Chapter 1557
“A breakthrough?’ “Yes, a point of realization for you both that will finally make the both of you choose each other.” Renee hoped they could reach that point because both she and Stefan had experienced it too. She knew full well how terrible it felt to be trapped in an ambiguous relationship; Leia and Xavier would only realize that they were meant for each other after going through hardships together.
As the night went on, Renee and Leia’s conversations grew deeper. Leia had spoken a lot, and after a while, she fell asleep with tears on her cheeks. However, Renee couldn’t fall asleep because she felt like this was just the calm before the storm…
What she didn’t know was that Jovan’s car was parked outside the manor.
The street lights illuminated Jovan’s face as he sat in the car, bathing half of his face in light and the other in darkness. It reflected his current state well-he never knew if he was a good person or a bad one. He had been waiting for a long time outside the manor and had heard the soft conversation from within. He was sure that Renee was blind, and it was clear who she had given her eyes to…
When Jovan was on his way there, he had thought of what he would do when he reached Everheart Manor. He wanted to grab Renee by the shoulders and ask her how she could have been stupid enough to give her eyes to a useless person like him. However, he hesitated when he arrived at her house. He couldn’t find the words to say, and he couldn’t return her eyes to her. After experiencing that endless darkness, he didn’t want to go back to that hell.
Not being able to see had been bad enough, but having to rely on someone to do things like wash his underwear was downright humiliating.
The worst part of it all had been becoming a worthless person-he had lost everything, including the woman he loved.
He stayed outside the manor all night, staring at the doorbell but unable to ring it. “I’m sorry, Renee… Please forgive me for being so selfish. I lost you once, but it won’t happen again. I’ll do whatever it takes to make you mine, even if it means becoming a monster!” Jovan promised fiercely before leaving the manor quietly, as if he had never been there at all.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
A sudden knock woke Stefan up from his sound sleep. He got up and opened the door, and was shocked to see Renee standing there. “Oh, dear! Why are you here alone? You’re going to be the death of me, woman. Come inside!” Stefan led her into the wooden house and grabbed a coat to wrap around her. He checked her and made sure she was okay, then sighed in relief. He stared at her in bewilderment, vaguely wondering if she was faking her blindness. “How did you even get here? You came here from the second floor, but you’re not hurt at all.”
“Is it really that difficult?” Renee raised her brows and said smugly, “I put a mini tracker on you which tells me your location, and the app will guide me there. So, don’t even think of abandoning me-l can find you no matter where you hide!”
