Renee secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

She was still stressing about how to explain herself, but fortunately, Xavier had already thought of an excuse for her.

�I�ll give abortion some serious thoughts, so� you have to help me keep the pregnancy a secret, for the sake of our close friendship. Otherwise, it�ll be hard for me to remarry anyone!�

Renee took the opportunity to remind Xavier again.

�You can�t let Stefan know that I�m pregnant! �

�Don�t worry, I don�t have a big mouth.�

Xavier was quiet after saying that. Certain emotions seemed to be surging deep inside him.

He took a deep breath and waited for a long time before pretending to probe casually, �So, from what you said, it sounds like you�re completely over Stefan now, while you and Liam were just a spur of the moment thing. Does that mean there�s no special someone in your heart currently?�

Renee�s heart raised her eyebrows and said somewhat casually, � You can say that.�

�Since you�ve vacated your heart, does that mean� you might fall in love with another man in the future?�

�If I do meet the right person, I�d like to experience a magnificent love.�

Although she had been severely hurt by love, Renee�s heart did not falter. She still believed in love and looked forward to love�

�Then, I��

Xavier was about to say something.

But Renee suddenly frowned and said with an alert expression, � Xavier, do you smell something strange?�

Xavier took a deep breath and said casually, �Nope. I only smell tea."

�No!�

Renee�s senses had always been sharp. She frowned and said, �I think I smell smoke, and it�s really strong!�

�Smoke?�

Xavier inhaled again, and this time, he could indeed detect the smell of smoke, but he did not think much of it. He waved away her concern and said, �Who cares? Maybe your neighbor having a barbecue party.� JrNovels.com
