Chapter 2036
Renee frowned; she keenly caught something unusual in Francine's words.
She looked around, and purposely lowered her voice as she asked Francine, "So Stefan has done such a humiliating and bad thing, but it isn't what we think? Was he in a tight spot?"
At first, Renee felt that her choice to divorce was right. The man she fell for wasn't an irresponsible scumbag who indulged in his desires.
She believed firmly that Stefan just wanted to cover up his difficulties, especially given how he suddenly turned so cold and ridiculous. He just wanted to make her hate him on purpose, then separate with her.
Despite trying her hardest for a long time, Renee failed to find whatever it was that troubled him and was deeply disappointed. She once had high hopes for him, so she was unwilling to believe that he had a change of heart.
Francine might be the one who knew Stefan best since she was his mother. Given her words, something that Renee wasn't aware of probably happened.
"Um, well..." Francine hesitated, avoiding Renee's eyes. She didn't know whether she should tell Renee about that or not.
Stefan would rather be labeled as a scumbag and break up with Renee because he didn't want her to get hurt. Naturally, Francine would never tell Renee the truth.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
But as a mother, Francine didn't want her son to be resented and misunderstood by his most beloved woman. He was the most loyal man in the world, but ended up being labeled as a scumbag.
"I don't know what I should say, but you were with Stefan for so many years. I'm sure you understand his character and morality. I'm sure he was forced to make that kind of choice after considering everything. Well, I... don't want anything except for you not to hate him. You can part on good terms and find happiness, and you can love your children wholeheartedly at the same time. Our families can make peace for them, too."
Francine had always been superior, but at the moment, she was quite humble.
As the mother of the son who had cheated on his wife, she knew she had no right to say such high-sounding words.
Despite that, she took the risk of being publicly criticized to strive for a happy ending for the two children, and boldly expressed her wish.
"You're overthinking..." Renee said.
She shook her head, and chuckled.
"I never hate him. I just look down on him. Yes, you're right. We're separated, but I sincerely wish him well. I hope he can spend the rest of his life with Ms. Desrosiers. Plus, our families can get along well for the kids' sake. Still, I hope you can tell me what you know-for the kids' sake. Then, I can explain things properly to them. After all, we don't want to see them regard their father as an irresponsible scumbag who gave up his family."
Renee seemed to be threatening Francine, as she hoped the latter could tell her the truth for the kids' sake.
