“You had a brother?” Stefan was a little surprised. This was the first time he’d heard that Renee
actually had a twin brother who didn’t survive.
“Hmph! If my brother were still alive, he’d have beaten you up long ago. You’re only bullying me
because you think I have nobody at home to depend on!” Renee couldn’t resist condemning Stefan
again.
Oftentimes, the marriage quality of a woman greatly correlated with their family situation.
If her family was powerful and could help her husband’s family in a particular way, her in-laws wouldn’t
dare look down on her. Even if her husband didn’t spoil her rotten, they would at least treat each other
with respect. She’d still have a healthy sense of ego.
That explained why Renee was treated so unkindly in the Hunt family back then. Even the maids
walked all over her. It wasn’t because Stefan didn’t love her. Instead, it was because she had nobody to
rely on, and her family wasn’t powerful enough to support her.
“I’m not that vain. Back then, I just didn’t have any feelings for you. Or rather… I purely hated you and
didn’t want to see you. It had nothing to do with your family situation,” Stefan said frankly.
Renee felt a little hurt.
She knew Stefan hated her, but her ego still got bruised when he said it so frankly.
“To be honest, I’ve always been curious about this. If you disliked me that much, why did you agree
with Grandpa Hunt’s request to marry me? Knowing your unbridled personality, I don’t think you’d have
taken his threats seriously!” Renee couldn’t resist asking the question that had bugged her for many
years.
Stefan looked into the distance. After a long moment of silence, he recalled the first time he met
Renee. “That’s because… I felt sorry for you.”
At the time, the Everheart family was going through massive changes. Not long after the passing of
Renee’s biological parents, her grandfather also met his demise.
From a rich young lady who was adored by many, Renee became a helpless orphan with countless
enemies overnight.
“Back then, Grandpa insisted that I returned from Newrest to see you. I remember you were dressed in
plain clothing, and you even had a white flower on your ear. You kept your head down the entire time,
and you didn’t even say a single word…
“You were too scrawny and pale. It felt as if I could lift you with a single finger. You looked no different
from a beggar on the street. Marrying you or not didn’t make a difference. I only did it to save your life.”
Stefan thought he didn’t have any special feelings for Renee. Logically speaking, he should’ve
forgotten about the first time he saw her.
However, now that he recalled the scene, everything felt as vivid as ever. There was still an
indescribably strong emotion somewhere inside him.
Perhaps, he had fallen for her much earlier than he thought…
“Hehe. You actually married me out of pity. Is that it?” Renee never expected this to be the truth.
She wasn’t sure if she ought to praise Stefan for being so kind or feel sorry for her own pitiful situation.
Sometimes, being on the receiving end of pity was even more hurtful than anything else.
She’d rather he did it because he had an ulterior motive and not out of pity.
