Female Novel
Chapter 1007
The woman in his arms shifted around uncomfortably, carefully speaking up. “M… Mr. Hunt, you’vemisunderstood. I’m not Miss Everheart.”
Stefan froze. His expression darkened. “Who are you?”
“I… I’m your personal caretaker, Layla Bridges. The madam sent me.” Layla had quite an innocent-looking face. Even the way she spoke sounded like she could do no harm.
Stefan’s expression was frosty, rudely pushing the woman away without hesitation. He then questionedher, clearly upset. “How long have you been here?”
“For quite… a while.”
“So you were the one who enjoyed the night breeze, gave me my coffee and listened to me this wholetime?”
“Y… Yes.” Layla hid the fact that Renee had come by just to win Stefan’s heart. Instead, she insertedherself into the narrative.
“The madam said you were in a bad mood and you need some quiet company. So I didn’t talk theentire time and just listened to you. I didn’t think you would mistake me as Miss Everheart. I’m reallysorry.”
“I don’t blame you.” Stefan’s expression was blank as he mocked himself. “I was being too naive, Iunderestimated how cruel a person could be.”
“Mr. Hunt, I can tell you have yet to move on from Miss Everheart. If you trust me, I could try contactingher for you.” Layla mustered up the courage, pretending to be kind and understanding.
The man was blind, but his facial features were still perfect, and his natural elegance was more thanenough to make anyone swoon. If she had been able to win him over because of this, she would haveundoubtedly won the lottery of life.
“No need.” Stefan’s expression turned dreary once more, responding in a dismissive tone. “I have toaccept that we are over, and I have to thank her for being so cold. Only then would I be able to moveon completely.”novelbin
“Then… Would you consider getting into a new relationship, Mr. Hunt?” Layla took a deep breath andclung to the man’s arm. “I’m an orphan, and the famous doctor, Karter Bridges, raised me since I was ababy. That’s how I managed to learn so much about medicine.”
“If you don’t mind, I’m willing to stay by your side and take care of you forever, even if I have to take avow of chastity. And I’ll further my studies so that I can heal your eyes as soon as possible.”
“Get lost!” Stefan scowled, pushing the woman away harshly again. He was enraged. “Are you pityingme? I can’t believe that I, Stefan Hunt, am being pitied by a mere servant! How depressing!”
“No, Mr. Hunt, that’s not it. I… I’ve admired you for the longest time, but I know I come from a humblebackground, and I have no right to get close to you. I even had to go through many challenges just tobe hired as your caretaker…”
“Your mother had specifically mentioned that becoming your personal caretaker means that I have tofirst take a vow of chastity. And once I get the job, I’ll have to continue caring for you for the rest of mylife. I’m more than willing to do that for you!” Layla said weakly.
She knew that marrying Stefan was nothing more than a dream. Thus she only wished to stay with himas a servant. She didn’t need a name or title.
“I am capable of taking care of myself! So get lost!” Stefan flung his arm and knocked the coffee cup offof the table, visibly enraged.
He used to be so full of pride, after all.
Even so, the love of his life no longer cared for him, not even sparing him a glance. On the contrary, arandom servant was insisting on taking care of him forever, even if it meant taking a vow of chastity.
‘This is so ironic. This just makes my relationship with Renee sound like a joke!’
“Please… don’t be mad, Mr. Hunt. If you dislike me, I can just stop talking, I’ll be quiet when I’m withyou. You can treat me like a mere decoration if you so wish! I live to serve you…”
