Chapter 2270 "Uh, well..."

Suddenly, Francine found it hard to tell Stefan the truth.

After all, she knew better than anyone how much he loved Renee. However, Renee was going to marry another man. It must be a big blow for Stefan.

"What's wrong?" Stefan narrowed his eyes and studied Francine, who was acting weird.

"Nothing! Let's eat. It's the New Year. Let's eat together." Alexander found it cruel to expose the news to Stefan since it was the family reunion day, so he changed the topic of the conversation.

"Fine." Stefan stopped raising questions and walked straight toward the dining table.

Francine watched his back and hesitated. She was about to speak up when Alexander held her wrist. "Calm down." Alexander whispered to her, "Let's eat first. Don't ruin the New Year for him."

"Yes, you're right. I should calm down."

After some contemplation, she felt that Alexander was considerate. She nodded and decided to wait until after the

New Year.

It was a grand feast.

Usually, the Hunt Manor would be very lively during the New Year. All the members of the Hunt family would attend the party.

However, Timothy disliked noise this year. It might be because he was getting older. He wanted to have a quiet dinner with just his close family members.

Hence, there were only four people at the dining table though it was the New Year. It appeared rather quiet and cheerless.

When it was time, Timothy slowly came downstairs while using a walking stick to support himself.

After a heart transplant surgery a few years ago, he was considered quite strong and healthy. He would be fine as long as he was calm and strictly followed the routines arranged by his therapist.

Alexander and Francine exchanged looks and agreed to keep the marriage between Renee and Justin from both Stefan and Timothy.noveldrama

If not, things would get very troublesome if Timothy learned about that. If it affected his health, it would get more troublesome.

"Grandpa." When Stefan saw Timothy come downstairs, he politely bowed to Timothy and considerately walked over to support the latter.

Recently, their relationship got better. Timothy gradually accepted the fact that Stefan and Renee had gotten a divorce, but he still felt that they sincerely loved each other and would reconcile with each other one day.

Thus, he took an indirect means. He wanted to persuade Stefan to win Renee back. Then, they could remarry each other.

"Good boy." After taking his seat, Timothy patted the back of Stefan's hand gently. "It's the New Year. Don't you find something is lacking here?"

"What's lacking?" Stefan calmly questioned.

"Well..."
