The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Chapter 1797

Renee followed Adie to the bedroom on the second floor quickly.

Adie smoothly turned on the computer and opened his email inbox, ponting at a recent email excitedly. "This is the email I just got from Daddy. He asked Abby and me to be good and listen to you, and said he'll be back after settling his things."

Renee stared at the email with mixed feelings. After taking a deep breath, she leaned towards the screen and read the email. It was roughly what Adie had said-Stefan had told the children that he was safe, asked them to be good, and told them not to anger Renee. He also promised that he would be back soon. The email had been sent from Stefan's private email.

Both Adie and Abby didn't know what was going on between Renee and Stefan, and were just happy at the thought of having a family reunion. They hugged Renee. "Mommy, I knew that you and Daddy must have left suddenly because of something. We can be a happy family again soon!"

Renee felt uneasy, and touched their faces, saying hesitantly, "If... I said if your daddy won't come back, or even if he does, I might not be with him... Can you accept that?" It wasn't the first time the children had faced such a situation, but while they unconditionally supported her back then, she didn't know how they would be after living with Stefan. Stefan had taken great care of them when Renee was blind, and it made Renee seem like an extremely irresponsible mother. She didn't know if she could surpass Stefan's position in their hearts. novelbin

"Daddy won't come back?" Abby pouted, looking sad. "But didn't Daddy email Adie and say that he would soon be home?"

"Umm..." After a pause, Renee said gently, "Sometimes people don't mean what they say. What if he doesn't come back even if he promised to? I just want you to be mentally prepared so you won't be

heartbroken if he doesn't come back."

"No, I won't be!" Adie clenched his fists, scowling. "If Daddy breaks his promise, he can't be our daddy. He can just go. After all, it wouldn't be the first time he abandoned us. I won't be sad."

His answer weighed hard on Renee's mind. She could tell that both her children relied on Stefan, and cared about him a lot. If Stefan abandoned them again, they would be heartbroken, so Renee couldn't fall out with Stefan. She had become used to that kind of separation, but the children were still young. They shouldn't have to suffer through this...

"It's okay, kids. It's normal to be sad. If that day comes, we have to accept it. We can cry for him, but we also have to embrace a life without him." Renee had to prepare her children because she didn't know what Stefan would do. If Stefan decided to leave, the only thing she could do is teach her children to be brave.
