She subconsciously felt intimidated and gulped. She waved her hand and said, �Um, I was just kidding. There is no need to be so serious, right?�

She was reminded of the thing she had to do. So, she did not want to waste her time with him anymore and prepared to leave.

But he took one step ahead of her and went in.

She was shocked. �Stefan, what are you doing? This is my house. Please get out!�

�You have said that I have a crush on you, so I would naturally not miss such a good opportunity to spend time with you,� said Stefan reasonably. �I told you it was just a joke!�

She was so annoyed. She knew that she should not have provoked him. This man was like a beehive. She could not get rid of him after just a slight touch. She was indeed hoisted by her own petard.

�I know better than anyone that all men in the world might have a crush on me, but it will never be you, Stefan. I still have this bit of self-knowledge, you know.� She clenched her fist and smiled self�deprecatingly.

Stefan said nothing. He strode to the huge floor�to�ceiling windows and looked out at the blue open sea.

This scene was only visible to their two penthouses in the whole neighborhood.

It was such a coincidence. It felt like there was an invisible thread tying him and Renee together.

They might have looked at the same sea for many nights without knowing each other�s thoughts�

�Why did you want to move out?� After a long time, Stefan turned around and asked in a low voice.

Renee was busy opening all the drawers in the living room to look for the quilt when Stefan threw the question at her, and she froze.

�Because I feel like it!� She replied perfunctorily and added a self�deprecating remark. �The main reason is that I know you don�t like me. If we live next to each other, we will keep bumping into each other. So, I decided to move out to keep out of your sight and not affect your mood.�

He harrumphed. �You are just playing the wise guy when you don�t know anything!�

�Maybe I am. You are always busy and have little time to spend with Miss Desrosiers, so you must want to stay in Hunt Villa. Why will you come here? I�ve indeed done something unnecessary.�

Stefan was standing in the sunlight. His stony face turned slightly cheeky. He gazed at Renee�s face for a long time and said. smiling. �You are jealous.�

She flushed and denied it immediately. �Don�t flatter yourself. I don�t like you. Why would I be jealous?�

�You are,� said Stefan confidently. When he repeated it, it was a statement, not speculation.

With so many women admiring him, how could he not know if someone had feelings for him? JrNovels.com
