"Who cares?!" Renee felt enraged for some reason, despite her being in a good mood at the start. "Do you lack tact or something? Why would you even mention that jerk out of nowhere? It's repulsing!"Stefan's expression darkened, yet still hid his anger. "What did he do to you to make you hate him so much?""He's a jerk. That's what he is!" Renee clenched her jaw. "I slept with him for all but one night, and he's threatening me with it the next day and made me cook skewers for him and his friends… Honestly, how could he?!""Is that it?" Stefan found it hilarious. He sometimes found Renee quite complicated, so much so that it felt like he never really understood her. Yet, at times, he found her as simple-minded as a child, devoid of cunning thoughts behind those crystal eyes.This juxtaposition made his heart feel rather conflicted as well.His rationality told him he should stay away from her, yet he still subconsciously wanted to get closer. That was why he came up with the ridi
Stefan was still concentrating on treating her wounds, whereas Renee's free hand caressed his head all of a sudden, like petting a dog."Can I ask you a question, pretty boy?" Renee asked as she brushed through Stefan's hair gently.The man froze and lifted his gaze, looking at the woman who wore an odd expression, slightly alarmed. "What is it?""Oh come on, don't be so nervous, it's not like I'm going to eat you up…" Renee's face flushed as she collected herself before being completely straightforward with him. "I'd just like to know if you're really experienced with love, since you're such a popular star, especially… you know, that type of experience? Like, are you super good at it?!""What type?""We're all adults here, so don't play dumb with me now. Of course, I'm talking about sex!" Renee didn't want to beat around the bush and came forth.That was because she felt like she could be her true self in front of Isaac. She could say anything on her mind, and she didn't need to
The man placed the cotton bud and antiseptic cream aside, placing his knee onto the sofa as he trapped her between the couch. His voice was deep as he asked, “If you’re so curious, why don't we try it out?"Renee looked towards the approaching man, feeling quite nervous. She gulped hard and said feebly, "Try… what?""Didn't you say you wanted to know how it felt being intimate with other men? You know I'm experienced, so maybe I could give you the answer!" Stefan placed his arm on the backrest, using the other hand to lift the woman's chin."Yeah, but isn't that… kind of inappropriate?" Renee questioned, leaning into the couch and staying still like an obedient little rabbit.She really didn't have much experience in this field, and it would make her seem quite clumsy when compared to a professional."You're already my sugar mommy. Isn't it normal for me to provide service for you?" Stefan's eyes were fixated on Renee's cherry-red lips, his chest burning with desire.'How could t
Renee seemed to be eager to learn and gained the courage to continue on under the man's guidance.The air was filled with sexual tension, with only their panting audible through the quiet room. The atmosphere felt so hot that it could boil like water.Just as the two were about to take it to the next step, Renee restrained herself with the last bit of rationality she had left."No! We can't!" The woman stopped giving into Stefan's advances with sheer will, pushing him away as hard as she could.Her lips were now reddened as a result of their experiment. The warm lighting made her look quite attractive in this state.Naturally, Stefan's lips were no better than hers—there were still a few visible marks left by Renee, after all—evidence clearly showing all the inappropriate things that they had just done."This is… just too much! What have we done?!" Renee covered her face with both hands and whined, unable to face the man. "I'm so sorry, Isaac. I Was too reckless. I've tainted you
The woman's words put Stefan into deep thought. 'Yeah, she's right. Being single gives you fewer worries for sure.'As someone who was usually more rational and collected, he knew that he shouldn't allow himself to fall deep into this pit called love. He shouldn't allow himself to lose control.-As Renee's burns were nearly healed, she returned to her own apartment. Her children missed her very much, to the point they didn't want to let go of her."Mommy, you've been working so hard lately! You haven't been home for days. Adie and I feel so bad for you. Here, let me give you a massage…" Abigail said as she started massaging Renee's shoulders and legs. Although the little one didn't have much strength, Renee still found it quite relaxing."Mommy's having it so hard right now. Looks like I can't delay my plan any longer!" Aiden frowned and spoke in a serious tone, looking like a carbon copy of his father.At the time, Renee lay on the couch, eating some fruit slices while enjo
When night fell, Renee drove to Carmine Pawnshop in Water Dock, bringing Abigail and Aiden with her, as planned.Compared to the 'thrilling' experience she had last time, her entire way there was a rather smooth affair as if someone had cleared the way for her. Many of the people there were strangely courteous, while some even handed her bouquets of flowers. They were close to putting out a red carpet for her."Huh, this is weird. Did they have a change of heart or something? What happened to those vicious people? Why are they so gentle and kind now?" Renee asked under her breath as she looked towards the flower necklace around her neck, visibly confused.Aiden was in the back seat, showing a knowing look as he pointed out the obvious. "That's because they see you as their queen now! Of course, they'd have to give their queen the best treatment they can provide.""What queen? I don't even know them! It's not like we're in a movie!""You don't have to know who they are. You just ne
"Daddy Q, we came to see you with Mommy!" Abigail skipped to the man with a bright smile as if she were a little angel.Mr. Q was still wearing a mask at the time, but his alluring charm was evident as he lifted his gaze, especially when her eyes met his.With that, both of them froze as though sparks were flying in the air between them."I heard from the kids that you like eating fish, especially steamed grouper… So I'm making this just for you. I hope you like it." Mr. Q said in a calm tone. It sounded as if they had been married for years, and this was a special gift for his one and only wife.The little ones looked toward Renee, their innocent eyes glittering with pride. "See, Mommy? We told you Daddy Q is great!"Renee was speechless. 'What the heck is this guy saying? It's not even like we're close, so why is he saying that he's making this just for me? He's clearly just putting on an act to win the kids over!'"Ahaha, thank you so much, Mr. Q. You must be a busy man, and y
After leaving the kitchen area, Renee walked around Carmine Pawnshop with Chase following next to her. The man warmly presented every single exhibition hall they had in the area."Ms. Everheart, this is the Eastern Treasures Hall. It stores many internationally known treasures, such as sculptures of the twelve zodiac signs, gilt jade seals, ancient jadeites…"And this is the Western Treasures Hall. There's a scepter made of pure gold, a diamond crown, and even a sculpture of Venus…"And here is the Rare Findings Hall. Here, you will find the last sample of a Carolina Parakeet, a thousand-year-old lucid ganoderma, and a ten-thousand-year-old amber…"Renee's mouth was left agape through the entire journey, a testament to how absolutely stunned she was. She was quite surprised to find the pawnshop holding such wealth. Any of the treasures they possessed could definitely exceed an average company's yearly profit. From a financial standpoint, Mr. Q was indeed quite a reliable candid
