�Thank you. Stop flattering me. I was too young and inexperienced, so I was tricked by your buddy. Now we even have two kids. I might as well make do with it.�

Renee waved her hands. Although she appeared reluctant, she could not hide the joy and gentleness in her eyes.

�Since you�d just make do with it, why didn�t you make do with me instead?� Xavier broke into a frivolous smile, and his charming eyes became quite bewitching as he said ambiguously, �I made a bet with Stefan four years ago, and you were nearly mine��

�Oh?� Renee immediately became curious as she immediately asked, �What kind of bet was that? Tell me.�

However, Stefan maintained a cold expression and warned Xavier grumpily. �It happened so long ago, so there�s no need to mention it. Don�t forget that you�re talking about your buddy�s wife.�

�Pfft! Stefan, calm down. I told you I�m not Chris. Of course, I know that my friend�s wife can�t be coveted. I just feel a little regret��

Xavier laughed in a carefree but wicked manner, but the deep sadness in his eyes was unmistakable. �When you went missing four years ago, I made a bet with Stefan. If I had found you before him, I would forget the so-called friendship and boldly pursue you. Unfortunately, I wasn�t lucky. I thought I found you, but I got an ill-fated relationship instead�

�I always tell myself how nice it would be if the one I found at the underground casino in Water Dock back then were you!�

�Er�� For a moment, Renee felt slightly awkward because she did not know what kind of response she should make.

She and Xavier were good friends. Their friendship was extremely precious. However, his sudden ambiguous speech made things very awkward.

As a result, Stefan�s face became gloomy. �I told you. She�s your buddy�s wife. Stop your nonsense!�

He knew that Xavier was frivolous and playful. Xavier always changed girlfriends, not to mention his unceasing appetite for flirting with any woman he came across.

However, he knew very well that Xavier was never sincere, especially when he flirted with women at will. The only time that he was serious was when it was Shirley.

Coincidentally, Shirley had a face very much similar to Renee�s. Hence, Stefan could not help but worry�

�Bro, why are you so nervous?�

Xavier�s lips curled into a mischievous smile. He remained as unpredictable as ever. �You�re the one who invited me here, so shouldn�t you at least show some confidence?�

The two men were locked in an invisible battle. The atmosphere became weirdly tense.

�Can you two� act normally?�

Renee gulped and suggested cautiously.

Xavier�s beautiful eyes immediately curled into crescent moons as he beamed at Stefan. He patted Stefan�s shoulder and said, �Haha, just kidding. Look how scared Stefan is. He�s worried that his wife would run away with someone else�� JrNovels.com
