Chapter 2038

Being straightforward, Francine was about to expose the truth when a cold voice came from behind them.

"You woke up so early today, Mother?" Stefan looked icy and dangerous, as if he were about to fly into a rage. He seemed quite frightening.

Francine, despite her boldness, immediately became timid. She pursed her lips and said, "Of course. You know I'm older now. I can't sleep much. I just happened to wake up early today."

She breathed in, feeling some lingering fear.

Fortunately, Stefan interrupted her in time before she blabbed about the truth.

If she revealed the whole truth, he would hate her! That, and everyone would suffer.

Renee might even take revenge on the Hunt family, given her temper. Francine might never get to meet Adie and Abby.

In comparison, the current superficial peace was better despite there being some regrets. Renee didn't stop them from taking Adie and Abby to Hunt Manor, either. Maintaining the current situation was probably the best ending for Renee and Stefan.

"You must try, even if you can't sleep much. People can't think straight if they don't have enough sleep. You'll lose control of yourself and blather nonsense. If anything happens, it'll get troublesome."

Although Stefan sounded indifferent, he couldn't hide the fierceness gleaming in his eyes. He was trying to warn Francine.

"Yes, you're right. I'm still confused, so I didn't think straight. I'll sleep in." Francine started sweating. She waved awkwardly, and tried to escape that oppressive scene.

However, Renee felt that there must be something fishy, especially given the way they behaved. She immediately stopped Francine, frowning.

"Mrs. Hunt, what did you want to say just now? Go on. Don't let others interrupt or threaten you," she said solemnly.

"You got me wrong! I wasn't interrupted or threatened. I just suddenly came to my senses and realized we were talking about different things, so I won't talk about that..." Naturally, Francine stubbornly refused to admit to it.

She looked in the direction of Timothy's room, and whispered, "I don't know why you two are tangled up again, but I'm used to it now. I don't want to ask much about it. After all, it's never certain between you two. You get back together and break up from time to time. If you can't come up with a way to handle your relationship, don't get tangled together. You even brought this problem home. If your grandfather sees this, he won't be able to take it!" Francine knew she couldn't meddle in their business, and decided to let them handle it. It was their business how it ended. She wouldn't ask about it, either.

The only thing she was worried about was how their uncertain relationship would affect Timothy.

His health was deteriorating these years. He was deeply worried about his disappointing grandson and precious granddaughter-in-law. Regardless if they made up with each other or separated, it would affect his mood.

Francine didn't want them to alert Timothy before they settled their problems.

"Mother, stop saying that. It doesn't sound nice." Stefan frowned, quite speechless.

Francine was the First Lady of Beach City. She should be elegant and noble, but she sounded quite vulgar.

"Was I wrong? What else if not that

between men and women? You guys are just more energetic than others since you got tangled up with each you

other for so many years. Isn't it tiring?"

Francine ignored her identity and image, and complained about what she had long wanted to complain

about. It eased her mind.

Then, she brushed past Renee and quickly returned to her room.

She was in a hurry as she wanted to keep the truth a secret. That, and she felt like a third wheel between Stefan and Renee. It was too much, so she felt that it was best to leave early.

"Hey..." Stefan began.
