Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 1243

Haze closed his eyes and tried to kiss Renee. For the first time, Renee did not punch him, but tried to accept it.

Human beings needed roughly seven years to have a full cell metabolism, so maybe a person could transform into

someone else in seven years.

Renee knew that she had loved Stefan wholeheartedly for more than ten years. Even her cells had completed their

metabolism, so by right, she should also get a new lover.

After all, a vague love affair would probably just fade with time.

Their lips gently came into contact, but before they could deepen the kiss, a cold breeze hit them.

"No, I can't!" Renee suddenly gasped, and pushed Haze away. She looked like she had woken up from a dream, and

said remorsefully, "I must be out of my mind!"

Haze frowned and held her shoulders, asking gently, "What's wrong? What's troubling you?’

"Nothing's wrong, it's just..." Renee shook her head and muttered, "Men and women should get together because

they love each other, not because they have the same interests. Of course I can't just casually date someone just

because my love affair failed. It's unfair to you.'

"No, that's not it," Haze insisted.

"It is, since we have no love for each other. We just laid out the reasons that we're suitable for each other, but we

didn't mention love. Shouldn't that be the foundation for us to be together? Without it, it's useless even if we have

compatibility," Renee tried to explain to Haze.

Haze was practically tailor-made for her, but she felt nothing for him.

Even dogs could find the stinky old toy they yearned for among a bunch of fancy new toys. Maybe Stefan was like

the old toy she couldn't forget about. People might feel disgusted by it and tell her to pick something else, but she

couldn't change her old habits.

If that was the case, then she deserved to suffer!

After Haze listened to her explanation, he was silent for a long time before he whispered,

"That's what you think. You haven't chosen to be with me yet, so you'll never know whether love can bloom

between us. There's love at first sight as well as the love that grows with time. Maybe we'll find that we can love

each other after spending more time with each other. We'll be the kind of soulmates who are very in tune with each

other."

"No, that's impossible. If that was the case, we would have fallen in love much earlier." Renee waved her hand

dismissively and said firmly, "We can only be friends and teammates. We're indeed in tune with each other, but it'll

be impossible for love to grow between us."

"What if I’m kind and good enough to make you fall in love with me?"

"Kind?" Renee chuckled and looked at him in amusement. "It takes seven years for a full metabolism. How long can

your passion last? Don't bite off more than you can chew."

"You don’t have to worry about it. My passion can last for a very long time. After all, didn't I soldier through after so

many years? Probably, the reason that I failed to make you warm up to me is..." Haze smirked and suddenly gave

her a peck on the lips. "Maybe I'm not hot enough."

He quickly pulled away but said confidently, "Don't worry, we'll fall in love with each other sooner or later... After all,

I managed to win over my future brother-in-law. As for you, you'll soon be mine!"

After that night, Carmine Pawnshop began its cooperation with the Baldwin family. However, it had suffered a

gigantic loss previously because of the shipwreck, so they could not transport the treasures back on time.
