“I’m glad to hear that.”
From behind his unique mask, Mr. Q looked at Renee with complicated eyes. He said meaningfully, “Remember, you
made this choice yourself, so you can’t regret it no matter what, okay?”
“No regrets.”
Renee nodded again to assure him. She left herself no way back and bet everything she had on this decision so that
she could have a fresh start.
Regardless of whether the ending would be a happy one or a terrible one, she would have no regrets!
“You’re aware of my situation, I presume? I’ve sworn to never take off the mask, so the way we obtain the
certificate will be a little different.”
“How so?”

“But…”
Renee was a bit dumbfounded. “Are you really gonna wear this mask forever? Even after we get married? Even
when… even when we sleep together?”
“My face is disfigured. It’s a humiliation for me. I won’t let anyone see it. If you mind, we can end the relationship
right now.”
Mr. Q was adamant. There was no room for negotiation.
Renee knew how important the mask was to him. He would not let anyone touch it. Therefore, she was not that
insistent. She said casually, “It’s fine if you don’t want to take it off. I’m not marrying you for your face anyway.”
If it was a handsome face she was after, she would have married Stefan. He was probably the most handsome man
in the entire Beach City.
“How surprising. You’re that tolerant of your man’s behavior?”
Mr. Q responded to Renee’s open-mindedness with a weird question.
The atmosphere in the car became a bit strange.
Mr. Q moved closer. His thin lips curled into a strange smile as he asked, “Are you sure you’re willing to sleep with
me, a man whose face is ruined?”
“I…”
Renee was a bit embarrassed and a bit uncomfortable. She kept moving back, clearly resisting Mr. Q’s approach.
In fact, she did not like it when any man got close to her. Like a hedgehog, she had a natural defense against men,
even if the man was the “husband” she was about to marry.
This may have to do with the way she was brought up. Her grandfather’s training meant that the wall she put up
around herself would always be thicker than what ordinary people had. It was difficult for a man to breach.

Damn it, why was she thinking of that guy again?!
Today was the day she would get married again. Why was she thinking of her scumbag ex-husband? Something
must be wrong with her brain!
“See? You resist me so much, but you still want to marry me. You’re such a contradictory woman.”
Mr. Q stopped teasing her and returned to his original position, maintaining a “safe” distance between them.
Renee heaved a sigh of relief. She disguised her embarrassment by tidying up her clothes and hair. She explained,
“I’m a shy person. You need to give me some time to get to know you better. Once I get to know you, I won’t resist
you anymore.”
“Shy?”
Mr. Q sneered and said, “But I heard you fell in love with my sworn enemy, your ex-husband, at first sight.”
“Nonsense. Who told you that?”
Renee denied it without any confidence.
“Forget it. I won’t tease you anymore. Since you’ve made up your mind, please give me your documents so that we
can go through the marriage registration process without showing up.”
