Chapter 1081
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âOof, n⦠nope!â Renee immediately stopped grinning and stood up obediently. She didnât even dare to breathe too loud.
She had to admit, despite his sickness, his innate aura was still rather imposing. Thus, while he expressed anger, the atmosphere became rather cold, and she was smart enough to know when to stop.
âUhm, I didnât mean to make fun of you. I⦠I just havenât finished shaving you.â Renee looked for an excuse carefully, aware of the tense atmosphere.
Hehehe, I saved the photos anyway. I can just look back on them in the future.â
âNo need.â Stefan reached his arm over to the table and looked for the razor. He then shaved his stubbles clean by going around his entire neck with the razor. He completed the entire process with practiced ease, as though it came as second nature to him.
Renee was stunned, pointing at him. âSo you could do it yourself! That looks way better than what I did!
Then⦠Why did you ask me to shave for you?â
From her point of view, helping a man shave was an extremely personal task, just as much as helping someone blow dry their hair. Only those in romantic relationships would do this for each other.
He couldâve done it himself, but why did he ask me to help? Isnât that just plain flirting?â
âCould it be that⦠he remembered something and⦠felt something again?â
âBecause I wanted you to, thatâs why,â Stefan replied nonchalantly, a smile appearing on his handsome face.
âUgh⦠What utter nonsense!â
Renee took a deep breath and composed herself. She tried to sound rational, saying, âYou heard about it earlier, right? Iâm Jovanâs girlfriend, so donât ask me for such favors anymore. I donât want my boyfriend to misunderstand.â
âReally now?â Stefan smiled coldly. Although blind, he was rather sharp and managed to see through Reneeâs heart.â Why are you lying?â
âIâm not lying. Jovan really is my boyfriend. Didnât you hear how much he let me punch him just now? If we werenât dating, he wouldâve defended himself.â Renee pursed her lips and spouted the bunch of nonsense in a serious tone.
She actually didnât intend to trick Stefan either, but she had no other choice; it was to prevent him from ever catching any feelings for her. Otherwise, her departure would only result in an absolute heartbreak.
She didnât want him to feel any more miserable than he already did.
âSure, if you say so,â Stefan responded sarcastically. His expression seemed conflicted.
Although he was blind, he wasnât dumb. He could sense how much Renee rejected Jovan, and the two didnât have any chemistry at all. There was simply no way that they were a couple.
âBut I can tell that Jovanâs feelings towards you are true. You two could certainly try being together, to be honest.â The man said softly, expressionless.
âYou want me to⦠try dating him?â Renee froze.
It was obvious that she never expected him to think this way. Not only was he not falling for her, but he was even pushing her to date someone else as well.
This made her realize she was merely overthinking, giving herself unnecessary worries.
