It had only been half an hour, and Stefan started thinking about her again.
Stefan thought Renee would feel the same as him, with a me burning in her heart, but who would
have thought that Renee would wear a cold face the entire time? She said with a stoic face and without
even looking at him, “Let’s get off the ne!”
Renee’s sudden change in attitude made Stefan very confused. Why was she suddenly so cold?
Stefan vividly remembered how Renee followed his rhythm and blossomed like a shy rose under him
earlier. Was she disowning him after sleeping with him once?! However, considering the children were
still present, he could not say anything more.
Stefan opened the cabin door. Soon, the family of four got off the ne one by one.
“Wow! It’s so beautiful! We’re finally back!”
Abby took deep breaths like a stranded fish finally returning to the ocean.
Sun Ind had a marine climate with temperatures that hovered around 20 degrees all year round. It
was neither cold nor hot and had stable weather without storms or heavy rains.
The natural white sandy beach trailed for kilometers. The ind was lush with coconut palms and the
fields of sunflowers Renee and her family nted.

The sea was blue and clear under the sea breeze. It was no exaggeration to call this ce a heaven
on earth!
“Adie, let’s go pick up shells. We’ve been away for so long. I’m sure you’re going to find lots of shells
on the beach, even pearls perhaps!”
“Okay. Let’s pick lots and make a ne for Mommy…”
The two little ones ran hand in hand on the soft sand like they did when they were young. They enjoyed
absolute freedom and absolute security on a private ind like this.
Stefan and Renee followed behind the two little ones leisurely. They strolled with no hurry, leaving their
footprints on the sandy beach.
“Uhm…” Stefan wanted to say something but hesitated several times. He could sense that something
was wrong with Renee, but he could not tell what was wrong.,
“Are you unhappy?” Stefan finally asked.
“I’m not unhappy. Why do you ask?”
Renee felt emotional looking at the sea she’s lived in for four years. Her delicate and pretty face
revealed a bit of mncholy.
“Why do I feel that you don’t want to talk to me?”
“No, I’m not. I’m always answering you!”
“You’re only answering questions, which is the problem. I think… You’re not passionate about me
anymore.”
Stefan was a big man, towering at nearly one point nine meters. Instead of his usual cool and arrogant
look, heined like a man distressed by love and said, “A-are you done and over with me?”
“Huh?”
“You’re tired of me. You don’t feel any excitement with me and don’t love me anymore. Is that why
you’re so cold?”
