Chapter 243

Author: Mizuki Sei
"Oh my god, Stef, you're finally here! I've called you hundreds of times! You didn't even pick up a single call! Chris was that close to sending his special forces just to find you!" Xavier exclaimed.

Waving towards Stefan, he had donned a dashing suit, with his hair neatly slicked back.

Stefan, however, was expressionless and calm. "Doesn't the wedding start in the evening? What's the rush?"

"Of course, we're in a rush! We're his groomsmen! We have to welcome the bride, and we need to take a group photo together too! We have so much to prepare!" Xavier gushed as he impatiently dragged Stefan backstage.

"Go clean yourself and change into a better suit! Your current look is too casual. It's like you're just here for a vacation!"

As the two reached the dressing room, Christopher could be found facing away from the door, staring at the beautiful scenery outside the window. He was wearing a white suit, his dashing features enhanced by a light touch of makeup. His gentle and elegant

    Having paced around the dessert section for quite some time, Renee began to feel her stomach rumble. She hadn't eaten anything yet.At the time, she was scarfing down a piece of mousse cake, as if she intended to join an eating competition. There was even still some cream stuck to the corner of her mouth, which made her look somewhat adorable.When someone called out to her out of nowhere, she lifted her head, and her eyes met Stefan's gaze that loomed over her.She found her current state rather embarrassing, so she quickly tidied herself up, putting on an elegant act. "They forced me to take this cake. I didn't really want to eat that much…"Christopher smiled, seemingly fond of this side of her. "Looks like our employees are pretty responsible… Don't worry, though—we've hired the best bakers, the best of the best, to make these desserts. They made sure to choose the ingredients well so it wouldn't be too fattening either!"Stefan's hands were snug in his pockets. He stared at R

    Christopher continued showing enthusiasm in inviting the woman.Renee thought to herself. 'It is his big day. It'd be rude of me to kill his joy.'Hence, she decided to agree. "Alright then!"At the same time, she turned to look at the lovely desserts lined on delicate tin trays. She gulped as she thought. 'Goodbye, my delicious desserts. I'll come back to you for sure! I promise!'Stefan noticed this, making the corner of his thin lips curve slightly."Wait." Stefan turned to Xavier, who was starting up the car."What's up, Stef? Don't tell me you're not close with your ex-wife now, of all people?""I'm just a little hungry. Let me get something to eat." The man responded coldly and strode towards the dessert section in the garden.After a short moment, Stefan brought a tray full of different desserts. There were milkshakes, cream puffs, mousse cakes, strawberry pudding, and more.Christopher and Xavier looked utterly shocked, their eyes widening and their mouths agape.Xavi

    The cream puff in Renee's hand fell, as her face was painted in a layer of red. She wondered, 'Is this guy okay? What the hell is he even saying?!'Stefan, however, looked calm and serious as he gazed upon her. "You said the same thing when you were biting on my lips last night, you know?"Xavier let out a dry cough, reminding them. "Oh my god, Stef, in broad daylight?! Rein in that wild side of yours, will you?!"Christopher smiled softly and added. "Could it be that you two have been pretty 'wild' with each other last night?"Stefan shrugged nonchalantly. "She's the one who was being 'wild.' I'm the victim here.""Stefan Hunt!!!" Renee yelled. She was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into thin air right this minute. She wanted to deny it, but she couldn't, especially with the solid evidence the man had on her. 'If this guy were to expose that dashcam footage out of spite, I'll be doomed!'Ah, whatever! I'll just keep quiet! I'm not going to fuss over such

    As knowledge and strength were both valued; the challenges included martial arts, mathematics, physics, chemistry, literature, history, philosophy, etc.The first challenge was related to literature, as the bridesmaids requested the men to recite the entirety of Act 2, Scene 2 in Romeo and Juliet. They chose this because it was a touching and well-known love story fitting for a wedding.The groomsmen consisted of ten handsome, smart, and wealthy heirs, some of whom had completed their postgraduate studies abroad. Yet, everyone was utterly dumbfounded upon hearing the challenge. 'What the heck? Who would randomly memorize an entire play for no reason?!' They all thought in their heads."So none of you can do it?" One of the bridesmaids smiled cheekily. "Fine then, I'll give you the option to bribe us. Starting from eight thousand dollars!""Yep, okay! Right away!" Xavier took his phone out, eager to participate. "You should have said so earlier! Why would we waste our time on some

    Everyone turned to look at Stefan, expressing disbelief. Most knew about the messy history between these three, after all.It was already quite surprising that Stefan attended the wedding in the first place, but now that he even took part in these wedding games, it resulted in everyone finding the man rather forgiving.Stefan pressed his lips together, remaining silent and standing still. He looked like he wanted to refuse. The atmosphere felt tense and extremely awkward in an instant.Realizing that they were going to be late, Xavier started panicking and sighed deeply. "Stef, we know this is crossing your boundaries…""But we have no choice. Didn't Cecy say she feels guilty about wronging you? That's why she wishes to hear your blessing! I'm guessing she'll be leaving the door shut till you speak up. Why don't you just… fulfill her wish. Just this once?"Christopher furrowed his eyebrows. "Xavier, don't push Stef. He should be the last person to ever do this!""But…" Before X

