Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 777

“I didn’t know how to cook in the past, but I took it up. Now, I can cook,” Stefan said.

“You actually took lessons for this? You sure have a lot of time on your hands.”

“How could you say that? Cooking for someone you like brings a lot of joy. I thought you’d have known…” Stefan

smiled vaguely. “I heard you never even cooked before marrying me. Didn’t you train yourself to be a good cook

because of me?”

“Who said that? It’s not true,” Renee refuted unconvincingly.

If she claimed to be the kind who wouldn’t even enter the kitchen, nobody would dare to question her.

She was very different from ordinary girls from a very young age. She didn’t like dolls, pretty dresses, and playing

with dollhouses. Most of all, she disliked going into the kitchen. On the contrary, she enjoyed fighting, guns, coding,

and physical chemistry.

If it weren’t for her attempt to become a ‘qualified’ wife in the Hunt family, she would never have even stepped into

the kitchen. Her only goal in life was to cook food that Stefan liked.

Now that she recalled this, she felt she must have been under a spell. She lost herself, and it was all for a man!

“I even heard that you desired my body and had impure thoughts about me!” Stefan added.

“You’re making things up!” Renee turned around in embarrassment. “I don’t like your appearance at all…”

Only then did she notice that Stefan had already walked into the kitchen. He was right behind her.

They were barely inches apart. She only needed to look up for the top of her head to touch his protruding chin.

“Are you sure you don’t like my appearance?” Stefan asked.

Stefan’s smile grew wider. “If that’s the case, why did you keep stealing glances at me?”

“That’s not true. It’s only a coincidence!” Renee felt hot in her cheeks. She wasn’t being very convincing. “I already

told you that I don’t like your appearance. I like men who look like elegant princes, not cold and aloof like you. Stop

being so self-indulgent.”

“Renee, you’re such a coward. This wasn’t what you said to the kids last night…” Stefan was extremely confident.

He pinched her chin and lifted it up slightly, forcing her to look into his eyes. “Abby told me this morning that you fell

in love with me as soon as you saw my face. How can you say you don’t like my appearance now?”

“Uhm…” Renee felt very awkward. She wished she could dig a hole and hide in it.

‘Abby, you’re a wonderful daughter. You’re so wonderful that you’d betray your own mother. How am I supposed to

face him now?’

“That’s right. I’m vain, and I like handsome guys. So what?” Renee decided to go all out. She stared at his pretty

face and admitted to what she said.

“Does this mean you admit that you’ve desired my body for a long time?” Stefan asked.

“Erk-hem!” Renee’s face turned red.

She did like Stefan, but nowhere nearly to that extent.

Although she’d sometimes fantasize about them kissing in a romantic environment, that was as far as it went. She

wouldn’t fantasize anything beyond that.

Seeing how Renee didn’t speak, Stefan’s smile grew even wider. “Regardless if you desire me or not, I’ve desired

after you for a long time,” Stefan whispered in her ear.

“You’re nuts!” Renee exclaimed with reddened cheeks. She pushed him away and quickly ran away.

Stefan watched her leave. There was a look of authority on his face.

He was like an expert hunter who confidently observed his prey falling into his trap…
