Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 718

It was already afternoon when Renee woke up the next day. She was on a soft large bed that had a relaxing

fragrance emanating from its sheets. She soon realized that it was Stefan’s unique scent.

It was said that a person could identify the scent of someone they loved very much; it wasn’t the smell of their

perfume, but the scent coming from within their very souls. It was likely that Stefan was considered somewhat

important in her heart, which was why Renee could still recognize his unique scent.

“Damn it!” Renee jumped up from the bed as soon as she realized where she was, the shock waking her up in an

instant. She was the only one left in the room at the time, as Stefan seemed to have gone off somewhere already.

“Ugh, how could I have fallen asleep?” Renee slapped herself on the forehead, frustrated that she hadn’t finished

building the Lego set. Furthermore, she just had to end up sleeping in Stefan’s bed.

She could only imagine how Stefan would humiliate her because of this. Not only would she not get the Rainbow

Glaze, she had given the man another opportunity to humiliate her.

‘I really messed up…’ Renee thought miserably and shook her head.

Within just a few minutes, she tidied up and got out of bed. She then noticed the completed version of the X2

spaceship being displayed on the glass shelf, which made her gawk in disbelief.

“Oh my god, it’s finished! Did that guy use some sort of dark magic? This is insane!” Renee remembered that she

barely had one-third of it assembled, and the rest of the blocks had been scattered everywhere. It was simply

unthinkable that he had done this alone.

She then thought to herself, ‘Didn’t Hunt go to bed right after he showered? Did he just randomly wake up in the

middle of the night to continue building this thing? There’s no way he’d pull an all-nighter to finish this though. He’d

be risking not getting enough sleep, and he’d be letting me win. What does he get out of this then?’

Renee was perplexed, but didn’t want to think about it anymore. ‘Ah, whatever, it’s done anyway, so Hunt has to

keep his end of the deal and hand over the Rainbow Glaze. He said he was a man of his word after all!’

As she continued pondering, Renee took her phone out, so that she could ask the man to give her what he

promised. However, before she could dial his number, Stefan’s bedroom door swung open.

“Ren, you’re up.” The person who entered was Timothy, Stefan’s grandfather.

“Uhm, G-Grandpa Timothy!” Renee’s gaze darted to the ground, feeling so awkward that her entire body tensed up.

She hoped the old man wouldn’t misunderstand her relationship with Stefan, but it would be quite hard not to,

especially after seeing her getting out of his bed.

Timothy looked the woman up and down with a serene and knowing smile. “Was that punk rough on you last night,

dear?”

“Nope!”
