In a desperate attempt to stop her from walking away, Stefan stretched his leg out to block her path, and grabbed her tiny shoulders with both of his hands.
"Don't you have anything to tell me?" He asked meaningfully.
"Is this a joke? What would I have to tell you?" She glared at the big hands on her shoulders and warned him in an icy tone, "Let me go!"
Stefan gazed into Renee's eyes as he asked her, "I hid the truth from you because the situation forced me to, but what about you? Don't tell me you're not hiding anything from me!"
"What…" Renee was starting to feel unsettled. "What are you talking about?"
"You know what I'm talking about… In your eyes, I'm the stupid one, aren't I? You hid in a corner where I couldn't see you, and you laughed at me for years, didn't you?"
Stefan's grip on Renee's shoulders unconsciously tightened, and his calm expression now gave way to a mixture of anger, pain, and helplessness… as if he was powerless against the woman in front of him!
Renee was completely perplexed. She was not sure what the guy had found out, but she knew for certain that she must never let him find out about their children, or else there would be a million troubles ahead.
Renee's eyes narrowed, and she growled, "Don't try to turn the tables on me, Stefan Hunt! You know damn well that when we were married, I was always loyal to you and never hid anything from you. It was you who snuck out and had an affair with someone else, but now you're accusing me of hiding something? Don't you have a conscience?"
"Shut your mouth, Jovan! If you say one more word, I swear to God I'll tear your mouth apart!" Renee was petrified that this lunatic might expose all her secrets, and she straightened her spine, prepared to send him flying with a kick as she warned him, "Haven't you learned enough lessons today? Do you need me to teach you another one?!"
Stefan let go of Renee and turned to Jovan. With a frosty gaze, he barked, "Speak up!"
"If you insist," said Jovan with a lazy grin. "But remember that you wanted me to say it yourself, so don't blame me if your heart breaks once you learn the truth! I just want to make amends for what I've done and show you my sincerity…"
Jovan cleared his throat, acting as if he was about to reveal an earth-shattering secret.
