And just like that, the twins successfully baked a cake for Stefan, which they
then presented before him.
“Uncle Handsome,” Abby called with a sweet smile. “This is your first time
visiting our house, so we specially made this cake for you to welcome you here.
You must eat the whole cake! You don’t want to waste our efforts, do you?”
“No problem,” Stefan promised. “I have a bit of a sweet tooth anyway.”
He then took a spoonful of the cake along with the icing and put it in his mouth.
It was sweet, fluffy, and creamy—every bit as heavenly as a cake made by a
professional bakery. He continued to eat mouthful after mouthful, finding himself
enjoying more with every bite.
Enter title…
But then, the more he ate, the heavier his eyelids felt, until eventually, his whole
body slumped onto the couch…
…
After leaving Azure Group, Renee headed towards Celestial Pavillion by
following the address given to her by Rubio Pascal. The place was one of the
most exclusive restaurants in Beach City, where the food and the reputation
were both first-class.
“Good evening,” a waiter greeted Renee when she arrived. It seemed that her
arrival had been anticipated when he added, “May I ask if you are Ms. Renee
Everheart? A gentleman has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow
me.”
“Yes,” Renee nodded, “I am Renee Everheart.”
She then followed the waiter as he enthusiastically led her to the most luxurious
private lounge in the restaurant. She spent the whole journey wondering who
this “legendary god” could be. Who would be so badass that even Rubio Pascal
would be impressed? And why did this person specifically ask to see her?
“Here it is, Ms. Everheart.”
The waiter pushed open the tall magnificent door, revealing the well-built figure
of a man who was standing with his back facing the door in front of the window
where bright lights were streaming in. As soon as he heard her arrival, he turned
around, holding a glass of red wine in one hand.
“We finally meet again,” he said with a smile on his lips.
After taking a good look at the man’s handsome face, she was speechless. She
was barely able to restrain herself from beating the man up right then and there.
“Are you out of your mind, Haze?! So the person who’s been tormenting me,
pushing me around from behind the scene as if I’m an idiot, was you?!”
Initially, Haze had been like the cool and handsome protagonist in a drama, but
now he turned out to be the abominable villain who deserved a good beating.
“Are you surprised to see me?” he asked with a sly smile. “Are you shocked?
Don’t you think I look pretty cool appearing like that just now?”
“I think you need to get punched once or twice!” Renee yelled through gritted
teeth.
She thought of how she scrambled all over the place doing everything she could
to get the Everheart Residence back, how she even lowered her pride and
stooped as low as begging for the Rainbow Glaze from Stefan Hunt, and it
turned out that Haze was behind all of this. It made her really want to… stab the
man!
“I did give you a hint,” Haze argued with an innocent face, his arms stretched
out helplessly. “I told you that you would need me someday. It was you who
completely disregarded me. I’ve been waiting for you to come to me, asking for
my help, but… you insisted on doing everything yourself.”
“Stop talking nonsense!” Renee was not in the mood to chat with Haze. She just
wanted to solve this tricky problem as soon as possible, so she asked him
bluntly, “Just tell me now, what do I need to do to get you to transfer the rights to
land to me?”
“If I tell you,” Haze smiled impishly, “are you going to do absolutely everything I
want without question?”
If he had known that it took some “shameless” tricks to pursue a woman, he
would not have been such a gentleman in the past and wasted so much of their
time
