Soon, many people started to gather around them, muttering to each other as they watched the scene.

�You�re the one who killed my son and destroyed my chance at motherhood! I�m going to kill you! Die!�

Briar hissed, her nails digging into Renee�s skin. This made it very difficult for Renee to breath, and her face turned red as she winced in pain.

Suddenly, the hands around Renee�s neck disappeared, and she could breathe again.

Gasping for air, she turned to look at Briar, who was unconscious in Stefan�s arms.

�What just happened? She fainted on her own, alright, so don�t even try to put the blame on me!�

Renee gently rubbed her sore neck and took several steps back, observing the eerily still woman.

�Hey� Why isn�t she moving? She�s alive, right?�

�You seem eager to have her dead.� Stefan shot Renee a dirty glare, carrying Briar bridal-style and laying her down at a resting area nearby.

Renee had almost died because of Briar�s sudden outburst, and a panicked Stefan had no choice but to hit Briar on the back of the neck to knock her out for a while. Renee might not have survived otherwise.

Briar would probably be better after resting, so Stefan didn�t try to wake her up. Instead, he turned to Renee, who was still in the children�s section, and pointed at the clothes on the ground.

His eyes narrowed as he asked, �Why are you buying so many children�s clothes?�

Renee and the employee were busy putting the outfits on the ground back into her bags.

She scoffed dismissively, �Why do you care? Am I not allowed to buy cute things?�

Stefan squatted down and picked up one of the striped socks near him, observing it curiously. The sock was pink, soft, and no bigger than his hand. He couldn�t deny it was cute, and it softened his heart for some reason.

�So you bought these socks� because they�re cute?� Stefan asked dubiously as he handed them to Renee.

However, the woman didn�t want to play buddy-buddy with him, and shot him a disgusted look.

�I did think it was cute, yeah, but now you�ve dirtied it with your hands. I don�t want it anymore.�

�You!� Stefan was furious.

�What the hell? Didn�t she say she hoped we could still be friends?! She was acting so nonchalant before, but now she�s acting like I�m some kind of curse! What�s her problem?!� JrNovels.com
