“What? You really told her that you want to reconcile?” Seraphina’s expression immediately darkened.
Stefan’s confirmation stung the most. “Yes.”
“However, it’s in the past,” he said honestly. “I’m not that dumb anymore.”
He then strolled down the steps with no emotion on his face. He didn’t even glance her way as he went by.
Renee remained locked in place, her cheeks flushed.
She hadn’t expected Stefan to hear her pompous statements earlier – she just wanted to annoy Seraphina. She
herself thought it was immature to flaunt the attention she got from a guy in order to feel good about herself.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe realized she had grown into the kind of person she despised.
Seraphina was overjoyed, and she grinned widely. She embraced Stefan as if they were the closest of friends, and
stood really close to him. “That sounds more like it. If you turn into a simp, I’ll be the first to judge you. You are
Stefan Hunt, the most wealthy guy in Beach City. Do you realize how important that title is to you?”
Stefan didn’t say anything, and his face revealed no feelings.
“All right, let’s not waste time. Can you tell me why I’m here?” Seraphina inquired mysteriously.
“I think I can figure it out.” He sat peacefully on the sofa in the living room and responded.
“You’re really clever! It’s no surprise you’re my best buddy.”
“Well, what’s your answer?” Her grip on him became harder. “Should we get married and become husband and
wife to explain ourselves to our family?”
Timothy scowled as soon as he heard this. “Aren’t you a touch impatient, Seraphina? Why do I get the impression
that you’re more impatient than I am? Your grandpa just suggested this proposal to you last week, and now you
want to discuss it with Stef?”
“Grandpa, marriage should be done on impulse,” Seraphina said. “If you take everything into account, you will
never get married. If Stef and I are destined to marry, it makes no difference when we do it. The elders won’t have
to worry about anything if we get it done sooner.”
Timothy groaned and nodded his head. “You’re correct, but marriage is a serious thing. You must not do it hastily,
or else…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I don’t agree with you. You forced Stef to marry Miss Renee back then, and they got married in three days. I
waited a week though, but you’re accusing me of rushing into things? You’re being prejudiced, Grandpa Hunt. Do
you dislike me?”
“Your circumstances are different. Ren needed the Hunt family’s protection at the time. Moreover, she loved Stef,
and they were meant to be together. That is why-” Timothy was reminiscing about the first time Renee and Stefan
met, but Stefan quickly cut him off.
“You don’t have to bring up the past, Grandfather. That was a failed attempt.”
Renee found it difficult to swallow when she heard this, and it sounded mocking coming from Stefan.
“So, in my ex-husband’s opinion, our four years of marriage was a ‘failure’?” Renee moved down the stairs
carefully, her attention fixed on Stefan as she said, “I’m interested in your marriage to Seraphina.”
