MainNovelChapter 279: He Is Ashamed.
The cool breeze blew, making the red light on the cigarette glow brighter. A small puff of smoke drifted out and
touched her nose as she watched him. He was lost in his thoughts, not even aware that she had been standing
beside him all along.
Angela sighed softly. No matter how angry she was, she hated seeing him like this. This was Renn—the lively guy
who could make her heart race even when she didn’t want it to.
"Renn," she called quietly. He turned, surprised to see her. He tried to hide the cigarette in his hand, but it was
too late.
"What's wrong? I've been standing here for a while, and you didn’t even notice me."
"No, I'm fine," Renn said as he placed the bottle on the car beside him. He took one last drag from the cigarette,
then threw it on the ground and crushed it with his foot. Smoke still slipped out from his mouth and nose at the
stime.
Angela shook her head and leaned against the car, her eyes never leaving him. He looked different—distant—
and in his eyes, she saw pain. It hurt her to see him this way. She wondered how long he planned to carry that
pain alone.
"I'm sorry," Renn said quietly. "I didn’t want you to seelike this. | thought you'd be inside with your friends."
"I was supposed to," she replied softly, "but your sadness... it's affecting everyone. You don’t want to talk about
it, do you?"
He didn’t answer. His eyes stayed away from hers, and that was what broke her most. This wasn’t like him.
Usually, he would smile, tease her, maybe pull her close. But now, he just stood there, distant and heavy with
guilt.
"I'm fine, Angela." He gave a fake smile that faded almost instantly.
"Look, something’s wrong," she pressed.
"Really?" he asked, his tone tired.
"Yes, Renn. You never callAngela when we're alone."
He froze, realizing she had noticed. He looked at her, shflickering in his eyes. The weight of his lie pressed
down on him.
"I'm sorry," he whispered. "I'm sorry for everything that happened to you... the kidnap. | could have stopped it,
but I didn’t."
"You think that was your fault?" she asked, her brows furrowed as she stared at him. "It was never your fault
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtunless there's something you're hiding."
"Yes, | am hiding something from you," Renn finally said. His chest felt heavy, like something was pressing down
on it. So many thoughts rushed through his head as he stood in front of his mate. How was he supposed to tell
her that he was Miss Valois’ son, and that he had been lying to her all this time?
"Then tell me, Renn. What are you hiding that’s making you so sad?" Angela asked, her heart beating faster than
normal. She already knew the truth but wanted to hear him say it. If he didn’t, she was going to walk away. "Tell
"Principal Valois is my mother," Renn said suddenly. His hands clenched into fists, his nails digging into his palms
as he waited for her reaction.
Angela nodded slowly and lowered her head. Silence fell between them, thick and heavy. She knew he expected
her to scream, to cry, to ask why he lied. But she didn’t. Maybe that was what growing up felt like...learning
when to hold back and when to let go. Sthings just had to fall away so others could move forward.
"I didn’t want anyone to know. | should have told you," he said, his voice filled with pain.
"Exactly, Renn. You should have toldabout it."
"I was scared that you would react badly," he replied, his voice low.
"So is there any difference right now?" Angela asked, spreading her hands sideways. "I'm not hurting from this?
You should have told me, Renn. Long tago. Maybe | wouldn't have had to find out from your mother."
His eyes widened as he stared at her. He couldn't believe what she just said. Miss Valois had already told her?
How? When? Where? How long had she known the truth?
Renn stood there, shocked and speechless. That woman had destroyed him completely. What was she trying to
gain from this?
"I know you're wondering when or how she told me," Angela said, her voice breaking as her eyes filled with
tears. "It was the day | got kidnapped. She toldbefore sellingoff."
Renn’s lips parted, but no words cout. He wanted to say something—anything—to comfort her or beg for
forgiveness, but his voice failed him. He felt frozen, empty. All this tAngela knew, and he didn’t even realize
it. The way she spoke to him earlier at the dining table, the small cold remarks she made...they all made sense
now.

Silence fell between them. The cool breeze brushed against their heated faces, trying to ease the storm inside
their hearts.
"You said it all, my love. I'm sorry for causing you so much pain," Renn said softly, stepping back. "I don’t
deserve you."
"That's not what I'm saying, Renn," she whispered, her voice trembling.
"I'm sorry for messing things up. For lying to you when | should have told the truth," he said, his tone full of
regret.
Before she could reply, he turned and started walking away. Angela froze for a moment, shocked that he was
leaving just like that. She had been ready to forgive him, so why was he giving up so easily?
‘He is ashamed,” Mighty-Storm told her in her head.
‘Renn!’ Angela called out as she ran after him. He stopped and turned to face her.
