�I just so happened to find this gun. And as for the person who was attacked by the black bear, that night be the owner of this gun,� Stefan replied calmly.

�You managed your way through all that? Damn, you really are a lucky one! You�re no ordinary personat all!� Renee exclaimed again.

�Stefan truly is a toughie! He�s tougher than cement! Besides, he�s so calm and collected. Escaping through a dangerous place with no vision, surrounded by wild animals, and he�s not fazed at all! It�s like a walk in the park for him. I�m absolutely impressed!�

�You�re not that bad either. A woman, coming to such a dangerous zone and beating up a bear with her bare hands? Looks like I got to know you a little more.� Stefan smiled softly.

�Umm, well�� Renee felt extremely embarrassed, and asked, �When did you notice me? You� You probably didn�t hear anything, right?�

Thinking back to how she lost her cool earlier, she just wanted to dig a hole and hide herself like an ostrich.

�From when you were crying over my death.� Stefan answered truthfully without any hesitation.

Renee gasped and thought. �Oh god, that means he heard everything I said! Someone please just end me now, I can�t live on knowing I embarrassed myself this much!�

Stefan seemed to be in quite a good mood. He turned to Renee curiously, �I didn�t expect you to love me that much. You were willing to eat that bear�s wife just to take revenge for me. You�re prettynextreme.�

Renee scowled. �You ungrateful twat! You think it�s funny that I went mad, don�t you? Were you hoping that I would die?�

�At first, I really didn�t care if you survived or not. If anything, I did wish you�d be devoured alive by that bear, then I�d be free�� Stefan didn�t hide his cruel ideas.

�Really now? Then you sure are a free spirit, Mr. Hunt!� Renee bit down on her lip, trying her best to act nonchalant.

She knew she shouldn�t be upset. After all, Stefan currently viewed her as some madwoman who kidnapped him from the love of his life. Hence, it was only natural that he wanted her dead.

However, she just couldn�t help feeling sad regardless.

�But�� Stefan�s cold voice echoed through the silent woods, striking her heart. �I�ve changed my mind.

�What do you mean?� Renee looked back at the man, her lonely gaze glinting with anticipation.

�I�ve decided to stay,� Stefan replied.

�Really?� The woman beamed, her eyes sparkling with joy. �You�ve finally decided not to run away? You�ve finally realized that you can�t, haven�t you?�

�Not exactly.� Stefan�s expression was plastered with natural confidence. �I can leave as long as I want to, none of you will be able to find me.�

�Pfft!� Renee burst into laughter. �Just look at him! Even with his current state, he�s still the stubborn man I know.� JrNovels.com
