The atmosphere suddenly became tense again. Everyone looked at Stefan, waiting for his answer.
The man slowly took a sip of champagne and said meaningfully, “I used to be fearless, but now, what I fear most is
my wife leaving me.”
“Oh no, you really are a hopeless romantic. Show some backbone, Stef!”
Xavier waved his hand. He expected that answer. It did not surprise him at all.
Leia also could not help mocking Stefan. “Can you two please stop taking every opportunity to show how much
you’re in love? It’s making me sick. I don’t even have the appetite for the leg of lamb anymore.”
Renee was calm though. Her beautiful lips curled into a shallow smile. She looked gentle and peaceful, but there
was a trace of coldness in her eyes.
She crossed her legs and wrapped the blanket tighter around her, then said to Stefan, “May I ask you a question?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStefan shrugged and said calmly, “Go ahead.”
“You keep emphasizing that you’re afraid I’d leave you one day. Does that mean, deep down in your heart, you
don’t have much confidence in our love? Or… is there a hidden risk factor between us that I don’t know about?”
Renee’s eyes were as sharp as her question.
“That’s right.”
Stefan did not deny it. “I’m not a forthright person. I have my dark side. If you discover my dark side one day,
maybe you won’t forgive me.”
Stefan said this with a smile that carried a hint of helplessness and bitterness.
As a mortal, he had no control over which direction destiny would bring him.
If Renee discovered his “dark side” one day and could not accept them, she would leave him and there would be
nothing he could do about it.
“Dark side?”
Renee raised her eyebrows but did not pursue the matter. She merely let out a long sigh and said, “It seems like I
still don’t know you well enough.”
The formerly lively campfire feast fell into a long silence, with Stefan and Renee each having their own thoughts.
They were both people who had a lot of secrets.
Xavier could not stand the silence anymore. He clapped his hands and said, “Hey, I thought this was a welcoming
feast ! Why is everyone so serious? Let’s have some fun!”
“That’s right! Let’s have some fun!”
Leia stood up to liven up the mood.
Based on past experiences, whenever both Stefan and Renee fell silent, something big was bound to happen. Leia
was scared!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd so, Xavier and Leia tried hard to liven up the atmosphere. They ended up getting drunk.
Leia proclaimed her love for the moon. Hearing that, Xavier immediately ran towards the sea. He said he wanted to
pick up the moon from the sea to give it to her.
In the end, Xavier ripped the pull tab off a metal can and got down on one knee to propose to Leia.
“Leia, marry me. Neither of us believe in love anyway. Maybe we’re meant for each other!”
Leia blushed profusely and bit her finger. Tears streamed down her cheeks. “I’m so touched. The last man who
proposed to me was a scammer and I almost killed him. If you dare to lie to me, I’ll kill you!”
“Kill me if you want! If it makes you happy, I’ll willingly offer you my head!”
Xavier lowered his head to expose his neck to her.
“You fool, why would I chop off such a handsome face? If you lie to me, I’ll make you a gigolo so that you’ll earn
money for me! Hahaha…”
Leia laughed heartily as she took the pull tab from Xavier and wore it on her ring finger.
“Nice! I have a wife now! I, Xavier Stuart, finally have a wife!”
