She got up and opened the bag she carried with her and took out the antipyretic she always had with her. Then, she poured a glass of warm water and returned to the living room.

In the meantime, Stefan had torn off his tie and unbuttoned his shirt, exposing his toned body.

�What� What are you doing?� Renee took a deep breath and looked away, trying not to let her thoughts run wild.

She knew he wasn�t well, but the enticing picture he painted was now burned in her mind.

She carefully went to him with her head turned away as she handed him the antipyretic and warm water.

�Here� This medicine is very effective.

Take it first so you can bring down your fever.�

�No, it�s fine�� Stefan put away the glass of water and medicine and got up unsteadily.

His dilated pupils locked on her as he pulled her into his arms and growled, �I�d rather have you instead.�

The next morning, Renee got up in bed.

She pushed aside the blanket and found that she was wearing pyjamas. She looked around the room in confusion, but it was empty.

�That�s weird� Did something happen last night? Did I sleepwalk again?� Eventually, images flooded her mind, but to her confusion, they were mostly of her and Stefan.

The scenes were so passionate that she had no idea if they were real or just her imagination. After all, when she sleepwalked, she could not differentiate between reality and fantasy.

�Ah, forget it. Even if we did sleep together, it wouldn�t be the first time!� She couldn�t get an answer even after thinking about it, so she just decided to regard it as a colourful dream.

It was rather late, so Renee quickly washed up and went out for breakfast. After that, she shamelessly went to Stefan and Seraphina�s room and rang the bell endlessly.

�If Stefan still refuses to tell me about my brother�s affairs with Joanne, there�s going to be trouble.�

However, there was no response despite her ringing the bell for a long time.

�That�s weird. It�s almost ten o�clock, so they should be awake by now. Were they up all night doing�� She let her imagination run wild, and wondered if they had died from

exertion in the bedroom.

A female cleaner soon approached, and Renee turned to her politely.

� Madam, hello. Are you going to clean up this room?�

�Yeah, the guests checked out very early, so I need to clean it up,� the cleaner replied and opened the door with a keycard.

�What?! They checked out?!� Renee gasped in disbelief, and rushed into the room while the cleaner was distracted.

To her shock, it was empty. Stefan had fooled her again.

�Damn it, that blasted man!� She was furious. JrNovels.com
