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 ce 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.”


    ‘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


    handcrafted pasta. One bowl of this will surely bring warmth to one’s heart and soul! Feel free to order


    some more if you’re up for it!”


    The waiter had finally served their food, and his enthusiastic exnation 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 ced 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 in. 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.
