Sometimes he wondered if he had a male-specific illness� Why else would he never feel attracted to Seraphina despite loving her so deeply? In fact, he wasn�t attracted to other women either.

The only exception was Renee� He lost all control around her like some hormonal teenager, and always longed to be near her.

'No, it has to be a coincidence.� He shook his head and stopped his wild thoughts. People had feelings and desires, but most of them depended on the time, place, and environment.

Maybe it had been the environment that caused his attraction. Maybe it was because his body was recovering, or because the weather was hotter that he became more impulsive� In short, it was nothing but a coincidence. �Stefan, you don�t have to say sorry. It�s not your problem. Since you�re not ready, maybe we should try something to get you in the mood�� Seraphina continued eagerly. The defeat had made her braver instead.

Stefan looked up at her in confusion. �How?�

�I bought a special perfume. Women will get light-headed when they smell this and men will get more energetic. If both the man and woman smell this, nature will take its course, so� why don�t we give it a try?� Before he could answer, Seraphina took the bottle of perfume out and sprayed it several times in front of him. Stefan frowned and stopped her, saying coldly, �You shouldn�t do such dishonest things. It can harm others.�

�It�s not dishonest, I�m just doing this to strengthen our bond. If you don�t feel anything for me, it�s only normal for me to try some other methods so you do. It�s not wrong, right?�

�It�s not, but it�s not necessary either. Just go to bed.� Stefan stood up and put some distance between them, then said condescendingly, �I know you�re in a rush, but there�s no need to stoop this low. Good things take time, and only then do they last forever. Am I right?�

�It�s been so long. If we keep taking our time, things will go badly!� Seraphina punched the sofa helplessly, but there was nothing she could do.

The seller claimed that Enchanted was incredibly effective, but now it just seemed fake. Why else would they be unaffected even though she sprayed so much perfume on them?

They were not at all aroused or lovey-dovey.

�Forget it, I don�t want to force you. I�m going to bed.� Seraphina was exhausted both mentally and physically, so she decided to give up. Feeling disappointed, she returned to the bedroom to lie down.

Stefan was still in the living room. The lingering scent of the perfume made him uncomfortable. He glanced at his wristwatch and realised it was nearly midnight-the quietest moment of the day and the time he enjoyed the most. He could not be disturbed by anyone under the protection of the night�

He could let go of his worries and just be himself.

Finally, Stefan decided to go out for a walk for some fresh air and relaxation.

The hotel he chose had a nice environment and was designed in a typical Southeast Aeos style. The garden was filled with tropical plants like palm trees and cactus, and looked like a primaeval forest.

Stefan was wandering in the garden when he saw a familiar figure�it was none other than Renee.

�Ren�� He was about to call her name, but soon realised that she was sleepwalking. He then secretly followed her from a distance to observe her condition.

She stood before a large cactus and squatted down, then whispered to the cactus, �Little porcupine, don�t be scared. I like you very much and I won�t hurt you. Can I take a needle from you? Why do you have so many of them? Let me take all of them out for you, okay? One, two, three�� While talking, she plucked out the cactus needles.

Stefan fought back laughter at her serious expression. �This woman is hilarious! How could she mistake the cactus for a porcupine? She even wants to pluck out all of its needles. She�s so cute.�

Stefan did not dare to wake her up for her own safety. He even held his breath for fear of scaring her.

�Four, five, six�� Meanwhile, Renee had plucked a lot of cactus needles and placed them in her hand. She then said with satisfaction, �I now have porcupine needles to protect myself. There�s nothing to

fear!�

�Pfft!� Stefan failed to hold his laughter back, and quickly covered his mouth. Renee turned to him gloomily and pouted. �You�re a bad guy. You must want to steal my needles. I�ll stab you, villain!�
