Xavier paused, frowning thoughtfully. "You know, it does seem possible. Is Stefan hiding because he''s


    no longer a true man? After all, he jumped off such a high mountain. What if a branch or something


    hurt his private parts? That might be the only reason a man would give up his beloved woman."


    Renee rolled her eyes in exasperation. "If I were Stefan, I would poison you so you wouldn''t be able to


    speak anymore."


    I''m being serious! Sometimes the truth can be crazy!" Xavier rubbed his chin and said seriously, "I have


    to look into this." "And just how do you n to do that?" "I''ll get my men to look into all the fertility


    clinics in Beach City, especially the ones near that vige. I might find some clues then." Xavier took


    out his phone to contact his men.


    Renee sighed deeply. "What a crazy man!" Based on Renee''s understanding of Stefan, the most he


    would do is break up with her if he couldn''t have kids, he wouldn''t pretend to be dead and keep hiding


    like this. Xavier firmly believed that Stefan was alive, so Renee decided to stop looking for


    Stefan. Renee would let him be and would not bother if he wanted toe back or not. She was


    exhausted.


    That night, Renee drove to a fishing vige near Beach City for some rest and time alone. The vige


    looked shabby, but it had a beautiful view of the sea, especially at sunset. It had be a secret spot


    for her to heal when she was young, and no one knew about it, even Leia and the others. She would go


    to that vige alone when she was unhappy in school or when her parents criticized her during her


    childhood. She even went there when she felt wronged after getting married to Stefan. She would sit on


    the empty cliff and watch the waves. At sunset, the clouds would be dyed a deep red, and the beautiful


    view always made her feel much better.


    Renee arrived early in the morning, which was the busiest time in the fishing vige. The fishermen


    always woke up early to fish.

    Ava Joyner saw Renee standing on the beach from afar, and excitedly hurried over to Renee as if she


    was her long-lost child. "Ren, when did you reach? Have you had breakfast? Why didn''t you tell me


    you''reing? Did you forget about me?"


    Renee turned around and saw Ava. Her weathered face was simple and honest, and the olderdy


    was smiling happily. Renee smiled back and said, "It''s been a while, Mrs. Joyner. I wanted to go to your


    ce to grab a bite, but I knew that you and Mr. Joyner woulde here to fish, so I decided to wait


    for you both over here.’ Renee had indeed been waiting for Cole and Ava Joyner there. Whenever she


    came to the vige, she would stay at their house, so she had been banking in money to them every


    year in return for their kindness.


    "There''s no need to be so formal, Ren, our house is your house too. You cane and stay with US


    whenever youe here..." While talking, Ava dusted off her clothes. "Come home. I won''t go fishing


    today; I''ll go back and cook a feast for you." Ava then turned to a nearby fishing boat and yelled,


    "Jeffrey... Jeffrey,e here! Look who''s here!"


    After a few minutes, a tall figure jumped off the boat and walked toward them. Under the dim morning


    light, Renee could see a tanned and muscr young man, his handsome features hidden beneath a


    wide- brimmed fisherman''s hat.
