But that was fine with her since she could rest easy now. She wondered what Stefan would do when he learned the truth about their children one day. Would he thank this best friend of his for keeping the secret?

She cleared her throat and said, �I wanted to keep my pregnancy with Liam Osborne�s child a secret all along because I�m planning to leave this place, with my baby and Liam in tow, and live elsewhere. After mall, I was Stefan Hunt�s wife for four years. If I start building a perfect family with a house full of children while he is still single and lonely, then it would really hurt his feelings, wouldn�t it?�

�Damn right it would!� yelled Xavier. He then Renee, �If you�re smart, you�d do well not to reveal your manur pregnancy before my friend finds a new woman! Otherwise, I�ll never leave you in peace!�

Renee stifled a smile and maintained a serious expression on her face as she nodded and assured Xavier, �Don�t worry, I won�t let anyone know about it. Boasting is not my habit anyway.�

She started to realize that although this idiot tended to have a potty mouth, he was actually quite an earnest guy and a loyal friend, which Renee found adorable. Still� Why was this guy following her around like a weirdo?

�Tell me the truth,� she began to ask bluntly. �Why did you follow me like that? If you don�t give me a reason, I�ll make sure to start a habit of boasting around your friend Stefan!

�Umm��

Xavier briefly touched his nose in awkwardness. He was not so insolent now, and he acted rather uneasily and awkwardly.

Humph! After all, he had a favor to ask, and he had to beg the woman he looked down the most. Of course, he felt like he had lost face.

�Are you free now? I�ll buy you coffee.�

Xavier hesitated for a long while before he asked her that.

Renee smiled and said, �Mr. Stuart, am I not your friend? Do you want to poison my coffee?�

She was well aware of Xavier�s attitude toward her. He never regarded her seriously, and he always found her an eyesore.

However, he offered a symbol of peace by taking the initiative to invite her for coffee. That was indeed strange.

Consequently, Xavier�s handsome face soon fell, and he said angrily, �Am I such a mean and vulgar man to you?�

Renee raised her brows and asked, �Aren�t you?�

�Why, you!�

Xavier was greatly infuriated, and he flew into a rage. He exclaimed violently, �I�m a righteous man. I�m not despicable enough to use such dirty tricks. I�ve long regarded you as an eyesore, and I hope you�ll leave Stefan. But at most, I just curse you quietly. I�ll never use such a mean trick as to drug you!�

He was very angry but tried his best to suppress his wrath and explain it to her seriously. Hence, Renee was rather amused.

She decided to stop teasing him and said generously, �Well, sure. I�ll force myself to give you a chance.� JrNovels.com
