Chapter 1513
Stefan was not feeling cold, but he felt that Margaret might know something. After all, she was around Francine’s age, and she had been working for the Everhearts for many years. If anything had happened, surely she would know about it.
“Yeah, I’m feeling a bit cold.” Stefan got up and opened the door.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Hunt—Ms. Ren can be stubborn sometimes. Maybe she’s mad at you, so she made you sleep in the storeroom. Let me give you another blanket so you won’t be cold.” While talking, Margaret carefully laid out a blanket for Stefan.
“Margaret, may I know how long you’ve been working for the Everheart family?”
Margaret stopped, then smiled and asked, “Why are you asking?”
“No, it’s just that I find you very responsible and diligent. It’s rare to find someone so loyal to a family even after so many years.”
“Ah, you flatter me. It’s because Renee’s parents were very nice, and they regarded me as their child. I’m just repaying their kindness.”
“I heard from Renee that your ancestors had excellent medical skills, and your father is also a famous doctor. You probably have exceptional medical skills too. I’m sure you have better prospects than being a helper here, but you work here without complaints. It’s very inspiring.”
“Don’t listen to Ms. Ren’s boasting. I can only heal trivial illnesses, so I think it’s more suitable for me to serve people. What’s more… Ms. Ren has long regarded me as her family, so it’s enough that I can take care of her, Adie, and Abby for the rest of my life.” Margaret didn’t know what had gotten into Stefan. She thought about it for a while, then added,” Just ask me if there’s anything you want to know, Mr. Hunt. If I know the answer, I’ll tell you.”
“Okay, Margaret. You’re really smart.” Stefan sighed, feeling awkward. He had wanted to chat with her a little to make her feel comfortable so she would tell him what he wanted to know, but now he just looked silly.
“Haha! It’s not that I’m smart-you’re just not good at being devious.” After laying the blanket out, Margaret turned around and smiled at Stefan. “Go ahead and ask me what you want to know.”
“I would like to know if… Renee’s late father did anything special while he was alive?” After much deliberation, Stefan tried to put it as politely as possible. He couldn’t just ask her if Renee’s father had cheated on her mother; Margaret
would think he was crazy and complain to Renee about him before kicking him out.
“Special things?” Baffled, Margaret elaborated, “Well, he was honest and kind. He did special things everyday like
donating to charities and volunteering. Plus, he helped a lot of people, but I guess that’s nothing special since it was just his character.”
“No, I’m sure he was a great man. What I meant is… his love life. Was there anything special about it?”
“He and Mrs. Everheart loved each other very much. Didn’t I tell you this morning? Did you think he had wronged Mrs. Everheart?”
“No, I’m just asking. If he was a loyal man, I would like to learn from him!” Stefan scrambled for an excuse in panic.
“I see…” Margaret’s expression turned solemn. “Then I think you’d better not learn from him.”
