“Umm…” Renee couldn’t get any words out, no matter how hard she tried.

The man was a little too close for comfort. His handsome face, which reminded her of Stefan, seemed

even more attractive up close. Renee’s heart was beating fast, and she began to feel

nervous.

His eyes looked identical to Stefan’s… It was almost as if he could see right through her.

The only difference she could see was that Stefan’s eyes held a steely dominance, whereas Julian’s

weary gaze suggested he had been through a lot in life.

Renee sighed softly. Humans were indeed creatures of habit.

Four years ago, it was love at first sight when she met Stefan. Four years later, she fell for another man

who looked just like Stefan.

At this point, she couldn’t even tell if she was attracted to this handsome man or Stefan.

“What are you thinking?” The man murmured. He moved even closer to Renee, and she felt his warm

breath on her skin. His deep voice was intoxicating and smooth, like wine going down

her throat.

“Nothing. I should get going.” Renee backed away, but she moved a little too fast and nearly

fell.

The man reached out and easily caught her by the waist. “I might look like your husband, but I’m not

him. What are you so afraid of?”

“I’m not afraid!” Renee bit out, her cheeks flushed in anger.

However, she couldn’t deny that he was right. Why should she be afraid?

The other men ran away as soon as they heard she was Stefan’s wife. Not only did this guy stay, but

he even flirted with her. He clearly didn’t think much of Stefan, so she ought to enjoy

herself.

With this reasoning, Renee started feeling much more comfortable. She stopped behaving shyly, and

reached out to hold his chin. “I’m not afraid, kid. I’m just worried you might be afraid of me.”

This took him by surprise, and his eyes gleamed in interest. “Oh? Please explain.”

“You can’t handle me,” Renee said challengingly.

Julian’s eyes widened. “According to the rumors, Mrs. Hunt, you’re a prim and proper lady.

Does Mr. Hunt know about your wild side?”

“Why should I tell him? He’s a cold person who doesn’t know a thing about romance. Apart from killing

the mood, what else could he be capable of?” Renee rolled her eyes in disgust.

To Renee, Stefan was trash that she’d already thrown away. She’d no longer reminisce about the past.

The young man before her was much better, after all.

She continued teasing him. “What’s the matter? Did I scare you? Are you afraid to play with me now?”

Ordinary folks would have felt intimidated in this situation, but Julian was no ordinary man.

“I don’t think I’m lacking in the looks department, so I’ll give it a shot,” he said in a serious

tone.

“Alright, then. You said it yourself that this place won’t do, so let’s go somewhere else,” Renee replied

brightly. She grabbed the man’s tie and started dragging him out of the room.

The man seemed very obedient, and there was a playful smirk on his face that suggested he might

actually be enjoying himself.

Xavier, who happened to come to the club to look for someone, witnessed this very scene. His jaw

dropped. He wanted to stop Renee, but she had already dragged the unknown man into the

elevator.

The scene was so shocking that he stood there for a few minutes trying to process it. Once he regained

his senses, he immediately called Stefan. “Stefan, do you know who I just saw?”

“Get to the point.”

“Your wife is going to book a hotel room with another man!”

To make matters worse, Xavier added on bluntly, “That man looked just like

you too!”