    Realization finally dawned upon Stefan, and he found himself not knowing how to react. 'How did this woman draw the conclusion that I'm sad?''I did look gloomy just now, but it wasn't because of Cecilia.'Instead, he was simply reminiscing about his marriage with Renee. He realized that the entire event was too rushed and dismissive. There wasn't a single thing that could be considered a good memory. Regretting his lack of attention then, he even went as far as to plan a whole new wedding in his head, hoping that he could get back together with the woman someday…However, he obviously wouldn't tell her the truth. On the contrary, he took the chance to mess with Renee. Putting up a perplexed face, he said, "Yeah, I'm so upset that my heart hurts, and I'm so angry that they would do this to me! What do I do?"This made Renee sympathize with the man even more, patting him on the head as comfort. "Don't be sad, cheer up… In my opinion, the best revenge is to live a better life tha

    Everyone was utterly shocked. Stefan’s action was similar to a bomb, causing an explosion in everyone's heads.That was because the rest had always known Stefan as a cold, calculated, and low-profile person. They thought he would never even dream of participating in a public display of affection, let alone displaying a kiss in public."Mmh!" Renee's eyes widened as her mind went blank. She instinctively tried to push him away but remembered she was supposed to help the man out.'If I struggle my way out, I'd be humiliating him, right?'With that, she chose to accept it, despite her initial unwillingness…Stefan's focus and burning passion completely disrupted her once-placid heart. As though she had been thrown into an oven, her face burned up as she started reciprocating his advances…"Yes! Exactly! So sweet! So sexy! You two should be an example to all the couples here!" The photographer was excited, to say the least, greedily capturing the moment as rapidly as he could.The c

    "Really now?" Stefan seemed conflicted, his lips curving upwards. "What should I do then? Should I crash the wedding in the name of love?"Renee's expression turned stiff for a moment, as mixed emotions welled up in her chest. 'So that means he really hasn't moved on from Cecilia.'In a way, her heart was aching for both him… and herself. She realized that their four-year marriage truly was a mistake from the start. Even without Briar driving a wedge between them, there was no way that she could've won his heart over.His first love had already taken over his entire heart, leaving nothing for her."If you really can't let her go, then have a good talk with Ms. Smith about your feelings. As long as you do that before the ceremony, it wouldn't be too late to change her mind…" Renee said, suppressing the bitterness in her heart. She acted as if she wasn't affected in the slightest, even going as far as to give him advice."Oh, and, if you really do love her, don't use such childish m

    Jovan called Stefan to sound the latter out. Anyway, it would be convenient for Stefan to rush over since they were both at the same spot. "I'll be right there," Stefan said. Then, he hung up.For a moment, silence washed over everyone, as if something terrible was about to happen.After taking in the new information, Leia said indignantly, "What's going on? Why does he want to come? Isn't he too shameless? How dare he come?" Although everything wasn't discussed openly, everyone knew why Stefan and Renee broke up all of a sudden, despite how lovey-dovey they were. The reason was that Stefan had cheated on Renee.Even if the adultery was faked, it was still the cause of their breakup. If Stefan were shameful or guilty, he wouldn't have agreed to come. He was going to face Renee there with their friends and family around. Certainly, it was embarrassing. "Hmph! Why not? He impersonated me, seized my business, and snatched away my woman. Plus, he led a steady life, got married

    Jovan's words made the atmosphere quiet and bizarre. "Are you out of your mind, Jovan? It's already very annoying to have someone like you here. Do you have to get another annoying guy?" Leia frowned, crossing her arms. She kept scolding him.Initially, the atmosphere was considered harmonious. It was still considered fine even if there was an annoying person like Jovan. Unexpectedly, he wanted to call another, more terrible person to come here. Things would certainly go wrong. "Ms. Osborne, you're famous for talking harshly, too. You're just like me. I love it." However, Jovan was not mad at all. He grinned while waiting for Stefan to answer the call. Generally, Stefan would not answer Jovan's call. Surprisingly, he picked it up that time."What's the matter?" Jovan purposely put it on speaker mode. Stefan sounded aloof and emotionless.Jovan sounded wicked as he calmly asked Stefan, "Do you want to join a gathering, Stefan?""I'm going to hang up if you don't say anythi

    In the past, Jovan had always regarded Stefan as a coward. Stefan couldn't forget about Renee, but he kept pushing Renee to another man. It seemed like Justin was more responsible, considerate, and gentle. Of course, Renee would lead a very happy, steady, and comfortable life with such a man. At the very least, Jovan felt that he could not be that meticulous and considerate. He would only drive Renee mad just to get her attention. "Hmph! Are you trying to humiliate me or yourself?" Justin didn't find that a compliment. Instead, it sounded like smockery. Jovan made it sound like Justin was a nice guy, but would not be picked by Renee. Usually, people like that had to suffer and would not end up well."I'm praising you." Jovan was helpless because of his reputation as the villain. Although he had said a lot of annoying things, he did want to compliment Justin. His love was probably as deep as Justin's, but his and Stefan's ways of loving Renee were much inferior to Justin's.

