Chapter 412
“You seem eager to have her dead.” Stefan shot Renee a dirty glare, carrying Briar bridal-style andlaying her down at a resting area nearby.
Renee had almost died because of Briar’s sudden outburst, and a panicked Stefan had no choice butto hit Briar on the back of the neck to knock her out for a while. Renee might not have survivedotherwise.
Briar would probably be better after resting, so Stefan didn’t try to wake her up. Instead, he turned toRenee, who was still in the children’s section, and pointed at the clothes on the ground. His eyesnarrowed as he asked, “Why are you buying so many children’s clothes?”
Renee and the employee were busy putting the outfits on the ground back into her bags. She scoffeddismissively, “Why do you care? Am I not allowed to buy cute things?”
Stefan squatted down and picked up one of the striped socks near him, observing it curiously. The sockwas pink, soft, and no bigger than his hand. He couldn’t deny it was cute, and it softened his heart forsome reason.
“So you bought these socks… because they’re cute?” Stefan asked dubiously as he handed them toRenee.
However, the woman didn’t want to play buddy-buddy with him, and shot him a disgusted look. “I didthink it was cute, yeah, but now you’ve dirtied it with your hands. I don’t want it anymore.”
“You!” Stefan was furious. ‘What the hell? Didn’t she say she hoped we could still be friends?! She wasacting so nonchalant before, but now she’s acting like I’m some kind of curse! What’s her problem?!’
“I just knocked Briar out just to save you, and this is how you thank me?!” Stefan wanted anexplanation for her behavior, so he blocked her way to question her. He scowled as he asked her,“What have I done to piss you off this time?”
Renee felt her blood boil, and her eyes blazed in rage. “Do you really not know? Or are you justpretending to be oblivious, Hunt? I couldn’t tell before, but you and Desrosiers really are a family, aren’tyou? Now that she’s joined your family, she’s just so eager to choke people too. You weren’t able tobreak my neck four years ago, so your girlfriend is doing it for you now. Why are you pretending to be agood person?”
Honestly, four years was enough for her to let go of her miserable past, and move on from the man infront of her. However, when Briar was choking her, painful flashbacks of Stefan doing the same playedin her head. His grip had been much stronger than Briar’s, and Renee still remembered the feeling ofthat near-death experience like it happened yesterday. Those upsetting memories had never left, andremembering them had just made her pain resurface.
There was no way she could be entirely numb towards the situation.
Seeing how agitated the woman was, Stefan felt a little satisfied. ‘She’s finally not acting like anemotionless statue. Her mood was affected…
because of me.’
Although she was upset with him, it proved to him that he still mattered to her in some way. It made hisdead, cold heart explode with passion once again.
“That’s right, I’m not a good person! So hate me, yell at me, you can even hit me…” Stefan grabbedRenee’s hand all of a sudden, placing it on his chest. “If you’re so angry with me, if you hate me thatmuch, then don’t hold back! There’s no need to pretend you’re doing fine on your own.”novelbin
He just wanted to tell her that she could hate him and take her anger out on him as she liked, but hecouldn’t bear it when she ignored him. He would rather them fight with each other than becomecomplete strangers
