Chapter 288

Renee froze. She looked at Stefan with puzzled eyes, not daring to move an inch.

Her fair cheeks were blushing so hard that it was visible to the naked eye.

What... What's the meaning of this?

Stefan seemed quite at ease. He looked straight ahead and said faintly, "Sorry, grabbed the wrong

thing."

After that, he moved his hand to the gear lever and smoothly adjusted its position from neutral to drive.

The sports car whizzed along the road.

It moved fast, like Renee's heartbeat!

She only realized after a long time that she... just got teased?

"Stefan, did you just flirt with me?" 1

Renee tilted her head to the side to look at the man who was focused on driving. Her cheeks were

puffed with anger, looking like a little squirrel. It was very cute.

Stefan raised his eyebrows and stared at the woman with a smile on his face. Instead of answering, he

asked, "What do you think?"

Renee rubbed her chin and, after thinking about it carefully, said with a serious expression, “I think

you're flirting with me, but your flirting skills are terrible!"

If he wanted to hold her hand, he should have just done it.

Grabbed the wrong thing? Why didn't he say he was blind instead?

Seeing him purse his lips without saying anything, Renee continued to ridicule him fearlessly. “I thought

you specifically asked your good friend for advice on courting women? Why are your skills still so

terrible? You must not be very bright!"

Stefan's handsome face had gone stiff. He said coldly, "Xavier Stuart, how dare you sell me out? You're

gonna pay for this! ”

He already found it embarrassing enough that he had to ask for advice on courting women at his age,

but that stupid Xavier actually went and told his target everything, embarrassing him even further!

However, speaking of Xavier, Stefan's handsome face immediately became serious. He asked, "How is

that idiot doing? I heard from the paramedics that his injury's pretty serious."

Renee also seemed worried, "It is pretty serious. An air-con box fell on his right leg and broke his calf

bone. It only happened because he tried to save me. I don't even know how I can repay him..."

"You don't have to!"

Stefan suddenly tightened his long fingers on the steering wheel. He sounded displeased as he

chastised her, "Don't take responsibility for everything. If he asks you to give yourself to him, are you

really gonna give yourself to him?"

"What are you saying? He's Xavier. How could he possibly ask that? 11

Renee looked at Stefan with a confused face.

She could not understand why this guy was getting angry at her again for no apparent reason.

Xavier was her savior, and she wanted to repay his kindness. What's wrong with that?

The atmosphere inside the car suddenly became somewhat tense, as if a storm was brewing. Neither

of them spoke.

Renee did not know where Stefan was taking her and she did not bother asking.

She thought the temperamental man was like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.

She was an idiot for feeling moved for a brief instant earlier!

After a long time, Stefan finally broke the silence. "Don't you understand that there can be no debt of

favors between men and women? If anyone has to repay this kindness, it should be me!"

"You..."

Renee froze.

It was getting quite late. The car sped forward, passing through rows of street lamps. Under their dim

illumination, Stefan's handsome and defined features alternated between bright and dark,

unpredictable just like his deep and complex mind.

She was really baffled by him. Since there could be no debt of favors between men and women, and if

he repaid Xavier's favor for her, how should she repay him, then?

Renee turned her attention to the scenery outside the window. It was only then that she realized the

road they were on was the one leading to the Hunt Villa.

She immediately yelled, "Stop the car! I don't want to go back to the Hunt Villa!"

The Hunt Villa was a cage that had imprisoned her for four years. It was a place filled with hope and

disappointment, causing her endless humiliation. She did not want to step foot in that place ever again.