    "That's unnecessary." Justin stood in front of Renee, his face cold. He said firmly, "She's unwell and can't have wine." "Is she unwell? I didn't see that." Jovan sized Renee up before he sized Justin up. Then, he sneered, "And who are you to her? You can't stop her from having wine.""It's none of your business who I am to her. I said she can't have wine." Justin always kept peace with others, but at that moment, he was dominant. He didn't always want to control Renee, but she had drunk a lot of wine that day. It might have hurt her belly. Hence, he felt it better for her to abstain from wine lately. However, Jovan was unaware of that affair. He simply found Justin purposely showing his ownership over Renee, which disgusted him."Waiter, get her a glass of milk. She only wants that," Justin instructed a waiter, showing his consideration for Renee. "It's okay. I can have a little wine. Plus, I'm rather good at drinking. It's not easy for everyone to get together tonight. I do

    They danced for around ten minutes. Renee danced to the song heartily. Her initial gloomy mood also improved.Renee drank some water and took a few deep breaths. Then, she sincerely praised Leia, "Alright. Your welcome ceremony is bizarre, but it helped relieve my stress. I like it very much!"She could tell that Leia had painstakingly prepared that gift for her. After all, it was not easy to ask the Zambawi people from primitive tribes to sing an English song. "I'm glad you like it. I did this because I wanted you to relax and stop taking things seriously. You need to stop being so hard on yourself and get rid of all the pressure!" Leia said honestly. The Zambawi hand-drum dance came with the charms of a primitive dance. Its goal was to set people free. Of course, it was suitable for Renee to relieve her stress."Yeah, your stress is relieved. From now on, you'll start afresh. This is for you. I'm sure it'll be one of your happy memories." Liam handed the previous Polaroid to

    "This is your welcome ceremony. This hand-drum dance is to help eliminate bad luck." Leia held Renee's arm, satisfied with her arrangement. She said happily, "Listen to their song! It's a great song!""Is there a song?" Renee frowned; she felt that Leia was always doing bizarre things. She wondered how Leia could come up with such a preposterous welcome ceremony."Mm, listen carefully! It's English. You can understand it." At that point, Leia said to the Zambawi people, "Put on your microphone. And sing louder."The Zambawi people gave their cooperation. They used their typical Zambawi singing to sing the English song. While listening to the song, Renee found it very familiar. "The flowers will bloom in spring, and the birds are free. I'm still waiting, waiting for my love to come back. Hurry home!""Isn't that Spring Flowers by Curtis Harrett?" Renee finally recalled what song it was. It was a song with a happy beat. It could make people happy. The Zambawi people made th

    "I don't know, either. All I ever remember from when I was young is that I led a very painful life. I once tried my best to make the Garcia family accept me. I did all the dirty and tiring jobs. I went out to work at an early age to get money for them. I also did all the house chores. "But my foster parents were never nice to me. They would always beat me up or scold me. My elder foster brother also saw me as an eyesore. He always tried to get me killed…" Quinton calmly described his past. He no longer seemed to be in pain. All that was left in him was numbness, as if he were talking about someone else.However, Renee was always in pain whenever she heard him talk about his past. She felt like she had returned to his past with him and experienced those painful things. It was normal for her to feel that way because they were twins. A lot of their thoughts and feelings were synchronized. "I suddenly recalled that I would inexplicably become gloomy many times when I was young. I

    "I'm sorry." When Renee heard that from Quinton, she realized the conflict between him and Stefan had yet to be resolved. It was temporarily put aside because of her. She occasionally saw him and Stefan talk to each other and drink together, but they merely put on a show to ease her mind. Their hatred for each other hadn't been eliminated. Instead, it was growing secretly. If Renee were Quinton, she might never forgive the person who had snatched away her beloved and seized her identity. That person even ruined her face."Why did you say sorry to me? It's the resentment between him and me. It has nothing to do with you. Plus, I didn't know he was my brother-in-law then. If I knew, I wouldn't have fought him." When Quinton recalled those affairs, he realized that people were nothing but the sport of fate. If there had been no resentment between him and Stefan, Renee might not have broken up with Stefan. Their families might even get closer. "Stop bringing up the past. It's

    During these days, Renee was under pressure because of her affairs. She had no chance to ask Quinton about it. Now, the long flight gave them a chance to have a deep conversation. They could talk about their woes and seek consolation."Me?" Quinton lowered his head and shook his head helplessly. "I'm still the same old me. Nothing is troubling me. I've been busy with Carmine Pawnshop. I have no time to think about other stuff.""You have no time?" Renee touched her chin and smiled naughtily. "Then, you must have been dwelling on other stuff. Let me guess… Is it the thing between you and Joanne?" "Stop asking so much." Quinton did not deny it but refused to talk much about that. "It looks like I made the right guess. You fell out with Joanne, didn't you?" Renee knew Quinton well. Generally, his work would not affect his mood. The only person who could affect his mood was Joanne, who shared a complicated relationship with him. Before Renee left Beach City, she had created a l
