"Of course you can't do that." Rebee smiled. Despite the latter's anxiety, she looked mischievously at Quinton." So, I came up with a win-win solution. She's made up her mind to stay."

"What do you mean?" Quinton found it incredulous. "She's stubborn, even more than you sometimes. What method did you use to persuade her?"

"Do you know her biggest regret?" Renee asked Quinton calmly.

Quinton hung his head low and looked at his feet. After a long silence, he replied somberly, "I guess it's the fact that she can never be a mother."

He couldn't forget about that incident, let alone Joanne.

In the past, he and Joanne sought warmth from each other. They regarded each other as their most important person, and were willing to fight the entire world to keep each other from getting hurt.

But at the moment, they were the ones who had harmed each other the most. They cherished and valued each other so much that they knew each other's sore spots. Naturally, they could inflict the greatest harm on each other.

Even so, Quinton didn't regret the decision he made back then. He would never let Joanne give birth to that bastard. If he allowed the child to come into this world, both his and Joanne's life would be ruined. The child would live in endless shame and darkness.

"Uh, that's one of them. Feeling awkward, Renee immediately avoided that serious topic. 'Make another guess. There's something else."

She knew the biggest obstacle between Quinton and Joanne was the aborted child, so she tried her best to avoid talking about that.

When she brought that topic up, Quinton would become agitated. She would also easily lose control of herself. In the end, she would become a judge who criticized him and they would part in bad terms.

As a woman, she found him a cruel and crazy beast and wished she could beat him up.

But as his sister, she knew of his pathetic and cruel childhood. When she thought of his pathological mindset, she felt sorry for him.

Thus, she regarded his past self as a crazy patient. All she wanted to do was slowly cure him and try to pull him out of his extremity.

"Something else?" Quinton frowned. After a long pause, he sneered, "Does she want to marry Stefan? Too bad it's not written in the stars for them. There's even an eyesore like me between them."

"You're very imaginative," Renee said, helpless. "Well, she doesn't like Stefan. She's only very grateful toward him. Maybe she's closer to me than to him. Do you believe that?"

"No, I don't," Quinton rudely denied Renee's statement. "You don't know her. She said those things just to fool you, so you wouldn't see her as an enemy. She's not as simple as you think. If not, she wouldn't be able to fool me back then...

"No woman would risk their life for a man they don't love. She betrayed me to make herself look good and successfully helped Stefan put me down. Do you honestly think she doesn't like him?"

When he brought up that affair, he gnashed his teeth and clenched his fists.
