“You’re toying with me again! How could you discuss such intimate topics in front of a woman?!”


    “What do you mean? This is merely a normal conversation between husband and wife…” Stefan said


    casually, but his eyes were filled with pride. “Don’t forget, we are legally married now, so this isn’t


    crossing any lines.”


    “Hmph, legally married?!” This angered Renee, and she scoffed. “You yed despicable tricks to


    obtain my documents, and bribed the registration personnel too! How could you bring that up with


    absolutely no shame?!”


    “Of course. But if you have any objections regarding this matter, you could just try to annul the


    marriage. We’ll see if the judge supports you on that.”


    “You really are a despicable man, Stefan Hunt. You’re a fraud!” Renee yelled at the man, helpless. She


    knew well enough that the judge wouldn’t support her even if she tried. Stefan Hunt was a perfectionist,


    and would definitely make sure to avoid every single loophole when carrying this n out.


    The woman knew that there was only one way for them to separate at this point, which was to make


    him agree to a divorce on his own ord. It was the quickest solution as well.


    “Stefan Hunt… Mr. Hunt… Please, I’m begging you. Please stop this nonsense and let me go.” Renee


    stopped acting tough and lowered her head, having no other way to resolve this. “Let’s just get a


    divorce. I won’t stop you from seeing the kids at all – you cane visit them any time, I promise.” She


    knew that the man had never wanted her, he just wanted to take the children from her through legal


    means. Hence, this was the biggestpromise she could make.


    Stefan smiled softly. Despite his condition, his intimidating, cocky aura still filled the room. “Do you take


    me for a fool, Everheart? Right now, I can have both you and the children. Why would I ever agree to a


    divorce?”


    This question was enough to make the woman explode, and she howled, “You jerk! What do you want


    from me?! Are you trying to drive me insane? Why don’t you kill me instead? I’d rather take death over


    this torture!”

    Stefan felt his heart ache. The man stared at her with cold eyes, asking, “Have you ever considered


    that I’m doing all of this, going through so much trouble, because I want to start over with you? And yet


    you’d rather die than give us another try?”


    “I can’t!”


    “Why not?”


    Renee rested her head in her hands, racking her brain and thinking of an excuse to escape this


    stubborn man. ‘This is so weird! Isn’t he cold and distant all the time? Why is he suddenly acting like a


    lovesick puppy? It’s like there’s no end to his pestering!’


    “B-Because I’m not a reliable person. I’m not suited to be a wife.”


    “I beg to differ.”


    “How am I suitable? I was just pretending to be a good wife back then. To be honest with you… I have


    a lot of bad habits, and dark secrets that I keep to myself too. If you found out about any of them, you


    would definitely want to stay away from me,” Renee said desperately, all in the hopes of escaping this


    marriage.


    “Secrets?” Unfortunately, this only piqued Stefan’s interest. “I love secrets. Do tell me about them.”


    “Alright then, you asked for it! I have violent tendencies, and I love beating people up.”


    “That’s not exactly a secret. I experienced it firsthand long ago.”


    “But did you know that I’m a murderer too?”
