Stefan remained silent; lips pursed as he focused on the road.


    The car lumbered towards a ring road, with the vast blue sea surrounding both sides of the road.


    Everything seemed especially bright and cheery.


    However, Renee found this quite terrifying, not daring to move a single muscle. She wondered, ‘What is


    he doing bringing me to the seaside? Is he still holding a grudge against me for biting his lipsst


    night? Is he trying to murder me and throw my corpse into the sea?’


    ‘Hey, Stefan, calm down! Don’t resort to such extremes, okay?” Renee said, sounding as if she was


    trying to manipte her victim.


    ‘I know I may have been inappropriate to you, but I didn’t mean to! You’re out here looking like a whole


    snack, and you were dressed so sexily!


    “You looked like an incubus, honestly! I just made a mistake that any other woman would make! So


    please just forgive me, just this once!


    ‘I promise I’ll never make the same mistake ever again! I won’t ever bite you even if you did everything


    to seduce me!”


    Stefan’s handsome face was initially expressionless, but hearing her made him chuckle lightly. “So,


    ording to your logic, I can bite you however I wish, as long as I view you as a snack? And I don’t


    even have to take responsibility for it?”


    “No way!’ Renee spoke in a justified tone. “I did it by ident! But if you did it, you would have been


    plotting it all along! So, in the face of thew, you’d bemitting a crime, while I’d be innocent!”


    Stefan was speechless, realizing just how bizarre this woman was. She was clearly holding a double


    standard in this case and was starting a blind argument.


    As the two continued with their banter, they soon arrived at the most famous church within Beach City.


    It was located in the middle of the ocean, with a blue roof and white walls. With that, it looked extremely


    beautiful and romantic from afar, with the seaplementing its colors.


    Normally, the church wasn’t open to the public, so newlyweds who were able to hold their wedding in


    such a ce would naturally have to be of rich families.


    It was rumored that if the couple exchanged rings before sunset, they would receive the blessing of the


    sea goddess. Their fates would then be bound forever, and they would be able to spend the rest of


    their married lives peacefully.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    The luxurious car was pulled into the church’s front parking lot, after which both Stefan and Renee got


    out.


    ‘Christopher and Cecilia’s wedding is today, isn’t it? Didn’t he invite you too? Let’s go together then.”


    Stefan said, striding forward with his hands in his pockets.


    After taking a few steps, he noticed that Renee wasn’t following behind. Instead, she was staring at the


    majestic building with a gloomy face.


    “Why aren’t youing?” Stefan turned back to ask the woman.


    “You should head in first. We’re divorced, remember? It would affect our reputations negatively if we


    showed up together.” Renee replied indifferently.


    Only now did she realize how far apart she was from Stefan. Their emotional void wasn’t about to


    decrease in an instant just because they had spent one peaceful night together.


    She had once naively imagined holding her wedding in this church with the man she loved back then.


    She wished to exchange rings right before sunset, receiving the blessings of the sea goddess.


    However, despite being the bride, she had absolutely no say in her own wedding, as the Hunts made


    all arrangements.


    In the end, the wedding was held in a five-star banquet hall. It was indeed very luxurious and generous


    of them, but it was too in. That wasn’t her dream wedding at all.


    Many viewed her as a rich littledy who had fallen from grace, an essory that married itself into the


    Hunt family. They thought she was just a soulless puppet, and what she would have wanted naturally


    never crossed their minds.


    She never wanted to return to that life, to be ignored all over again. Thus, she made sure to stay clear-


    minded at all times and to distance herself from Stefan.


    ‘Reputation?” Stefan raised a brow, his expression conflicted. Hethen let out a cold scoff and said,


    “Fine, do what you want.”


    The church was amazingly decorated, with pink roses lined along both sides of the red carpet.


    The Jacobs family was rather renowned within the city, after all. Despite not being within the Great


    Eight, the Great Eight themselves would usually show quite some respect towards them regardless.


    Undoubtedly, many rich and powerful guests were present. These were individuals who could even


    steal the spotlight away from famous celebrities.
