Renee raised an eyebrow. �What kind of reward?�

�I� I want to hug you. Just a simple hug. Although you�re strong on your own, I want you to know that there�s someone you can rely on too,� Haze explained sincerely.

Also, he wanted to see if she would hit him when he got close to her like last time, or if things would be different now.

�Okay.� Renee nodded and spread her arms. "Come on then. Let me hug you.�

She felt that Haze did deserve a hug given what he did for her. She had been quite violent towards him in the past, so maybe she could make up for it through this hug.

�Umm�� Haze frowned when he saw her extend her arms wide as if she was about to hug her son.

�If you hug me like this, people may think that you�re going to provide for me instead� Can we change our posture?"

�Why? Isn�t this nice? I hold Adie this way too, and he loves it very much.� Haze was speechless.

�So, you�re going to hug me as if I�m your son?�

�Stop blabbering. Do you want a hug or-"

�Fine. I don�t care if you�re hugging your son or husband. I just want a hug,� Haze mumbled, then leaned into Renee�s embrace. From afar, it looked like a superior female boss was taking in a shy and weak young man.

�Be good. I�ll buy sweets for you if you�re good.� Renee suppressed her laughter and smoothed his head as she teased him.

Undeniably, it was better to be a powerful person. Once she was rich and free, maybe she would take in ten young men.

The atmosphere was good� until Stefan walked out of the elevator. His cold gaze landed on the two people hugging each other, and he unconsciously frowned.

�What are you guys doing?�

Renee awkwardly let go of Haze, and was shocked to see Stefan there.

"Why� are you here?�

�Why can�t I be here?� Stefan always sounded fierce and aloof.

"What�s wrong? Did I stop you from having an affair with another man?�

Stefan could never say nice things.

When Renee heard his words, she felt annoyed.

�Mr. Hunt, you�re from a noble family, so why would you say such vulgar things? I�m not having an affair.� Renee took a step towards him and sneered, full of ridicule.

�Even if I did, it has nothing to do with you. What right do you have to criticize me?�

�What right do I have?� Stefan said lightly,

�I�m your cousin-in- law, if you think about it. I saw my cousin-in-law hugging another man, so don�t I have the right to criticize you?" JrNovels.com
