Chapter 1072

His gloomy eyes lit up like a lighthouse at night, as if her words had sparked a flame of hope in his soul. Elated, he asked her eagerly, “Does that mean that you can’t bear to see me dead?”

“That’s irrelevant.” Renee huffed impatiently. “I just want to know what you want in return if I beg you to let Stefan go.”

“Well, it isn’t a price, but rather, a choice you have to make.” Jovan took a deep breath. It was rare to see such calmness and rationality on his handsome face. “If you’re willing to live an isolated life with me, I’ll give H Group up. I’ll even stop meddling in all those disputes and fights.”

“That’s it? I just have to go with you?” Renee asked in bewilderment. She thought that he would make an outrageous request such as serving him or something like that, and had been prepared to slap and scold him for being a pervert.

Surprisingly… all he wanted was that.

“That’s right. That’s all I want.” Jovan closed his eyes, longing clear on his face. “We’ll find a secluded place away from everyone and live a peaceful life.”

“Er…” Renee was slightly stunned. Jovan wasn’t a stupid man, and he was considered pretty crafty to have been able to scheme and snatch H Group in the end. However, in the end, he was just a lovestruck fool. He had done so much to get here, but all he wanted was to lead a quiet life with her.

He was clearly an antagonist, but why wasn’t he ruthless and cruel like one?

Jovan continued humbly, “Don’t worry, I just want you to live a quiet life with me. I won’t force you if you’re unwilling to do other stuff.”

Renee retorted, “Do you think you can?”

Jovan said softly, “You won’t know unless you give me a chance.”

When Renee saw his gaze growing hungry, she quickly changed the topic. “It sounds like the price is pretty reasonable. I’ll think about it.”

After all, she planned to disappear from Stefan’s life the day he recovered, and let him be with Seraphina.

“Okay, I’ll give you three minutes to consider. I want a definite answer by then.” Jovan suppressed his joy and pretended to be calm. Three minutes later, Jovan inquired eagerly, “Have you thought it through? Are you willing to leave with me?”

Renee bit her lip. Although it had only been three minutes, it was enough for her to think it over carefully. “I’ll go with you, but… I have one small request.”
