She couldn�t help but wonder if things would�ve been different for them if she had just done something back then.

As time passed, the clock soon struck 3 AM, which was usually when the human body felt most exhausted.

Renee was starting to feel drowsy, and her movements were slowing down. However, she knew that she couldn�t sleep now, as she wanted to get the Rainbow Glaze. She simply had to finish this project before dawn arrived.

�I�m getting sleepy.� Stefan stretched as he looked at the Lego set that was only partially complete. He turned to the woman and said, �We�re not going to finish it anyway, so why don�t you get some shut eye?�

Renee bit down on her tongue so that she could stay awake. �You can go ahead and sleep if you�re tired. I can finish this on my own. I just hope you can keep your promise and not play any tricks this time!�

�Are you sure you can do this on your own?� Stefan smirked. �Normally it�d take at least half a month to finish building something like this.�

�Well I�m not the average person, so I don�t need that much time,� Renee said in a determined and arrogant tone.

Noticing the woman�s fatigued eyes, Stefan sighed. �I�m being serious, you can go get some rest first. I�ll give you the Rainbow Glaze later.�

�There�s no need for that!� Renee�s movements quickened as she responded, �We made a deal, so I have to keep my word. I don�t need your pity.�

�Fine then, I�m going to bed.� This was the first time Stefan had ever seen Renee�s sheer stubbornness. Hence, he decided not to say anything else and headed to the bathroom within the master bedroom.

Once he was done with showering, he noticed Renee curled up on the floor sleeping, still holding some blocks in her hands.

�Oh, Renee Everheart, you sure do talk big.� Stefan chuckled as he stared at the woman, his gaze softening. Barefooted, he quietly approached the woman and picked her up in a bridal style.

Renee was simply fatigued, as she had been pulling quite a few all-nighters. She clung to the man with both her arms wrapped around his neck, drifting in and out of sleep.

Stefan lowered his head, looking at the woman fast asleep in his arms, and a wave of affection overwhelmed him. He was usually a hostile person, and disliked being too close to anyone. However, he couldn�t help but wish this moment would last a little longer, so that he didn�t have to break away from her soft embrace�

�What kind of spell is this, woman? How do you always make me look past my principles time and time again?� He murmured as he placed her on the bed, gently brushing the hair out of her face.

Suddenly, he realized what he was doing, and was about to get up to leave. At that moment, Renee hugged his waist tightly and refused to let go. She mumbled under her breath, �You can�t leave, I wanna hug.�

It was already afternoon when Renee woke up the next day. She was on a soft large bed that had a relaxing fragrance emanating from its sheets. She soon realized that it was Stefan�s unique scent.

It was said that a person could identify the scent of someone they loved very much; it wasn�t the smell of their perfume, but the scent coming from within their very souls. It was likely that Stefan was considered somewhat important in her heart, which was why Renee could still recognize his unique scent.

�Damn it!� Renee jumped up from the bed as soon as she realized where she was, the shock waking her up in an instant. She was the only one left in the room at the time, as Stefan seemed to have gone off somewhere already.

�Ugh, how could I have fallen asleep?� Renee slapped herself on the forehead, frustrated that she hadn�t finished building the Lego set. Furthermore, she just had to end up sleeping in Stefan�s bed. JrNovels.com
