�Okay, I will.� Seeing the tenderness in his eyes made tears roll down Eloise�s cheeks. She felt that people shouldn�t fall in love so easily. In the past, Jovan was a very rational person, but now, he was merely a lovestruck fool who had sacrificed everything for his unrequited love. He had given his heart

entirely to Renee.

Stefan always went to Renee�s ward late at night after that day. Sometimes they argued, sometimes they talked, sometimes they just sat in companionable silence.

Renee eventually got used to his presence, and stopped trying to drive him away. She had even helped Stefan drive other visitors away for fear that he might bump into them. However, some part of her felt disappointed in herself because she had gotten closer to Stefan even though she promised to stay

away from him.

�My lower back still hurts. Once I get better, you�re the first person I�ll drive away.� It was yet another quiet night, and Renee boldly declared her intentions as she munched on the black velvet cake that Stefan had secretly

brought for her.

Coldly, Stefan replied, �You�re all talk and no action. Get well and drive me away quickly then.�

�I won�t let you go that easily�� Renee said fiercely, then sweetly asked, �Is there more cake? I want to have more.�

The deliciously delicate black velvet cake was hard to get because only ten of them were sold daily. Besides, Quinton had been controlling her diet strictly, so it was hard for her to eat desserts.

Stefan had easily discovered this weakness of Renee�s and had easily used it as bait to force her to cover for him.

�Yes, there�s more. Open your mouth.� Smiling, Stefan fished out another cake and spoke to her tenderly.

Renee couldn�t move at all, so Stefan bringing food to her relieved her boredom. She obediently opened her mouth and waited for him to feed her. Although their actions were rather intimate, she felt that it was worth it when she bit into the cake.

�This cake is amazing!� The smooth taste of the cake lingered in her mouth, taking away all her exhaustion and sadness.

�Eat slowly. I�ll buy it for you again tomorrow,� Stefan spoke tenderly to her as if he was coaxing a child as she gobbled the cake up. However, Renee ignored him and eagerly munched on the cake he fed her. Suddenly, she accidentally bit his finger, and Stefan felt electricity surge through his body. Heat

prickled his skin, and he stared at her in shock.

"Ah, sorry. I didn�t mean to bite you, I just�� Renee�s face turned red and she immediately backed away, apologizing to him.

"Do you want more?� Stefan�s eyes had darkened, and his intense gaze was glued to her mouth.

"No, thanks.� Awkward and breathless, Renee couldn�t look at him or the cake. She wanted the ground to open up and swallow her.

�Wipe your mouth if you�re done eating,� Stefan said huskily, staring at a bit of cream on the corner of Renee�s lips. It made her look innocent and seductive, like a kitten who had eaten some stolen food.

"Oh, okay� Hand me a tissue.� Renee licked her lips awkwardly, thinking she must look like a glutton who would do anything for food.

�That�s unnecessary,� Stefan murmured.

�What?� Renee looked at him in confusion.

�You don�t need a tissue paper.� JrNovels.com
