Chapter 404

Author: Mizuki Sei
However, the encounter was too brief. It came and went in an instant, like two meteors that streaked past each other.

One of them was going up while the other was going down. Neither of them stopped for the other.

“Hah, it seems Mr. Top Donor still cares about you. He's here for the dinner appointment.”

When they arrived at the ground floor, Haze joked with a playful grin.

“He can do whatever he wants. It's none of my concern.”

Renee walked gracefully to the parking lot, as if the encounter had never happened.

“You're not gonna go up and have a chat with him?”

“The agreed time for the dinner is from 8 pm to 11 pm. It's already a quarter past 11. It's his fault that he came late. My time's precious too. Why should I stay for him?”

Renee words were both rational and ruthless.

“True. Maybe he's here for a dinner date with Briar. Otherwise, his expression wouldn't have been so cold when you saw each other just now, as if he didn't even know you.”

Haze put his hands in his pockets

    With a serious look on his handsome face, Stefan said coldly, "Is she finally here?”“Huh? Who?”The manager looked confused.“Who do you think?”“I'm sorry, Mr. Hunt, I have no idea who you're talking about...”Stefan's perfect facial features almost disintegrated. Keeping his anger in check, he asked, "If you don't know who I'm talking about, why are you talking to me?”“I just want to inform you that we're closing...” The manager lowered his eyes and said cautiously.In truth, their restaurant was supposed to close half an hour ago.But because Stefan was posing in front of the window without the slightest intention of leaving, no one dared to tell him.“Are you waiting for someone? Do you want us to call that person for you?”The restaurant manager saw that Stefan's expression was as cold as ice, so he boldly asked.“No need!”Stefan's handsome face stiffened as his thin lips spat out those words.He had to accept the reality that Renee, that damn woman, actually dared

    Stefan's voice was cold and hoarse. His thin lips pressed against the woman's ear. His words were painful and angry. "Renee Everheart, you're truly the most heartless woman I've ever met!”The emotions that he had held inside for four years rushed out of him uncontrollably like an avalanche.He hugged her really tightly, as if he wanted to crush her and incorporate her pieces into his own body... As if that was the only way he could ensure that she would remain in his life and not leave him again!His embrace was so tight that Renee felt a bit painful. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.With her skills, she could easily drop him to the ground, but she did not resist. She let him hold her like a meek little rabbit.The embrace that she once longed for was so strong, so powerful, and so warm, but... it no longer aroused anything in her heart.It was easy to fall in love with someone, and it was not that hard to let go of someone either. Four years was enough for her to completely let

    After all, this seemed to be the only thing still connecting them.If this matter was handled cleanly, then there would no longer be anything between them. They would become complete strangers.“Good. I have nothing else to say.”Stefan's emotions were very complicated, and so were his feelings for Renee.He could not say that he hated her.But there also seemed to be a lack of reason for him to embrace her again.He had to admit that after four years, many things had changed.Stefan coldly turned around, preparing to leave.“Wait.” Renee suddenly stopped him.“Anything else?”“Thank you,” Renee said sincerely.“For what?” Stefan was confused.“Thank you for visiting my parents' graves in the last four years. I once loved you deeply, and I once hated you deeply, but everything's over now. I no longer love or hate you. I hope that, when we meet in the future, we can greet each other with a smile, and I hope that we can both live our lives well,” Renee said from the bottom

    By the time Renee returned to the apartment, it was already really late.Leia was not back yet, which was quite unusual.‘Could the heartless girl have found true love this time?’While Renee was wondering that, she saw Leia stealthily opening the door and sneaking in. Her fair face was tinged with a faint blush, displaying a girlish shyness.“Ahem.” Renee cleared her throat and stopped Leia. She interrogated her like a dorm manager. "Where have you been? Why are you back so late? Don't lie to me!”After hesitating for a while, Leia told her, "I'll be honest, I've fallen for this guy hard. Barring any accident, we'll probably get married at the end of the month. If the time is right, maybe we can even have a group wedding!”“Already? Isn't it a bit too impulsive?”Although Renee was happy for Leia, she still felt a bit uneasy. "You've always said that you would never get married or have children. Why the sudden change of mind?”“That's because I haven't met the right person! As

    The study was big and dark, with rows of bookshelves.Stefan turned on the light expressionlessly, only to find Timothy sitting on the sofa, causing him to step back in shock.“Grandpa, why are you trying to scare people instead of sleeping?”Timothy's face was stiff. While leaning on his cane, he scolded, "I'm trying to scare myself to death. I'm sick of worrying about my children and grandchildren every day. I'm better off dead!”“There you go again...”Stefan rubbed his forehead and stabilized his emotions, then walked up to the old man and squatted to meet him in the eye. He patiently asked, "Did something happen today that made you unhappy?”“It's nothing. I'm lamenting my own uselessness, that's all. My old eyes are so blurry that I can't even see a person clearly now.”The old man shook his head, sighing.He thought back to the time when he followed General Everheart and fought against enemies on the battlefield. He used to be so brave and spirited.But now, he couldn't

