INICIAR SESIÓN"If I had never met you, or you had grown annoying, I would've long moved on. I wouldn't be in this pathetic mess like I am now!"Jovan kept his head low and looked melancholic. His shoulders were moving slightly as if he were trying his best to hold his tears back.Seeing that, Renee could not bear to hurt him, even though she was cruel. After all, she did not hate him, after excluding all the other reasons. On the contrary, she admired him."Don't cry. I… I don't mean that." Renee contemplated for a while and said carefully, "You're not that bad. We just can't be friends because of my different position."Jovan kept his head low. It was unknown if he was crying or not, but he exuded a melancholic and weak aura. It was like a drop of ink in a pool of water. It was already spread limitlessly. Consequently, Renee got affected and grew sad, too. "Okay, stop crying. I won't leave. I'll chat with you for a bit." Finally, Renee yielded.Instead of leaving cruelly, she chose to
The man looked at Renee from afar and cracked a familiar smile. However, the feelings gleaming in his eyes were unreadable."It's been a long while, Renee!" Jovan held a glass of red wine and raised it in front of Renee. Then, he sipped it. Renee looked at the man, whom she had not met for a long time. She was surprised. "What are you doing here? Didn't you go to Newrest?"After they parted on bad terms the other day, Jovan returned to Newrest. It was his comfort zone compared to Beach City.Hence, they did not get in touch with each other for a long time after that. He did not find fault with her or pull a long face in front of her either.Renee had thought that they would no longer have anything to do with her. Jovan should have stopped fixating on her and moved on. But suddenly, he did such an exaggerated thing."Yeah, I went to Newrest. But I can't forget about you, so I came back. Are you surprised?" Jovan smiled, sounding as wicked as a scumbag.Renee frowned. She s
[Red Resort. Tonight at eleven o'clock. You've got to come alone.]That text shared the same content as the text Renee received when she was at the stable that morning. The only difference was the time. It was changed from tomorrow at 8 PM to tonight at 11 PM.It seemed that person was eager to meet her. Renee inevitably rolled her eyes. She felt like calling Stefan to mock him. After all, they had just parted ways. But he did so much just to see her. It felt like a waste of time.However, she decided against such a thought. If Stefan merely wanted to meet her about the issues of their companies competing for the shares in the market, they needed to meet alone at a solemn occasion in a business-like manner.After some hesitation, Renee took a deep breath. It was almost time, and she decided to go there.After reaching the destination, it was already ten minutes to eleven o'clock.She struggled to breathe because she had to rush there. Hence, she scolded Stefan inwardly."A
Both Quinton and Joanne were stunned for two seconds. Then, they quickly broke apart as if they had touched something unlucky.Honestly, it was their closest distance after their initial separation. They both felt new things. However, they could only bury those emotions deep inside their hearts and keep them from everyone else.Neither Adie nor Abby found it awkward. Besides, they interrogated Quinton and Joanne, as if they wanted to make things worse."Uncle Quinton, Ms. Garcia, are you closer to each other now?"That question filled Quinton and Joanne with deeper awkwardness. They were speechless, too.Renee said casually, "Hey, stop asking about nonsense. They're always close to each other. You can't give them a hard time."Joanne clenched her fists and took a deep breath before she said, "It's late. I'll…go to bed." She quickly ran upstairs, acting pretentiously but scared. Abby watched where Joanne had gone and frowned. She asked carefully, "Mommy, did Adie and I do an
Therefore, Joanne stopped being coy. She agreed and feigned casualness. "Fine. I'm not a sore loser, either. Just go ahead." "I'm not a sore loser, either. It's not a big deal. Just like carrying a sandbag. Let's start!" Quinton acted casual, too. "Fine, you guys agreed to it. I won't spoil the kids' fun." Renee acted like someone older managing a marriage. Initially, she could stop such a scene. However, she decided not to when they were that casual and indifferent. Quinton swallowed and walked forward nervously. Then, he carried Joanne in his arms. Joanne was very nervous but got too timid to speak. She simply closed her eyes as if she were being tortured. She even hugged Quinton's neck."One, two, three, four…" Renee and the children started counting. As Quinton squatted, he grew tired and struggled to breathe. He also started sweating.Although Joanne did nothing, she also had difficulty breathing. Her forehead was full of sweat. Although it was just squatting, it
Joanne instantly blushed. She kept her head low and was too shy to speak.On the other hand, Quinton was restless. He looked everywhere, rolled his sleeves up, and scratched his head. It was clear that he was very nervous.He had experienced a lot of different things. Of course, it was rare to see him panic in such a way."Ahem!" Renee noticed that the two of them were awkward, as if they were on a blind date. She suppressed her smile and asked Adie seriously, "Hey, how could you come up with such a thing for your uncle?""Because Uncle Quinton and Ms. Garcia are weird," Adie seriously answered. "Huh? What do you mean?" Renee sat on the sofa and was eager for some gossip."Because they seem to be close to each other but pretend not to be. When they're together, they keep stealing glances at each other but purposely ignore each other. My teacher told me that people who aren't close should join some ice-breaking activities. Then, they'll get close to each other. I hope to see them
