The man froze up and turned to look at her, his face filled with sheer confusion.

Renee winked at the man, whispering under her breath. "No need to thank me, I�m just repaying you for.the dessert! Don�t worry! I have your back! You won�t look like a loser with me around today!�

Hearing this made Stefan frown even deeper. �What� does she even mean?�

Renee could tell that he was stupefied, and this got on her tiptoes, whispering into his ear. �I know you�re still in love with Smith, and it�s hard to watch her get married to another man.� "You were frowning so much, you know? I can�t believe they even made you congratulate their marriage! How inconsiderate��

Realization finally dawned upon Stefan, and he found himself not knowing how to react.

�How did this woman draw the conclusion that I�m sad?�

�I did look gloomy just now, but it wasn�t because of Cecilia.�

Instead, he was simply reminiscing about his marriage with Renee. He realized that the entire event was too rushed and dismissive. There wasn�t a single thing that could be considered a good memory.

Regretting his lack of attention then, he even went as far as to plan a whole new wedding in his head, hoping that he could get back together with the woman someday�

However, he obviously wouldn�t tell her the truth. On the contrary, he took the chance to mess with Renee. Putting up a perplexed face, he said,� "Yeah, I�m so upset that my heart hurts, and I�m so angry at the fact that they would do this to me! What do I do?�

This made Renee sympathize with the man even more, patting him on the head as comfort. �Don�t be sad, cheer up� In my opinion, the best revenge is to live a better life than them, and to experience a sweeter love than them!�

"But I don�t have that�� Stefan pouted. "My relationship was a complete failure. Everyone knows we�re divorced, and that you�ve been fooling around with that Osborne kid! I�m so embarrassed, it�s like I came here to be a laughing stock!�

"Don�t worry. I promised I�d help you out today! As my ex-husband, your image affects mine too. I can�t have you looked like a loser��

Cecilia was watching the whole time as the two whispered into each other�s ears. Although she was.smiling sweetly while playing bonus games with Christopher, her heart felt bitter.

�Didn�t they get a divorce? I heard it ended quite badly too! Why are they still so intimate with each.other? How could they hold hands at a time like this!� She thought, yet was unable to express her.frustrations.

"Stef, don�t just stand so far away! You know how much we longed for your blessings�� Cecilia called out to the man. �It�s almost time for the group photo. I hope the three of us can take a picture together.�

Everyone looked rather uncomfortable when they saw the bride being so reckless, as if she just couldn�t read the room.

�Of course she�d have a chokehold on her ex and her fiance! They�ve been pampering her throughout their entire friendship, after all!�

Stefan raised a brow, not showing much emotion as he responded. �Sure.�

Just then, Renee raised her hand and exclaimed. "I�d like to join in too! I�m quite close with Stef, after all! How could I miss out on such a happy moment?� JrNovels.com
