Chapter: 1457
Now it seemed the truth was just that simple. She simply tried to atone for her sins after she harmed him. She was just troubled by a guilty conscience.
�No, Renee, you can�t fool me that easily. Since you dared to offend me, you can�t leave just like that.�
Renee leaned against the window and looked at the street that was rich with the scent of spring. She fell into silence.
Jovan had long noticed her gloominess. As for the reason, it was indeed very obvious.
�If you can�t bear to part with him, we can postpone it and leave the hospital after a period. I�m fine with it.�
With his eyes closed, he cracked a faint smile and pretended to say casually. Renee turned to look at the calm man. She did not understand his meaning.
�What nonsense! I� What am I reluctant to part with?�
Even she felt guilty when she made that remark. She could rely on her reason to suppress how much she missed him, but she could never eliminate it. It was a feeling that had been ground into her bones.
She admitted that she did care about Stefan. Not even once did she manage to forget about him. If she did not see him, she could stop missing him.
But now that she met him, the dormant feelings were ignited and, before long, burned fervently in her heart.
�You don�t have to hide it. Of course, I�m aware of your thoughts. Well� I never truly yearn to gain your heart. To me, getting you is already a grand victory. So, you don�t have to lie to me. You can just be yourself,� Jovan said freely.
He was not stubborn. He was not so overbearing that he would shamelessly occupy her heart after he�d gotten the better of her.
�Okay, I gave up. I� I�m a bit reluctant to part with him. But don�t worry. It�s not a big problem. I can hold it back.�
Renee stopped hiding it and generously admitted to it. At the same time, she held Jovan�s hand. It gave him a great sense of security.
Jovan did not comment much on that before he said to the driver, �We should be near the antique shop on South Street soon. Stop there for a while. I want to get something.�
�What is it?�
�I told you, it�s a surprise for you. It�ll be meaningless if I tell you in advance.�
Jovan kept up his mysterious demeanor, keeping her in suspense.
The car stopped before an antique shop.
Renee wanted to push Jovan into the shop, but she was turned down.
�Wait for me in the car. The driver can push me into the shop.�
He did not want to expose the surprise he prepared for her in advance, or all his efforts would be futile.
�Okay, I would like to see what kind of trick you will pull.�
With deep curiosity, Renee watched the driver push Jovan into the antique shop.
She leaned against the back seat in slight boredom. When she checked the time, it was coincidentally afternoon at Beach City. The two children might have gone home from school by now, so she gave her brother a video call. JrNovels.com
