Chapter 1968

Author: Mizuki Sei
"Excuse me?" Stefan frowned and looked at Justin incredulously. Justin stood there with his mouth agape like a goldfish, gaze moving from Stefan to the receptionist. Everyone was stunned into silence.

"Pfft! Haha!" Leia burst out laughing, bending over and holding her stomach. "Good call—I think they're a perfect match given their similarities and history."

"Leia!" Stefan hissed threateningly, shooting Leia a vicious glare. If looks could kill, Leia would be dead by now.

"Oh, how scary. I think he's scarier than those characters earlier. He's looking at me like he wants to kill me," Leia hurriedly hid behind Xavier and said dramatically. "Xavier, the day has finally come to choose between your buddy and me—who will you side with if he wants to kill me?"

Renee walked to Leia and hugged her, then patted her head dotingly. "Don't worry, I won't let anyone harm you. If anything happens to you, I'll avenge you, okay?"

"I knew you always treat me well! These useless men are just tempor

    Justin shared the same thoughts as Stefan. Justin could tell from that day's incidents that it would be very difficult for Renee and him to move forward in their relationship. This might be his only chance to take wedding photos with Renee. Although it was not proper wedding photos, it was still something he could cherish. It was a crazy idea, but he would take what he could get."You're not a good match for her," Stefan said to Justin coldly as he changed his posture at the photographer's request."Thank you for the advice but…" Similarly, Justin changed his posture, staring into Stefan's eyes intently. "Save it for yourself. You're worse.""Have you ever considered not disturbing her and letting her find someone who can truly make her happy?" Stefan asked sharply. Truthfully, Stefan was only saying such things because they were well-suited for each other, and it filled him with envy. He knew Renee well—she wouldn't get into a relationship easily, but once she did, she would throw

    "That's none of your business." Stefan ignored Justin's question and said threateningly, "You just need to know one thing—if you or your family do anything to her, I'll make you all pay." Then, he walked out of the photoshoot and said to the others, "I need to leave."Dumbfounded, Xavier grabbed Stefan's arm. "If you leave like this, what about Renee? Do you want to leave her with Justin?" "That's her choice. I can't do anything about it," Stefan said expressionlessly as he walked past Renee to leave.Flabbergasted, Xavier complained, "What the hell? You shouldn't have come then. Did you just come here to get attention?" He couldn't understand Stefan's actions. If Stefan was unconcerned, he wouldn't have come to play this childish game with them. It was obvious he couldn't tolerate seeing Renee and Justin deepen their relationship, but at a critical time like this, he was running away. If Stefan hadn't been his friend for many years, Xavier would have called him a scumbag.Leia sa

    Xavier glared at Justin and demanded, "How can you say that? You were so close to Stefan just now, whispering to each other. What did you guys talk about? Don't tell me that your final goal is actually to win Stefan over." Xavier hadn't expected to see Stefan and Justin take a photo together, and he was jealous that his buddy had been snatched away. "You're crazy!" Leia's eyes widened as she sized Xavier up. "Do you have… feelings for Stefan? Don't tell me you're…""What about me?" Xavier looked at the others in confusion."You know what I mean." Leia took a step back, shaking her head as if she had just realized something. "I knew it! Why else would you always defend Stefan? It has to be because you have feelings for him. As expected, people in love are blind. It must have been hard for you to keep it a secret for so many years."Xavier still looked puzzled.Renee laughed and chimed in, "Okay, stop teasing him. He's had so many scandals that I'm sure he's straight!""So, you th

    Renee was pretty tired after the escape room. She didn't want to talk about romance—all she wanted to do was rest.When she reached Everheart Manor, she ran into Quinton. It was midnight, but he was not sleeping. He sat alone in the pavilion in the garden, looking up at the moon. Renee could tell he was feeling lonely. She didn't want to disturb him, but before she could leave, he turned and saw her."Ren!" Quinton's face lit up in delight. "I heard you went on a date with Justin again today. Did you have fun?""It wasn't bad." Renee walked to Quinton and sat down gently beside him. "What did you do today? Did you go out for some fun?""I'm old, so there's nothing fun out there for me. I just stayed home. It's pretty relaxing," Quinton said casually, but he sounded tired."Quinton, you're wrong..." Renee smiled and continued, "You said you're old, but you're just a few minutes older than me. Don't tell me I'm old too." "You're different from me." Quinton looked at Renee lovingly

    Renee didn't want to pressure Quinton to get married, but she could tell that he was lonely. He needed someone who could understand him and stay with him. The longer he stayed like this, the more he would regret it. The first half of his life had been torturous, and Renee didn't want to see him spend the rest of his life alone."It's nice to have a companion, but the problem is..." Quinton shook his head helplessly. "I'm mentally ill and flawed, so I'd better not burden others. It's fine if I enjoy the moonlight alone. I don't think it's sad." He had gotten used to being lonely, and had anticipated spending his life alone."How could you say that about yourself?" Renee frowned. "I think everyone is mentally sick one way or another, and sickness can be cured. You were living a gloomy life in the past, but you've left that behind now. Once you face the sunlight, you'll naturally become brighter. You're not mentally ill or flawed!" Renee hated Quinton's pessimism. His life was still lon

