Chapter 100
However, she regretted it the moment she raised that question.
The answer was clear. She was just embarrassing herself.
“I want to give you a friendly reminder, too,” she insisted stubbornly in an attempt to retrieve some of her dignity. “Briar isn’t the right woman for you. Let’s not talk about her character; the moment she heard that you’d be paralyzed forever, the disdain on her face was obvious. It’s destined that you guys can share happiness but not sorrow. She only loves the bright and perfect you, not for who you truly are.”
Stefan said calmly and lightly, “It’s not important whether she loves me or not. I just want the child to be safe and happy.”
“Mr. Hunt. You’re awesome. Now that’s true love!”
Renee was deeply hurt. She felt so ashamed and awkward that she could not show herself.
Humph! Did he love Briar so much that he didn’t care if she loved him, as long as their child was happy?
Suddenly, Renee felt lucky that she wasn’t impetuous and told him that she was pregnant. She would’ve been greatly embarrassed if she did.
After all, the product of love was a great treasure. On the other hand, the product of lust would
be but a burden.
Who would want a burden?
The staff waved them over. They signed the document and took a photograph before he stamped the divorce agreement with a seal.
“Mr. Hunt, Miss Everheart, the procedure is complete. You’re no longer legally married from now on. This is your divorce certificate. Please keep it well.”
Renee accepted it and lowered her eyes, sizing the document up carefully.
The legendary divorce certificate had a red cover, but its color was duller than that of the marriage certificate. Besides, the couple’s photograph became a photograph with only a single This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
person.
She suddenly recalled that she had once seen a divorce certificate. There was a saying on it that went: ‘It’s a valuable treasure to get married, but if you come across disputes and misunderstandings, they sould be resolved amicably. Never hate each other but part with good terms.’
“Goodbye!”
Renee waved him goodbye. She had never felt so relaxed.
At last, it was over. The four-year marriage was both unfortunate and lucky.
She had loved, and she had hated, but she never regretted meeting him and becoming his wife.
Thus, she hoped that they could cease hating each other and part on good terms.
She had just walked out of the city hall when she got a call from Old Mr. Hunt.
“Ren, I heard that you and Stef have returned from your trip abroad. I’ve recovered well after the surgery. You and Stef should come home to eat with me. I miss you guys so much.”
“I…”
Renee heard Old Mr. Hunt’s enthusiastic and kind voice, and the convoluted feelings returned.
He treated her as his granddaughter during these years, and his love for her never diminished.
Now she had gotten a divorce, so it meant that she no longer had a relationship with him. Besides, she never even bid him a proper goodbye, making her feel slightly bad about herself.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she said obediently, “Okay, Grandpa. I’ll come over and see you later.”
To patch up her lie, she headed to a nearby supermarket that sold imported goods and bought some specialties.
Standing majestic like a castle, Hunt Residence was as magnificent as it always looked.
“Young Miss, here you are. Old Mr. Hunt is in his study, and he’s been waiting for you. You can head right there!”
Unlike the snobby servants at the Hunt Villa, the servants of Hunt Residence treated her with much enthusiasm and amicability, thanks to Old Mr. Hunt.
Renee walked along the long corridor and arrived at the old man’s study.
The old man was writing before the desk. When he saw that she was here, he broke into a smile. “Ren, come here. I ha mething for you.”
