�Just say yes. You can always kick me out if it doesn�t work out, right?� Stefan urged Renee.

Since Renee couldn�t find a reason to reject him, she said grumpily, �Whatever. I can�t see, so it doesn�t matter to me.�

�So, you said yes�� Stefan�s deep-set eyes brightened immediately. The first step had gone much more smoothly than he thought. Being persistent was quite effective when dealing with Renee.

Margaret�s voice came from the manor at that moment.

�Ms. Ren, whose luggage is at the door��

Margaret entered the front yard, looking confused when she saw Stefan.

"What are you doing here, Master Hunt? What are you trying to do to Ms. Ren?� Margaret immediately ran over to stand in front of Renee and glared at Stefan, saying firmly,

�You�re not welcome here. Please leave!�

Renee waved dismissively and said, �Just ignore him, Margaret. He�s free labor, so feel free to order him around.�

Stefan nodded humbly, still managing to look elegant as he said, �That�s right. Just let me do all the dirty and tedious chores.�

�Ah, urn�� Margaret was puzzled. She had only been gone for a few minutes, and so much had happened in between.

�Just let him stay since he�s brought his luggage here. Isn�t there a room for Barky in the backyard? Let him clean it up and stay there,� Renee instructed Margaret calmly.

�You don�t have to trouble yourself. Just give me a small room-l�m not fussy when it comes to living arrangements� � Stefan was moved by Renee�s care, and smiled as he asked,

�By the way, who�s Barky? Was he your former housekeeper?�

�Well� I guess you could say that since he was my guard dog,� Renee explained while smiling.

�You� you�re asking me to stay in the doghouse?� Stefan�s eyes widened and he gritted his teeth.

�I can�t do anything about it since I�ve only got one empty room here,� Renee said innocently. She wanted to see if Stefan would run away.

�No, it�s fine as long as I can lie down,� Stefan said immediately, then stood up and dragged his luggage along.� I�ll go and clean it up� I�m looking forward to it!� JrNovels.com
