Chapter 2043
"Stop lying to me! I know you've drawn a line and regarded my family as outsiders, haven't you?" Timothy said. Being a smart person, he could see the change in Renee's emotions. Although he was sad, he had to accept it. "I don't blame you. Everyone is entitled to their choices. You chose to keep some distance between us because it might set you at ease. That's very normal," he said.
"Thank you, Grandpa. I'm glad that you can understand me." Renee stopped pretending. She admitted that her feelings toward the Hunts had changed.
There was now a rift between them.
"You don't have to worry about the kids' upbringing. I won't give them the wrong idea. I'll tell them their father, grandparents, and great-grandfather are very good people. I'll encourage them to come and visit you, too," Renee promised sincerely.
She wasn't a petty woman, and would never manipulate the children to vent her dissatisfaction toward Stefan. On the contrary, she always regarded the children as individuals instead of her property.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
They had a father, grandparents, and others. They would form their judgment.
Renee found it unnecessary to foster negative ideas in them and twist their psyche at a young age.
"You've relieved my worries." A long sigh escaped Timothy. He looked at Renee, reluctant to part with her. "Indeed, you're my swom brother's granddaughter. You're as righteous as he was. Stef was blind to the fact, and lost you. He'll regret it."
Timothy knew it was impossible to remedy the relationship between Stefan and Renee. Thus, he held no hope for it. Even so, he would be filled with regret every time he recalled it.
"Life is made of different choices with their unique meanings. I believe there was a reason behind Stefan's choice. It doesn't matter whether he'll regret it or not, because..." After a pause, Renee added sadly, "People are greedy. No matter what choices they make, they'll regret it."
She recalled the past choices she made, and realized she wasn't that regretful about it. At that point, the choices she could make were the best ones.
People would only regret it because they would miss the second choice when they had made the first choice. In short, they were too greedy.
"Yes, you're right. We're too greedy..." Timothy said.
Timothy was enlightened. He didn't expect Renee to be so wise despite her age. In comparison to the disappointing Stefan, Timothy found Renee very smart.
"I heard from Stef yesterday that you're currently getting in touch with Austin's grandson, aren't you?" Although Timothy was enlightened, he still paid attention to Renee's actions.
"Justin's a very good friend of mine. I'm trying hard to...get a happy ending with him," Renee generously confessed about her romance.