    Renee could tell that Quinton had not forgotten about Joanne, and his feelings for her ran deep. That was why he refused to open up or get close to other women. Hence, Renee hoped that Quinton and Joanne could at least talk so they could let go of their past and start their new lives.Unfortunately, Quinton kept avoiding the subject. "Don't worry about my affairs, especially my love life. Just take care of yourself and get along well with Justin; that's what I really wish for." He had no intention to date anyone for now—he just wanted to restore his family's image and protect Renee well. He knew that he had a lot of trauma, and if he dated someone, he would subconsciously hurt that person."I'm not trying to force you to go on a date or make peace with Joanne. I just hope that you can let go of your past and open your heart to new things. Then, you can truly live your life." Renee sounded urgent as she sighed. "I feel like a doctor. I know the reason for your illness and watch you su

    Gina had to have enough experience as a class teacher if she wanted to get a management position. One needed a rich resume to be the class teacher. Since Gina graduated from Coral Coast University, she was confident that the principal would appoint her as the class teacher. To her displeasure, the principal had picked Joanne instead, who was unqualified in all aspects."Ms. Garcia, it's going to be tiring receiving the new students today. What would you like to talk about during the parent-teacher meeting later?" After helping the students settle down, Gina came to the office and spoke to Joanne."I'll talk about my teaching methods," Joanne replied coolly. She had an innate aloofness, which was why she wasn't close to the other teachers there even though six months had passed. Additionally, all the teachers there shared Gina's thoughts in thinking Joanne was inferior and did not deserve to be working there."Gina, you don't know since you just came, but Ms. Garcia is awesome. She j

    Gina looked at Joanne and blinked, then grinned coyly and said, "Don't be upset, Ms. Garcia… I was just joking. After all, it's rather odd that you were hired here despite your academic qualifications and experiences. I know for a fact that all teachers here are curious about it.""Can you accuse someone like that just because you're curious?" Hostility gleamed in Joanne's eyes. "If that's the case, can I assume that it's because of your looks that you became the deputy class teacher of the primary school at such a young age?" "How can you say that, Joanne? I graduated with a master's degree from Coral Coast University. I worked hard to get here!" Gina immediately stood up and said rudely, "I must have guessed right that you got into this school by relying on a man—you wouldn't be this upset otherwise!" "Well, you also overreacted, so I must have hit the nail on the head too," Joanne sneered.Gina's eyes widened in rage. "How dare you…"Ainsley Terrell, the teaching director, im

    Adie was still a child, but he acted like a smart person and could see through a lot of things. He could guess why Austin took them to the Baldwin residence. He had also heard the servants of the Baldwin family rebuking Renee in secret. After combining various situations, he learned about what had happened between Renee and Justin. Despite everything, Justin could forgive Renee under such circumstances. He also treated Adie and Abby nicely. It proved that he was a very compassionate man. A small regret gripped Adie. He wondered why Renee didn't date Justin right from the start. If Renee were with such a kind man, she might be very happy. She wouldn't have to suffer through so many hardships either. "No, you don't know me. I always sweat the small stuff."Justin was displeased since Adie had claimed that he was a good guy, like Renee had. He heaved a long sigh and said, "But it's useless even if I sweat the small stuff, so I stop trying. It all comes down to fate. We can't forc

    Renee turned and found Jovan unscathed. Relief washed over her. She said grumpily, "It's none of your business!""Tsk! How cruel!" Jovan clutched his chest and pretended to be in deep pain. At the same time, he teased, "I know. Your soulmate is better. I'm so jealous of him, though he's still a fallback guy.""Go to hell, Jovan!" Jovan's nasty words drove Renee mad. She grabbed a piece of napkin, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at his face. "If I knew you'd talk so badly, I wouldn't be bothered to save you. Maybe you'll get reborn in Ulria. Then, you have to watch your tongue!""Hey! Yeah, I was wrong. You don't have to curse me like that!" Jovan raised his hands to surrender, but felt quite moved. He poured himself a glass of milk and devotedly toasted to her. "Thank you for caring about me and trying your best to save me. I'll toast to you. And you can do whatever you want.""You're so childish." Renee rolled her eyes and was amused.Justin was quite jealous to see them

    "What's that?" Justin frowned and said with disdain, "That's something to fool naive women like you. Only lovestruck fools will believe that." As a materialistic person, he never believed in things like horoscopes and fortune-telling. At most, they were mixed with some psychology. They weren't trustworthy at all.If Renee wanted to use those things to talk about their relationships and destinies, it would seem very childish. "Don't be so extreme. Those things are real and logical." Renee acted like an experienced salesperson and gradually eliminated Justin's prejudice. She said patiently, "If you believe those things, they can guide you and help you to see things through. If not, you can use them to kill time. Just try to get to know them. Isn't that nice?"Finally, Justin was convinced. He had some milk and asked her leisurely, "Fine. Tell me what kind of relationship we have based on those things." "I learned that our relationship is a declining friendship based on our birt

