Although Stefan was cold and unfriendly, he always treated his elders with respect and patience, especially his grandfather who doted on him ever since he was a kid.“Brothers my foot! You're a man and she's a woman. If you live together for a prolonged period of time, even if you're innocent, people would talk. That's why Old Murphy is so anxious. He's asking me for an explanation every day.”Timothy was anxious too. Years had gone by, but his grandson would not reunite with Renee nor start a new relationship. Did he want to remain single his whole life?Then the Hunt family line would end with him!“I don't have any other explanation except that we're brothers. If we had feelings for each other, we would have gotten together a long time ago. I believe Seraphina has no special feelings for me either, so stop speculating.”Stefan spoke calmly. He was a bit tired, so he wanted to take a shower and get a good night's sleep.His gaze suddenly fell on the anime merchandise on the des
Renee did not know that the glass of the cabinet containing the various LEGO models had a special surface. It was not reflective from the front, but it was reflective from the side.Coincidentally, Stefan happened to be standing to the side of the glass cabinet. He only had to lower his gaze slightly to see Renee, who was hiding under the bed.After discovering that the person hiding in his room was not an assassin but was just Renee, Stefan suddenly did not feel tired anymore. As if he had been injected with stimulants, he suddenly felt really energetic.His thin lips unconsciously curled into a smile.Unless he was mistaken, she must be here to steal the Rainbow Glaze. What a crude solution she came up with!Stefan gently raised his thick eyebrows, determined to play a trick on her.He sat on the sofa and crossed his legs, sitting elegantly.He rubbed his forehead with his long fingers and shook his head helplessly. He started complaining to Timothy, "Grandpa, you have no idea
“Why? I knew it. You're lying. You're slandering her.”“That's not it.”Stefan continued to complain and paint himself as the victim. "I just remembered that she blocked me. See? Not only did she splash wine and coffee on me, she also blocked off my attempts to make contact with her... She's giving me physical and mental abuse. No matter how strong I am mentally, I'd still feel sad and hurt.”Oh, that's right, she already blocked him a long time ago. His calls could not reach her.Renee heaved a sigh of relief, but what he said next made her furious.That bastard! He's completely slandering her!He made it sound like she's a cold-blooded demon while he's an innocent angel. He never explained why she blocked him in the first place and why she would splash drinks on his face!“I've tried my best to win her back. I gave her my everything, but she...”Stefan covered his handsome face with his large hand. Depression and pain enshrouded his body. He looked like he was on the verge of
Who was that? Bring what here?Renee could not hear the conversation very clearly from under the bed.But what was certain was that she would have to stay under the bed for a lot longer.'Damn it... Are you serious? I'm not gonna be stuck here all night, am I?'Renee thumped the floor in frustration. She was gonna go crazy!!!About ten minutes later, Seraphina knocked on the door of Stefan's room.“That was quick.”Stefan expressed his surprise when he opened the door.“Of course!”Seraphina's smile was as bright as the sun. She pounced on Stefan, put her arms around his neck, and said, "I actually called you after I've already reached Hunt Manor. I knew you must be here, and I was right! We understand each other so well. We really are bros!”Stefan had long gotten accustomed to Seraphina's intimate behavior. He did not feel like there was anything inappropriate with how she behaved.He let the woman hug him and rubbed her freshly-styled hair, then said mockingly, "You came
She knew that Stefan had loved Lego blocks since he was young, so whenever she saw a special edition set, she would immediately buy it for him under the guise of being his 'homie'. Every time she watched Stefan open up his present like a little kid on Christmas, she felt extremely happy.The X2 spaceship model on his glass shelf was also a gift from her. Seeing the man build and place her gift on the most eye-catching spot in his room, she figured she must be somewhat important to him. This belief made her love for him grow even stronger. Stefan took out the tens of thousands of blocks and sat down on the floor with his legs crossed. He looked quite excited to start assembling it.Seraphina sat down as well, hugging Stefan from behind and placing her chin on his shoulder. She asked him cheekily, "If you like my gift this much, shouldn't you give me a reward in return?"Stefan didn't look up from the blocks but said generously, "What do you want? I'll give you anything.""What if
Seraphina had only mentioned marriage for the sake of gauging Stefan's opinion on it—she had never expected him to take her question seriously at all. To her immense shock, Stefan had ended up… agreeing with her.It felt like a dream come true to the woman, as if the high and mighty star that she had loved for so long had finally fallen into her hands. "If you're willing to marry me, I'll let you take over the Murphy family business too. I just want to enjoy life because I don't have any idea on how to run a business at all. I'll feel much better with you handling the Murphy business."Seraphina had already envisioned their wonderful life together after marriage. She grabbed the man's arm, looking at the crystal chandelier above their heads as she said happily, "We'll get a villa up west, and decorate the place however we want. You like anime and Lego blocks, right? We can have a room just for your figurines! I'll buy you the rarest figurines and the hardest Lego sets to build…"
Renee's body tensed up instantly, sweat dripping from her forehead. She didn't even dare to breathe, thinking, 'Oh, I'm so doomed…'She wasn't worried that Stefan wouldn't let her go, she just felt embarrassed about this whole ordeal. She constantly called the man a pervert, but her secretly hiding under his bed was even more perverted than his usual antics!"Dude, you dropped one," Seraphina sighed as she saw the block rolling away. She stood up and walked towards the bed to help him get it. "You have to be careful, you know? I had to go through a lot to get you this set… Ahhh!"The woman had just gotten down on all fours, peering under the bed to see where the block was. To her shock, Seraphina saw Renee hiding there, and she let out a piercing shriek."Under your bed, she… she…" Seraphina's face went pale as she stammered, still pointing at Renee shakily. She couldn't seem to find the words she wanted to say.Stefan, on the other hand, just smirked knowingly. "Come out, then. A
However, Renee wasn't afraid at all. She smirked at the woman and said cockily, "Go ahead, I'll be waiting.""Y-You!" Seraphina sputtered angrily, not expecting such a response from Renee. She quickly grabbed Stefan's arm and whined, "Stef, just look at this woman! She literally committed a crime, but doesn't have any remorse! How could someone be so shameless?! You shouldn't let her off so easily!"Stefan nodded, his handsome face serious. "You're right, I shouldn't. So… you should head home for now, I'll punish her myself.""Wh… What?" Seraphina blinked at him in disbelief. Renee was the one who was supposed to be punished, but Seraphina was the one being chased out of the room. Now, all her righteous indignation just made her seem like a nosy prick instead."You know, she's still my ex-wife. It's very likely that she hid in my room because she still has feelings for me, and she's probably doing this to win me back…" Stefan explained as he smiled meaningfully at Renee. Stefan t
