right? I felt extremely upset when reminiscing about the past, so I hoped she could visitmy child’s grave, and sincerely apologize for what she’s done, so that my baby can finally rest inpeace…”
Francine nodded solemnly. ‘That sounds reasonable. No matter if she intended it or not, she did in factindirectly cause the death of that child. She must visit the grave at the very least!”
‘I thought so too, but you know how Miss Everheart is. She’s prideful and headstrong, so she doesn’teven think she was in the wrong! She refused to apologize, and it was up to Stef to step up… It took alot of time and effort to convince her…”
“What then?” Francine looked rather upset now, urging Briar to continue.
Although she wanted Renee and Stefan to make up, she could never forgive someone so immoral.After all, Renee did murder an innocent baby, and it would be absolutely horrid of her if she refused toapologize for it.
“After that, we headed up the mountains, but she kept talking nonsense! She openly disrespected mybaby, which made Stef very angry.”
“He was so mad that he kicked her out of the car, and soon he started ignoring me out of frustrationtoo! I couldn’t get a hold of him ever since we separated from that trip!”
Briar started tearing up at this point, looking back at Francine sadly. “Miss Francine, I… I just wanted tobeg you… to give Stef a call. Please tell him to forgive me, and tell him I’ll listen to his every word fromnow on! I’ll stop forcing Miss Everheart to visit my baby’s grave too! I just want him to forgive me!”
After hearing all that, Francine was furious as well. “If what you said is true, why are you evenapologizing? Everheart should be the one apologizing in this case. She literally killed a baby, so howwas her reaction warranted? How is it unreasonable to ask her to visit the baby’s grave?”
“Of course it wasn’t, I’d say that Miss Everheart was the one overstepping here… She killed a child ofthe Hunt family! We were being merciful by letting her off so easily!” Edith sounded annoyed afterlistening in on their conversation.
She had long heard about Renee’s antics. However, she never expected her to be this bad. She justdidn’t understand why the Hunts were so fond of her, to the point where the usually picky Francine hadsuccumbed to her supposed charms.
In her opinion, Briar was far better, the best even. She figured that a fragile woman like her wouldn’thave any bad intentions in her heart.
Honestly, Francine didn’t fully believe Briar’s word regarding this matter. From what she knew ofRenee, the woman might be wild, but she wouldn’t be such an inconsiderate person
