Chapter: 1327
After that, she regretted doing so. Despite her efforts to imitate Seraphina�s voice, Stefan was too smart to have not noticed the difference.
The man smiled, speaking in a knowing voice. �You were reckless. You�re not Seraphina. She hates Renee too much to ever say anything good about her. Let me take a guess as to who you are��
Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, falling into deep thought. �Are you Cecilia? Or Charlotte? Or are you Shirley��
�Oh, I know. You must be Layla, the new caretaker my mother hired because I�ve never heard of your voice before!�
Renee was initially consumed by sorrow, with her tears falling down like pouring rain. However, the man�s questions made her roll her eyes instead.
�How unexpected, Stefan Hunt, you had more women in line apart from Desrosiers and Murphy?�
�That�s four other women that you�ve just guessed! You even assumed I�d be the caretaker you�ve never even met! What about me?!� �Is he really still in love with me, or is he just faking it?�
Noticing that the woman wasn�t replying, Stefan continued. �Whoever you are, I just know you�re not Renee. Else why would she not dare to face me when she�s sitting right beside me? Why would she care for me but not dare to give me even a single hug?�
�That�s not her style.�
Renee was stunned, watching Stefan silently.
�But if you really are Renee, hug me. I said I�m willing to forgive you no matter what, right?� Stefan opened up his arms, holding onto the last bit of hope in his mind, waiting for the woman�s embrace.
Although he was blind, he was not stupid. He could tell that this woman was imitating Seraphina�s voice on purpose. However, he just wasn�t sure if she was Renee.
Hence, he went against his usual behavior and rambled on, hoping to help relieve her mental weight so that she�d reunite with him.
He waited for such a long time to the point he found himself acting too desperately as well, and yet the woman still wasn�t doing anything.
�I knew it. You�re disgusted by me. I am blind, and I can�t even take care of my basic necessities on my own. I don�t deserve you anymore.� Stefan laughed at himself with his arms still open, waiting for her regardless.
He thought to himself, �This is the last chance I�m giving her.�
�I can throw my dignity away and forgive her for her faults. All I want is a simple life with her.�
Renee covered her mouth, staring back at the sad lonely man. She didn�t dare to utter a sound, sobbing quietly instead.
She told herself over and over again that she must not give in. That was because she made a deal with the gods. She had to leave him in order for him to be safe.
She just didn�t want to risk anything after he barely survived what she put him through. JrNovels.com
