Female Novel
Chapter 793
Renee stood next to Adie and Abby. She stared at Stefan and Francine with a puzzled expression for awhile before asking weakly, “What are you doing?”
“The bad guy’s mommy is teaching him a lesson so that he wouldn’t bully you again. I think… shewasn’t hitting him hard enough. They look a bit like they’re acting.”
Adie remarked expressionlessly.
“No way! Bad Daddy cried really miserably just now. He seemed to be in real pain. It didn’t look like anact to me.”
Abby pouted and retorted foolishly.
Seeing his proud son stop cooperating even when she kept hitting him, Francine could only give upand think of another solution.
“My dear daughter-in-law, I heard this brat bullied you so I gave him a hard beating, but I don’t think it’senough punishment, so take this cane and let out any anger or resentment you have. I promise hewon’t dodge or retaliate!”
She stuffed the cane in Renee’s hand.
“Isn’t this… a little inappropriate?”
Renee looked at the thick cane in her hand, then at the tall and handsome man standing in front of her,unsure of what to do.
“Why would it be inappropriate? You’re my rebellious son’s wife, so if you see him with any bad habitsor if he makes any mistake, don’t hesitate to give him a tough beating to educate him. That’ll teach hima lesson so that he’ll be good and won’t make you mad again.”
Francine said righteously.
“No, thanks. I don’t have the ability nor the obligation to educate him. I’ll just educate my own children. Iwant to have nothing to do with him ever again.”
Renee guessed that Francine must have figured out the identities of Adie and Abby by now, or shewould not have chastised her precious son like this to try and soften Renee’s heart.
Unfortunately, when it came to the children, it did not matter whether they used a soft or hard approach,the matter was non-negotiable!
“I’ve made lunch. You guys can stay for lunch if you want.”
Renee did not want to be too impolite, so she invited Francine to have lunch with them.
After all, Francine was still the children’s grandmother. If she showed Renee enough respect, Reneewould also show her respect and would not deprive her of the right to interact with the children.
“Sure! To be honest with you, I’ve missed your cooking dearly. Looks like I came at the right time. Mymouth is watering!”
Francine praised Renee non-stop.
Stefan was flabbergasted. “Mom, can you please behave normally?”
He knew better than anyone how proud and arrogant Francine usually was. Now, in order to help himand Renee reconcile, she was being so humble. It made him feel uncomfortable.
“What are you talking about? I am behaving normally. It’s a fact that I’ve missed Renee’s cookingdearly. Why can’t I say it?”
Francine glared at Stefan, then quickly walked forward and held Renee’s arm affectionately, like amother holding her daughter’s hand. She made it look so natural.
“My good daughter-in-law, tell me when you got pregnant with the kids. You sure know how to keep asecret. How could you not tell us about something so big? Aren’t you worried that your father-in-lawand I would get a heart attack from the surprise? We now suddenly have two grandchildren!”
Francine talked non-stop like a chatterbox, asking Renee about the details of the two children.
Renee was emotionless. She said flatly, “I think you must have misunderstood something, MissFrancine. These two children are mine and mine alone. They have nothing to do with the Hunt family.Please stop trying to drag us into the Hunt family.”
As soon as she said that, the air immediately chilled to a freezing point.
Being the lady of the number one family in Beach City, people showed Francine respect wherever shewent. She had never been rejected like this before. She immediately had the urge to throw a fit.
But for the sake of her son’s lifelong happiness and her precious grandchildren, she endured it!
“Hahaha, my dear daughter-in-law, I know you’re still angry. The Hunt family has indeed made somemistakes that caused you and the children a lot of hardship. How about this… Tell us what we have todo so that you’ll forgive us. If it’s within my capability, I’ll definitely satisfy your request without battingan eye.”
Francine said with a sincere expression on her face.novelbin
