Chapter 90: A Confession
It was a steady expression.
Contrary to his calm demeanor, Stefan’s heartbeat was racing.
Irene’s lips curved into a smile.
Her smile deepened as she watched a mosquito gently land on Stefan’s face.
Stefan began, “Miss Irene, ever since the first time L…”
”
“Thave alway!..
Stefan’s expression cracked.
He desperately wanted to swat away the mosquito that was eyeing his blood, but doing so would in the moment.
Irene couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Stefan’s face immediately darkened, full of embarrassment. He fomed his head, looking stubbom and sexy..
In Stefan’s mind, he had already killed that mosquito disturbing his confession a thousand times over with an AK
Irene raised her hand, grabbed Stefan’s hand, and led him into her room.
Madame Kashi, watching from the kitchen, smiled.
This was a mysterious and seductive place.
Think about it: this is the zoom of the girl you love!
Stefan discreetly glanced around. Just as he was about to say something, Irene pulled his head down and planted a kiss on his cheek
Stetan barely finished his sentence, “Grandma agreed.”
Jene’s smile widened.
Stefan looked slightly dazed, as if he was a bit drunk tiene pushed him out of the room, standing at the door with her ams crossed, smiling brightly.
Stefan knew that something had changed.
He cleared his thrat lightly, his tone calm, “Thave to say, dear Miss Irene, your taste when you were young wasn’t very good.”
Irene looked at Stefan, raising her eyebrows..
Stefan glanced at Irene, then quicidy bamed his game to a poster of her younger self on the wall, “But your caste now is excellent “
Irene Binally understood what he was talking about.
She laughed, half exasperated and half delighted, “Let me guess, what did Grandma talk to you about?
Stefan’s fingers entwined with Irene’s hair, trene raised her beautiful eyes to look at him, speaking leisurely, “Let me tell you directly. Grandma told me that you’re about to take your college entrance exams, so your main focus should be on improving your grades”
Irene squinted hereyes
Just as she was about to retaliate, Madame Kashi walked over with a smile, “Stefan is right. You should focus on improving your grades.
Irene raised an eyebrow, tuming to look at Stefan
Oh, seriously?
stefan smiled and looked at Madame Kashi, speaking with a hint of suggestion, “Grandma, perhaps I could help Irene with her studies. I got straight A’s in high school and received the highest level scholarship.”
Madame Kashi laughed, “That’s wonderful, trene, if you study with Stefan, you’ll definitely improve your grades”
Stefan naturally enveloped frene’s soft fist in his palm, their body heat mingling, “Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll make sure Irene’s grades improve.”
Tene glanced at her hand being held, but didn’t move, her expression softening a bit.
She lightly brushed Stefan’s palm with her lingers,
Then she laughed, as beautiful as a Greek goddess descending to the mortal world, dazzling and irresistible.
Stefan’s Adam’s apple bobbed, a certain thirst making him feel slightly out of control
Harperstood nearby, stunned.
He glanced at the evenly matched couple, then at the calm, indifferent old lady, feeling like he was the only one overreacting.
Harper swore to the heavens that he had never seen his boss treat anyone like this.
However, he thought, ferne probably hadn’t seen the other side of his boss.
Whenever his boss dealt with traitors, even they found the methods somewhat cruel.
The blood–stained faces that glared coldly and bloodthirstily in different settings kept flashing through Harper’s mind, making him dizzy.
Chapter A Confection
Is this really the same person standing in front of me now?
Isn’t it some land of split personality?
To them, their boss was a good boss, generous with bonuses and benefits.
But the punishment for traitors and mistakes was also severe.
No one had ever gotten close to their boss.
Harper had followed Stefan for so many years and was sure even Marta didn’t losow this side of him,
This time, Irene kicked Stefan out of the house.
It was already ten o’clock at night.
If he didn’t leave now, it wouldn’t be appropriate.
stefan understood this, but couldn’t help feeling immense regret until he fell a paper bag being placed in his ha
Irene laughed lightly, “Take this back and look at it. I made it myself when I was fifteen.”
Stefan’s heart softened.
He walked over and embraced trene deeply.
Neither of them spoke, quietly feeling each other’s warmth and presence.
hand.
Stefan inhaled the scent of Irene’s hair, whispering in her ear, “What happened to you before? How long did it last?”
Irene patted Stefan’s back, pulling away a bit, “just a headache.
Stefan studied her expression, asking, “Do you get headaches every time you’re agitated or angry?”
He moved closer, holding her wrist, enveloping her completely..
Irene looked up slowly, seemingly at a disadvantage but unflustered, smiling. “Yes, why? Do you know a doctor you can refer me to?”
Stefan caressed her wrist, his fingers pressing slightly, “You might not know this, but it’s not a physiological illness. It’s a physical manifestation triggered by psychological factors. I studied psychology. I can’t be sure of many things, but this, I’m a hundred percent certain of.”
Irene looked at Stefan, her fingers tugging at his collar, “So, doctor, how do you plan to treat me?”
Stefan frowned slightly, removing Irene’s hand, and said in a low voice, “I’m talking about something serious. You should meditate more. If you want to deal with someone, tell me, and I’ll handle it.”
Irene felt a mix of irritation, touch, and an unidentifiable impatience.
She hadn’t felt this way in a long time.
If free had described her feelings to a professional psychologist at that moment, she would have received a clear answer. “It’s because you didn’t get the protection you deserved when you were helpless as a child.”
Irene looked at Stefan
He had no idea who he was dealing with.
If he knew he had fallen in love with the leader of the Scorpion Mercenary Group, would he be scared to tears?
It’s like a delicious little dessert, coming to you voluntarily, revealing its sweet filling, and saying, “Come on ‘
