Chapter 1973

Renee didn't want to pressure Quinton to get married, but she could tell that he was lonely. He needed someone who could understand him and stay with him. The longer he stayed like this, the more he would regret it. The first half of his life had been torturous, and Renee didn't want to see him spend the rest of his life alone.

"It's nice to have a companion, but the problem is..." Quinton shook his head helplessly. "I'm mentally ill and flawed, so I'd better not burden others. It's fine if I enjoy the moonlight alone. I don't think it's sad." He had gotten used to being lonely, and had anticipated spending his life alone.

"How could you say that about yourself?" Renee frowned. "I think everyone is mentally sick one way or another, and sickness can be cured. You were living a gloomy life in the past, but you've left that behind now. Once you face the sunlight, you'll naturally become brighter. You're not mentally ill or flawed!" Renee hated Quinton's pessimism. His life was still long. Since Renee could give up that torturous romance and try to pursue a new one, she believed that Quinton could do it too. After a brief pause, she confessed, "Actually, I met someone a few days ago. I think she's special to you."

"Who was it?" Quinton's calm facade cracked a little. He could roughly guess who she had met, but he felt it was unlikely given how much she hated him. She would have never met his sister.

"I think you must have guessed it. It was Joanne," Renee whispered.

Quinton flexed his fingers but tried to keep his expression nonchalant. "Why would she meet you?"

"She was reluctant at first, but I waited until she came." Renee smiled fondly. She sincerely liked Joanne. "She's an elementary school teacher at the moment, leading a calm and peaceful life."

"Really?" Quinton added coldly, "It looks like Stefan takes good care of her. No wonder she's so loyal to him."

"There you go again, Quinton! It's not like that between them. I can vouch for it!" Renee sighed. Every time she asked Stefan, he would firmly deny it. She knew Stefan well-if he was seeing Joanne, he would openly admit to it.

*Joanne sought refuge with Stefan and betrayed you because of something else." Renee saw the change in Quinton's expression, and added meaningfully, "I think you should know that. If not... why don't you ask her about it?"
