He did not know what to reply, so he simply did not reply to anything.

Meanwhile, Renee�s bitter words poured out of her continuously like flood water.

�How annoying is this fool, you ask? He pretends to be as emotionless as an ice cube, but he�s actually a lame guy with extremely poor taste. He knows that the other woman is rotten to the core, but he still indulges her unconditionally. Don�t you think he�s blind? I�m really ashamed of the fact that I once liked a person like that��

Stefan: ���

He�s now even more suspicious that she knew it was him and she�s mocking him!

Stefan was about to reply when Renee sent another message.

�But it�s strange. Obviously, I don�t like him anymore, but why do I still feel sad? Does love have a residual effect?�

Stefan stared at the chat for a long time.

A trace of pain inexplicably emerged from the depth of his heart.

Perhaps he was indeed too cruel in the way he handled the matter with Briar, but he had no choice.

Briar was the woman the elder brother he respected the most asked him to take care of before his brother�s death. The child in Briar�s belly was the only offspring his brother left behind.

His brother sacrificed his life to save him.

He must keep his promise and take care of Briar and her child no matter what.

If he had to choose a person to disappoint, that person could only be Renee or, more precisely, it could only be himself!

Stefan felt like he had a lot to say to Renee, but in the end, he did not say a word.

He looked out the French window at the full moon that shined like jade, took a picture of it, sent it to Renee, then put away his phone.

When Renee saw the picture of the moon, it warmed her heart for some reason, even though there was no word attached to the picture.

�The moon is beautiful, isn�t it? I hope he sees it too.�

After sending that message, she put away her phone too. Her sense of loneliness had subsided a bit. She closed her eyes and easily fell asleep.

�The moon is beautiful, isn�t it?� is a famous phrase by Japanese author S?seki Natsume, usually used to express �I love you� indirectly! JrNovels.com