    The next day, Renee and Leia arrived at a high-end seafood restaurant together.“Ren, look, that's my boyfriend, William Jones. Isn't he handsome?”Leia pointed to a young man in the VIP area and said shyly.Renee looked in the direction Leia was pointing at and saw a man waiting there anxiously, occasionally fiddling with his clothes and tidying up the tableware. He was clearly a bit nervous and probably placed great importance on this meeting.“He looked very gentle. I can't believe this is the type that you would fall so hard for,” Renee joked.She always thought that Leia would like the domineering CEO type. After all, the male idols she liked were all of that type.But the gentle type was good too. At least they're considerate and reliable. He would complement the carefree Leia quite well—provided he truly was what he seemed.The man had also noticed them by now. He immediately flashed them a warm smile while waving to them.“Lei!”He quickly walked over and took the bag fr

    Kevin had many connections in Newrest because he loved socializing, and this gave him access to a lot of information. Looking into someone's ancestry was a piece of cake as long as he put his mind to it, no matter the person's status."William Jones? Of course I know him!" Kevin said excitedly. "Give me ten minutes; I'll compile all his information for you.""Thanks so much. I'll be waiting." Renee ended the call and frowned. Although she had approved of William earlier, there was a part of her that was still skeptical of the man. The man seemed flawless, which only made her even more suspicious of him. She needed to thoroughly look into him!While waiting, she went to the children's section on the third floor, as she wished to get her little ones some new clothes. Ever since she gave birth to her beautiful babies, her biggest hobby was to buy them cute clothes, like little jackets or dresses."This, this… Oh, and this…" Renee quickly picked out six outfits and asked the sales empl

    "You seem eager to have her dead." Stefan shot Renee a dirty glare, carrying Briar bridal-style and laying her down at a resting area nearby.Renee had almost died because of Briar's sudden outburst, and a panicked Stefan had no choice but to hit Briar on the back of the neck to knock her out for a while. Renee might not have survived otherwise.Briar would probably be better after resting, so Stefan didn't try to wake her up. Instead, he turned to Renee, who was still in the children's section, and pointed at the clothes on the ground. His eyes narrowed as he asked, "Why are you buying so many children's clothes?"Renee and the employee were busy putting the outfits on the ground back into her bags. She scoffed dismissively, "Why do you care? Am I not allowed to buy cute things?"Stefan squatted down and picked up one of the striped socks near him, observing it curiously. The sock was pink, soft, and no bigger than his hand. He couldn't deny it was cute, and it softened his heart

    Renee understood Justin and frowned. She tore off the tape on his mouth and pinched his cheek. "You have five minutes to repent since you're awake. If you do a good job, I'll let you go. If not, I'll keep you tied up here."The scene just now was awkward for the two of them. Renee had to come up with a way to get rid of that. If not, she didn't know how to face him, let alone spend the rest of her life with him."Repent?" Justin took deep breaths and cleared his throat. Then, he looked into her eyes. "What do you want me to repent for?""You…"Justin's bold gaze rendered Renee helpless. She bit her lip awkwardly. "What do you think?" "Are you referring to me kissing you, or…me trying to make you mine?" Although Renee knocked him out, he remembered everything that happened before he fainted, including what he had seen."Yeah, you were rude. Shouldn't you repent?" Renee tried to make herself bolder. If not… She would seem unreasonable, especially when her dignity was violated.

    "Inside story?" Confused, Renee looked at Sophia. "What is it?" "I can't tell you that. All I can say is the Hunt family isn't as good as you see them. Even if they've helped you, it's because they're trying to make up for their sins. You don't have to be grateful to them. Getting away from them is the best choice you made."Sophia, being from the last generation, had heard of the complicated relationships among the three families even though she had not seen them. However, she couldn't expose those affairs to the younger generation lest the worst happen. The most she could do was to remind Renee. Renee could tell that Sophia wouldn't tell her too much and stopped asking. However, she kept it in mind and decided to find the truth."Okay, Ren. Stop overthinking. Since you're here, just spend your days with peace of mind. My family is strong and can protect you for the rest of your life. Just enjoy your life with Justin.""Got it." Renee nodded, pretending to have seen it through.

    Sophia hurriedly asked Renee."Uh…" Renee flexed her fingers; she couldn't bring herself to lie. She wondered if she loved Justin. She couldn't tell.A large part of her reason for choosing Justin was because she didn't hate him. Sometimes, she felt that he was her soulmate. If she had to start a new romance, she hoped it would be with him. At least, she could be intimate with him and could imagine sleeping in the same bed with him. "I got it. You don't love him." Sophia saw through Renee at a glance. A long sigh escaped her. "We're all sports of fate. If we insisted on him marrying you when your family was ruined, the ending might be different.""Did you guys know me at that time?" Renee asked curiously.She had heard Justin mention that before, but she assumed that he had purposely talked nonsense to set up a good image. Since Sophia had admitted, it seemed to be the truth."Of course!" Sophia smiled and added, "Your family was prosperous at that time and was famous at North

