Renee tried to explain. “Grandpa, actually, last night…”
“You don’t have to say anything more, you don’t have to be so shy about it
either. You’re both youngsters after all, even if something did happen between
the two of you, it’s completely normal. I may be old, but I’m not that
conservative. I understand.” Timothy was grinning widely as he cleared his
throat.
“It’s good that the little punk finally came to his senses. This morning, he even
told me that you needed lots of rest after last night, so I shouldn’t disturb you.
He said you could sleep till whatever time you liked.”
Enter title…
Renee blushed, her voice panicked. “Grandpa Timothy, you’ve misunderstood.
Nothing happened between us last night, we-“
“Nothing happened? And yet… you’ve slept in his bed the whole night.” The old
man grinned at her cheekily.
“Well… He… He didn’t lay in bed with me. He was probably building his lego
spaceship, so we really didn’t…” The more Renee tried to explain, the more
guilty she looked.
“Oh child, I understand, alright? Don’t be so shy now. And… I think it’s time that
you stop playing games with him.” Timothy sighed deeply and patted Renee on
the shoulder, his expression serious this time.
“Grandpa Timothy, what do you mean by that?” Renee didn’t quite understand
what he was trying to imply.
“How could you not understand me with that smart mind of yours?” The old man
shook his head, pity on his wrinkled face.
“Ren, we know that Stefan wronged and hurt you in the past, but don’t you think
you’ve hurt him just as much? You’ve put him through so much torture
throughout these years, so are you still not satisfied? I just think it’s time to
settle down now, alright?” Timothy sighed deeply.
“You know, that grandson of mine confided in me for the first time last night. He
said he felt miserable, he had tried doing everything to win you back, but
nothing was working. I couldn’t help but sympathize with him, since I am his
grandfather after all.”
“I know you still love him… Somewhere in your heart, I know you do. So, please
listen to me and stop all of this. Don’t chase him away, or you might regret it
again.”
After hearing Timothy’s words, Renee froze up, but soon found the entire
situation quite humorous.
“Grandpa Timothy, you know I’ve always respected you, because I thought you
were a fair and just person. But it looks like you’re still somewhat biased
towards your own grandson. I can tell you with the utmost certainty that his
‘misery’ is all just an act to push the blame onto me, so that I become the villain
in this story… In my opinion, he’s nothing but a heartless and shameless prick!
How could I possibly still hold love for someone like that?!”
Timothy was able to understand his grandson’s misery and helplessness even
more now. It was simply despairing to realize that someone who once loved you
wholeheartedly had given up on you completely. It was especially painful when
you had developed feelings for them as well, only to realize that it was too late
because you didn’t cherish them from the beginning…
“Ren, whatever you say now doesn’t matter, but I really hope you are telling the
truth. Don’t act as if you don’t care when you really do on the inside. When
you’ve really missed the chance to pursue what your heart desires, you will only
hurt yourself the most.” Timothy’s gaze was sad as he looked at her.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa, I’ve always been an honest girl. My love for Stefan Hunt
died the moment we got a divorce. I’m not trying to play games with him either –
I really want to cut ties with him so that we can find our happiness on our own,”
Renee replied calmly.
“Alright, alright, I won’t try to convince you otherwise. Ah, it’s just a shame that
my grandson’s sincere efforts are going to waste!”
“Relax, Grandpa, your grandson is just playing the victim here. All that sincerity
is just a facade! It’s to hide his bad intentions! He probably just felt annoyed that
you kept urging him to get married, which is why he made you turn to me
instead!” Renee huffed. She figured that she could basically read the man’s
mind by now after spending all those years married to him.
“So, this thing that he told me to give you the moment you wake up… Would this
be considered bad intentions on his end too?” Timothy asked softly as he told
the maid to bring over the Rainbow Glaze that Renee had wanted.
The woman was absolutely shocked to see the beautiful relic, and was unable
to take her eyes off of it for quite some while. ‘Hunt is just… going to give this to
me? But why?
