Chapter 1223

Author: Mizuki Sei
Stefan tried to respond to Seraphina, but something inside him made him stop. "Forget it. I'm a bit tired today." He pulled away and took a deep breath. "You're tired too, so you'd better rest."

"Stefan, you're pushing me away again. What's wrong with you? We've known each other for years and are about to get married soon… Surely it won't be this way forever?" Seraphina's eyes turned watery in defeat. Any woman would feel bad if a man refused her. Even though some women acted tough, they still were naturally softhearted.

"I'm sorry, I'm the one at fault here. I'm just not ready yet." Clasping his hands, he bowed his head miserably. Sometimes he wondered if he had a male-specific illness… Why else would he never feel attracted to Seraphina despite loving her so deeply? In fact, he wasn't attracted to other women either.

The only exception was Renee… He lost all control around her like some hormonal teenager, and always longed to be near her.

    Finally, Stefan decided to go out for a walk for some fresh air and relaxation.The hotel he chose had a nice environment and was designed in a typical Southeast Aeos style. The garden was filled with tropical plants like palm trees and cactus, and looked like a primaeval forest.Stefan was wandering in the garden when he saw a familiar figure—it was none other than Renee."Ren…" He was about to call her name, but soon realised that she was sleepwalking. He then secretly followed her from a distance to observe her condition.She stood before a large cactus and squatted down, then whispered to the cactus, "Little porcupine, don't be scared. I like you very much and I won't hurt you. Can I take a needle from you? Why do you have so many of them? Let me take all of them out for you, okay? One, two, three…" While talking, she plucked out the cactus needles.Stefan fought back laughter at her serious expression. 'This woman is hilarious! How could she mistake the cactus for a porcupine

    "Damn it, it must be because of that perfume!" Stefan held the door and wiped away the sweat on his forehead, trying his best to control his breathing. He stood at the door, wondering whether he should enter the room. If he left, he was worried that she might hurt herself.But if he entered the room, he might hurt her more.Renee eventually bumped into a pillar, and woke up with a start. She looked around, confused, then stared at the cactus needles in her hand. "Where am I? What am I doing?" "Renee, you're… awake?" Stefan swallowed and asked her urgently.Surprised, Renee turned around and looked at Stefan, whose face was twisted in pain. She quickly rushed over and supported him, asking in concern, "Stefan, what's the matter with you? Why is your body so hot and your face so flushed? Are you having a fever?" "Don't touch me!" Stefan pushed her away as sweat rolled down his throat. He was aware of the changes in his body, and it was getting increasingly difficult to control his

    The next morning, Renee got up in bed. She pushed aside the blanket and found that she was wearing pyjamas. She looked around the room in confusion, but it was empty. "That's weird… Did something happen last night? Did I sleepwalk again?"Eventually, images flooded her mind, but to her confusion, they were mostly of her and Stefan. The scenes were so passionate that she had no idea if they were real or just her imagination. After all, when she sleepwalked, she could not differentiate between reality and fantasy."Ah, forget it. Even if we did sleep together, it wouldn't be the first time!" She couldn't get an answer even after thinking about it, so she just decided to regard it as a colourful dream.It was rather late, so Renee quickly washed up and went out for breakfast. After that, she shamelessly went to Stefan and Seraphina's room and rang the bell endlessly. 'If Stefan still refuses to tell me about my brother's affairs with Joanne, there's going to be trouble.'However, ther

