Female NovelChapter 1818
"Of course!" Renee nodded and said seriously, "I'll go to the karaoke bar and hire eight male escorts.One of them will massage my shoulders while another will massage my legs. One will sing with mewhile the other will listen to me vent..."
Stefan smiled in amusement. "Are you sure you can handle eight guys?"
"Of course I can! I've been loyal to you all these years and have never tried anything with other men. Iwant to experience something nice and improve my life." Renee was a feminist at heart-she couldn'tunderstand why men could flirt with other women after they got married but women had to stay loyal totheir men. If men could have affairs, then so could women; that was what fairness was.
"If you genuinely want to find someone you like, I'll give you my blessings. However, if you're just actingout of spite and want to find a man to take revenge on me, that's unnecessary." Stefan gently laid heron the bed and smoothed her hair tenderly. "You've got to love yourself more than me from now on,alright?" If this really was the end of their relationship, he wanted the rest of her life to be happy, andonly she could bring herself that happiness.
"Stop pretending to be a nice guy. What business is it of yours if I love myself or not? Does it affectyou? stop being a hypocrite." Renee's eyes flashed, and she looked agitated. "The people I hate themost are not villains, but people like you. You don't look like a bad guy but you don't practice what youpreach. You asked me to love myself well, but you're the one who hurt me the most!"
Stefan was silent for a long while, then he finally whispered, "Yeah, I'm the one who hurt you themost... and that's why, after a lot of deliberation, I chose to leave you. I want to put an end to all the hurtI caused you. I don’t want to keep on hurting you."novelbin
"Don't you think you're being cruel, Stefan? You can't be loyal, and you know that all you do is hurt me,so why did you keep pestering me? Do you enjoy hurting me? Does seeing me in pain validate yourcharm and skill?"
"I've never had such a thought." Stefan knew that Renee must be sober because of her tone, or maybeshe had never been drunk. She had just been waiting to confront him. Slowly, he stood up, forcinghimself not to indulge in that fleeting intimacy. "Just consider me a villain and forget about me. If youcan't, then keep me buried deep inside your heart and pretend that I never existed," he said icily, thenturned around to leave.
"Don't go!" Renee grabbed his waist from behind in the dark, holding him tightly. "Give me an answer."
"I made myself very clear-l want to stop hurting you." Stefan's tone was emotionless, and he didn'tmove an inch.
"I don't believe you!" Renee pursed her lips tightly and said stubbornly, "We would have broken upages ago if that was really the reason. There must be something else. Tell me what it is, and we'll faceit together."
Stefan was at a loss for words. He kept quiet, knowing all hell would break loose if he told her the truth.
