“Then you two have agreed to lie to me!” Timothy saw straight through their n, and sighed deeply.


    “You know I won’t live for long, so you decided to put on an act with him to avoid having any regrets?”


    “No, Grandpa. You’ve overthinking it!” Renee protested.


    “I know your personality, Ren. You’ve always put others before yourself, so it’s not surprising that you’d


    do something like this. As much as I hope you and Stefan will return to the way you both were before,


    you must forgive him, fall in love with him again, and be content with him first.”


    After advising them, the old man said seriously, “Look into my eyes and tell me you’ve forgiven him and


    fallen in love with him again.”


    “I…” Renee unconsciously looked away from his intense gaze as guilt consumed her, and nced at


    Stefan for assistance. “You should ask him, Grandpa. He is aware of everything.”


    “I knew you wouldn’t believe me. Fortunately, I came prepared.” Stefan scoffed, then pulled out a


    document from his pocket and proudly said, “This is our marriage certificate. We wouldn’t have gone


    this far if we were acting.”


    “Show it to me!” Francine’s eyes widened as she took the certificate and carefully inspected it. She


    then jumped into Alexander’s arms and cried out happily, “Finally, our son is married again! What


    wonderful news!”


    Alexander, too, couldn’t believe it and took the certificate from his wife. He looked at it for a moment,


    then nodded. “The words are clear, so it’s probably real.”


    “Let me see it.” Timothy frowned and adjusted his reading spectacles as he perused it.


    The enormous living room instantly became silent.


    His gloomy countenance faded after a while, and a big smile bloomed on his face. “This is fantastic!


    Today is a lucky day for the Hunts. I can now let go of my life’s regrets!”

    He was certain that the marriage certificate was genuine, and based on his knowledge of Renee, he


    knew she wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of putting on a show merely to make him happy.


    ‘Then there is only one possibility left: she has finally considered everything and chosen to forgive


    Stefan.’ Timothy pondered.


    “You two have finally matured. Take excellent care of the kids and have a happy life together in the


    future. Don’t argue anymore, and don’t bring up previous wrongs. If not, my old spirit will not be at


    peace…”


    He took Renee’s and Stefan’s hands and sped them together, saying solemnly, “I want you two to


    make a promise in front of me. Promise me that you will never break up again. If you do, I, as a


    witness, will die tragically!”


    Everyone was terrified by his statement.


    “What is this nonsense, Dad? Don’t be so mncholic on such a nice day,” Alexanderined.


    Timothy ignored him and waited for Stefan and Renee to agree. “If it’s true love, you wouldn’t be afraid


    to make the promise.”


    “I’m not afraid.” Stefan’s steely eyes were fixed on Renee as he spoke determinedly, “I, Stefan,


    Renee’swful husband, promise to be responsible for her for the rest of my life and to never break up


    with her again.”


    “Good man.” Timothy was relieved that Stefan had finally realized his mistake. He then turned to


    Renee enthusiastically. “It’s your turn now.”
