Jovan�s expression turned cold. �What is there to understand? I told you, it�s true love.�

�If it really is true love, shouldn�t they have been dating long ago? They didn�t have to wait till now. I think Stefan and Murphy must have made some kind of deal, and they�re hiding it from me.�

�So what if that�s the case?� Jovan chuckled frostily. �No matter what the reason is, he still chose to hurt you. That�s unforgivable in itself.�

�What if he was just trying to protect me?� Renee hit the nail on the head, and Jovan stayed silent.

�See? I�m right! He only hurt me because he wants to protect me!� Renee chirped, her gloominess replaced with joy.

She then tried to get more information out of Jovan. �You must know something, right? Can�t you tell me?�

�I don�t know anything, so stop asking.� Jovan scowled, focusing on his meal instead.

Scarlet then brought them another plate of fresh, thinly sliced meat. Cook the meat in the hot broth, then dipping it into some sauce made it an absolute delicacy.

The man was quite frustrated, but� �Some good hotpot is all you need to solve any problems in life! If I�m still unhappy after this plate of meat, I�ll just order some more!�

�Jovan, don�t just eat! You must know something, so please tell me!� Renee grabbed the man�s wrist, pleading.

Jovan stared at Renee�s hand, not saying anything for a few minutes. After that, he said cryptically, �That�s right, I do know all about it.�

After all, he didn�t just know the entire story, he was the one behind all of it.

�Really? Tell me! Tell me now!� Renee exclaimed excitedly.

�I can tell you, but you�ll have to promise me something first�� Jovan started grinning as if he were the devil himself.

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 cancel 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 long 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. JrNovels.com
