Stefan's masculine features were almost perfect, with deep-set eyes and thick eyelashes. The morning sunlight shone in through the window, producing mottled shadows on his alabaster cheeks. Further down were Stefan's lips. They were always set in a frown, but she found them very kissable and tempting. His neck was slender, and gave way to an Adam's apple that seemed to move slightly as she approached. It was extremely sexy. He was indeed very handsome. Still holding the razor, Renee stared at him as if she was a starving dog who had found a bone. "What's the matter?" Stefan frowned slightly and asked her in confusion. He had sharp hearing, so he had noticed her rapid breathing. When he noticed she hadn't started yet, he thought something was wrong. For example, maybe he did not have his shirt or... pants on. He immediately reached out to pat his body, and found that he was indeed wearing clothes.So, why was she nervous?As he moved his hands back, he accidentally touched
His defined chest was soon revealed. There was no fat on it at all, and it was broad and muscular. Renee inhaled deeply, and eagerly continued unbuttoning his shirt. His abs were about to be exposed. However, before she could see them, Stefan grabbed her hands. His face was flushed as he demanded, "What are you doing?"He felt like she was taking advantage of him. Damn it, this woman wanted to violate him! Shocked, Renee said with a stupefied expression, "Ah! I... Didn't you ask me to start? Are you shy?" She knew for a fact that the more handsome a man was, the more likely that he would be shy. After all, many women yearned to take advantage of such men. "I asked you to shave my beard, not take off my clothes..." He said amusedly, then leaned closer to her. "I'm curious though… What were you going to do after taking off my clothes?""Ah? So, you want me to do that?" Renee felt so awkward that she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her. She cursed inwardly, 'Renee,
Renee couldn't say a word, and didn't dare to move as she stared at Stefan in shock. The thing they had was more than that. They had been deeply and passionately in love with each other. However, she could not bring herself to tell him the truth.What a dilemma! She was afraid of him forgetting her, but at the same time, she was worried that he might recall who she was. At that moment, the door opened, and a man's voice said sarcastically, "Yes, she's in love with a member of the Hunt family, but that person is me… not you." Jovan walked into the room, an irritated expression on his face. Renee felt awkward, and quickly pushed away Stefan's hands, putting some distance between them. Stefan immediately saw that behaviour as guilt at being caught. It also proved that Jovan was not lying. "So, you're saying that you guys are a couple?" Stefan's eyes turned cold as he asked gloomily. "Stefan, you're so smart. You guessed right..." Jovan slowly walked to Renee and hugged her
Not only did he not go berserk, but he was so calm, enthusiastic, and positive that it felt like Jovan's words did not affect him at all. It was unbelievable. "Okay, I... I'll go and get your clothes," Renee said, unable to hold back her tears. Even though he had gone through much, he was still so strong!Jovan's expression turned livid as he observed Stefan coldly. 'That's impossible! This is Stefan we're talking about. He's always so arrogant, but now, he's calm even after being humiliated.' Jovan felt the most humiliated now. 'No, Stefan must have hidden his true emotions. I have to make him lose his temper somehow!' "Why aren't you washing the socks?" Renee took out a suit of clean clothes from the wardrobe to help Stefan change into them. Her expression turned scornful when she saw Jovan standing there without any intention to move. However, Jovan stood between Renee and Stefan as he said, "Stefan, I told you she's my girlfriend. Isn't it inappropriate to ask your cousi
"Oof, n… nope!" Renee immediately stopped grinning and stood up obediently. She didn't even dare to breathe too loud.She had to admit, despite his sickness, his innate aura was still rather imposing. Thus, while he expressed anger, the atmosphere became rather cold, and she was smart enough to know when to stop."Uhm, I didn't mean to make fun of you. I… I just haven't finished shaving you." Renee looked for an excuse carefully, aware of the tense atmosphere.'Hehehe, I saved the photos anyway. I can just look back on them in the future.'"No need." Stefan reached his arm over to the table and looked for the razor. He then shaved his stubbles clean by going around his entire neck with the razor. He completed the entire process with practiced ease, as though it came as second nature to him.Renee was stunned, pointing at him. "So you could do it yourself! That looks way better than what I did! Then… Why did you ask me to shave for you?"From her point of view, helping a man shave
"Whether you two were dating or not has nothing to do with me. I even wish that you two could be more loving with each other, lest he wouldn't be so bored as to give me trouble all the time. I'd get some peace and quiet, too," Stefan said, still rather emotionless. He then changed into some freshly washed clothes. "Come on, get some sun with me."It had been quite some time since they had gone outside for some sunlight after all. Other than that, he couldn't help feeling warm and positive on the inside with Renee by his side for some odd reason.Renee soon brought Stefan to their favorite part of the back garden.It was spring, and the entire garden was in full bloom. The air was filled with a faint scent of rain and mud, partnered with the fresh smell of grass. The warm sunlight washed over their hair and faces. Nature painted the world in the purest peace and beauty for the first time in a long while.Despite this, Renee was weirdly silent, unable to enjoy a single moment of
"You even had… children together?" Stefan's heart was filled with mixed emotions. His expression turned darker with time.It wouldn't be reasonable for him to be upset. After all, they were just a married couple with children, which meant this was none of his business. Even so, he felt inexplicably bitter after hearing about 'their love story' regardless. 'Oh god, Stefan Hunt, can't you be a little normal for once? Don't you think it's ridiculous that you're paying so much attention to a woman you haven't even seen? This is an insult to Seraphina and an insult to yourself!' he thought to himself."Hmm, I mean, the guy might be a jerk, but our kids are adorable. So I don't regret falling in love with him." Renee told the truth this time, despite her previous attempt at making something up.She could obviously tell that Stefan looked as upset as someone who just found out they had been cheated on. However, he was still suppressing the negative emotions, replying coldly, "That mean
"Stefan!" Renee jogged over to the dashing man, who was still enjoying the sun under the pavilion. She chirped gleefully and said, "I picked a lot of apricots. Would you like some?"Hearing the woman's cheery voice, he couldn't help but feel reassured. His heart grew warm, just as the gentle sunlight, as he asked softly, "Are they sweet?""Of course! Tastes just like first love!" Renee exclaimed, choosing another big one and cleaning it with her shirt again. She handed it to the man enthusiastically. "Take a bite!"At the same time, she took out her phone and turned on the camera, hoping to capture the man's expression while smoldering from the taste.In actuality, she had been saving quite a lot of photos and videos that could potentially destroy Stefan's image. As if she were dying from a terminal illness, she knew she had not much time left with him. Hence, she instinctively recorded every moment with the man, hoping to reminisce about these memories in the future.In some wa
