Renee nodded, �Understood.�

The woman�s calmness and composure made Stefan inexplicably angry. It felt like� he had just launched a strong punch that hit a bed of cotton.

There was no impact at all.

He could effortlessly control everything except for this woman in front of him.

Not before, not now. This frustrated him to no end!

�If you�re so unhappy with me, why didn�t you push me away? You�re clearly capable of doing that!�

Stefan asked coldly.

Renee shrugged and said indifferently, �You misunderstood, Mr. Hunt. I�m not unhappy with you. We used to be husband and wife after all. Now that we see each other again after a long time, a hug seems like an appropriate thing to do.�

�Well said!�

Stefan snorted, �I never knew you�re such a carefree person, Miss Everheart� Do you really think that you don�t need to be responsible for the troubles you caused anymore after hiding like a coward for four years?�

Renee knew Stefan would not let her off so easily, but she remained calm and asked, �Then what do you want me to do, Mr. Hunt?�

�Do you know that Briar lost her child because of your cruelty? She even had to have her womb removed. She�ll never get the chance to be a mother again!�

Pain crept into Stefan�s handsome face. His voice trembled slightly.

For the past four years, he had been mired in guilt.

He had always felt that it was his mistake that caused his brother to lose his only bloodline and ruined Briar�s life.

For four years, he put a seal on the topic and forbade anyone from bringing it up. Then, he desperately worked as hard as he could to numb and also to punish himself.

Now that Renee, the fuse of the entire tragedy, finally reappeared, he felt that it was time to undo the knot in his heart.

�I don�t care whether what you did back then was intentional or an accident, it�s a fact that the baby died at your hands. Briar suffered from severe depression because of that. She tried to commit suicide countless times in the last four years� You owe her an apology.�

�It�s that serious?�

Renee�s calm expression gradually turned grave. JrNovels.com
