Renee was slightly speechless upon hearing this. ‘Is this guy copying me? I just had Akio
Higashino do me a favor, and this punk here is trying to make me do the same? This is

basically just canceling out what I got!’
“What would you like me to do? It has to be reasonable though. I won’t promise you
anything that crosses the line!” Renee pondered and decided to compromise.
‘My, my Stefan. I’m compromising so much that my boundaries are basically non existent!’
“Don’t be so nervous, it’s not like I’m going to force you to do something you don’t like. Do I
look like that type of person?”
“Yeah, you do. Every time you go nuts, you’re far from a good person. Heck, you don’t even
act human when that happens!” Renee said. She hadn’t forgotten how terrifying the man
was when he was in a crazed state.
It wasn’t even a far stretch to call him a savage animal at those times. Now they were
temporarily on the same boat, and could work in peace for the time being. However, that
didn’t mean she had accepted him as a person.
Jovan sighed helplessly. “Looks like I’m not going to change your perception of me, but I
really don’t intend to do anything bad today…”
“Just spit it out, what do you want from me?”
“Nothing much, I just want you to stop overthinking and have a nice meal with me,” Jovan
said casually as he placed a piece of meat dipped in sesame sauce into Renee’s bowl. He
did seem genuine as he gestured at her to eat it. “Have a taste, it’s really good.”
“Uh, is that it?”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
“Alright, I’ll try it out.” Renee finally picked up a pair of chopsticks and took a bite. This was
her first bite of food tonight, and soon she felt surprise filling her, as if she had found new
land.
It was delicious!
“Oh wow, this… this is so good! How could it be so juicy and savory? This is the best meat
I’ve ever had!” Renee excitedly grabbed another piece, placing it in the boiling hot broth with
the fragrant steam attacking their senses.
“Lamb innards taste great in hotpot, you know? And eating this with beer can make you feel
like you’re in paradise!” Jovan was happy with Renee’s reaction. He even started
recommending her the best way to enjoy it like he was an expert.
“Oh, this is so good! I’m going to cry!” Renee couldn’t stop at this point, switching between
the meat and beer. She didn’t even have the time to talk, and naturally forgot all about the
trivial matters regarding Stefan.
“I told you so, some good hotpot is all you need to solve any problems in life! If one meal
can’t help, have two!” Jovan watched the woman scarf down the food, his lips curving
upwards as his eyes were filled with affection.
“Humans are still animals after all. Once you’ve satiated your hunger, everything else
doesn’t matter all that much.”
“I didn’t expect you to have a deep side, you know. Looks like you’re not a total mess! I
agree with your statement completely, those are some pretty wise words.” Renee sipped on
her beer, feeling an innate happiness deep inside her.
Humans had very basic needs after all, any other problems were just created by
themselves, most likely from overthinking when they couldn’t move on from certain
situations.
“Good to know that you agree then. Come on, let’s eat and drink to our heart’s content! I’ll
be right here with you.” Jovan said enthusiastically.
When Scarlet brought another few plates of meat and innards, the two quickly devoured
everything on those three plates, all while drinking twelve glasses of beer each.
In the end, they started feeling quite tipsy.