    "Well, he…" Renee averted her gaze and waved. In the end, she gave an ambiguous answer. "He's tired and is lying down, so I came to have dinner with you.""I see…" Hearing the explanation from Renee, Sophia was disappointed with her son. Justin could run a marathon for a few miles, but he unexpectedly tired easily when he needed to hold on for a little longer. It was a rare chance that might never happen again. Sophia was rather disappointed, let alone Renee. Sophia tried to save face for her son. "Don't take it to heart. He's usually strong. Maybe he likes you so much that he…got agitated.""I didn't take it to heart," Renee said seriously. "I can understand him. After all, he's a young man. I taught him a lesson, too. I believe that he'll be careful from now on.""Yes, we should give the young man a chance!" Austin chimed in.They enjoyed a pleasant dinner together.Sophia held Renee's arm and said, "Are you tired? If you're not, let's take a walk in the garden. I'd like t

    "Baby…baby Baldwin. He'll be the baby for every Baldwin!"Austin was always a solemn man, but he grinned heartily when he thought about his future great-grandson. He didn't look serious at all. "Baby Baldwin? Don't joke around. I think we need to come up with a name that has a good message." At first, Jack didn't join their conversation because he found drugging others a very shameful trick. Still, he couldn't help chiming in when he heard them talk about the baby. "What kind of name has a good meaning?" Sophia sounded dissatisfied. "I think the name we got for Justin isn't good. It made him wild and uncontrollable, like the wind."Her son was always insensible and casual, and she felt that it was most probably because of his name. Justin was as fickle and unmanageable as the wind. He always stayed away from home all year round, and was incredibly rebellious."I agree. Justin isn't serious since we didn't get a good name for him, so we need to be careful when picking a name fo

    "Dad, stop looking at me like that. You got the wrong idea. I did nothing. I just…" Sophia, feeling guilty, averted her gaze. She couldn't face anyone else at the dining table. Then she added in a whisper, "It's just that… It's written in the stars.""What happened? What are you saying?" Austin grew more solemn. Worried his insensible daughter-in-law might do something outrageous and hurt his future granddaughter-in-law, he said fiercely, "Hurry up and tell me! If not, I'm going to punish you.""Please don't! I'll tell you everything. Don't always talk about punishing me. I'm getting old, and I can't stand that."Sophia grew frightened. She retreated, ready to run away at any minute. "I prepared a head-to-toe treatment for Ren to relax. But… One of the aromatherapists made a mistake and gave a chance to the young couple. So, I think we should eat first. We shouldn't disturb them."Austin didn't let it go. "What kind of mistake?" "Uh… The aromatherapist used an arousal-induc

    A sumptuous feast was served in the dining room. Both Austin and Jack had taken their seats. They were a little unhappy when they noticed Sophia return to the dining room alone."Why aren't they coming? The food is getting cold." Jack started complaining. "Is Ren that conceited? She can't be so rude for the first meal. How can she make us wait for her? This is unacceptable.""Shut up!" Austin glared at Jack and berated him. "You always eat on your own, and you never wait for me. Why are you pretending to be a good son today?""No, Dad. I think…" "Ren suffered a lot these days. I'm aware of the Jenkins family. They're inhumane barbarians. They do all kinds of messy things and are not governed by law. She must have gone through a lot there. She finally escaped from hell and wanted to take a good rest. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Stop finding fault with her," Austin said grumpily.As Renee was Maurice's granddaughter, Austin favored her and tolerated her without bo

    Everyone looked at Yvette. Sophia, grumpy, asked fiercely, "What's going on? Why are you screaming? You're so rude."Yvette bowed and reported nervously, "I… I suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the spices I prepared for Ms. Everheart. There's something special in there." Anxiety instantly gripped Sophia and she hurriedly demanded, "What is it?" "Uh… It's something that can arouse people." Yvette fearlessly reported everything. "Generally, aromatherapists will take care of this kind of thing while serving customers. We'll add it for our female customers to deepen their bond with their significant others. I did the same thing this time, but it doesn't seem appropriate.""Is that so?" Sophia's fierceness immediately subsided, replaced with a gentle look. She grinned. "That isn't a problem at all. In fact, I'll reward you handsomely!" "Huh?" Yvette looked up, flattered.While the average people might generally find that kind of thing fun, it might seem disres

    The next second, Renee instinctively slapped Justin."What are you doing?" Renee shyly interrogated him. "I don't know. I think I'm greedy today. It seems like a kiss isn't enough…"He held her face and closed his eyes, trying to continue with the kiss. However, this kiss was not as simple as the previous one. It was full of his desire, unlike his usual self."Mmph, you can't…!" Renee resisted and tried to push Justin away.But he grew more outrageous and stepped into the bathtub, the water soaking him. The frightened professional physical therapists stood outside and talked among themselves. Holly, the massage therapist smoothed her chest and said, "Oh, I'm embarrassed! I'm sure Mr. Baldwin didn't see anything, did he?"Nova, the top beautician, said sensibly, "You're overthinking. It isn't a big deal even if he saw anything. Do you want to hold him responsible for it? He came home with his fiancee. Stop imagining things.""No, I'm not overthinking. I'm just embarrassed. Y
