Chapter: 1757
�Are you going to disobey me?� Jovan�s tone was calm but menacing.
�Okay, I� I�ll go make tea for you both.� Naturally, Eloise didn�t dare to disobey Jovan. She retreated obediently but shot Renee a desperate look before leaving.
Renee nodded slightly to reassure Eloise.
After Eloise left, Jovan and Renee were the only ones on the spacious balcony.
The sunlight was warm because they were on the rooftop of the manor, and the occasional breeze was somewhat soothing.
�What�s your name?� Jovan asked softly as he faced her.
The breeze toyed with Renee�s hair as she looked at him and replied, �Brisa Stone. My name is� Brisa Stone.� During her time as a special agent, she�d learned how to change her voice, so she altered her tone to sound like an innocent female student so Jovan wouldn�t find her out.
�Brisa Stone�� Jovan said slowly, then smiled.
�It�s a rather refreshing name. I�m sure you�re a bright person. Have you ever considered what you�ll face after you give your eyes to me?�
�Yes, of course.� Renee felt relaxed as she stared at the mountains in the distance.
They said the eyes were the windows of the soul, so would her soul be trapped forever when she lost hers?
�I�m a person who�s very curious about the world, and I want to see every part of it. If I lose my eyes, I�ll spend the rest of my life in darkness. It�s� it�s a horrible thought.�
Renee�s tone was melancholy.
�Why do you want to sell your most important organ then? You can earn money through other ways, you know. You don�t have to do something like this that will ruin your life." Jovan frowned, looking confused.
XxRenee smiled then said solemnly, �It�s because I think poverty is more horrible than having one�s soul trapped. The worst that could happen if I lose my sight is that I�d feel bored, but poverty can actually kill people!�
�How much do you need? I can give you the money, then you don�t have to sell your eyes to me,� Jovan said suddenly.
�Huh?� Renee�s smile froze on her face, and she was caught off guard by his offer.
�Are you surprised?� Jovan clasped his hands together and said honestly, �I know how it feels since I�m experiencing it. I know how devastating it is to lose your sight, so I don�t want anyone to suffer such agony unless they have no other option.�
Renee cleared her throat and said awkwardly, �I heard that you�re pretty aloof, so why would you rather stay in hell than have someone else suffer?�
�Don�t get me wrong; I just don�t want you to go down the wrong path since you�re so young.� JrNovels.com
