The children yed while their parents made dinner.


    Both Stefan and Renee were not good at cooking, so they agreed to do a simple seafood barbecue.


    It only involved coating the seafood in a sauce and roasting them on the fire, so it seemed simple enough...


    until they actually started cooking.


    The first challenge was making the fire.


    There were no charcoal or burners on the ind, so they could only use wood to make a fire.


    Stefan and Renee spent a lot of time picking branches and palm leaves around the ind, and forgot all about the two children while doing so.


    Renee was not too worried about the children since they had grown up on Sun Ind-they were good at swimming, and had more survival skills than the other children from growing up on an ind. "Have you ever considered giving the children to me or having one parent raise one child? That seems fairer." Stefan asked suddenly as he collected palm leaves.


    "What did you say?" Renee thought she had misheard him and looked at him in disbelief.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    "T know it''s difficult for you to consider, but it is an option.


    That way, they''ll have both a father and a mother.


    You won''t have to find them another father then.


    What do you think?" Stefan exined reasonably.


    He seemed indifferent, but he was actually quite bothered when Renee suggested finding a new father for the children.


    He knew he had no right to meddle in her ns, so after some deliberation, he came up with what he felt was a fairpromise.


    Stefan''s words, however, did nothing but enrage Renee.


    "Stefan, how could you even have the nerve to suggest something like that? Do you think you can humiliate me just because I''ve tolerated you?" Renee threw the branches on the ground and stormed over to Stefan, looking icy.


    "Don''t test my patience! I will fight you if it everes to that." "IT wasn''t trying to humiliate you..." Stefan sounded helpless.


    "I just don''t want you to find another man to rece me." "Well, you''re wrong." Renee chuckled bitterly.


    "I''m not trying to rece you with another man -I just think that the children and I need a new patriarch.


    Who do you think you are? Do you think you''re perfect? Do you think I can''t find someone to rece you?" Stefan instantly fell silent.


    Renee''s words were hurtful but true- stefan wasn''t a good man, and he had no right to stop her if she wanted to find another man to rece him.


    "Don''t even dream of taking any one of the kids!" Renee Said firmly paused briefly then added, "But I won''t stop you from meeting them.


    As for your rtionship with them, it depends on you " Even if she hated stefan she would not take away her children''s right to spend time with their father.  However, she was confident that their stepfather might surpass their father if she did find one for them.


    Meanwhile, away from Stefan and Renee, Abby was panicking.


    "Adie? Adie, where are you?"
