Stefan’s gaze was unreadable, distant like the surface of a frozen lake — calm, yet hiding a world of depth beneath. When his mother Francine and faithful assistant Elijah pressed him about his memory, he answered simply but with startling clarity.
"Yes, I remember everything."
The words hung in the air. But before the joy could settle into the room, Stefan added something strange: "To be more specific, I've only remembered the happy memories. The unhappy memories are quite blurry now."
There was no bitterness in his tone, no lingering anger. Just quiet acceptance. But why? Why only happiness? Why had the pain become so faint? The answer was rooted in his own deliberate choice — because all those years with Renee had drained him. Their journey was a stormy one, filled with trials that weighed on his heart like iron chains. He had been exhausted by them all, and when his mind began to piece itself back together, he had unconsciously locked away the sorrow, keeping only the light.
Francine, however, was not interested in his inner philosophy. Her mind was racing, heart thumping with renewed hope. Seeing Adie earlier had made everything feel so real — she wanted her grandchildren close, every single day. So she cut straight to the heart of the matter.
"What's your plan now?" she asked, her voice direct, decisive.
Stefan blinked, almost surprised. "I don't have any," he replied bluntly.
That answer hit Francine like a bucket of ice water. Her emotions flared instantly. "What do you mean? Don't you want to win Renee back? Do you want your children to call another man ‘father’? You might be able to accept that, but I can't!" She huffed and turned her face away, frustration coloring every word.
Oh, how disappointed she was with her own son in that moment! He was a man of business, fierce and unstoppable in the boardroom. But when it came to love, he moved like a cautious mouse. Her husband had always been timid in matters of the heart, and apparently his son had inherited that same hesitance. If Stefan had even half of her own boldness, Francine thought darkly, he would have already fought his way back to Renee and given her a dozen more grandchildren by now!
A quiet cough broke into her thoughts.
"Umm, Madam... are you saying that you hope Mr. Hunt wins Ms. Everheart back?" Elijah asked tentatively, peeking at her from his corner.
"Why not? He remembered his past, so he can't just ignore it!" Francine sounded righteous — the kind of righteousness that only a mother who desperately misses her grandchildren can summon.
Elijah scratched his head in genuine bafflement. "But didn't you learn from a fortune-teller that Ms. Everheart and Mr. Hunt aren't compatible and something bad would happen to them if they got together? Didn't you always oppose them being a couple?"
He was completely thrown off. Just a few days ago, this woman had been fire and brimstone against the reunion, using the fortune-teller's prophecy as her shield. Now she was acting as if none of that ever happened. What had changed in such a short time?
Francine waved her hand dismissively, as if shooing away a fly. "Ah, that's just superstition. Who would believe that? Plus, I can always get some experts to resolve their incompatibility. They might be like fire and water, but I can just get Stef to wear something to ward that off, can't I?"
Her words were confident, almost too confident. In truth, Francine knew very little about metaphysics or destiny or the mystical arts. But she remembered what the fortune-teller had warned all too well. Yet she also believed that where there is love, there is always a way. Obstacles existed to be demolished, barriers to be torn down. If there was even a flicker of lingering affection between Stefan and Renee, she would find someone, anyone, to remove every cosmic roadblock standing in their path. She didn't know how much love remained between her son and his ex-wife — Stefan always wore a sorrowful mask, and Renee had been coolly distant last time they met — but perhaps... just perhaps, they could find their way back to each other.
Her eyes turned serious, meeting Stefan's gaze with an intensity that made him pause.
"Be frank with me, Stef — do you want to get back with Renee?"
The room seemed to hold its breath. Stefan frowned, looked away, and slowly opened his mouth. "I..."
But before he could force out an answer — before the fragile truth could be spoken — Francine quickly interrupted him with a wave of her hand. "It's okay, I won't force you to answer since you've just recovered!"
Ah, but she was lying, to him and to herself. She wasn't ready to hear a "no." She didn't want him to destroy the hope she was currently rebuilding brick by brick. And she knew that so much depended on whether Renee would accept him again. Still, seeing her son hesitate hurt her more than she let show. She pondered for a while, then an idea lit up her face.
"If you're worried about your incompatibility, I'll go to The Soul Rocks to ask the expert there to help you. I'll make sure to get rid of all obstacles for you."
Those words sparkled with maternal devotion. She was willing to humiliate herself, to beg, to pay any price, just to clear her son's path back to love and family.
Elijah looked at her with admiration, giving her a big thumbs-up. "That's a great idea, Madam Francine." Then he shifted his attention to Stefan, his voice warm and reassuring. "Please rest well, Mr. Hunt. We'll try and help you settle Ms. Everheart's issue and the company affairs. For now, the most important thing is for you to rest well and get better."
For just a moment, the atmosphere felt almost cozy — a fragile harmony woven from hope, love, and well-intentioned schemes. Francine allowed herself a small smile, already planning her trip to The Soul Rocks. Perhaps soon, all the stars would align.
But fate has a cruel sense of timing.
The comfortable silence was shattered when a bodyguard came rushing into the room, his face pale, his eyes wild with panic. His heavy footsteps pounded against the floor like a drumbeat of impending doom. Every head in the room turned toward him immediately. Francine's smile vanished. Elijah tensed. Even Stefan's carefully controlled expression flickered with unease.
What could possibly have alarmed him so deeply? What news was so terrifying that it broke through the quiet sanctuary of that space?
One thing was certain — peace never lasts long in this world of broken love and ancient secrets. The storm was gathering again, and the room braced for impact.

Oh, my dear readers, what a scene we've just witnessed! This chapter was such a beautiful rollercoaster of emotion. I couldn't help but admire Francine here — even though she was once so stubbornly superstitious, as a mother, her love was unmistakable. She was ready to tear down heaven and earth for her son's happiness, desperately clinging to the hope that her grandchildren would always stay in her life. Her swift turn from opposing Renee to boldly planning to fix their incompatibility was both comical and touching. And Stefan's quiet, tormented honesty about only remembering the happy times hurt my heart — because it's so painfully human to bury the sorrows we can no longer bear. I truly want to give both of these grown-ups a gentle shake and yell, "Just tell each other how you feel!" This chapter titillates with possibilities, then stabs our excitement with that cliffhanger at the end — my heart literally jumped when the bodyguard burst in! What could possibly have gone wrong now? I am on the edge of my seat, deeply invested!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
Next Chapter Prediction: Based on this chilling turn of events, I believe the sudden intrusion has to do with something much larger than a personal squabble — perhaps a serious threat to Stefan's company, an accident involving someone close to Renee or Adie and Lina, or, even more troubling, some new discovery about the mysterious forces behind the fortune-teller's prophecy. Could it be that an unexpected visitor has arrived with shocking news about Renee, throwing Stefan into action and finally pushing him out of his indecision? Or perhaps the shadow from the past that was the source of the family's misfortunes has resurfaced, forcing Stefan to shift his focus from love to survival. Either way, I predict Stefan will be jolted out of his cautious shell in the next chapter — and his true feelings for Renee may finally come roaring to the surface when he faces the possibility of losing something even more precious than his memories.
