Chapter 1049

“Dang, your face is smooth as usual. How can you have better skin than most women? I’m honestlyimpressed!” Renee murmured appreciatively as she touched the man’s face.

Stefan normally would act like a ferocious beast, refusing to allow anyone into his heart. Yet now, hejust seemed like a tame little kitten, and wouldn’t fight back no matter how she caressed him.

Just as she was getting addicted to it, Stefan suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up, pinning Reneeunder him in the blink of an eye.

His long, slender fingers wrapped around the woman’s neck harshly. As he continued tightening hisgrip, he growled, “I’m a weakling to you, huh? And you could just shove me into a bag after knockingme out, huh?! You damned woman, how dare you?!”

“You…!” Renee coughed and choked. Her lovely neck looked rather fragile, as if one could snap it ifthey used just a little force.

The man was using so much of his strength that it was starting to suffocate her. Her face was flushingdark red, and she was unable to utter a single word. Truthfully, her martial skills were more thanenough to deal with Stefan, who was heavily injured at the time. However, she did not resist, and wasinstead quite happy to see the man’s aggressive state since it showed that he was still willing to fightfor himself.

‘As long as he refuses to admit defeat, there is a possibility that he’ll get better!’

“Tell me… What is your purpose?!” Stefan demanded an answer coldly as he let go of her, just as shewas about to take her last breath. It seemed that he had given up on the idea of murdering the woman.

Renee immediately gasped for air, and the redness in her cheeks faded. She then burst into genuinelaughter. “See? That’s more like it! Stefan Hunt, the CEO of H Group, the ruler of Beach City, is back!”

“Are you mad? I almost killed you. Were you not afraid at all?” Stefan pulled his brows together, hisbright orbs staring at her blankly. His appearance was hauntingly beautiful. He had initially beenconfused, and the woman’s laughing only made him feel more suspicious.

“Of course not! Because I know you wouldn’t kill me, and I would never do the same to you. I don’thave any agenda against you.” Renee took a deep breath and stared at the man lovingly, hoping shecould freeze this moment forever.

The warm lighting made his perfectly sculpted face appear much more softer, the few strands of hairhanging in front of his forehead only enhancing his elegance further.novelbin

Renee slowly reached out and patted his shadow on the wall, pretending it was him. She even tried to‘help’ brush his hair back.

“That’s why you should tell me what your purpose is.” Stefan frowned deeply, still questioning her. Hedidn’t lack common sense or empathy, so he was able to feel the silent kindness this woman wasshowing him.

If she had truly wanted to kill him, she had many chances to do so throughout the night. Instead, shebrought him to a high-end sanatorium, and insisted on curing him. Such ‘kindness’ was making him feeleven more uneasy than the possibility of her wanting to kill him right then and there.

After all, people normally wouldn’t do such grand favors for free, and he doubted that she didn’t wantanything from him.

“Simple, I just want to help you regain your sight, and give you a second chance at a normal life,”Renee replied clearly.
