Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 711

She knew that Stefan had loved Lego blocks since he was young, so whenever she saw a special edition set, she

would immediately buy it for him under the guise of being his ‘homie’. Every time she watched Stefan open up his

present like a little kid on Christmas, she felt extremely happy.

The X2 spaceship model on his glass shelf was also a gift from her. Seeing the man build and place her gift on the

most eye-catching spot in his room, she figured she must be somewhat important to him. This belief made her love

for him grow even stronger.

Stefan took out the tens of thousands of blocks and sat down on the floor with his legs crossed. He looked quite

excited to start assembling it.

Seraphina sat down as well, hugging Stefan from behind and placing her chin on his shoulder. She asked him

cheekily, “If you like my gift this much, shouldn’t you give me a reward in return?”

Stefan didn’t look up from the blocks, but said generously, “What do you want? I’ll give you anything.”

“What if I said I wanted you?” Seraphina gathered her courage and carefully tested the waters.

Stefan frowned, visibly confused as he turned around to look at the woman. He placed his hand on her forehead

and asked, “Are you sick or something?”

“Hahaha, there’s no need to be so tense. I only see you as a bro, my guy. I’m just asking you since my family is

urging me to get married. I can’t think of any other way, so I was hoping you could help a bro out!” Seraphina still

didn’t want to reveal her true intentions, and tried to play it off as a joke.

“Why me?” Stefan asked casually, raising an eyebrow.

“Look, we’re both single, and we’re at the age of marriage. Also, we’re childhood friends, so we know each other

well and our backgrounds are similar. Our families are urging us to get married anyway, so why don’t we just do it

to shut them up?” Seraphina said excitedly, as if she was talking about some kind of grand business project.

Stefan was facing the bed at the time, with his slender fingers randomly putting the small blocks together. He

wondered what Renee’s expression was like after hearing that, especially since she was currently hiding under his

bed.

“Sounds good!” Stefan said heartily, not rejecting Seraphina. “Marriage is just a legal matter anyway, so it doesn’t

matter who I do it with. So why wouldn’t I marry someone I don’t hate, not to mention someone I know well?”

Renee’s expression instantly turned icy. For some reason, Stefan’s words disappointed her. She had been through

marriage, and it was exactly as he said. No matter the person, all that was left at the end of a marriage was just

the urge to strangle each other to death.

If she had another chance to choose, she would definitely stop herself from marrying for the so-called ‘love’ she

longed for. She believed Stefan had understood this from the start, which explained his hostility during their entire

marriage.

Hence, choosing to marry Seraphina was the most practical decision he could make. He wasn’t wrong for choosing

this option, but it made Renee resent him, and she didn’t quite understand why.

‘I don’t get it at all! This is so frustrating!’ She thought.

“Oh my god, dude, really? You really think it’s a good idea to get married?” Seraphina was so excited that she was

starting to stumble over her words, and she hugged the man tightly.
