"Oof, n... nope!" Renee immediately stopped grinning and stood up obediently. She didn't 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.

"Uhm, I didn't mean to make fun of you. I... I just haven't finished shaving you." 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.'

"No need." 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. "So you could do it yourself! That looks way better than what I did! Then... Why

did you ask me to shave for you?"

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 could’ve done it himself, but why did he ask me to help? Isn't that just plain flirting?'

'Could it be that... he remembered something and... felt something again?’

"Because I wanted you to, that's why," Stefan replied nonchalantly, a smile appearing on his handsome face.

'Ugh... What utter nonsense!'

Renee took a deep breath and composed herself. She tried to sound rational, saying, "You heard about it earlier,

right? I'm Jovan's girlfriend, so don't ask me for such favors anymore. I don't want my boyfriend to misunderstand."

"Really now?" Stefan smiled coldly. Although blind, he was rather sharp and managed to see through Renee's

heart." Why are you lying?"

"I'm not lying. Jovan really is my boyfriend. Didn't you hear how much he let me punch him just now? If we weren't

dating, he would've defended himself." Renee pursed her lips and spouted the bunch of nonsense in a serious tone.

She actually didn't 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 didn't want him to feel any more miserable than he already did.

"Sure, if you say so," Stefan responded sarcastically. His expression seemed conflicted.

Although he was blind, he wasn't dumb. He could sense how much Renee rejected Jovan, and the two didn't have

any chemistry at all. There was simply no way that they were a couple.

"But I can tell that Jovan's feelings towards you are true. You two could certainly try being together, to be honest."

The man said softly, expressionless.

"You want me to... try dating him?" 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.
