From her point of view, helping a man shave was an extremely personal task, just as much as helping someone blow dry their hair. Only those in romantic relationships would do this for each other.

'He could�ve done it himself, but why did he ask me to help? Isn�t that just plain flirting?�

�Could it be that� he remembered something and� felt something again?�

�Because I wanted you to, that�s why,� Stefan replied nonchalantly, a smile appearing on his handsome face.

�Ugh� What utter nonsense!�

Renee took a deep breath and composed herself. She tried to sound rational, saying, �You heard about it earlier, right? I�m Jovan�s girlfriend, so don�t ask me for such favors anymore. I don�t want my boyfriend to misunderstand.�

�Really now?� Stefan smiled coldly. Although blind, he was rather sharp and managed to see through Renee�s heart. �Why are you lying?�

�I�m not lying. Jovan really is my boyfriend. Didn�t you hear how much he let me punch him just now? If we weren�t dating, he would�ve defended himself.� Renee pursed her lips and spouted the bunch of nonsense in a serious tone.

She actually didn�t intend to trick Stefan either, but she had no other choice; it was to prevent him from ever catching any feelings for her. Otherwise, her departure would only result in an absolute heartbreak.

She didn�t want him to feel any more miserable than he already did.

�Sure, if you say so,� Stefan responded sarcastically. His expression seemed conflicted.

Although he was blind, he wasn�t dumb. He could sense how much Renee rejected Jovan, and the two didn�t have any chemistry at all. There was simply no way that they were a couple.

�But I can tell that Jovan�s feelings towards you are true. You two could certainly try being together, to be honest.� The man said softly, expressionless.

�You want me to� try dating him?� Renee froze.

It was obvious that she never expected him to think this way. Not only was he not falling for her, but he was even pushing her to date someone else as well.

This made her realize she was merely overthinking, giving herself unnecessary worries.

�Whether you two were dating or not has nothing to do with me. I even wish that you two could be more loving with each other, lest he wouldn�t be so bored as to give me trouble all the time. I�d get some peace and quiet, too,� Stefan said, still rather emotionless.

He then changed into some freshly washed clothes. �Come on, get some sun with me.�

It had been quite some time since they had gone outside for some sunlight after all. Other than that, he couldn�t help feeling warm and positive on the inside with Renee by his side for some odd reason.

Renee soon brought Stefan to their favorite part of the back garden. JrNovels.com
