---
It was one of those strange, almost surreal moments that left everyone around Renee questioning reality itself. There he was — Stefan Hunt, the formidable president of Hunt Enterprise, a man whose very name once made rivals tremble — practically skipping toward the backyard like an excited child let loose in a candy store. And for what? A doghouse. A literal doghouse.
Margaret stood frozen, her jaw slightly agape as she watched the scene unfold before her eyes. She turned to Renee, her expression a mixture of complete bewilderment and genuine concern. One question burned on her lips, and she finally voiced it with complete seriousness.
"Why is Mr. Hunt so happy to stay in the doghouse? Did they remove a part of his brain during the surgery?"
The question hung in the air, delivered with such earnest confusion that it would have been comical under any other circumstances.
Renee, sitting silently behind her dark sunglasses, could only shake her head in confusion. Even she, who had known Stefan longer than anyone, couldn't understand his behavior. The man had been unconscious after a major surgical procedure, and the very first thing he did upon waking up was to rush to her side. And now, he was thrilled at the prospect of sleeping in a structure made for their four-legged companions.
"I don't know why he's suddenly become so shameless," Renee admitted, and there was a hint of genuine frustration in her voice. "I couldn't get rid of him."
Margaret raised an eyebrow, studying Renee's face carefully. She had been with Renee for a long time, and her loyalty was absolute. Her opinion of Stefan had always been a direct reflection of Renee's feelings. If Renee hated him, Margaret would hate him too. If Renee welcomed him, Margaret would roll out the red carpet.
"Do you want me to be the bad guy and drive him out?" Margaret offered, her tone sharp and ready for action. She wasn't afraid to confront Stefan Hunt or any man who caused her beloved Ms. Ren any grief.
But Renee shook her head slowly, an unknown emotion flickering behind those impenetrable sunglasses. "Just let him be. I want to see what tricks he has up his sleeve..."
The truth was, Renee hadn't made this decision lightly. It wasn't born from lingering affection, nor from weakness. It was a calculated, thoughtful choice made with her children's safety at the forefront of her mind.
"The kids are still so young, but I'm blind now," Renee continued, her voice steady but heavy with the weight of her circumstances, "and you're getting old. Plus, Quinton isn't back yet. If our enemies come, we're powerless against them. I think we might as well keep Stefan around."
It was a bitter pill to swallow — admitting that the man who had broken her heart so many times might now be her best line of defense. But she had reached that point in her life where pride meant less than protecting her family.
Margaret nodded approvingly at Renee's logic. It was sound, even if she didn't fully like the idea. Still, one question nagged at her, and she asked it gently, "Do you want him to stay? Will his existence affect your mood?"
Renee's lips curled into a faint, almost unreadable smile. "It doesn't matter since I can't see him."
It was a simple answer, but it carried so much complexity. She couldn't see him with her eyes anymore, but she could still feel his presence, sense his movements, hear his voice. The blindness didn't shield her from the man himself.
"I think it's good for Mr. Hunt to stay if he sincerely wants to protect this family..." Margaret let out a long sigh, her aging heart filled with concern. She had seen too much over the years, watched too many cycles of hope and heartbreak repeat themselves. "I just don't know how long he can protect his family. Didn't he do the same in the past but only for a short while? If he suddenly leaves again, I'm afraid you and the kids will be let down."
Margaret's words struck at something deep and painful. Yes, Renee and Stefan did have their moments of tender love and affection — brief respites where it seemed like they might finally make it work. But those moments always ended the same way: with Stefan walking away, leaving destruction and heartbreak in his wake. Even if Renee could steel herself against that pain, Margaret couldn't bear to see the children suffer through it too.
"I guess it won't be for long..." Renee said, her face hardening into a stony expression behind her dark sunglasses. She had already managed to steel her heart against expectations. "Hunt Enterprise is about to face a crisis, and he can't lay idle for long. Well, we'll just let him be, and I won't be let down since I don't have any expectations of him."
And she meant every word of it. For the past two years, the powerful families of Beach City had undergone dramatic transformations. The mighty had fallen, and the rising stars had claimed their places. Even the Hunt family, long considered untouchable, was not immune to the shifting tides of power and fortune.
The Great Eight of Beach City was due for a reshuffle, and such changes never came without bloodshed — metaphorical or otherwise. Hunt Enterprise would become a target, a prize for other ambitious families to fight over and tear apart. And then there was Jovan, a man whose motives were always shrouded in layers of darkness and cunning. Renee knew that nothing was stopping him from making his move when the time came.
All these thoughts churned in her mind, not for herself, but for Stefan. Despite everything, the news worried her deeply. And more than that, she understood something fundamental about Stefan Hunt: his duty to his family name and his company would always come first. He couldn't stay here forever, no matter how much he might wish to.
Alas, Ms. Ren, that's the sad truth..." Margaret said, her voice laced with sorrow. She wanted to help Renee, to shield her from all the pain and uncertainty that seemed to follow her wherever she went, but she didn't know how. All she could do was stand by her side and weather the storms together.
A long pause stretched between them before Renee made her final decision known.
"F'll go help Mr. Hunt clean up a room. After all, we can't let him stay in the doghouse..."
Margaret could barely suppress a small, knowing smile at those words. Though Renee tried to appear disinterested and detached, her actions spoke volumes. She was worried about Stefan's health and well-being, even if she would never admit it out loud. He had just undergone major surgery, and instead of resting like a sensible person, he had rushed straight over to see her and the children. That took a certain amount of dedication — and perhaps a touch of madness.
Margaret realized she actually felt a little sorry for Stefan. The mighty head of Hunt Enterprise, ready to face an impending corporate war, his body still healing from surgical wounds, and he was prepared to take shelter in a doghouse just to be close to the woman he loved. It was both ridiculously proud and unbelievably pitiful at the same time.
As Margaret made her way to the backyard to prepare a proper room for the unexpected guest, she couldn't help but wonder how this chapter of their complicated story would unfold. Would Stefan succeed in melting Renee's frozen heart once more? Or would this be another brief interlude, destined to end in heartbreak and abandonment?
The answers, she knew, would only come with time. But one thing was certain — with Stefan Hunt determined to stay, nothing in this already complicated household would be the same again.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
What a beautifully layered chapter this was! The conversation between Renee and Margaret captured so much emotion in such a subtle, understated way. You can feel the weight of Renee's past heartbreaks in every word she says, even as she tries to maintain her detached demeanor. The irony isn't lost on us either — Stefan, the billionaire president, happily running to a doghouse to be near his family is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. Margaret's loyalty shines through beautifully, and we get to see that Renee's coldness isn't cruelty; it's self-preservation born from pain.
The chapter masterfully sets up the coming storm: Stefan's impending battles, his need to leave again, and the fragile hope that his time here will be different. Renee's line about not being able to see him absolutely breaks my heart — it's the perfect shield she's built around herself, but we know behind those sunglasses there's still a woman who cares deeply.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
Stefan won't just settle for a cozy room — expect him to become hands-on in his attempts to protect and reconnect with Renee and the children. But with Hunt Enterprise on the edge of a crisis, and Jovan potentially lurking in the shadows, it won't be long before Stefan is pulled away from this moment of domestic peace. I predict we'll see an unexpected visitor or unsettling news that forces Stefan to reveal his true intentions, and Renee might not be as unaffected as she pretends to be. The storm is coming, and this family is right in its path.
