Renee stood next to Adie and Abby. She stared at Stefan and Francine with a puzzled expression for a while 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… she wasn’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 an act to me.”
Abby pouted and retorted foolishly.
Seeing his proud son stop cooperating even when she kept hitting him Francine could only give up and 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’s enough punishment so take this cane and let out any anger or resentment you have. I promise he won’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 habits or if he makes any mistake don’t hesitate to give him a tough beating to educate him. That’ll teach him a 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. I want 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 she would 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 Renee would 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. My mouth 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 him and 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 cooking dearly. Why can’t I say it?”
Francine glared at Stefan then quickly walked forward and held Renee’s arm affectionately like a mother 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 a secret. How could you not tell us about something so big? Aren’t you worried that your father-in-law and 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 Miss Francine. 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 she went. 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 some mistakes that caused you and the children a lot of hardship. How about this… Tell us what we have to do so that you’ll forgive us. If it’s within my capability I’ll definitely satisfy your request without batting an eye.”
Francine said with a sincere expression on her face.
