Chapter 1799
Meanwhile, Stefan stared at the computer screen in a manor not far from Everheart Manor. He read the email he had just clicked on and frowned, his gaze cold but also somewhat sad."Don't come back for the rest of your life if you don't want to?" Xavier sipped his coffee as he leaned over Stefan's shoulder to read the email. He chuckled when he saw who the sender was. "I'm sure Adie didn't write this. It sounds so angry… I'm sure it's Renee.""I don't need your analysis. I'm not stupid," Stefan growled icily. He had been living next door to Everheart Manor recently, watching the house secretly. He had emailed Adie to reassure the two children, and they had been keeping in touch, so he knew how his son wrote emails. He didn't need Xavier to point out the obvious. "Stefan, why do you insist on hiding from everyone?" Xavier could not bear to see Stefan this dispirited, and tried to persuade him. "You should talk it out with Renee so you can resolve this conflict. If you keep acting lik

Stefan's expression didn't change and he was quiet for a while. Finally, he asked, "Do you have a needle and string?""No?" Xavier looked confused. "Why are you asking?" "I want to sew your lips shut," Stefan said casually, then stood up and walked towards the kitchen. "Actually, a knife will do too. I can cut off your tongue and solve this problem forever.""Stefan, no! I know you're upset that your masculinity is on the line, but don't implicate the innocent! The medical field is very advanced now, and I'm sure a good doctor can cure it." Xavier babbled nervously, picking up a pillow and using it like a shield.Stefan glared at him. "Why would you assume there's something wrong with me?""It was just a guess!" Xavier argued, "If there's nothing wrong with you in that aspect, why did you suddenly go missing? And you even watch them constantly. If you weren't handsome, people would call you a pervert." Recently, both Xavier and Renee had almost lost their minds searching for Stef
Chapter 1801
If Stefan lived near Renee, he could at least watch Renee secretly. It was as if they were still together but in a different way."Of course I care about someone a lot," Xavier protested, immediately bringing up Leia. "Don't I care about Leia? You know how shameless I am just to get close to her. Back then, didn't I do everything for Shirley too? Did I give up? I'm bolder than you in my love affairs. Don't you agree?" Xavier felt that Stefan could doubt his morality, capabilities, and even looks, but he couldn't doubt Xavier's feelings. "Although we didn't have dramatic pasts like you and Renee, our feelings were real, and we faced the same challenges. We're just not as crazy as the two of you!""So?" Stefan stared at Xavier icily. "Are you both a couple? Are you closer to her than before?""Umm..." Xavier seemed to shrink, and looked away awkwardly. Stefan was right in a sense—all Xavier's attempts at a relationship were failures. At first, he had loved Shirley madly, but he then g

After that, Xavier left the manor and chose to head to Everheart Manor. Even after Xavier scolded him, Stefan still behaved like a nocturnal animal that lurked in the dark. He neither went out nor prepared himself to meet Renee, and just sat there gloomily for a long time. Finally, he stood up and picked up the high-power binoculars on the table, then pointed it at Everheart Manor through the thick curtains. His bedroom was facing the backyard of Everheart Manor and Renee's bedroom. He saw Renee having fun with Adie and Abby in the yard, and his heart ached. Her new eyes looked nice, and he was happy she could see again, even if they weren't as beautiful as her old eyes. She could play with the children and take care of them well now. Jovan could be quite extreme sometimes, but he had done a good thing for Renee. Because of that, Stefan would give them his sincere blessings if Jovan did win Renee over. The backyard of Everheart Manor was large with lush grass and plenty of flowers.

The person who spoke was none other than Xavier, who had just arrived from the other manor. Leia was also there, having rushed over after she heard the news, as well as Justin, who refused to leave, and Jeffrey, who was always cautious of the people surrounding Renee.Renee turned around and saw them standing there. She sighed helplessly and complained, "You're all so clingy!" She wanted to have some fun with the children alone, but these people followed her everywhere she went. Now, they were even insisting on joining this simple game."You look great, Ren! You have no idea how much I missed you when you were away. I couldn't even sleep..." At first glance, Leia could tell that Renee had changed a lot. The depressing aura surrounding her was gone, and she was back to her usual spirited self. Delighted, Leia rushed over and hugged Renee tightly, sobbing, "Welcome home, bestie!""Thank you for forgiving me!" Renee hugged Leia and patted her shoulders reassuringly. "Anyone else would

Xavier adjusted his 'blindfold', the eye mask, and jumped forward, hoping for the best. The others did the same, but they could avoid the Poison since they could see. Xavier could also grab someone to be his Scapegoat, who the champion could punish too. For his first jump, Xavier was lucky—although he did not jump to the Castle, he did not jump onto the Poison either. He jumped onto the Apple, which was neither good nor bad.Abby was the shortest there, and unluckily jumped onto the Poison on her first jump. Justin and Renee jumped to the Castle, while Leia, Jeffrey, and Adie jumped to the Apple. Each square was only a meter large, and the Apple square soon became crowded. Both Leia and Jeffrey held their breath in fear of getting caught by Xavier.However, Justin crossed his arms and teased Xavier. "Mr. Stuart, don't you want to make me a Scapegoat? Come at me! I'm reaching out, so it's easy for you to grab me." There was a Poison square between the Castle and Apple squares, so the

Xavier was afraid that Justin might escape, so he tightened his grip, but... something felt wrong. The body in his grasp was soft, and it didn't feel like Justin. In fact, it felt like… However, before he could come to a realization, someone slapped him. "Xavier, you jerk! Just what do you think you're grabbing?" Leia blushed and smoothed her clothes, then slapped Xavier again. "I thought you've changed and become more polite, but it seems you've just become a bigger pervert. You're disgusting!"Stunned, Xavier realized that he had grabbed the wrong person… and the wrong part. Feeling awkward, he tried to explain, "No, I wasn't trying to grab you or that area. It's all a misunderstanding, I swear…" Xavier rubbed his stinging cheeks miserably. "Even if I wanted to be handsy with you, I would have done it in private. I didn't do it on purpose; you have to believe me."Everyone found it amusing, but they were too embarrassed to laugh.Renee turned to Justin and said jokingly, "Did y

Xavier had no choice but to betray his buddy to save himself. "Okay, okay, I'll talk!" Xavier still had his eye mask on, but he looked towards the manor where Stefan was. "As I said, he's nearby… probably within a radius of two kilometers. But as for the identity of the pervert, I'm sure you can find out if you want."Renee looked in the same direction and saw the manor opposite her and that giant French window. The window was draped with thick curtains, which didn't make sense since it was broad daylight. That meant that the pervert was probably hidden in the manor. Renee had no idea if it was her imagination, but as she stared at the window, she felt like someone was staring back at her. Although the window was far away, Renee felt something in her heart stir. Leia looked in the same direction but found nothing out of the ordinary. Confused, she asked Renee, "Ren, what are you staring at? Is there something there? I can't see anything.""No, I'm not staring at anything..." Renee
