Francine’s words nearly scared Seraphina to death. She gulped, trying to exin herself right away. “I-


    It’s not like that, Aunt Francine! It’s just that the person who gave me this recipe has a… special


    identity. I don’t think she should be near Stef at all…”


    “Really?” Francine asked doubtfully. She wondered, ‘The person wants to save Stef, but can’t go near


    him. Isn’t that just a contradictory statement?’


    Seraphina sighed deeply and nced at Stefan. She then leaned closer to Francine and whispered the


    truth to her.


    The mother instantly understood, balling her fists as a conflicted expression appeared on her face.


    Finally, she said, “Whatever, this recipe came from unknown origins, so we shouldn’t put too much


    effort into looking for that person. If that expert was just trying to reel us in with something good, then


    betrays uster, we’d be in trouble.”


    “You’re right, Aunt Francine. I am worried that this person might plot against us, so I didn’t dare to use


    the medicinal tea. Nothinges for free after all – who knows what their intentions are?” Seraphina


    nodded eagerly.


    “Mhm, let’s not look for them,” Francine said absently.


    The two started cooperating with each other, trying their best to make their decision sound reasonable.


    La instantly realized that this expert was indeed quite ‘special’, and chimed into their conversation as


    well, “This medicine isn’t all that great, actually. If the ingredients aren’t measured properly, it could be


    harmful to the body instead. Who knows if this person is trying to do good? We shouldn’t trust them so


    easily.”


    Stefan was silent the entire time, his expression dark and unreadable. He wasn’t stupid, especially


    when the three women had such bad acting skills. This only made him certain that Renee was special


    to him in some way.


    They were not merely ‘afterlife buddies’.


    “Alright, alright, you guys are being too noisy. I’m getting tired, so please give me some space.” The


    man chased them out coldly and shut his eyes.


    “Stef, you…” Even though Francine wanted to talk to him, his sudden hostility made her keep her


    distance. “Okay, son, get some rest. I’ll find a way to cure your eyes.”


    Francine and La then left the room rather unwillingly.


    Seraphina let out a sigh of relief, her expression content. ‘Phew, that was close, we almost got


    exposed. At least we’re done talking about that now. Stefan is quite the trump card, as long as he


    protects me unconditionally, no one in the Hunt family can every a finger on me! Conflict with inws


    is just a myth – conflict is only caused by the husband’s ipetence. As long as a husband is willing


    to defend his wife, no inw would be able to give her a difficult time.’

    “Stef…” Seraphina felt happy as she thought about it, and leaned her head against the man’s shoulder.


    She intended to continue showing him love.


    Unexpectedly, Stefan became rather distant. “You too, give me some space.”


    “What’s wrong, Stef? Are you mad at me for throwing that recipe away?” Seraphina asked quickly.


    “No.” Stefanforted her. “My head is just a little fuzzy, so I’d like to be alone with my thoughts for a


    while.”


    “Your head… is a little fuzzy? Is it because you remembered something?” Seraphina felt her heart jump


    once again.


    “Should I have?”
