Leia looked at Renee. She thought Renee must be really touched too, like she was. She was half expecting pink bubbles to pop up around Renee. After all, no woman in the world could resist sweet words from the man she loved, right?!

But surprisingly, Renee seemed puzzled instead. She kindly reminded Stefan, �Your nose will grow out if you lie.�

Stefan: ����

Leia: ����

Renee was worried that Stefan�s ego might be bruised, so she softened her attitude and, like a mother coaxing a rebellious son, said, �The moon always wanes after it becomes full. Sometimes, it�s a bad omen to make empty promises too early. I�m just worried that we might be disappointed. That�s why I�m planning for the future.�

�You mean you�ve been thinking of a �future� with me?�

�Of course!�

Renee held the handsome man�s face and teased him, �If I don�t plan to have a long-term relationship with you, why would I waste my time? Look at you. Your face becomes tense so easily. It�s not handsome anymore. Come on, smile for me. I love your smile. It captivates me every time.�

�Stop being glib with me. I warn you, if you dare leave me, I�ll break your leg.�

Stefan�s tone was still cool and arrogant, but his mood had obviously improved, and he could not help but smile.

�I know, I know. Hurry up and make dinner already. Leia�s starving!�

�Fine. Xavier is roasting a leg of lamb. It should be done soon. Let�s head over there.�

After that, he gave Renee a possessive kiss and went away to prepare dinner.

Leia watched everything with wide eyes. She remained shocked for a long time.

�T-That�s it?�

She gulped hard and asked, �Renee, what did you do? How did you tame the legendary giant iceberg who�s used to being in control? I was ready for him to erupt, but his rage subsided so easily and he�s even making dinner for us! He�s become a model husband!�

�I don�t know��

Renee shrugged and let out a long sigh. �It�s probably karma. It�s like he became who I used to be.�

They set up the welcoming feast on a beach on the west side of Sun Island. The beach was flat and vast, with soft, fine sand. Because it was well above sea level, it was basically not affected by high tides. It had always been the best gathering spot on the island.

A campfire and a barbecue grill had been set up on the beach. A huge lamb leg was on the grill, ready for consumption. It was sizzling and dripping oil. The aroma was very tempting. JrNovels.com