    "Stefan!" Renee roared as she barged into the headquarters of H Group angrily. Immediately, everyone turned to her, but nobody dared to do anything because she was their president's ex-wife. At last, Elijah, Stefan's assistant, blocked her and said politely, "Mrs. Hunt, Mr. Hunt is having a meeting. Please go and wait in the reception room.""I'm not Mrs. Hunt! Don't talk nonsense!" Renee snapped and rolled up her sleeves menacingly. "I'll count to three, and if Stefan doesn't come out by then, I'm going to destroy this building. One, two…""Umm…" Everyone looked at each other in panic, not sure of what to do."It's okay, Mrs. Hunt, I'll inform Mr. Hunt that you're here," Elijah said quickly. He was aware of how violent Renee was, so he decided to take the risk and inform Stefan that she was here. Although Stefan was hard to deal with, he was much gentler than Renee, so Elijah would rather face his wrath instead.Stefan was currently under pressure because Carmine Pawnshop's trea

    "An inferior organization like Carmine Pawnshop is now stepping on us. They just want to ruin us and let Azure Group take the top spot! If we take things slow now, it may cause H Group to suffer a great loss!""Mr. Hunt, you're always wise, bold, and decisive. Why are you suddenly being so generous? Is the Night Demon holding something against you?" One shareholder sneered, but Stefan was unfazed.One of the shareholders said carefully, "Or rather, are you trying not to offend Miss Everheart? Even if you're wrongly accused, you won't fight back because you want to look good in her eyes… is that it?"Stefan shot the shareholder a cold glare. "None of you can comment on my decision. Who's the president here?" Everyone went silent, and lowered their heads in shame. No one dared to say anything.Meanwhile, Elijah heaved a sigh and walked out of the conference room. He went over to Renee and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Hunt, but the president is very busy at the moment. He

    Fueled by her victory, Renee happily went around breaking all the things she had bought for Stefan. After all, it should be fine since she was the one who had bought them. "Now you're done for, Mrs. Hunt. You broke all his favourite things, and I bet he's going to be furious. Why don't you run away now? I fear the consequences might be dire.""He'll be furious?" Renee finally stopped, breathing hard. Grinning wickedly at Elijah, she said, "Well, that's exactly what I'm hoping for. He started it, so it's only right that I end it."Renee looked around Stefan's office and pursed her lips contemplatively. 'Ugh, I can't believe I bought so many things for that ungrateful turd. I'm so tired that I can't even break them all.' Finally, her gaze landed on the coffee machine she bought him, and she walked over to it. Just as she lifted it up, Stefan strode into the room. He grabbed her wrist and sneered, "Are you done making a scene?""Well, well… Master Hunt finally joined the party. I'l

    Stefan glared at Elijah and demanded, "What do you mean? Why would she buy me things?""Well, it was Miss Everheart who bought these...""Ahem, ahem!" Seeing that Elijah was about to let the cat out of the bag, she immediately interrupted him. She then looked at Stefan and said quickly, "Mr. Hunt, you're very smart. You know I wouldn't buy you something unless I had an ulterior motive.""Hmph, you know yourself well," he scoffed in disdain. When he looked at the mess all over the floor, he said icily, "Buy me these things again, and I'll let you off the hook."That was his final compromise. If he had not lost control and wronged her the night before, he would never have forgiven her this easily. "Fine, I'll buy them for you. These aren't expensive, after all, so I can easily afford them," Renee sneered. After all, she was the one who gave him those things, so it was easy for her to buy them again. "But Master Hunt, you should also do something to quell my anger, right?" Stefan

    Stefan knew that he could no longer keep the incident a secret. He stared at Renee, his gaze contemplative. "What do you think of Quinton?" He asked finally.Renee thought about it for a while, then said objectively, "I know that Quinton did a lot of crazy things. He isn't a good guy, but he's not an evil villain either. He usually made extreme choices because he was forced to—he just wanted to survive. Carmine Pawnshop only made it because they had to resort to a lot of illegal things, but these were usually done in the open sea which was under no one's jurisdiction. Hence, the police couldn't do anything about it.""Well, you certainly know how to find excuses for him. I suppose that since you can empathise with a villain, you're probably hiding your own dark side," Stefan said with a smirk, raising an eyebrow lazily.Renee was speechless for a while, then sneered, "Yes, my brother and I are villains with dark sides, but you're not so good yourself either, Mr. Hunt. You tricked a

