Renee thought to herself, 'Isn't Stefan Hunt the most cocky and heartless person? How could he possibly have this many thoughts hidden away?'"Stefan, you're… you're joking, right? Or have you been drinking? Is this the alcohol talking?" She knew how low the man's alcohol tolerance was, so it was still a possibility that this was the case. The woman refused to believe that he would ever hold such deep love for her, especially considering their terrible past relationship with each other, and the fact that she had seen his sheer ruthlessness.The woman's question was just like a bucket of water, extinguishing all of Stefan's burning passion. Instantly, his rationality returned, and the longing in his eyes was quickly replaced with hostility. Stefan then let go of her hands and sneered, "Renee Everheart, is your heart made of stone? You really are the cruelest, most dense woman I have ever met!""Hey, don't try to pin the blame on me. You should know which of us is truly the cruelest
At night, Renee headed back to her apartment with the Rainbow Glaze. The place was rather lively, with Mr. Q playing with the children. There was even a hearty dinner left on the dining table just for her."What brings you here?" Renee asked casually as she closed the door. Compared to before, she was no longer against being around this man. Sometimes, she would even feel relieved to find him in her house when she returned."Didn't I tell you? I'm now your husband and the father of your two children, so I'm obligated to take care of you. It's my responsibility to make sure you come back to a warm meal and to keep the kids company," Mr. Q explained as he continued playing 'red light, green light' with the children.He didn't sound like he was joking at all and seemed to be truly genuine in everything he said."Yeah, Mommy! We're a family, so of course we're living together. Let me tell you a secret… Daddy Q picked us up from school today! Our classmates were so jealous that we had a
Mr. Q calmly described the situation as if he was an outsider in the scenario. Despite having lost the battle, he didn't seem to hold any resentment at all, and graciously accepted his defeat."You're kidding, right? How is that possible?" Renee was certain that Mr. Q was lying on purpose, all for the sake of toying with her."I'd believe it if you said the relic had historical value, but I refuse to believe that it can cure all diseases! This is real life, not some fantasy movie! If you keep bluffing, this thing is going to reveal its true form as a god or something!""You can choose to not believe me, but it is the truth. Stefan Hunt handed you something that he needs to survive, which means that he literally put his life in your hands. I'm sure he asked for something in return." Mr. Q raised an eyebrow questioningly."He didn't ask for much. He… he probably felt like he owed me too much, so he gave this to me… to make himself feel better about himself." Renee stammered, trying t
Mr. Q placed his hands together and replied, "If Stefan really were to fight you for custody, what do you think your biggest disadvantage would be?""I don't think I have any disadvantages." Renee seemed cocky, replying coldly. "I raised both of them, that's a big enough advantage. He has nothing against me.""If it was someone else, they might not be able to win against you, but this man is Stefan Hunt. He has Hunt Enterprise behind his back. As long as they wish it, both the court and the public would surely favor them without questions. If you don't have a perfect plan to counter his attacks, you might just lose horribly."Renee clenched her fists, looking slightly depressed. "What would be a perfect plan, then?""Back to my previous question. If Stefan were to fight for custody, I think your biggest disadvantage would be the environment you could provide for the children, not your financial status or education level…"Renee shook her head, visibly confused. "I don't get it."
Moments later, Renee realized the only solution really was to give the children a father, so that they could be a complete family. She thought, 'Do I really have to try it out with Mr. Q and get married to him?'The next day, Renee decided to return the Rainbow Glaze to Stefan after giving it some thought.Mr. Q had described the item as some kind of fantasy tool that had healing abilities, and she found it bizarre. However, now that she knew about it, she couldn't bring herself to feign ignorance. She would never forgive herself if Stefan's condition worsened without this relic.Renee checked her watch and noticed it was ten in the morning, which was during work hours, so Stefan was probably busy in Hunt Enterprise at the time. She still had no idea how to face the man after his confession, so she wanted to visit Hunt Manor during these hours to avoid him.Timothy was watering his plants at that moment. He soon noticed the maid bringing Renee over to him, which brought a bright sm
"Okay then!" Renee nodded and brought the Rainbow Glaze, along with a big basket of fresh cherry tomatoes, into the manor.Stefan's bedroom was on the second floor, and it was normally off-limits. After placing the basket of cherry tomatoes on the coffee table, Renee headed upstairs toward the man's room. At first, she was going to place the item by his doorstep but figured that it would be unsafe to leave such a precious relic outside. After a few minutes of pondering, she decided that it was best to just place it inside his room.With that, she tried to turn the doorknob but didn't expect the shut door to swing open so swiftly. She looked up in confusion and, to her horror, saw Stefan standing at the door with damp hair and an exposed torso. He merely had a pair of gray sweatpants on, making him seem casual, chic, and sexy at the same time. It really showed just how charming he was.Renee's face instantly turned red. She turned around and stumbled over her words. "I… I'm sorry,
The male anatomy was the body's most vulnerable area, and the effects of being injured there were awful.Stefan would make her life difficult if he became impotent because of her. She didn't want to be responsible for that, so she couldn't be careless.Stefan's expression clouded, and he grabbed her wrists and asked her harshly, "Renee, are you done? How much longer will you embarrass me?""How did I make you feel humiliated? The hit was quite hard, so it's best if you get checked at a hospital. You don't love your body enough to care for it, but you're upset with me for helping you arrange a doctor's appointment? You have no idea how to be appreciative!""I know you're a CEO who values your reputation, so you'd be embarrassed to have a check-up at the hospital. I can help you register anonymously, so don't just assume that I'm trying to embarrass you—it's for your own sake!" She responded angrily.“Haha… For my own sake?" His scowl turned into a sarcastic smile, and he pulled her
"Try it… if you're not afraid of becoming impotent!" Renee gritted her teeth and prepared to strike him where he was weak."Do you think I'm afraid of that?" Stefan, on the other hand, wasn't scared of her threats at all. He was calm, his eyes fixed on her crimson lips as he prepared to kiss her.“Don’t!” She closed her eyes, and rejection was written all over her face.The kiss she was expecting never came, and she slowly opened her eyes to find Stefan looking at her in disgust."Do you honestly believe I'm that perverted? You should know that I hate forcing others. You may leave now!" He stood up abruptly after speaking and didn't look at her again. Even though she had gained her freedom, Renee was suddenly hit with disappointment.She stood up and fixed her hair. She gazed at his icy back and wanted to say something before leaving, but she didn't."Ren, have you returned the item to him?"As she walked down the stairs, she noticed Timothy returning from the garden, held by
