Stefan nodded back. He looked cold and elegant, but his heart was pounding in his chest. �Well now, it does feel good to be legally married!�

He then brought Renee all the way to his limited edition Rolls-Royce, with Elijah opening the door to the backseat already.

�Mr. Hunt, is the young miss alright?� Elijah asked in concern. Since this was the most dangerous and crime-infested place in Beach City, he was worried that Renee had been in danger. He even had some of their men on standby, heavily armed. If they received orders from Stefan, they would demolish the entire port in seconds.

�It�s fine, she�s just drunk. She also beat up a few grown men, and almost tore apart the entire bar,� Stefan said casually, placing the woman gently into the car.

�Pfft!� Elijah was usually quite composed, but even he couldn�t help but burst into laughter. He sighed in amusement and said, �Looks like the young miss is still as radiant as ever � she never disappoints.�

�Cut the dawdling, let�s head back to the Hunt manor.� Stefan shot Elijah a cold glance.

�Alright!� Elijah nodded obediently and quickly went to the driver�s seat, starting the engine as ordered.

The roads in Water Dock were quite bumpy, and even a luxurious car would struggle with such uneven roads. Renee was initially fast asleep, but the car suddenly went over a large rock, causing her head to bump into the car door. She immediately woke up, her eyes tearing from the pain.

�Ow!� She whimpered pitifully.

�I�m so sorry!� Stefan�s face was filled with guilt, and his fingers caressed her head softly as he comforted her. �There, there, it�ll stop hurting after you blow on it, see?�

�Hmm? It really doesn�t hurt anymore� You�re so nice to me!� Renee chirped, still half-conscious. She treated Stefan like a pillow, placing her head back onto his lap and wrapping her arms around his waist tightly.

Stefan�s body went as stiff as a board. He didn�t dare to move a muscle, worried that he might disturb the woman on his lap.

�You� Do you really think I�m nice?� He asked her carefully.

�Mhm! Of course you are!� Renee curled up against him like a contended kitten, nodding gently. �You gave me the warmth of a home, that�s why I was willing to marry you and become your wife.�

�You�re finally facing the truth� Actually, Everheart, I-� Just as Stefan was about to reveal his true feelings to her, the woman interrupted him cheerfully.

�You�re not like my trashy ex-husband at all � he�s a wolf in sheep�s clothing at best. You may think you�re ugly, but you have a beautiful heart. I am incredibly lucky to be your wife!� Renee confessed with a shy smile.

The atmosphere in the vehicle suddenly became tense. �So, that means that person is much more important than Stefan Hunt to you?� Stefan clenched his jaw, questioning angrily.

�Are you kidding?� Renee smacked Stefan lightly, still drunk, then started hugging him even tighter.

�Mr. Q, you�re the most important person to me now. Why else would I marry you? Stefan Hunt is nothing to me, I moved on from him four years ago� That jerk was probably jealous of your personality and looks, and that�s why he scarred your face! Don�t worry, I�ll definitely get revenge for you!�

�Really now?� Stefan scoffed. �And how are you going to do that?� JrNovels.com
