Renee confessed to Mr. Q about her entanglements with Stefan. She felt he had a right to know about it, regardless
of their relationship.
“I guessed as much.” Mr. Q was not surprised. He nonchalantly asked with a smile, “So, have you decided?”
“I won’t remarry him, let alone give him custody of the two kids.”
Renee looked determined and gazed at the man in front of her intently. She took a deep breath and said with
courage, “So, I decided to get married to you!”
Mr. Q remained stoic to her answer. He said indifferently, “Tell me why you chose me. You just want to keep custody
of the two kids, right?”
Renee fell into a short silence. Then, she shook her head and said solemnly, “I think it’s more than that. I’m
marrying you for way more than the kids.”

“Could it be… Are you attracted to me?”
“I don’t know.” Renee did not refuse Q’s touch. She bit her lips lightly and felt very torn inside. Her feelings were so
complicated that even she herself could not understand her real feelings for him…
“I wouldn’t say I’m in love with you. I wouldn’t say I’ve fallen for you. I just think being with you makes me feel
stable and at home. When I imagine the feeling of home, that’s how it feels.”
“What about Stefan? Have you never felt this way with him?”
“To be honest, I had this feeling when I first met him. He was cold and extremely unapproachable, but strangely
enough, I somehow felt safe around him…”
Renee somehow fell into deep thoughts and smiled in reminiscence. Her first meeting with Stefan came to her
mind. The only sweetness she had had in that relationship came crashing back into her heart like a wrecking ball.
“You wouldn’t have known. I was stupidly in love at that time. The first time I saw him, I already imagined having
children with him. I imagined sitting around with him and our children for dinner, watching TV, and going on trips.”
“When I was married to him, I tried my best to achieve my dream. Who would have thought… I got divorced before
I knew it. Instead, I found this feeling in you.”
Mr. Q listened to Renee’s sad but sweet narrative in silence and did not respond for a long time.
Renee soon realized that she was talking too much and went overboard. She coughed lightly and explained, “Don’t
get me wrong. I don’t feel this way about him anymore. I only feel this way about you, so… I just want to…”
“Fake it until you make it with me?”
Mr. Q hit the nail on the head with his question.
Renee tightened her hand and nodded vigorously. “Well, I want to work in that direction.”
It had been four years, and another four years went by quickly. She had spent most of her life with an unworthy

It might be difficult, but she finally felt the urge to open her heart and take a step forward.
“I see.”
Mr. Q gently cupped Renee’s face. Then, he examined her with his deep, tender, yet complicated gaze.
Renee’s beautiful face was flawless and perfect. She was small and delicate. She might appear soft, but her thin lips
and bright eyes said otherwise. She was not easy to tame, but that was exactly what made her so irresistible.
‘Stefan. Oh, Stefan. You’re the biggest fool in the world. Why did you let down such a great woman and let her run
away?’ thought Q.
“It’s my pleasure to get married to you and fake it until I make it, but… I don’t want you to regret it. You can tell me
your decision a week later.”
Mr. Q stroked Renee’s cheek softly. He was very gentle and patient and treated her like she was the most precious
thing in the world.
