Chapter 344
Enter title…
“I mean it literally,” Stefan confessed with an expressionless face and steady breath.
Anyway, the baby and Renee were gone. It did not matter anymore whether the secret was
kept or made public.
“W-what?” Xavier gapped in shock.
Christopher had a similar reaction to Xavier’s. He spent about ten minutes sorting out the
whole story. After a good while, he finally let out a long sigh. “Fan, you’re such a fool. It must
be aggravating.”
Stefan said coldly, “I’m fine. My late brother saved my life. I have to give my all to fulfill his
last wish, but unfortunately… I can’t do anything!”
Stefan slammed his fist hard on the table. His eyes were slightly red. It was clear that he felt
very guilty about Tristan.
“Of course you’re fine. It’s your wife who suffered!”
Xavier could not help but fight for Renee. “If you feel responsible for Tristan’s death, so be it,
but why did you have to hurt Renee? You did so much for Briar and her child, but what
about Renee? She was married to you for four years, but you drove her away as soon as
she made a mistake. You…”
“Enough!” Christopher glared at Xavier, telling him to stop.
“Weren’t you urging Fan to divorce Renee? Isn’t it too late to say all these now? Do you
want to make the situation worse? Hasn’t Fan suffered enough?’
“I didn’t mean it that way. I just feel bad for Renee. What has she done wrong? She’s…’
“I can understand Fan!”
Christopher felt bad seeing Stefan’s handsome but sullen face. He said,” Stefan wanted to
give Briar a proper name so her child could have a legitimate identity and grow up in a
healthy family. Besides, he didn’t love Renee at that time. Renee didn’t seem to love him
either. A marriage without love is destined to fail. It was inevitable that she’d leave. Briar and
her child might be the reason that set her early departure in motion…”
Xavier nodded and rubbed his chin. “That’s reasonable. Everyone is a victim and hurt…
However, I don’t agree with what you said about Renee’s feelings for Stefan. Anyone could
tell that Renee was in love with Stefan before!’
“Let’s not talk about the past. Think about how to solve the present.”
Christopher turned to Stefan, who had been silent. He asked, “Fan, have you thought about
it? The child is gone. You probably won’t marry Briar anymore. Will you remarry Renee?”
“Never!” Stefan answered without hesitation. He would rather be unmarried and alone
forever rather than marry the murderer who killed his late brother’s only child. If he
remarried her, he would never live the remainder of his life in peace!
“If so, why bother spending so much effort to search for her? You two have a big grudge
among yourselves. It’s probably best for you to forget her and never see her again.”
Christopher instantly empathized with Renee and said impartially, ’No wonder she simply
vanished. If it were me, I would’ve done the same.”
Xavier raised his hand in agreement. “Stefan, maybe you shouldn’t bother looking for her
anymore. It’s impossible for you two to get back together. If you get involved in her again,
you’ll only suffer more!”
Stefan seemed to be deaf to their words. He suddenly raised his cold eyes and asked them
in a deep voice, “Did I go too far?” “Huh?” Xavier was confused by the question.
