Chapter 236
Seeing how she wasn’t replying, Stefan felt slightly annoyed and muttered coldly, "It's fine, I have other
things to do anyway."
"No! I'm free!" Renee instantly blurted out, then inwardly kicked herself for being too eager.
She awkwardly brushed her hair to the side of her face and stammered, "I mean... I'm actually really
busy, but it's not like I don't have time for supper...
Stefan felt rather amused with her bashful attitude, smiling to himself as he thought, 'She's actually kind
of cute when she's like this.'
The two exited the cinema and headed straight to a famous place known fortheir street food.
"What would you like?" Stefan turned around, asking the woman standing behind him.
"Anything, just make sure it's not too savory."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'Did I hear you right?" Stefan frowned. "I thought you used to love savory foods. What changed?"
Renee naturally couldn't tell him that she was pregnant and had to monitor her diet, so she replied
casually, ’People change all the time. What's so weird about changing taste when people can change
their partners?"
She was obviously trying to describe her feelings towards the man right now.
However, Stefan did not bother to continue the topic, pointing towards a nicely furnished restaurant.
"Then we can have some minestrone soup. It's not that savory, and it's good for digestion too."
Renee nodded. "That does sound nice."
The weather was rather breezy, after all, so it would be nice to warm up with a fresh bowl of minestrone
soup.
The two then proceeded to choose a seat next to the window, sitting opposite each other. None of them
spoke for quite some time, which made the atmosphere a little awkward.
"Umm... Would you like to have anything else? Maybe some milk tea?" Stefan broke the silence,
showing rare gentlemanly behavior.
Renee waved dismissively, speaking politely. "No need. I ordered soup anyway, drinking too much
liquid might be bad for my stomach."
’Yeah, you're right."
After that was yet another few moments of awkward silence. The two seemed like a teenage couple
who had just started dating, hiding their true feelings by acting exceedingly polite to one another.
Renee had never thought she would ever have a peaceful meal with Stefan. It was even stranger how
he was being so thoughtful to her, as if he was her boyfriend. She had never once dared to dream of
his kindness during their marriage, yet he expressed it so easily after their divorce.
In a way, it was rather ironic to experience all this.
'Here's your freshly made minestrone soup, made with the finest vegetables, along with our specially

some more if you're up for it!"
The waiter had finally served their food, and his enthusiastic explanation of the dish was somehow able
to ease Stefan and Renee's tension.
He lifted the lids on the bowls of soup, and a gust of steam and an enticing aroma emerged from the
bowls. The waiter then placed the bowls in front of them, smiling before leaving their table. "Bon
appetit! You won't be disappointed, I promise."
Renee quickly tried the soup, and her eyes soon widened with surprise." Ah! Oh my gosh, this is
amazing!" After that, she even started drinking from the bowl.
Stefan took a small sip as well, but found the dish rather plain. However, seeing how happy Renee
was, he didn't intend to spoil her mood by saying so.
With that, the two seemed to have bonded through the meal.
