Christopher burst his bubble. �Why does Miss Everheart seem a little upset withyou? Are you blackmailing her?�

�Absolutely not. She simply finds me irresistible,� Stefan said firmly.

This was when Renee walked over with the skewers she had finished roasting. She forced a smile upon her face. �Guys, the food is ready. Can I leave now?�

Xavier was a troublemaker. He looked at Renee. �Renee, Stefan said you find him irresistible and still have feelings for him, which was why you willingly roasted skewers for us. Was he just making it up?�

�No. He�s telling the truth.� Renee smiled at Stefan. �I do find him irresistible. I roasted these skewers for him. They contain the intense feeling of love I have for him. He�s the only one who can eat them. Don�t try to take any from him!� Renee exclaimed.

Stefan wasn�t expecting Renee to be this cooperative. He felt a little giddy. After picking up a skewered chicken wing, he began praising her. �I can tell that you put a lot of effort into roasting this.�

�Of course. Hurry up and give it a taste. Don�t let my hard work go to waste, � Renee urged with a smile on her face.

Stefan giddily took a bite of the chicken wing while his friends observed in envy. After that, an intense spiciness began to spread from the tip of his tongue. It felt like it was being cut by a knife, and it was horrible.

�How does it taste, Stefan? Miss Everheart roasted it with a lot of love. We�re already drooling from just the smell�� Moses, the youngest in the group, asked with an envious look on his face.

�Cough!� Stefan neither chewed nor spoke. It was way too spicy. However, at this point, if he said it tasted awful, it would embarrass him too much.

All these years, his ego had already been hurt enough by Renee�s disappearance. This was especially true when he went searching for her on the deserted island. In the end, he had to beg for help from his family to safely return to Beach City.

His friends had constantly teased him for this.

Now that he finally had an opportunity to claim a small victory, he didn�t want them to find out the truth just yet. Otherwise, his friends would tease him even further!

Therefore, despite how spicy the skewer tasted, he still nodded calmly and elegantly. �She put her heart into it. It certainly is delicious.�

�Is it really that good?� Xavier asked with a frown. Why did Stefan behave as though he was suffering instead of enjoying?

Christopher was more observant. �Stefan, are you alright? Why are you tearing up?�

�It tastes so good that I�m about to cry.� Stefan glanced at Renee with a fake smile. �It�s obvious that Miss Everheart has a burning passion for me!� He uttered through clenched jaws. Renee nearly burst into laughter at how he was trying to keep it together.

�Of course. The spicier it tastes, the more love it contains. Stefan, you�ve got to eat all these skewers because I roasted them just for you!�

�Hahaha!� Renee nearly sprinkled half a can of chili powder on the skewers. If he ate all of them, his lips would certainly swell up like balloons.

She couldn�t help but laugh out loud when she imagined his swollen lips looking like a character in a movie. Moses, being naive as he was, nearly cried from envy. He carefully raised one hand. JrNovels.com
