Renee, on the other hand, was grinding coffee in the kitchen. She was focused, as much as how she used to make coffee for Stefan.

Despite having been so long ago, she still blamed herself for everything that happened and was consumed by regret every single day.

She knew that it was simply selfish to have Jovan risk his life to save Stefan. Since she had ruined the man�s life, she was willing to do anything for him, and even that wasn�t enough as atonement.

At the time, international news happened to be playing on the television in their living room.

�According to reports, the current CEO of H Group, Stefan Hunt, will be taking his fiance, Seraphina Murphy, on a three-month-long honeymoon. Their first stop will be Banrea, a beautiful town in West Varangia known for its fairytale-like landscape��

With a loud crash, the coffee mug shattered upon falling to the ground.

Renee�s heart thumped in her ribcage as if she had been injected with adrenaline. Before this, she had been rather depressed and couldn�t feel much. It had been quite a long time since she felt her heart pound as hard as it just did.

�Darling, are you okay?� Jovan asked nervously as soon as he heard the commotion from the front yard.

He wanted to get up, but as a crippled person, he wasn�t able to walk properly, nor could he see what had happened. He couldn�t do anything at all.

�I�m fine! The mug just slipped out of my hands!� Renee then took a deep breath to calm herself as much as possible.

After making a new cup of coffee, she switched the television off, expressionless. She didn�t even spare the dashing man on the television a single glance.

Half a year ago, when she decided to leave with Jovan, she knew that they were destined to part ways forever.

Coincidentally, he was madly in love with Seraphina.

Coincidentally� He had long forgotten about her too.

�Sorry for making you wait. How does this taste?� Renee handed Jovan the freshly made coffee.

�I don�t have to even taste it to even know it�s my favorite!� Jovan took the mug and took a sip.

�Super sweet!�

�You�re like a child.� Renee couldn�t help but make fun of him.

The cousins had very different tastes. Stefan loved pure bitter lattes, and yet Jovan loved caramel macchiatos with extra milk and sugar.

Under the sunlight, Renee and Jovan continued sitting in the garden quietly, enjoying the rare silence between them. JrNovels.com
