Chapter 817

Rosie was at a loss for words, and lowered her head quietly. ‘I think he’s right. Just a while ago, Miss Everheart did

say that they were now legally married again because he used some sort of trick! If they really are husband and

wife on paper, I have no right to interfere!’

“So can I take her home now?” Stefan raised an eyebrow.

“Mhm!” Rosie nodded profusely.

Stefan nodded back. He looked cold and elegant, but his heart was pounding in his chest. ‘Well now, it does feel

good to be legally married!’

He then brought Renee all the way to his limited edition Rolls-Royce, with Elijah opening the door to the backseat

already.

“Mr. Hunt, is the young miss alright?” Elijah asked in concern. Since this was the most dangerous and crime-infested

place in Beach City, he was worried that Renee had been in danger. He even had some of their men on standby,

heavily armed. If they received orders from Stefan, they would demolish the entire port in seconds.

“It’s fine, she’s just drunk. She also beat up a few grown men, and almost tore apart the entire bar,” Stefan said

casually, placing the woman gently into the car.

“Pfft!” Elijah was usually quite composed, but even he couldn’t help but burst into laughter. He sighed in

amusement and said, “Looks like the young miss is still as radiant as ever – she never disappoints.”

“Ow!” She whimpered pitifully.

“I’m so sorry!” Stefan’s face was filled with guilt, and his fingers caressed her head softly as he comforted her.

Stefan like a pillow, placing her head back onto his lap and wrapping her arms around his waist tightly.

Stefan’s body went as stiff as a board. He didn’t dare to move a muscle, worried that he might disturb the woman

on his lap.

“You… Do you really think I’m nice?” He asked her carefully.

“Mhm! Of course you are!” Renee curled up against him like a contended kitten, nodding gently. “You gave me the

warmth of a home, that’s why I was willing to marry you and become your wife.”

“You’re finally facing the truth… Actually, Everheart, I-” Just as Stefan was about to reveal his true feelings to her,

the woman interrupted him cheerfully.

“You’re not like my trashy ex-husband at all – he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing at best. You may think you’re ugly, but

you have a beautiful heart. I am incredibly lucky to be your wife!” Renee confessed with a shy smile.
