Chapter 2273

"How could you!" For a moment, Timothy was rendered speechless. After all, his anxiety was useless since Stefan was calm.

"Forget it. I'm not eating. It's annoying! I'm going upstairs."

Timothy did not want to argue with Stefan since Stefan was already an adult. He could not force Stefan to do anything. Instead, he chose to get away from such annoyance to not ruin the harmony of the New Year.

After he got up and left, Francine braced herself to mediate the situation.

"Your grandpa isn't very healthy. He should rest early. Let's eat. We should enjoy our meal happily no matter how unhappy things are."

Alexander soon gave his cooperation as well when he heard that. He put some food on Stefan's plate and smiled. " Yes, we can't force things in life. Let's enjoy our meal first."

"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry you guys are worried about me. Happy New Year."

Stefan quietly ate and raised his wine glass, toasting to his parents. He looked normal and calm, and was warmer toward them.

However, Francine sensed something wrong with him though he acted fine. He might be bothered by that affair though he appeared indifferent.

However, they could not do anything much at a time like that except for keeping him company.

"Don't be sad. We're still with you no matter what!" Francine raised her wine glass; she could not help but look teary.

Just now, she had wanted to scold Stefan and make him rush to North City to win Renee back.

Yet, she could tell that he did not intend to do so at all.

She knew that he must be heartbroken. Since he held himself back from trying to win Renee back despite such excruciating pain, something greater must be weighing on him. However, she was too timid and ashamed to ask about that.

She feared that Stefan resolutely stopped having anything to do with Renee because he was paying the price for the mistake she and Alexander had made that year.

"Yes, you're right. But I feel that we should make things clear to you..." Alexander cleared his throat and handed the invitation card to Stefan. "You should take a look at this."

"Alexander, why did you show him this? You're going to break his heart!"

Francine considered giving it to Stefan after the New Year. Then, Stefan could decide whether to attend the ceremony or not.

However, Alexander insensibly handed the invitation to him while they were enjoying their meal. No matter how indifferent he was, of course Stefan would be heartbroken when he read the names on the card. Rather than indifferent, he was in truth very passionate.

"It's fine." Stefan accepted the card and read the words with a poker face. He was calm. "It's three days from now. I should be free to attend it."

"Are you going to attend the ceremony?" Francine became agitated and asked eagerly, "Are you going to snatch away the bride? I knew it! I'm sure you're going to do something big!"
