Moments later, Renee realized the only solution really was to give the children a father, so that they could be a complete family. She thought, ‘Do I really have to try it out with Mr. Q and get married to him?’
The next day, Renee decided to return the Rainbow Glaze to Stefan after giving it some thought.
Mr. Q had described the item as some kind of fantasy tool that had healing abilities, and she found it bizarre. However, now that she knew about it, she couldn’t bring herself to feign ignorance. She would never forgive herself if Stefan’s condition worsened without this relic.
Renee checked her watch and noticed it was ten in the morning, which was during work hours, so Stefan was probably busy in H Group at the time. She still had no idea how to face the man after his confession, so she wanted to visit the Hunt manor during these hours to avoid him.
Timothy was watering his plants at that moment. He soon noticed the maid bringing Renee over to him, which brought a bright smile to his face. “My child, you’ve come to see me! You’re just in time – my tomatoes are ready for harvest.”
After the old man retired, he took a liking to botany, as he felt extremely accomplished during the harvest season. He lovingly placed all the juicy, red cherry tomatoes into a basket; the shape and color of his crops showed that his efforts clearly did not go to waste.
Renee didn’t shy away either. She took a cherry tomato from the basket and popped it into her mouth. “Mmm! It tastes great! Tons better than the ones in the supermarket!”
“Of course! This is all organic, without any pesticides too. Grandpa planted these all on his own, you know? It’s delicious and nutritious at the same time!” Timothy wiped the sweat off of his forehead, beaming proudly.
Renee then remembered that her twins loved eating cherry tomatoes as well, and asked sweetly, “Grandpa, can I take some home?”
“Be my guest, take however many you want. I planted these crops for you youngsters after all.”
The two then continued to make idle chit chat, till Renee awkwardly brought up the main reason she was here. “Grandpa, I’m actually here today because I need a small favor from you.”
“You don’t have to be so modest with me. Come on, just tell me what you need.”
“I didn’t know how important the Rainbow Glaze was to Stefan. I can’t accept it, even if he is willing to give it to me. That’s why… I hope you can return this to him for me,” Renee explained as she handed the artifact to the old man.
“Haha!” Timothy shook his head and chuckled softly. “Looks like you’ve caught wind of my poor grandson’s condition. Yes, he does have a hidden ailment, and he needs this relic to heal him from time to time. But… the fact that he was willing to give you something this important, shows that he thinks you’re the true ‘cure’ to his illness. It’s quite reasonable that he would let you take care of it.”
“Ah…” Renee was stunned, not knowing how to refute his statement.
“It’s alright, I won’t put you in a difficult position. You two seemed to be fated to meet, but not to last… It’s perfectly justified that you wish to return this to him…” Timothy sighed and looked towards Stefan’s bedroom. “You can just place this in his room. I’m sure he’ll understand once he sees it after coming back from work.”
