Renee held the bedsheet tightly and purposely criticized him to make him regain his wits because she was afraid that he would take liberties with her.
Unfortunately, Stefan's wits helped him see through her trick. He murmured teasingly, "You've got me all wrong. I'm not a gentleman, and I am petty enough to use any means necessary to get what I want. I'd be a fool if I didn't enjoy the grand feast laid out before me." After that, he purposely slid his fingers across her collarbone and unbuttoned the first button of her hospital gown. More of her skin was exposed, and Stefan's gaze darkened with desire.
"Stefan, I'll never forgive you if you don't stop this right now!" Renee exclaimed, her voice high-pitched with panic.
"Weren't we a couple in the past? Although I seem to have forgotten everything about you, we must have been intimate given our relationship. Don't you think you're overreacting?" Stefan said casually, offering her a lazy smirk.
"So what if we were once a couple? Does that give you permission to do whatever you want?" Renee snapped at him, wanting to kick him. Gritting her teeth, she said, "You're going to get married. Can't you be a gentleman, at least for your fiancee's sake?"
Her words instantly killed his excitement, and he straightened his back, scowling at her unhappily. "Why do you care so much about my relationship?"
Renee was dumbfounded by his reasoning. When did this man become so dumb? Clearly, his brain damage was pretty serious.
"Yeah, they're Justin's kids. If not, why would he always stay by my side? Can you stop pestering me now that you've learned about my relationship?" Renee complained, wanting this crazy and foolish man to leave.
