The sun was setting, and sunlight shone on Renee''s face as she tilted her head towards it. "You want


    to know?" "Of course." Jovan looked serious. "I want to know everything about you, including your


    sincere thoughts." He knew that Renee didn''t like him, at least not yet, but they did get on well


    sometimes. The thought of it gave him hope.


    "It''s because I want to buy time for Stefan," Renee answered honestly without any hesitation.


    Jovan abruptly stopped peeling the grape in his hand, his heart aching.


    "If you''re spending time with me, you won''t have the time to go after him. Then, he''ll have the chance to


    make a counterattack." Renee tried to be as cruel and hurtful as possible.


    "Okay, I know." Jovan gave himself a second to be sad before he reverted to his shameless self. "I


    admit that I didn''t have the time to manage thepany or try to look into Stefan''s affairs. It''s like what


    they said in the ancient poems: "the king ignores his work because of his romance." Nothing else is


    important with you by my side. I won''t care about anything else." He finally understood why Stefan


    decisively chose to retreat when Jovan suggested having a battle. If the result of a retreat was to be


    with his beloved and spend quality time together every day, he would want nothing else.

    A sigh escaped Renee, and she felt sorry for Jovan. Hence, she tried to persuade him, "Stefan and I


    love each other, but your love is unrequited. Listen to me-it''s not worth it." "I know whether it''s worth it


    or not." Jovan sneered, knowing that the feelings might havee from vengeance and jealousy. He


    faked a smile and asked, "And are you sure that you and Stefan love each other?" "Why wouldn''t we?"


    "If he really cares so much about you, why isn''t there any news about him? Why didn''t hee and


    take you away?" Jovan stared at Renee and added, "To be honest, I texted him your location." "Then


    maybe he hasn''t seen the text yet." Renee didn''t doubt Stefan''s love for her. "He went to a very


    dangerous ce to find herbs for me, and that ce has no signal. It''s very possible that he didn''t get


    the text." "A very dangerous ce..." Jovan had heard about that. "I know he encountered some


    trouble just to save you, but it’s been a while since he contacted you. Have you ever thought that he


    might be dead-" "Shut up!" Renee snapped suddenly. "He''lle and pick me up soon, then you''ll see!


    He''ll make you suffer!" "Women always like to lie to themselves." Jovan''s expression turned icy."


    We''ll see about that. It''s either he dies... or I do!"
