Chapter 1712

The lights in Renee's room were not lit. To her, it didn't matter-it was always dark and stressful.

Jovan sighed softly and gently turned on the lights.

Renee was not asleep. When she heard someone switch on the lights and approach, she could tell by the heavy

footsteps that it was Jovan. She remained lying on her side and said grumpily, "Jovan, I'm your sister-in-law, and

besides, men and women should keep a polite distance. Isn't it inappropriate for you to cinto my room late

at night?" "I've already done so many inappropriate things, so it doesn't matter anyway," Jovan joked as he

placed the tray on the nightstand and pulled a chair over to sit near Renee's bed. He tried to persuade her

patiently, "I heard from Lisa that you neither ate nor drank today. It's very silly of you to punishlike this since

you'll be the one suffering in the end. Be good and eat, then you can beatup or scold me. That way, you can

vent your anger and feel better. Wouldn't it be killing two birds with one stone?"

Renee kept her back to Jovan and didn't move. "Take the tray away; I'm not going to eat anything. I'm not

punishing you either. | just want to go on a hunger strike and die so | won't be at your mercy." It wasn't known if

she had said those words to infuriate Jovan or if she actually meant it, but it was infuriating and pitiful.

Jovan clenched his fists and tried to calm himself, taking a while to suppress his anger. Taking a deep breath, he

said lightly, "There are a lot of ways for you to kill yourself if you want to die. For example, you can eat so much

that you die from it, or you can sleep so much that you die in comfort, or you can scoldevery day until you

die of contentment. Anything is better than dying from a hunger strike! Don't you know that people who die of

hunger are the least prestigious among the spirits?"

Renee was intrigued by this statement and asked, "Why's that?" "It's because they are the weakest. People who

hang themselves to death have deep resentment, and people who drown becsoaked and large. People who

jump off buildings to kill themselves are the fiercest... Only the people who die of hunger will get bullied after

death because they don't have enough to eat," Jovan explained seriously, making Renee smile in amusement.

Jovan sighed in relief and hurriedly handed her a piece of dessert. "It makes sense, right? So, eat more and smile

more so you can beca smiling spirit. That's the best thing you can be in hell. How great would that be?"

"Shut up. I'll eat, okay?" After starving for a day, Renee's belly was growling. She felt like giving up on her hunger

strike the moment Jovan cin with the supper, but didn't want to admit defeat out of pride. She wanted to go

through with it for at least a day. However, Jovan's spirit theory made her give in. Renee felt that she might as

well eat well instead of becoming a weak and hungry spirit. If she found any spirit an eyesore in hell, she could

at least fight them. After all, she would be more powerful if she ate more.

Renee accepted the cake and started munching on it. "Mm, it's nice." "Of course, Lisa made it based on your

taste preference. She didn't add any preservatives or flavoring either, so it's both tasty and nutritious." Jovan

was happy that Renee was enjoying her food.

"Lisa is a good woman, and you're the only one she cares about. You should try dating Lisa instead of getting

involved with a vicious woman like Briar. Don't let her down." While eating, Renee tried to persuade Jovan

earnestly.
