Chapter 1079

Renee couldn’t say a word, and didn’t dare to move as she stared at Stefan in shock.

The thing they had was more than that. They had been deeply and passionately in love with each other. However, she could not bring herself to tell him the truth.

What a dilemma! She was afraid of him forgetting her, but at the same time, she was worried that he might recall who she was.

At that moment, the door opened, and a man’s voice said sarcastically, “Yes, she’s in love with a member of the Hunt family, but that person is me… not you.”

Jovan walked into the room, an irritated expression on his face.

Renee felt awkward, and quickly pushed away Stefan’s hands, putting some distance between them.

Stefan immediately saw that behaviour as guilt at being caught. It also proved that Jovan was not lying.

“So, you’re saying that you guys are a couple?” Stefan’s eyes turned cold as he asked gloomily.

“Stefan, you’re so smart. You guessed right…” Jovan slowly walked to Renee and hugged her shoulders intimately. “My girlfriend and I are quarrelling, so she turned to you to annoy me. Don’t take it seriously.”

“Jovan, that’s enough. Cut the crap!” Renee was irritated by the pesky man, so she glared at him fiercely and elbowed him hard.

Jovan winced in pain, but was secretly happy. Though he didn’t understand why, he felt that she noticed him more when she was fierce with him.

“Baby, don’t be mad at me. I know I was wrong. Please don’t use Stefan as a tool. He’s blind and disabled now. If you play with his feelings, he’ll go mad.” Jovan smirked as he stared at Stefan.

He knew how humiliating this was for the arrogant Stefan.

“Jovan, shut up!” Renee could neither argue nor speak frankly, so she was very frustrated. If Stefan wasn’t around, she would have taught Jovan a lesson!

Jovan didn’t take her seriously, and continued mockingly,” Stefan, my girlfriend is a kind-hearted person. She thinks you’re pitiful because you’re blind, so she stays to take care of you. Well, you’re my cousin, so I decided to stay and take care of you too. With me and my wife taking care of you together, I’m sure we’ll serve you well and let you have a great time.”

He was waiting for Stefan to become angry and drive Renee away. After all, the greatest humiliation for a man was pity from a woman, especially when the man was as arrogant as Stefan.

Of course, Renee knew Stefan well, and she knew how painful Jovan’s words were to him. Hence, she hurriedly explained, “Stefan, don’t believe a word he said. That’s not the reason I want to stay and take care of you…”

“It’s fine.” Surprisingly, Stefan was extremely composed. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having additional help.”

He smirked before he calmly said in Jovan’s direction, “The socks I just changed out of are yet to be washed. I’ll have to trouble you forthat.”

Jovan was flabbergasted.

Stefan continued, “Wash them with your hands. You know that I only wear clothes that are hand-

washed.”

Jovan’s jaw dropped, and he gaped at Stefan like a goldfish.

After that, Stefan said to Renee, “The sunshine seems good today. Help me change my clothes then go out for some fresh air with me.”

Renee was speechless. Stefan… had not lost his temper?
