Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 1511

The subsequent content of the diary was normal, and there was nothing more about Stefan's mother. Most of it was

about Renee's family, and from those entries, Stefan could picture Renee's childhood. Renee lived in a very loving

family. Her parents were gentle, and they spent a lot more time with her compared to other parents in rich families.

[X month, X Day. It's sunny, and I'm feeling good. Today, Ren turns three, and she's getting cuter every day.

Compared to the other kids, she loves playing with Legos, and she even assembled over five hundred Lego blocks

in two hours! I feel like she's going to be an expert in programming.]

[X month, X Day. It's sunny, and I'm excited. Ren is turning twelve today, and my wife said that she's now a young

woman. No wonder she kept hiding in the washroom today. As her father, I don't know what to feel. It just seems

like girls are bound to suffer more in this world. I'm worried sick at the thought of her graduation, wedding, and

childbirth. I just hope she'll get a good husband who will take care of her when I'm gone."

Stefan inhaled deeply, his eyes tearing. He felt guilty knowing that he hadn't been a good husband to Renee-he had

failed to protect her and give her a peaceful life. "Mr. Everheart, I'm sorry for letting you down. But don't worry, I'll

make it up to her. I'll protect her well from now on," Stefan promised, closing his eyes.

The thick notebook was filled with a lot of notes, but Stefan didn't find anything else about Francine until he reached

the last page. Strangely, half of the page was torn off, but the remaining half of the page revealed a shocking truth.

[I got a letter, and to my surprise, it was from Francine. I didn't dare to read it for a long time, but when I finally did,

I regretted not reading it sooner. In the letter, Francine told me a secret that she had kept buried deep in her heart.

I learned what a scumbag I was and how much trouble I've caused her. She was actually pregnant the year we

broke up, and the child is mine. His name is...]

Stefan's head throbbed when he saw that torn page, and he didn't know what to do. Stefan's mother and Renee's

father had had a child together, and the child's identity was a mystery that only Francine and Renee's late father

knew. Stefan could either search for the torn page or Francine's letter... or he could speak to his mother.

Stefan stopped overthinking and called Francine, unable to bear the suspense.

It was past ten o'clock at night. Francine was wearing a facial mask and was about to go to bed when she got

Stefan's call. Francine answered the call and asked urgently, "What’s the matter, son? Did you make peace with

Renee? Are you getting along well with her? Did anything bad happen?"

"I'm doing great, and Ren... is good too. But I found something." Stefan sounded somber.

"I knew it-bad things will happen if you get together with her. You both might be incompatible, but luckily, I got two

charms from the fortune teller. You and Renee should wear them to stop the bad luck," Francine said

enthusiastically. Nowadays, she started to believe in superstitions, and wanted to eliminate all the obstacles

between Stefan and Renee.

“That's fine. We're good, and we always will be. I just wanted to ask you..." Stefan hesitated briefly, then asked,

"What was your relationship with Renee's father?"
