Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 1006

The man smiled, speaking in a knowing voice. “You were reckless. You’re not Seraphina. She hates Renee too much

to ever say anything good about her. Let me take a guess as to who you are…”

Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, falling into deep thought. “Are you Cecilia? Or Charlotte? Or are you Shirley…”

“Oh, I know. You must be Layla, the new caretaker my mother hired because I’ve never heard of your voice

before!”

Renee was initially consumed by sorrow, with her tears falling down like pouring rain. However, the man’s questions

made her roll her eyes instead.

‘How unexpected, Stefan Hunt, you had more women in line apart from Desrosiers and Murphy?’

‘That’s four other women that you’ve just guessed! You even assumed I’d be the caretaker you’ve never even met!

What about me?!’

‘Is he really still in love with me, or is he just faking it?’

Noticing that the woman wasn’t replying, Stefan continued. “Whoever you are, I just know you’re not Renee. Else

why would she not dare to face me when she’s sitting right beside me? Why would she care for me but not dare to

give me even a single hug?”

“That’s not her style.”

Renee was stunned, watching Stefan silently.

“But if you really are Renee, hug me. I said I’m willing to forgive you no matter what, right?” Stefan opened up his

arms, holding onto the last bit of hope in his mind, waiting for the woman’s embrace.

Although he was blind, he was not stupid. He could tell that this woman was imitating Seraphina’s voice on purpose.

However, he just wasn’t sure if she was Renee.

Hence, he went against his usual behavior and rambled on, hoping to help relieve her mental weight so that she’d

reunite with him.

He waited for such a long time to the point he found himself acting too desperately as well, and yet the woman still

wasn’t doing anything.

“I knew it. You’re disgusted by me. I am blind, and I can’t even take care of my basic necessities on my own. I don’t

deserve you anymore.” Stefan laughed at himself with his arms still open, waiting for her regardless.

He thought to himself, ‘This is the last chance I’m giving her.’

‘I can throw my dignity away and forgive her for her faults. All I want is a simple life with her.’

Renee covered her mouth, staring back at the sad lonely man. She didn’t dare to utter a sound, sobbing quietly

instead.

She told herself over and over again that she must not give in. That was because she made a deal with the gods.

She had to leave him in order for him to be safe.

She just didn’t want to risk anything after he barely survived what she put him through.

‘Goodbye, Stefan. The only thing I can do for you now… is stay away from you.’ Renee spoke in her mind, exiting

the backyard without alerting anyone.

She was worried that she might change her mind if she had stayed any longer. She knew that it would only hurt the

both of them if she broke her promise.

At the very same time, Stefan felt a soft fragrant body leaping into his arms. He hugged the person tightly,

surprised. “Are you finally willing to face me now, Renee?”
