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 explanation 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 placed 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 plain. 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.

Stefan looked at Renee and asked casually, �So, what are your plans?� JrNovels.com
