Chapter 255

Stefan nodded while opening the door to exit with Cecilia.

Suddenly, they bumped into Renee, who was holding a piece of cake.

“Uhm…” The two of them met eyes, yet Renee was the one feeling embarrassed, despite having nothing to hide.

“Ah… I didn’t bother your conversation, right?” She asked awkwardly.

Stefan didn’t reply, merely staring down at her with an arrogant gaze.

Renee, however, continued asking, ignoring the awkwardness. “Did you succeed? Did the ‘Heart of the Sea’ work? Are you guys planning on running away now?”

Hearing this made the man colder. He merely whispered something to Cecilia before walking past Renee. Acting as if they were complete strangers, his arrogance practically seeped out of his aura.

“That petty bastard! I just asked for some money! What’s with the attitude?! “ Renee mumbled angrily to herself as she watched him leave.

She actually wanted to find a place for a nap due to a wave of exhaustion from earlier events.

She never would’ve expected to bump into the two as they were in the middle of a ‘date.’

Although she strongly encouraged Stefan to steal the bride, she couldn’t help feeling upset, knowing that he actually went through with it…

As Renee was about to look for another resting area, Cecilia called out to her. “Miss Everheart, may I have a few words with you?’

“I have nothing to say to you.” Renee refused.

That was because she didn’t understand what Stefan’s first love could possibly want to tell his ex-wife, who was considered a failure.

‘Is she trying to one-up me? I don’t have the time or energy!’

“Don’t worry, Miss Everheart. It won’t take long. I’ll be able to get closure after saying this, so please fulfill my wish.”

“Ah…” Renee found Cecilia to be forthcoming and didn’t have the heart to refuse. “Alright, I’m listening.’

“It’s nothing, really. I just found out that you’re very important to Stef. That’s why I hope you can take good care of him…’

Cecilia seemed even more saddened after saying this. “We’ll never be able to get back together, but I really wish him happiness. He actually prioritizes love a lot, so he’d give his all as soon as he falls for someone. Back then…”

Renee spent ten whole minutes listening to Cecilia’s description of their love story and how the man was willing to give up everything for her.

“You should know this since you’ve slept with Stef before. He has a scar around his waist. He got that from protecting me, which is why I could never move on from him… Never…”

“Alright, alright, I’m getting tired…” Renee was quickly able to interrupt her with a smile. “You know, if you have so much to say, you could write it all into a book and publish it. You might even earn some extra cash from that.”

“Are you jealous, Miss Everheart?” Cecilia smiled. It was exactly what she wanted to achieve.

“This is a necklace, the token of our love. I’ve always had it with me, and now. I’m giving it to you. Take it, or just throw it away, it’s your choice. It symbolizes the ending to me and Stef’s relationship as well.”

Cecilia said and shoved the necklace into Renee’s hands.

The woman had obviously refused to take it, so the two looked as if they were fighting with each other.

Cecilia even fell to the ground from this, making the entire atmosphere really glum and hopeless.

Yet, the scene was also coincidentally captured by a person with certain intentions…
