"That's good.” When Renee heard a satisfactory answer, she wrapped the blanket tightly around her and muttered, "You know I hate people lying to me the most.” She seemed to be in a beautiful dream that she had
fantasized about numerous times.
Soon, she dozed off steadily and sweetly.
Stefan remained quiet and tenderly patted her back, as if he was trying to comfort a child.
In the dark, his eyes shone with a de epened passion and restraint.
Even so, he didn't lie to Renee.
Before he fell out with Renee, he spent a lot of money to buy four sets of professional diving equipment.
He planned to retum to Sun Island with her, Adie, and Abby after he was done with his work at Hunt Enterprise.
He wanted a peaceful life with them.
Sun Island had always been a peaceful island with beautiful scenery.
The quality of the water there was top-notch in the world.
It was a great place for diving.
Stefan had imagined going there many times.
They would be very happy living on the island.
Unfortunately...
Things did not tum out as planned.
Four sets of professional diving equipment were left in his cloakroom, unused.
Stefan would probably never get to use them.
‘When it was almost dawn, Stefan failed to hold on.
He hugged Renee, and dozed off into a sound sle ep.
By then, Renee had woken up.
She still remembered the previous conversation with Stefan.
It gave her a sudden blow, and she quickly sat up in bed.
"Oh, my! That wasn't a dream.
It was real?" Renee watched the familiar bedroom and the man whom she was very familiar with lying beside her.
Remorse overwhelmed her, as if she were a young woman who had first tasted lovemaking.
She felt like dying.
‘Oh, my! You're so fearless and reckless, aren't you? How could you get entangled with him again? Don't you have any self-esteem? If people learn about this, 1'1] kill myself even if they don't tell me off about it." Renee held her breath, and carefully pushed the blanket aside to avoid awkwardness from facing him.
She wanted to sneak away.
She st epped on the carpet, and bent over.
She searched for her high heels for a long time before walking out of the bedroom while holding them. "Yes, you can do it.
Once you're out, you can pretend that this never happened.
This humiliating day will only remain in your dream A shamed Renee k ept cheering herself on She felt very uneasy for having sl ept
in the same bed as Stefan.
It was a great humiliation to her.
Finally, she snuck out of the room.
She breathed a sigh of relief and was
about to go downstair when shem
bumped into Francine, who was EIT
‘waiting outside the room
"Miss, you were drunk last night so I didn't get to talk to you.
You're awake now.
Let's have breakfast together..." Francine began.
At first, she didn't recognize Renee.
She said a great deal before she suddenly notieed Renee's, face she was dumbstruck
"You...
You..." Then, Francine burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!
