He was tall, so he had a long shadow, and the shadow soon overlapped with Renee�s, as if they were hugging each other.

There was an ambiguous feeling in the air.

Renee noticed Stefan following her. At first, she tried to ignore him, but she had already walked for nearly a kilometer and

Stefan was still following her. It made her mad for some reason. She suddenly stopped and turned around.

�Are you a sex offender? Why are you following me? What do you want?�

Stefan and Renee were walking very close together. When she suddenly stopped and turned around, they almost ran into each other.

But it was precisely this tiny, awkward gap between them that made both of them feel a bit unnatural.

Stefan cleared his throat and tried to put on his usual cold and aloof face. He smirked and said. �Why are you wandering. around alone in the middle of the night? You�re making yourself the perfect victim for a sex offender.�

His words made Renee really angry.

�What kind of stupid logic is that? Are you saying that it�s the victim�s fault? Why have I never noticed before what a terribly crooked moral view you have?�

Renee retorted sharply. �But, honestly, it�s no surprise. Can�t expect someone who lets himself get mixed up with a wicked woman like Briar Desrosiers to have a good moral view. I must have been blind to actually marry a man like you!�

Stefan was not angry. Instead, his thin lips curled into a meaningful smile.

That was because he could clearly hear a strong feeling of jealousy in Renee�s words. It made him feel good.

�I�ve always wondered, why do you always get emotional when you talk about Briar?�

�Duh. Of course it�s because I hate her!�

�Is that so?�

Stefan raised his eyebrows slightly as he continued to ask, �Do you actually hate her or do you hate her for ruining ourmarriage?�

�You� What the hell are you trying to say?�

Renee involuntarily took a step back. Stefan felt strange tonight, as if he was possessed.

�If I say that my feelings for Briar are not what you think they are, and I�m protecting her for some other reasons, would you let her off the hook?� JrNovels.com
