Chapter 1243
Haze closed his eyes and tried to kiss Renee. For the first time, Renee did not
punch him, but tried to accept it.
Human beings needed roughly seven years to have a full cell metabolism, so
maybe a person could transform into someone else in seven years.
Renee knew that she had loved Stefan wholeheartedly for more than ten years.
Even her cells had completed their metabolism, so by right, she should also get
a new lover.
After all, a vague love affair would probably just fade with time.
Their lips gently came into contact, but before they could deepen the kiss, a
cold breeze hit them.
“No, I can’t!” Renee suddenly gasped, and pushed Haze away. She looked like
she had woken up from a dream, and said remorsefully, “I must be out of my
mind!”
Haze frowned and held her shoulders, asking gently, “What’s wrong? What’s
troubling you?’
“Nothing’s wrong, it’s just…” Renee shook her head and muttered, “Men and
women should get together because they love each other, not because they
have the same interests. Of course I can’t just casually date someone just
because my love affair failed. It’s unfair to you.’
“No, that’s not it,” Haze insisted.
“It is, since we have no love for each other. We just laid out the reasons that
we’re suitable for each other, but we didn’t mention love. Shouldn’t that be the
foundation for us to be together? Without it, it’s useless even if we have
compatibility,” Renee tried to explain to Haze.
Haze was practically tailor-made for her, but she felt nothing for him.
Even dogs could find the stinky old toy they yearned for among a bunch of fancy
new toys. Maybe Stefan was like the old toy she couldn’t forget about. People
might feel disgusted by it and tell her to pick something else, but she couldn’t
change her old habits.
If that was the case, then she deserved to suffer!
After Haze listened to her explanation, he was silent for a long time before he
whispered,
“That’s what you think. You haven’t chosen to be with me yet, so you’ll never
know whether love can bloom between us. There’s love at first sight as well as
the love that grows with time. Maybe we’ll find that we can love each other after
spending more time with each other. We’ll be the kind of soulmates who are
very in tune with each other.”
“No, that’s impossible. If that was the case, we would have fallen in love much
earlier.” Renee waved her hand dismissively and said firmly, “We can only be
friends and teammates. We’re indeed in tune with each other, but it’ll be
impossible for love to grow between us.”
“What if I’m kind and good enough to make you fall in love with me?”
“Kind?” Renee chuckled and looked at him in amusement. “It takes seven years
for a full metabolism. How long can your passion last? Don’t bite off more than
you can chew.”
“You don’t have to worry about it. My passion can last for a very long time. After
all, didn’t I soldier through after so many years? Probably, the reason that I
failed to make you warm up to me is…” Haze smirked and suddenly gave her a
peck on the lips. “Maybe I’m not hot enough.”
He quickly pulled away but said confidently, “Don’t worry, we’ll fall in love with
each other sooner or later… After all, I managed to win over my future brotherin-law. As for you, you’ll soon be mine!”
After that night, Carmine Pawnshop began its cooperation with the Baldwin
family. However, it had suffered a gigantic loss previously because of the
shipwreck, so they could not transport the treasures back on time.
