�Well, it isn�t a price, but rather, a choice you have to make.� Jovan took a deep breath. It was rare to see such calmness and rationality on his handsome face. �If you�re willing to live an isolated life with me, I�ll give H Group up. I�ll even stop meddling in all those disputes and fights.�

�That�s it? I just have to go with you?� Renee asked in bewilderment. She thought that he would make an outrageous request such as serving him or something like that, and had been prepared to slap and scold him for being a pervert.

Surprisingly� all he wanted was that.

�That�s right. That�s all I want.� Jovan closed his eyes, longing clear on his face. �We�ll find a secluded place away from everyone and live a peaceful life.�

�Er�� Renee was slightly stunned. Jovan wasn�t a stupid man, and he was considered pretty crafty to have been able to scheme and snatch H Group in the end. However, in the end, he was just a lovestruck fool. He had done so much to get here, but all he wanted was to lead a quiet life with her.

He was clearly an antagonist, but why wasn�t he ruthless and cruel like one?

Jovan continued humbly, �Don�t worry, I just want you to live a quiet life with me. I won�t force you if you�re unwilling to do other stuff.�

Renee retorted, �Do you think you can?�

Jovan said softly, �You won�t know unless you give me a chance.�

When Renee saw his gaze growing hungry, she quickly changed the topic. �It sounds like the price is pretty reasonable. I�ll think about it.�

After all, she planned to disappear from Stefan�s life the day he recovered, and let him be with Seraphina.

�Okay, I�ll give you three minutes to consider. I want a definite answer by then.� Jovan suppressed his joy and pretended to be calm. Three minutes later, Jovan inquired eagerly, �Have you thought it through? Are you willing to leave with me?�

Renee bit her lip. Although it had only been three minutes, it was enough for her to think it over carefully. �I�ll go with you, but� I have one small request.�

�What�s your request?� Jovan was in a good mood as he stared at Renee with bright eyes. He thought excitedly, �Yes! She promised me! She agreed to it!�

He felt like he had finally gained victory after eighteen years of fighting; it was an indescribable feeling. He was more than willing to grant her wish � he would give her the moon if she asked him to.

�I can go with you, but I have to be with Stefan until he�s fully recovered and can see again,� she explained firmly. That was her original plan � it would not change because of anything.

Jovan�s gaze instantly dulled, and he scoffed, �Hmph! How are you going to do that? Do you want to use your blood to heal him again? You�re so weak that you can�t even stand, how much blood do you even have to give?�

�How� How do you know?� Surprise flashed in her eyes. She had never told him anything about the medicine.

�Your body is weak, and there are bloody wounds on both of your wrists. Other than my dear blind cousin, any sensible person would know.� Jovan grabbed her arms and looked at the wounds on her wrists, anger and grief overwhelming him. �Renee, are you out of your mind? He doesn�t even remember you, but you risk your life to save him. What do you want?�

�I just want peace of mind.� She looked down and said softly. If she and Stefan were not destined to be together, the least she could do was ensure his happiness for the rest of his life. Hence, she wanted to stay with him until he recovered. She also wanted to protect his business for him and find him a woman who truly loved him� JrNovels.com
