�You�re going to be my ex-husband anyway, why would I have to restrict myself?� Renee sat down nonchalantly, making fun of herself. �Besides, I couldn�t make you stay even when I was on my best behavior. Why would I ever do something so pointless now?� �So you really did love me?� Stefan asked, his gaze focused entirely on Renee�s face.

�Cough! Cough!�

Renee, who was drinking a glass of lemon water when Stefan asked the question, started choking.

�Am I hallucinating? Isn�t this stone-hearted prince being too direct? This is too unlike him.�

�Don�t be a narcissist, who even told you that?�

Averting her gaze, Renee denied ever loving him.

�Everyone has been telling me that. They said you loved me very much,� replied Stefan with a grin that he was unconscious of having.

Plenty of women have confessed their love to him, some even tried to seduce him with their bodies. He would always be annoyed by them, let alone develop feelings for them.

On the other hand, he enjoyed being doused in this Renee�s love. For some reason, it gave him asense of achievement.

�Oh please, you know I was acting during that live stream. Those people are blissfully unaware of what was actually happening,� Renee answered nonchalantly.

She did not intend to reveal her true feelings. It was the only way she could protect her dignity and � living confidently.

Unfortunately, it seemed that Stefan was adamant about uncovering the truth as if he was playing detective.

�If you didn�t love me, what�s the point of all those secret gifts? If you didn�t love me, why were you looking at me with such loving eyes in every picture we took together?�

�And� if you didn�t love me, why would you express hostility towards Briar in the first place? Isn�t it obvious that you were jealous of her?�

His questions made Renee feel defenseless and humiliated as if someone had just ripped her wounds open.

�So?� Stefan asked again.

�What the hell is he doing? Why is he trying so hard to prove that I used to love him?�

�Is he trying to prove that he can hurt me however he wants? Does he want to see me cry and beg for him to come back to me? Just so he can fuel his ego?� Renee wondered.

She glared at Stefan coldly and spoke with a sarcastic tone, �You are the crudest and most conceitedman I have ever met, Stefan Hunt.�

�It doesn�t matter if I loved you in the past. I don�t love you now, and I never will.� JrNovels.com