    "I…" Renee paused. For a moment, she had no idea how to answer that question."Don't put yourself in a difficult position. Just follow your heart," Justin said calmly. "If you want to stay, my family will still welcome you readily. If you want to leave, I'll come up with a way to help you leave smoothly."After listening to Justin, Renee answered honestly, "Maybe it's better for me to leave, though I know this choice will hurt you."She could choose to stay to protect Justin's dignity and give Austin a good explanation. It would be more relaxing and steadier for her. However, Renee knew that it could only last briefly. She would cause Justin greater harm. She might as well be decisive and stop the damage in time. "Don't say that." Justin cracked a bitter smile and said with relief, "I've stopped taking things too seriously. If you like me, you won't stop loving me even if we're apart. Similarly, you'll think about another man if you don't like me, even though you're always b

    Austin was having breakfast in the dining room. When he saw Justin and Renee walk over intimately, he finally believed that they had slept together. They seemed like a real couple."Good morning, Grandpa Baldwin!" Renee obediently greeted Austin just like before. She acted normally."Good morning." Austin nodded, unable to suppress his smile. After sizing them up, he calmly said to Renee, "We know how apologetic you are after you toasted to us last night. We'll forget about the past. You're still a part of my family." "Grandpa!" Justin interrupted Austin; he was very protective of Renee. "She's a woman, and we're not married yet. Please don't say that. A woman's reputation is the most important thing.""You…" Austin wanted to refute Justin, but their conflict was just resolved so it would be bad to pressure them more. He shook his head and said, "Fine. You two always have a bland romance. Finally, you've made some progress. I'll let you two decide what to do next.""Got it, Gr

    "Hey, Haze! What are you doing? Get off of me!" Renee struggled in confusion."Hush!" Justin gestured and stopped her.In a while, someone unlocked the door of the room."Mr. Baldwin, let me help you and Ms. Everheart change your clothes." A kind middle-aged woman walked into the room casually. When she found them sleeping together intimately, relief washed over her. "Oh, you guys are still sleeping… Fine, I'll leave you be." Then, the woman exited the room.After that, Justin stopped hovering above Renee, looking awkward. "I'm sorry. It happened all of a sudden. If I hadn't done that, they wouldn't let us go. I just did a small thing to resolve the issue." Justin was fully aware of Austin's thoughts. Although Austin was still angry at Renee, he was satisfied with her and wanted to see her get into a real intimate relationship with Justin. If that did not happen, Austin might tie them up together since the drug had failed. Justin could only act with Renee to avoid the in

    Renee grinned, satisfied after a long rest. "Why didn't you sleep a bit longer? This bed is comfortable and fluffy." While talking, she behaved like a fish as she extended her limbs and rolled around in bed childishly. In comparison to her calmness and ease, Justin behaved gingerly and did not dare to move as he lay in bed."Do you have any idea what had happened? We aren't dreaming. We're lying in the same bed," Justin said.He was certain that Renee was not fully awake. It explained why she was that composed. Otherwise, any normal woman would get out of bed with a start and keep screaming if they found herself lying in a man's bed."I know!" Renee said. After having a great time rolling around, Renee faced Justin with her head on her arm while lying on her side. "I wanted to drink wine to say sorry to you guys last night, but your family drugged the wine. You drank the same wine when you tried to stop me. We were controlled by the drug and were locked up in this room. T

    Renee instantly understood what Justin meant by that. It turned out that the incident was just a part of the Baldwin family's plan. If she left, the Baldwin family would not easily let her off the hook.Justin still cared about her at a time like that, which moved her. "Thank you. You're great." Renee cried; she had no idea how to repay him. "You don't have to thank me. I'm not so great, either. I just hate that they always pester me." Justin purposely sounded relaxed. He finally calmed himself down as he casually grabbed some bandages to bandage his wound. Then, he lay in bed.He slept on one side of the bed and said to Renee, "It's late. You should rest early. This bed is large enough. If you don't mind, you can lie in bed too."The bed was large. It was more than enough even if Renee and Justin lay there."I…" Renee hesitated briefly before she finally got in bed. She trusted Justin. If he wanted to do something indecent to her, he would have long done that. He would no

    "I don't know how to tell you. I'm sure you can understand." Renee could not bring herself to say more because it was a humiliating privacy. She might as well keep it to herself."Let me guess…" Justin's gaze grew sharp as he went straight to the point. "The man in your story is Stefan, isn't it?" Silence washed over Renee as she kept her head bowed. It was a silent approval.Justin burst into reckless laughter, which was scary. He looked down at his cut wound and laughed pathetically. "This is why he could make you fall in love with him, and I couldn't. I'm too cultured compared to him.""Don't say that, Haze!"Seeing how defeated Justin was, Renee became uneasy. "It isn't written in the stars for us. Plus, I've fallen in love with Stefan a long time ago before I even got to know you. I also rely on him physically and psychologically. I can't control my feelings. It's not something we can change. We…" "Stop!" Heartbroken, Justin pushed away everything in front of him and s
