Chapter: 1024
�Hooligan!� Renee�s cheeks flushed, and her body became warm. She didn�t want to admit it, but she was physically attracted to him. They were like opposite poles of a magnet � they couldn�t help but be attracted to one another while they were together, and keeping them apart took a lot of strength.
�I am, indeed, a hooligan. Do you dislike hooligans?� His delicate fingers stroked her soft cheek, and a devilish grin appeared on his face. �I�m tired of being a gentleman. Being a hooligan is more enjoyable.�
Renee finally came back to her senses. Stefan�s kisses, embraces, and power were addictive � they felt great, but once hooked, they were difficult to walk away from.
She vowed she would never fall into his trap again! She raised her hand, preparing to smack him across the face.
His response was faster though, and he grabbed her wrists, held them above her head, and grinned. �I know you�re skilled, but I�m not too bad either. How could I pass up this chance if you came here willingly?�
�Try it� if you�re not afraid of becoming 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 the lady 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?�
�You!� Seraphina was at a loss for words and grabbed Timothy�s arm, coquettishly saying, �Grandpa Hunt, look at her! She is completely lacking 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. JrNovels.com
