Chapter 1700 Renee was speechless. Of course she was aware of Jovan's feelings for her, but after everything that had happened, she didn't want to talk about it.
"If I could, I'd rather have you instead. Someone else can have that lousy Hunt Enterprise!" Jovan complained as he sulkily sipped his wine, acting like a child in front of Renee.
Renee's fingers tapped the table along to Miss Band's music, and she looked relaxed. Calmly, she said, "Jovan, | did owe you in the past, but | don't owe you anything now. What you want is none of my business. If you considera friend, please letgo back to my friend." She was no fool -she knew that her fate was in Jovan's hands today, but she still hoped that Jovan could be rational and let her go...
"Yes, you don't owe it to me, but | owe it to you. Your eyes are as perfect as gemstones, and | feel guilty every day that | use them. Do you think | can pretend to be ignorant and keep on shamelessly using them?" Jovan clenched his fists and blinked back tears. His eyes were originally slender, wicked, and scheming, but after he had gotten Renee's eyes, his gaze becgentler. It didn't look as cunning as it used to.
"No, you don't oweanything." Renee sounded rational and aloof, almost cruel. "I repaid you for Stefan's sake, so it's supposed to be Stefan who owes me. Since my eyes work well for you, just use them with peace of mind." "That's it? What about you?" Jovan demanded as tears rolled down his cheeks. He choked out, "How are you going to spend the rest of your life without your eyes? Don't you regret it?" "No, | don't. It's because | have eyes..." Renee smiled, looking wistful." Stefan is my eyes; | have nothing to fear for the rest of my life as long as he's around.” "Stefan, Stefan... It's always about Stefan!" Jovan snarled as he abruptly stood up. His gaze was wild as he demanded, "Where are your "eyes" now then? Where was he when people bumped into you, and nearly stepped on you?" Renee felt a pang of sadness, and bit her lip. "That's none of your business -you don't have to worry." Jovan walked over to Renee and put his fingers under hein, lifting her face to his. His gaze was cold and determined. "Since you've given your eyes to me, I'll be your eyes for the rest of your life." "What do you want, Jovan?" Renee's body tensed, and she could no longer stay calm. There were many people in this pub, but she was in the VIP area away from the crowd. She felt like a trapped bird, completely at Jovan's mercy.
"Don't be scared-l won't harm you. | told you... | want to be your eyes."
