Chapter 179
‘Here for a reason?! When Stefan heard those words, he remembered his unpleasant exchange with Renee and got angrier.
“What business do you have? Don’t blabber, or I’ll ban you.”
After that. Stefan continued to bury himself in work. He had a cold aura around him, as though he was an iceberg completely. isolated from the world.
‘Gee. Stefan’s really pissed!” Xavier thought and gulped. He finally realized Rachel’s good intentions in telling him to come back another day.
As Xavier turned to Rachel, trying to ask for help, Rachel obligingly smiled at him and left. “Mr. Stuarts, please feel free and talk to Mr. Hunt. I’m going back to work.”
And then… She just left like that!
“Damn! Rachel, seriously?!”
Xavier watched Rachel as she casually locked the door and left the room. He suddenly felt a sense of despair, like he’d been strategically fed to the beast.
‘Nevermind,’ he thought. ‘I’m here already. Might as carry on.”
After all, who else would suffer here if not him?
“Ahem!”
Xavier took a long time before he finally mustered the courage to talk to Stefan, whose face had been cold the whole time.” Stefan, it’s just you and me here. If you really feel bad, just cry it out. Numbing yourself with work won’t solve the problem. It’s okay. Just cry. It’s not embarrassing for men to cry!”
Confused, Stefan looked up at Xavier, who looked like an idiot. He pursed his lips and said nothing.
“We’re brothers. Relax. We’ve seen the video where you knelt to beg your ex–wife to stay. I never thought you’d love her so much. Well, she’s not really my type, but I’ll accept it since you like her.”
Xavier recalled the few times he had met Renee in person. He could not help but shake his head in disbelief.
He failed to understand how Stefan could fall for a girl like Renee and love her so much. His taste in women was so different.
“Stefan, you need to do something. You may not have much experience in love, but you should’ve been able to deal with a girl like Renee. Why does she have more control over you? That won’t do…”
Xavier patted his chest and encouraged. “You’re better than me in business, but I’m better than you in love. It looks like it’s time. to teach you some tips on courting women. We have to win this!”
Stefan was arrogant and cold, “I was drunk and spouting nonsense in the video. The video is irrelevant, also. She’s my ex- wife. She’s not your type, but does it matter? Don’t get yourself involved.”
“Wait, hey! Stefan, what’s with that tone? Are you showing your possessiveness over her?”
Xavier showed a meaningful smile and urged, “Stop wasting time. Just man up and be straightforward. Do you have feelings for her? Do you want to get her back? If so, I have plenty of ways to help you get her back!”
“I can’t be interested in her!” Stefan smiled coldly, his handsome face marred with disdain.
Renee was not his type at all. Stefan would have done something during their four years of marriage if he had any interest in her. Instead, they were married but did not do anything normal couple would do.
Stefan was sure that he had no feelings for Renee. However, deep down, he could not avoid reacting to Renee’s every move…
Stefan thought about it and concluded that his feelings stemmed from his unwillingness to lose.
He was unwilling to lose dominion over the woman who once loved him deeply. How could she stop loving him? Therefore, he had to find a way to make Renee fall in love with him again.
It wasn’t unlike the feeling of a beast that wanted to conquer its prey!
Stefan’s anger subsided as soon as he figured out his feelings for Renee. He became more open and calmer. “I don’t like her.
but she must love me, so…”
Stefan turned to Xavier with a cold and proud look. He asked arrogantly. “Do you really have a way to get her to change her
mind and be deeply in love with me again?”
“Ahem!” Xavier was surprised at Stefan’s sudden change in attitude. He hurriedly said, “Of course. I’ve been in so many relationships. If you’re willing to learn, I guarantee Renee to be in love with you again within a month!”
Stefan gave him a nod. “Teach me!”
As soon as Stefan agreed, Xavier tried to negotiate a deal. “I can teach you, but you must promise me one thing after the job is
done.”
“Sure.” Stefan agreed without hesitation, which surprised Xavier.
Xavier could tell Stefan was serious about learning the tricks to court women and thought, ‘Oh, dear. Stefan must’ve seriously
fallen in love—”
