Renee thought for a while before she replied, “Your house is very beautiful, so I decided to take a strolland look around. But during my stroll, I had to pee, so…” To avoid Justin’s suspicion, she had tosacrifice her image.
“Oh, I see…” Justin smirked and said, “I should’ve come earlier then.”
‘You pervert!” Renee felt guilty for lying to him, so she tried to push the blame to him. “If you keep thisup, I’ll go home tomorrow and stop this whole act.”
“I’m sorry, my bad. I won’t joke around anymore. Why are you dressed like a servant though? And yourmakeup looks weird too…” Justin gave her an odd look.
“What do you mean by that? This is how I look with a bare face. Do you find me ugly? And I got thisshirt from the closet, it looks nice so I wore it. Are you trying to say that I look like a servant?”
“No. I…” Justin was lost for words.
‘There’s no need to explain. I’m tired, novelxo so I want to rest now!” Renee exclaimed, and leftimmediately.
Justin watched as she gradually disappeared from view, and a smirk crept on his face.

After Renee returned to her room, she changed her clothes, took off her makeup, and decided to go tobed.
The bed was so comfortable – it felt like she was sleeping on cotton because it was so soft. Soonenough, she drifted off to sleep.
She slept so deeply that she had a dream… or more accurately, she considered it a nightmare becauseStefan was in it. In it, Stefan had held a whip, tied her to a chair, and threatened her, “Brave, aren’t we?So brave that you dare to betray me and marry another man! Come back now, or else I will punishyou!”
The whip hit the floor with a loud crack. Then, he took a hot iron rod and was about to hit her with it…
“Ah! No, I’ll come home immediately!” Renee screamed, waving her arms and kicking her legs.
“What happened? Are you having a nightmare?” A gentle hand stroked Renee’s back and a soothingvoice comforted her, “Don’t be scared, you’re alright.”
Renee instantly woke up from the nightmare and opened her eyes drowsily. She saw Sophia staring ather kindly. In her sleepy state, she saw her mother’s image flash before her, and she subconsciouslyclung on to Sophia. “Mom, I miss you… Can you and Dad stay with me forever?”
In front of outsiders, Renee appeared to be strong and brave, as if she could overcome any obstaclethat came her way. However, she was still only in her early twenties – like a beautiful and fragile flower.She would only be vulnerable around people she was close to. 1
‘What did you dream about to scare you like this?” Sophia liked Renee, and when she saw Renee insuch a helpless and vulnerable state, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. “Don’t be scared, no onewould dare hurt you anymore. The Baldwin family will protect you.”
Slowly, Renee regained her senses and realized what had happened. She instantly sat up. “I’m sorry,Aunt Sophia.”
The two began chatting, and eventually, a phone call interrupted them.
