"I know I shouldn''t beg you for this, but you''re a good person, so I think I can discuss it with you.”


    Renee was curious now. "Please go on.”


    "It''s about Adie and Abby''s custody—" Francine started, but was immediately interrupted by Renee.


    "No, I''ll never give up custody of them,” Reene said firmly.


    Although Francine had anticipated this, she still felt very aggrieved. "Normally, I wouldn''t give up


    custody of either of them because they''re Hunts at the end of the day...”


    Renee shook her head and argued, "You''re wrong. Biologically, only women''s genes are passed down,


    which means Adie and Abby are Everhearts and don''t have much to do with the Hunt family.”


    Francine frowned petntly andined, "Stop being so stubborn. If this bes a court case,


    the judge will surely give the Hunt family one of the kids.”

    "Fine, go ahead. I have the most outstanding civil attorney who has never lost custody cases like this


    before. Try it if you don''t believe me. The Murphy family won''t be quiet about it too if word gets out,”


    Renee added calmly, pointing out that Francine had more to lose.


    "The Murphy family isn''t important.” Francine waved her hand dismissively and added, "I''ve been


    thinking about it, and if you''re willing to give up custody of the kids, even if it''s one of them, I''ll make


    Stef cancel his engagement with Seraphina and guarantee that he''ll never get married again. He''ll


    focus entirely on raising the child.” After all, he didn''t care about other women, so it would be


    meaningless to ask him to get married. He might as well raise his child which would give him


    something to focus on and make his life easier too.


    "I''m sorry but I really can''t do that..." Taking a deep breath,


    Renee continued, "Do I love my son any less than you love yours? I love Adie and Abby to the moon


    and back, and I raised them with a lot of love and care. They''re twins and can''t leave each other; you''ll


    be hurting them if you separate them. Have you ever considered their feelings?"


    "I... I..." Francine''s stubborn front immediately crumbled, and she felt humiliated. Renee''s logic made it


    difficult for


    Francine to argue, and the elder woman finally admitted sadly, "I know I''m being selfish, but I love and


    miss them very much. I... I guess I didn''t think this through.”


    Renee sighed when she saw how crestfallen Francine looked, and her heart softened. "If you love and


    miss them, you all can pay them a visit once a month. Is that eptable?”


    “Really?” Francine’s grief turned to joy, and she couldn''t believe that Renee was being so generous.


    "Are you really willing to let me visit them? Can I take them back to the Hunt manor to stay the night


    there?” After Stefan had gotten injured, his recovery had taken six months, and the Hunts had never


    met Adie and Abby during that time. Not only had Renee prohibited it, but Quinton’s men always


    escorted the children and no one could approach them. Besides that, Stefan couldn''t be stimted with


    past memories while he was recovering, so they also purposely stopped mentioning the children.


    However, things were much better now, so it would be best if the Hunts and Everhearts could get along


    and raise the children together.


    "Sure, but only if they stay for a day or two," Renee agreed after a brief contemtion. As a mother,


    she was happy to see more people doting on her children as long as they were sincere about it.
