Chapter 252

Sticking to her principle of working hard for the one who paid, Renee started looking for seashells with

a serious face.

Stefan, on the other hand, followed behind the woman from a short distance, as if he was her secret

guardian angel, protecting her from afar.

With the light wind breeze, the two walked around the warm golden sand, leaving their footprints

behind as their shadows danced over each other. The scenery was just wonderfully romantic, as

though it had come straight out of a teenage romance film...

"Oh my god! I found it! I found it!" Renee cheered excitedly after digging behind a reef.

Stefan seemed amused and dumbfounded at the same time. 'So it really exists?'

He was someone who was solely aligned with materialism, and normally viewed things in a complete

logically way. Hence, he didn't believe in myths at all.

Despite this, he somehow didn't intend to undermine the woman's efforts, seeing just how exhilarated

she seemed. He even approached her, acting as if he was just as interested.

"What does it look like? Let me see."

’Look! This is the 'Heart of The Sea'! Doesn't it look like a heart? And it's pink too!" Renee washed the

sand off of the heart-shaped seashell. She then smiled very widely as she carefully held it up to show

Stefan what she found.

Under the sunlight, the pink seashell seemed to emanate a dreamy glow. The colors triggered a

magical atmosphere that was filled with love.

"Ahem!" Stefan cleared his throat, hoping that he could tell the woman that he'd seen seashells like this

all over the place when he was on a vacation in Alnwick. It wasn't something she should cheer over.

However, he managed to hold in the urge to reveal this truth, going against his usual mindset, and

replied softly, "Mhm, it's alright, I suppose."

He himself had no idea why he had suddenly become 'kind and considerate ' when he usually would

just do whatever he wanted.

Stefan then figured it was because the woman had rarely shown such a soft side, considering they

always fought every time they spoke.

He simply wished to preserve this moment for the time being...

Just then, Renee quickly went into professional mode and took her phone out, calculating the total time

they spent.

"So it took us an hour and thirty-seven minutes to xo find this seashell."

"According to what we agreed, you'll have to transfer 145500 dollars. With the discount, your total

amount will be 116400 dollars. I'll round the number down to 116 thousand, then. Pay up!"

After tapping on her phone several times, Renee lifted her chin and flashed him a big smile. "How was

that? Money well spent, right? Just get on one knee and present her with this seashell at the wedding!

No woman could possibly resist this!"

Stefan was speechless. 'Damn it. I was too careless.'

This woman is so calculative she can throw someone under the bus at any time! How could she

possibly be a soft, adorable sweetheart?!'

Stefan's dashing facial features were now plastered with a layer of frost. Just as he was about to leave,

Renee grabbed his hand and said, "Don't go just yet! Take the 'Heart of The Sea' with you!"

She then pried the man's hand open, placing the pink seashell right onto his palm. "You spent a lot just

to get this love charm. It will definitely bring you luck.’

Stefan fell silent. He wondered if the woman was being sarcastic, and at that moment, he felt like

lashing out at her.

The wedding ceremony was extraordinarily lively, with almost all the guests present in gorgeously

tailored apparel, chattering around the church.

Christopher and the group had finally brought the bride over, and they were merely waiting for the

ceremony to begin.

Stefan and Renee had arrived at the venue too, but their appearance together attracted quite some

gossip.

"Hasn't your cousin divorced her? Why did they show up together? And why do they still seem pretty

close?"