    Jovan awkwardly tried to comfort Renee. However, his words sounded more hurtful and made her cry even louder. "This is all your fault!" Renee raised her head, then pointed at him while bawling loudly. "Did I ever anger you? Why did you frame me? What good did it bring you?""I…" Jovan's heart softened because of how pitiful she looked when she cried profusely. However, he was a pretentious man and would not show that he had gone easy on her. Instead, he tried to provoke her even more. "You can't change anything even if you cry loudly. Austin wants nothing but to kill you and your family now. If I were you, I wouldn't be in the mood to cry. I'll brace myself to manage a funeral for them."Renee was flabbergasted. She didn't expect him to be this inhuman. She was heartbroken, but he kept hurting her. She cried even more profusely."I'll keep on crying. Let me go if you can't take it. If you don't, I'll keep on crying until you can no longer take it!"She cried loudly as if she

    A major issue happened to two famous and great families. The entertainment channel and news channel kept reporting about it, let alone the financial channel.Jovan didn't have to turn to a specific channel when he turned on the TV. The screen was showing a scene related to the engagement ceremony."They…" Only then did Renee learn that while she was waiting in the makeup room for her turn to make an entrance, the atmosphere in the hall had turned very tense. Alexander and Francine argued and fought against Justin's parents in a way unsuited to their statuses. Everyone failed to wait until she made an entrance before she went missing. She saw how the situation gradually became worse. She also noticed Justin's disappointment in her and Austin's wrath. Austin finally couldn't control himself, and kidnapped Alexander and Francine. "The Hunt family has yet to make a statement about it. We also have no clue about Mr. Alexander Hunt and his wife's current circumstances. However, we

    Renee said seriously, "I would like a plate of pasta with more vegetables and is not spicy. I'm afraid this is my last meal."Jovan was rendered speechless. Although Renee was being sarcastic, he still went to the kitchen to make her a delicious plate of pasta. He added some vegetables and a nice fried egg for a balanced diet. "It's done." Jovan had sent off all the servants of the mansion, leaving Renee with him. Hence, he was the one who cooked the pasta and served it to her. "Wow, you're fast." Renee wanted to get a chance to run away since she had sent him away to cook for her, but she couldn't come up with any trick.In the end, she got hungry when she saw the pasta. It was mouth-watering. She was starving!Jovan was good at cooking pasta, even though he didn't seem reliable. The pasta he made tasted like home-cooked food."Give it a try." Jovan didn't say much. He meticulously blew on the pasta and handed her a fork and spoon. Renee accepted it, eager to start eatin

    Jovan watched Renee fall into a deep thought. His gaze deepened, filled with renewed ferocity.Jovan turned his wrist and said slowly, "Okay, stop overthinking. I can tell you the truth if you want to know it." Renee abruptly looked up. Her eyes were teary as she begged him, "What's the truth?" "Listen to me and stay with me." Jovan frowned. After a short contemplation, he grinned and continued, "Stay with me for ten days or half a month. Then, I'll tell you.""That's not possible!"Renee immediately refused him, growing cold. "I have to leave right away. I can't watch the two families get into a fight."If she didn't return to North City immediately to explain things, the Baldwin and Hunt families would get into a big fight. Regardless of her circumstances, she didn't want them to fight. They were good people, and she refused to see them hurt. "Just let them fight. It's just a fight among bad people. Your family can grab this chance to get back to the top. Don't you want tha

