“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
Renee checked her wristwatch and noticed that it was getting late, so she decided to leave.Stefan smiled coldly and asked, "Do you not want the Rainbow Glaze?"Renee paused, inwardly thinking, 'Of course I do! Why else would I be under your bed?!'However, she kept up her cold and arrogant facade. "I don't want it anymore. Use it as a urinal or something!"Stefan was actually quite amazed by the woman's vulgarity. The Rainbow Glaze had been a renowned treasure for thousands of years, with many trying to get their hands on it. Hence, he never would've imagined Renee would view it as a urinal.'I knew women were trouble. Their sharp tongues can cut people up, especially those with weak hearts.'"If you want it, I can just give it to you. Then your efforts won't be wasted," the man said calmly as he stared at the woman's slender back.Renee was quite conflicted after hearing this. She had to admit that she was slightly swayed by this, even though she had just refused to take it a
Stefan had no idea that Renee liked building blocks, nor did he know of her extraordinary skills. His true intention was to dampen her spirit by giving her something she wasn't good at, but… the woman's performance made him view her in a different light.Renee could easily put a few irregularly shaped blocks together, forming them into a complete shape. It was obvious that her speed and technique exceeded the average person's."Huh, I didn't think you were a master at this," Stefan reluctantly admitted. Anyone else would've likely taken at least an hour to make those shapes, but Renee merely needed five minutes to achieve it. Her abilities were practically on his level.The woman didn't even need to look at the instructions, and she easily pieced another few blocks together. Her cherry lips curled upwards slyly, and she chuckled. "Well, you do have an odd mind, so I'm surprised you even think at all."She thought to herself, 'What a waste of intelligence. It's a shame he can't read
