Stefan scratched the back of his head awkwardly before nodding.

Knowing how popular the lad is among women, she didn't want him to run into any of his flings.

"So...should I go?" Stefan inquired, noting her dazed expression.

"Hmm, but make sure you stay away from girls or you will be forbidden to enter my house," she threatened, allowing him to depart.
