Chapter: 1133

�I�ll show you that no one else is a better fit for your mother than me!�

�Alright. I�m hoping you won�t let me down.� Adie spoke like an adult as he reached an arrangement with Stefan.

The father and son bumped fists, and for the first time, the sight of Stefan�s massive hand colliding with Adie�s petite one seemed to be peaceful.

Four generations of the family gathered together that day and ate supper amicably.

Everyone left Renee and Stefan alone at night so they could have some private time together. She wheeled him to his bedroom, and the atmosphere felt loving.

�You must be tired today� Rest up. I�ll go get some rest as well. The servant will arrive later to assist you with cleaning.� Renee carefully tucked her hair behind her ear and prepared to leave.

Before she could, Stefan gripped her slender wrist and gazed at her intently. �We pretended to be in love for an entire day, isn�t it pointless if you leave now?�

�Didn�t we agree that this is all a ruse? They�ve fallen asleep, so it�s time to call it quits.�

�But I want it to be real.� He softly took her hand and put it on his handsome face. He was like a lion who had let go of his pride to beg for a pat on the back.

�You want it to be real, too, right?�

�I�� She couldn�t find the words to reply. His stubble pricked her palm as she stroked his face, and her heart pounded in her chest.

�Stay. I want us to sleep together� like a married couple.� His voice was thick with emotion, and it made her heart ache.

Renee�s face reddened immediately, and she protested, �But� but you hurt your back. How do you intend to sleep?�

�Hahaha! I know you�re excited, but calm down,� he whispered lustfully as he wrapped his arm around her waist and gently laid his head on her lap. �My back will be healed in a matter of days. By then, I�d have fulfilled my obligation as a husband and let you experience the delight of being a wife. But right now, I only want to sleep close to you.�

�Hooligan!� Her cheeks reddened even more when she realized she had misread his intentions. �I�m not interested in having sex with you. It�s only that you never mentioned it, so I assumed��

�Then let me make it clear.� He paused before continuing solemnly, �Renee, as your husband, I want to sleep with you without any other intentions.�

�Okay, that�s enough. You may not be concerned about your pride, but I am.� Her cheeks became bright crimson as she covered his lips.

�I�m not sure what other heinous things may come out of his lips if I let him continue,� she thought.

She had no idea the cold and haughty Stefan had such a sexual side, which surprised her. Renee said she would go, but her heart wanted to stay. She washed up after assisting Stefan, and changed into a gorgeous black lace nightgown.

�It�s better if we act this out well to avoid exposing ourselves,� she said seriously to him. JrNovels.com
