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
“What? You really told her that you want to reconcile?" Seraphina's expression immediately darkened.Stefan's confirmation stung the most. “Yes.”"However, it's in the past," he said honestly. "I'm not that dumb anymore."He then strolled down the steps with no emotion on his face. He didn't even glance her way as he went by.Renee remained locked in place, her cheeks flushed.She hadn't expected Stefan to hear her pompous statements earlier—she just wanted to annoy Seraphina. She herself thought it was immature to flaunt the attention she got from a guy in order to feel good about herself.She realized she had grown into the kind of person she despised.Seraphina was overjoyed, and she grinned widely. She embraced Stefan as if they were the closest friends and stood close to him. "That sounds more like it. If you turn into a simp, I'll be the first to judge you. You are Stefan Hunt, the most wealthy guy in Beach City. Do you realize how important that title is to you?"Stefan
Renee's question made Seraphina and Timothy curious. They stared at Stefan and waited for his answer.His face was emotionless as he said without hesitation, “I think that it's a strong alliance between two families as we are both affluent, so it’s a very good match.”Hearing this, she was stunned. She hadn’t expected him to be this honest. However, she couldn't deny that she felt sad.‘We were a failure, but they are a strong alliance. Knowing this hurts even more!’ She thought to herself unhappily.Meanwhile, Seraphina's eyes shone with happiness, and she was thrilled. “Stef, are you serious? Do you think that we are a good match for each other?”He didn't glance at her and instead focused his attention on Renee. He said cynically, "In contrast to my last disastrous marriage, we’re a perfect fit." It was as if he was purposely provoking Renee.“Oh my god! This is wonderful.” Seraphina jumped up and pulled Stefan’s hand as she said excitedly, “Since that’s the case, what are we
After Renee had left, Seraphina was even more thrilled. “Ms. Everheart is gone. Nobody can stop us now!”She looked up at Stefan and held his arm as she exclaimed, “Let’s go, Stef. Let’s get married!”However, he yanked his arm from her grasp, and his handsome face turned cold. “Enough. It's hilarious when it's a joke, but it's no longer funny when taken seriously."Seraphina's smile faded instantly, and she cautiously asked him, "Stef, what do you mean it's a joke?""When I said I'd marry you, I was joking. Take nothing seriously." His tone was ice cold as he spoke."Well, what about when you said we are a strong alliance and would make a perfect match?” She asked hesitantly.“That was a joke too. I thought you would understand since you have known me for so long,” Stefan said indifferently.“No. I don’t understand!” She clenched her fists tightly, feeling humiliated. "You can make jokes about everything except emotions and marriage. I believed you because you said it. I-”“Si
After Renee left Hunt Manor, she debated whether she should get married to Mr. Q before Stefan and Seraphina got married. The plan seemed a little crazy because if she went through with it, Mr. Q would officially be her husband. If she regretted it in the future, it would be her second divorce.However, if this was the only way to maintain custody of her children, she wouldn’t object to it.While she was lost in thought, her tire came in contact with a screwdriver, flattening it and causing her car to stop on the side of the road.Seraphina drove her sports car over and honked at Renee, then drove slowly to the roadside as well. She stuck her head out of the window, a smug expression on her face. “Miss Renee, is your tire flat? What a shame. Do you need me to give you a ride?”“It’s fine. I’ll call a tow truck.” Renee didn’t want to interact much with Seraphina and didn’t even spare a glance at her.“That’s so troublesome. I have a tow hook in my car, so I can tow you to the repai
