“Okay then!” Renee nodded and brought the Rainbow Glaze, along with a big basket of fresh cherry tomatoes, into
the manor.
Stefan’s bedroom was on the second floor, and it was normally off limits. After placing the basket of cherry
tomatoes on the coffee table, Renee headed upstairs, towards the man’s room. At first, she was going to place the
item by his doorstep, but figured that it would be unsafe to leave such a precious relic outside.
After a few minutes of pondering, she decided that it was best to just place it inside his room.
With that, she tried to turn the doorknob, but didn’t expect the shut door to swing open so swiftly. She looked up in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtconfusion, and to her horror, saw Stefan standing at the door with damp hair and an exposed torso. He merely had
a pair of gray sweatpants on, making him seem casual, chic, and sexy at the same time. It really showed just how
charming he was.
Renee’s face instantly turned red. She turned around and stumbled over her words. “I… I’m sorry, I didn’t know you
were home! I swear, I didn’t see anything!”
The man had just finished taking a shower, and was drying his hair with a clean towel. When he saw Renee at the
door, his handsome face was expressionless, and his hostility was enough to give someone frostbite.
“What are you doing here?” The man asked in an unfriendly tone. It was clear that he was still holding a grudge
against Renee, and was unhappy to see her.
As the high and mighty Stefan Hunt, he couldn’t help but feel petty over the cold rejection he received, especially
when he had set his pride aside. He was so choked up with anger that he wished he could send this woman to outer
space, so that he wouldn’t have to see her ever again.
“Don’t misunderstand my intentions, I’m just here to return the Rainbow Glaze. Since you’re here, I’ll be placing it in
your good hands. You won’t have to regret your decision of giving it away then.” Renee was still facing away from
the man, her back straightened and her voice just as tough as usual. She didn’t want him to know that she gave the
relic back to him out of worry for his life.
Stefan seemed dismissive, crossing his arms over his chest. “Hand it over.”
Hearing this, Renee quickly passed it to him, but she still had no idea how to face him. Hence, she had been facing

However, another awkward scenario arose…
Stefan groaned, refusing to take the box. Instead, he clenched his jaw and asked, “Where do you think you’re
reaching for, Everheart?”
“Huh?” Renee was stupefied and turned around, only to realize that the box was right on top of his private area.
Her strength had likely made things quite painful.
“S-Sorry! I’m so sorry!” Renee quickly moved the box away and stared at his crotch, nearly taking matters into her
own hands out of anxiety. “Are you okay? Does it hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital to get it checked? I… I’ll
call for help!”
She then took her phone out, intending to call an ambulance.