    Jovan felt that he wasn't as passionate and loving as Stefan."Stop beating around the bush. Why is he trying to hold himself back? You made a scumbag sound like he'd suffered a lot!" Renee snarled.She gnashed her teeth. If her foot was not chained, she would have long beaten Jovan up for being evasive and mysterious."I think he was forced to give up his beloved woman because of his identity. He has suffered a lot." Jovan frowned, his tone laced with sympathy."What about his identity? I've already known about that. Our grandfathers decided on our marriage. What are we, Romeo and Juliet?" Renee had wondered if their families were sworn enemies. It might be the reason why Stefan was in a dilemma.However, her grandfather made the Hunts take care of her when her family was doomed. Her grandfather always wanted the best for her. He held her hand and told her that only Stefan could make her happy, and only the Hunt family could protect her. It seemed unreasonable that Stefan was

    Jovan was stunned to hear Renee's words. He was so furious, he laughed."Maybe!" He agreed with her and looked at her wickedly. "Since I can't win him over, I want his beloved woman.""You're out of your mind!" Renee was disgusted as goosebumps gripped her. "I'm not his most beloved woman. He loves Briar the most. You got the wrong person. You should kidnap Briar instead. Then, you can get to him."She was acting out of spite, but she meant what she had said.In the past, she was confident that Stefan loved her the most. After so many things had happened, she was no longer as confident. Stefan eventually broke up with her because of Briar. It was enough to prove her position in his heart."Haha! Do you really think so?" Jovan shook his head, his lips a complicated smile. He seemed to be muttering to himself or hinting at something. "Unfortunately, he can't always do a good job. His romance is a mess. His most beloved woman doesn't understand him. How pathetic!""Stop mumbling!

    "You're trying to take revenge on Stefan, aren't you? What did he do? Why do you hate him so much?" Renee demanded.She was particularly clueless.At the very least, she felt that Stefan and Jovan didn't have a grudge even if they couldn't get along. Besides—back then, Stefan survived because of Jovan's blood.In a sense, they should be close to each other. Stefan was able to live on because of Jovan.Yet now, Jovan wanted to ruin the one he had once risked his life to rescue."No, I don't hate him," Jovan answered honestly. "I even admire him, and I'm jealous of him. He's my role model, the pride of my family.""Then, you're envious of him!" Renee went straight to the point. "You can't defeat him, so you tried to make him disappear. When that happens, you'll feel better. No one will block you, and you'll get a chance to shine."Jovan, speechless, slowly stopped smiling. Renee had accurately guessed his innermost thoughts. Since he couldn't defeat Stefan, he would let Stefan b

    The thing Renee feared the most was that Jovan's action would infuriate the Baldwins.Quinton, Adie, Abby, and Margaret were still there. If the Baldwin family wanted to do something bad, Renee's family would be in danger. Her happiness was secondary. She just wanted to ensure that her family was safe and sound.It seemed Austin was full of schemes. Though he seemed to have brought her family to live with her, he in truth just wanted hostages to control her…Unfortunately, she couldn't go back in time even though she had seen through his tricks."What's the rush?" Jovan watched Renee with a meaningful smile. "Someone will handle it even if it's a big mess. Your family will be fine. My foolish cousin won't let them be in danger. At most, the two families will fight fiercely."Renee was shocked. She glared at him, and suddenly understood something. "So you did it on purpose! You wanted to watch them fight and get something from it.""That's not my concern. Once, I was more powerf

    After all, Jovan was a human being. Such direct physical pain made him shake and groan. Normally, he should get angry and try all means to make her stop biting him.However, he was not an ordinary man. Although he trembled in pain, he maintained his posture and let her bite him as if he wanted to see who would give up first.Renee kept biting him fiercely, as if her teeth would gnaw through his palm. Blood oozed out of the wound. She was full of hatred, wishing to vent her anger. "Just bite me hard as long as you're happy. I'm enjoying myself too!"Jovan looked at her, whose head was lowered as she kept biting his palm fiercely. It was a bloody scene, but his words made everything sound ambiguous. Renee noticed his underlying meaning and was disgusted. She immediately let go of his palm. "Bah! Disgusting! You're sick!"Her lips were still stained with blood. From afar, it looked like a blooming rose from afar. It looked attractive on her. Aroused, Jovan held the back of her
