“Try it… if you’re not afraid of becoming impotent!” Renee gritted her teeth and prepared to strike him where he
was weak.
“Do you think I’m afraid of that?” Stefan, on the other hand, wasn’t scared of her threats at all. He was calm, his
eyes fixed on her crimson lips as he prepared to kiss her.
“Don’t!” She closed her eyes, and rejection was written all over her face.
The kiss she was expecting never came, and she slowly opened her eyes to find Stefan looking at her in disgust.
“Do you honestly believe I’m that perverted? You should know that I hate forcing others. You may leave now!” He
stood up abruptly after speaking and didn’t look at her again.

She stood up and fixed her hair. She gazed at his icy back and wanted to say something before leaving, but she
didn’t.
“Ren, have you finished passing him the gift?”
As she walked down the stairs, she noticed Timothy returning from the garden, held by Seraphina.
“What brings you here? You’ve already split up with Stef. Do you not understand the concept of a boundary?”
Seraphina watched Renee emerge from Stefan’s room and acted like a woman who had found her husband
cheating.
Renee didn’t back down; instead, she remained in the centre of the stairwell, staring down at the lady below. “Who
made the rule that an ex-wife can’t leave her ex-husband’s room? Shouldn’t you, as a single woman, keep your
distance from a divorced man?”
“You!” Seraphina was at a loss for words and grabbed Timothy’s arm, coquettishly saying, “Grandpa Hunt, look at
her! She is completely lacking in manners. Are these appropriate things for a divorced lady to say? I feel like she
still wants to depend on Stef!”
Timothy grinned and shook his head, remaining impartial and refusing to take sides. “I’m not sure about that, but
it’s clear that Stefan is still reliant on Ren. I am the most familiar with his personality!”
“Impossible!” Seraphina gritted her teeth and muttered angrily, “Stef is quite proud, so how can he rely on her?
They would not have divorced if he still had affection for her. She must be the shameless one who can’t stop
harassing Stef!”
“Oh, it seems like you don’t know your ‘bro’ well enough, hmm?” Renee smirked, trying to anger Seraphina even

“Your closest buddy may seem arrogant on the surface, but he’s a lover and a simp at heart. He almost always
begs me not to abandon him and to give him another chance! It seems like just yesterday when he proclaimed his
love to me in front of many coworkers. He stated he couldn’t forget me and wanted to rekindle our relationship, but
I turned him down!”
Seraphina was so enraged that she strode over to Renee angrily. “Be quiet. You can say anything you want, but you
can’t frame him like that. He’s my best friend.”
She abruptly stopped speaking and turned to look behind Renee. “Stef! Did you hear what she had to say about
you?”
He was a few steps away from Renee. “She’s speaking the truth,” he remarked quietly, his back straight and his
hands inside his pockets.
