After Stefan had given his warning, the party then went on quite harmoniously, and the jeering and


    sneering were gone as well.


    Renee used to upy an even lower status than stray dogs in the Hunt family, but she had risen to the


    pinnacle as if she was the main star of the show. Elders who used to hold her in contempt now


    surrounded her and praised her incessantly.


    This helped her understand a certain truth—how popr and respected you were with your inws had


    nothing at all to do with how friendly and sociable you were or how good you were at your career


    because, at the end of the day, it all depended on how your husband treated you.


    When your husband doted on you, it did not matter howzy or unruly you were. When all had been


    said and done, you would be his one in a million, an irreceable wife and a remarkable daughter-in-


    law.


    But when your husband neglected you, it did not matter how much you abided by the rules or even if


    you werepletely perfect. In the end, you would still be the most pitiful one who deserved absolutely


    no respect from anyone!


    Once the party was over, Renee was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Her whole body slumped


    down on the couch, and she stared listlessly at the luxurious ceiling above.

    “Tired?” Stefan asked gently as he wrapped an arm around her slim waist.


    “What do you think?” Renee pinched her cheeks which felt sore, and grumbled, “I’ve been faking a


    smile at your rtives all day! How could I not be exhausted?”


    Those rtives of Stefan were masters of treating people differently based on their status and


    importance. As soon as they realized that Renee’s status in the Hunt family had risen to the top, they


    all surrounded her to tter her, which made it all the more exhausting for her to deal with all the


    attention.


    “You did great…” Stefan massaged her shoulders with his long fingers and lovingly told her, “From now


    on, you can smile whenever you like. If you don’t feel like smiling, then don’t force yourself. You’re


    Stefan Hunt’s wife. You can do whatever you want. You don’t need to worry about what others might


    think of you.”


    His words made Renee feel warm and gooey inside. Her big bright eyes twinkled, then she climbed on


    top of Stefan and pinned him down, then she stared straight into his eyes and began her interrogation,


    “Mr. Stefan Hunt, your words shocked me. What made you treat me so nicely all of a sudden?”


    “I’ve always wanted to treat you this nicely, but you never gave me the chance. Now that I’ve finally got


    it, you can bet that I’ll seize it and use it well…”


    At this point, Stefan turned over and pinned Renee underneath his body. His thin lips curled into a


    mischievous smile, “Did it move you to tears? Don’t you think I deserve to be handsomely rewarded?”


    “Handsomely reward your *ss… Mmm!”


    Before Renee could finish her sentence, her rosy lips were sealed by his own, and once again, she


    was trapped in passionate convolution.


    Alexander and Francine came downstairs at that very moment and were met with such a scene on the


    couch. Both of them blushed deeply and hesitated to enter the hall where the young couple was


    entangled with each other.


    Alexander asked his wife, “Why didn’t you tell me that the rascal who’s always been so cold and distant


    actually has a passionate side as well?”


    “How could I tell you when I just found out about it myself?” replied Francine.


    “Looks like there’s another submissive man in the Hunt family.”


    “If they keep up at that pace,” said Francine, “we’d better get ready to wee our third grandchild!”


    Renee’s whole body was limp and powerless, and her brain was empty of any thoughts. Stefan had


    been kissing her so violently that she was almost out of breath. The more she resisted, the more


    excited and aggressive he became. Any longer like this, and she would soonpletely lose all self-


    control…


    ‘Damn it,’ she thought, ‘why did no one ever tell her that this frigid iceberg of a man is such an ardent


    lover?!’


    Ever since she agreed to “fake” being in a rtionship with him, this man never left her alone and was


    always kissing and canoodling with her almost twenty-four hours a day.


    ‘Oh god, who would save me from this blissful torment?!’


    Deep amid their heated embroilment, Renee’s misty almond eyes caught sight of Stefan’s parents near


    the staircase. In an instant, she became agitated and kept beating Stefan’s chest, pleading with him,


    “No, Stefan, don’t…”


    Stefan very deftly unbuttoned Renee’s shirt with his long fingers and asked in a hoarse voice, “What


    did you say? I know, you were saying don’t stop, right?”
