“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.
She 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…”
“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.”
