“Try it… if you’re not afraid of bing 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 finished passing him the gift?”


    As she walked down the stairs, she noticed Timothy returning from the garden, held by Seraphina.


    “What brings you here? You’ve already split up with Stef. Do you not understand the concept of a


    boundary?” Seraphina watched Renee emerge from Stefan’s room and acted like a woman who had


    found her husband cheating.


    Renee didn’t back down; instead, she remained in the centre of the stairwell, staring down at thedy


    below. “Who made the rule that an ex-wife can’t leave her ex-husband’s room? Shouldn’t you, as a


    single woman, keep your distance from a divorced man?”Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    “You!” Seraphina was at a loss for words and grabbed Timothy’s arm, coquettishly saying, “Grandpa


    Hunt, look at her! She ispletelycking in manners. Are these appropriate things for a divorced


    lady to say? I feel like she still wants to depend on Stef!”


    Timothy grinned and shook his head, remaining impartial and refusing to take sides. “I’m not sure about


    that, but it’s clear that Stefan is still reliant on Ren. I am the most familiar with his personality!”


    “Impossible!” Seraphina gritted her teeth and muttered angrily, “Stef is quite proud, so how can he rely


    on her? They would not have divorced if he still had affection for her. She must be the shameless one


    who can’t stop harassing Stef!”


    “Oh, it seems like you don’t know your ‘bro’ well enough, hmm?” Renee smirked, trying to anger


    Seraphina even more by testing her patience.


    “Your closest buddy may seem arrogant on the surface, but he’s a lover and a simp at heart. He almost


    always begs me not to abandon him and to give him another chance! It seems like just yesterday when


    he proimed his love to me in front of many coworkers. He stated he couldn’t forget me and wanted


    to rekindle our rtionship, but I turned him down!”


    Seraphina was so enraged that she strode over to Renee angrily. “Be quiet. You can say anything you


    want, but you can’t frame him like that. He’s my best friend.”


    She abruptly stopped speaking and turned to look behind Renee. “Stef! Did you hear what she had to


    say about you?”


    He was a few steps away from Renee. “She’s speaking the truth,” he remarked quietly, his back


    straight and his hands inside his pockets.
