Chapter 1109

Penulis: Mizuki Sei
"Ahem!" Renee took a few steps backward, letting out a few dry coughs as well. "Sir, you don't have to be so awkward, you know? Did you get water in your brain when you dived into the lake?"

"Don't change the subject. Just say yes or no." The man spoke as if he were an experienced hunter, not giving her the slightest chance to back out, as if he were trying to peer through the depths of her heart.

"Yeah, yeah…" Renee took a deep breath and averted the man's deep gaze. She started spewing a bunch of nonsense instead.

"Oh, Sir, my admiration for you is like a tsunami, whose waves fill my heart with love as they crash on the shore! I simply cannot wait to appear before you with a bouquet of flowers, where I can finally worship you for the beauty that you are! You have truly seduced me, oh my Prince Charming!"

Stefan was silent.

Renee continued. "Are you happy now? You don't have to act out the dominant CEO trope anymore. It's just so awkward!"

The man was even more confused now.

  • The Untouchable Ex-Wife   Chapter 1110

    Since Jovan couldn't see, she behaved more comfortable around him."Then why change clothes?" Jovan's expression seemed uneasy as he pursued the question. "Well… Because my clothes were dirty." Renee told a white lie, not revealing her encounter with Stefan. Otherwise, being the jealous prick he was, Jovan would certainly overthink. "You're lying." Jovan frowned, obviously aggravated. "You said that you would never lie to me, but now you're treating me like a fool!"Renee realized that the man must know something. After all, many people came and went from the hospital. Being an old acquaintance there, it was inevitable that someone would end up telling him some kind of information."You say I lied to you, then tell me, what did I lie to you about?" the woman asked carefully."Dr. David told me about the drowning incident around the lake. You jumped to save a life, so you're changing because your clothes are wet, not that they're dirty!" Jovan replied seriously.Renee felt reli

  • The Untouchable Ex-Wife   Chapter 1111

    When Renee held the documents and went through the formalities to help Jovan transfer to another hospital, Jovan's attending doctor, David, was very surprised. "Joan, why do you suddenly want to transfer Van to another hospital? He's now in the critical period of his recovery, and he can't endure the stress of moving to another hospital." David was one of the doctors with the most medical experience in the surrounding cities. Besides, he was amiable, humble, and responsible. When they first arrived at that town, they came because of David's medical skills, not to mention he was also the one treating Jovan's illness. Hence, they established a very good friendship."There's a special condition, so we need to leave for a while for the time being. When the time is right, we'll come back again."Renee gave David a rough explanation because she could not go into the details. "If you want to transfer to another hospital, you'll have to change his attending doctor. You're aware that

    Based on his understanding of her, she would never leave if it was not an extremely urgent affair. She upheld a carefree and laid-back lifestyle. It might be a very dangerous affair if she were to become so restless with anxiety out of the blue."It's because… If we don't go home now, my sunflowers will wither. Can't you see why I'm in such a hurry?""Hmph! What a good reason! Do you think I believe that?"Jovan did not even bother to complain about that. He stated solemnly, "You even promised me just now that you'll tell me right away if anything happens to you. You won't lie to me. Are you trying to break your promise now?" "Ah. Life is already hard enough. Please don't expose my lie. It's hard to talk about this now. I'll explain to you in detail when we're home."While comforting Jovan, Renee waited for the elevator.Ding! The door of the elevator opened. Coincidentally, the person she was trying to avoid stood right in the middle of the elevator. It was Stefan.They lo

    "It's late now. I want to rest. If you want to know, come to me early tomorrow morning. I'll tell you everything."I'm sleepy. Push me back," Jovan asked Renee."Okay." Renee nodded very obediently. Watching their backs disappear from his sight; displeasure crept up Stefan's heart.They were so harmonious and warm together, as an old married couple would. In comparison, he looked like an unreasonable maniac. 'What happened? Who can tell me? What the hell happened?'I think I'm going mad!' Without turning around, Renee pushed Jovan back to his original ward. She tucked him in after quietly making the bed and helping him back on it. She was quiet the entire time, with her chest stuffed with complicated feelings.Finally, she still failed to avoid him. It might be their fates. It was destined that the simple incident would become complicated. The calm surface of the lake would be attacked by billowing waves. Jovan leaned against the head of the bed. His handsome face was

    Unexpectedly, she saw Stefan leaning against the wall outside the ward as soon as she opened the door. The incandescent lamp in the corridor hit him, casting a long shadow on the floor.Wearing a cold face, she kept quiet and was about to close the door when…"Let's have a chat."He looked up and suggested with a hoarse voice."We have nothing more to talk about.""If you thought so, you won't open the door at this hour." Renee was struck speechless.For a moment, she found it hard to give a reply.'Yeah, I tossed and turned in bed because there are too many things in my heart. I couldn't fall asleep. If I don't sort these things out, I'll be restless for a very long time.""Fine. Let's talk."After agreeing, they took the elevator to the rooftop.The rooftop had a great atmosphere. It was a cafe with an outdoor dome, where one could see the brightest stars. Renee casually sat down and looked up at the twinkling stars. She did not speak for a long time.Stefan stayed wit

    Renee inevitably became nervous under his powerful and intense gaze. With a tinge of anticipation, she tried to sound him out and said, "Why do you think I treat you in a special manner?" She did not know if he had regained his memories or was purposely playing dumb here. If that was true, his acting skills could have won him an Oscar. How perfect and exceptional! "The only reason why a woman is willing to sacrifice unconditionally for a man is because she loves him too much. So, can I guess that you treat me in a special manner because you love him very much?" Instead of beating around the bush, Stefan raised the question that had been troubling him for nearly half a year.It was because the experience he had at Greenwood Sanatorium was indeed very unique. Even if he was slow, he could feel how deeply Renee cared about him.Holding that kind of doubt, he returned to the sanatorium again afterward. It was also at that time he learned that she used her blood as an ingredient fo

    He was indeed very talkative and hard to fool.If she knew that he would pester her, she would never come out to chat with him, no matter what. For a moment, awkwardness engulfed them. "It's late. I'm going to rest and leave you to your thoughts."Renee forcefully pushed his hand away and got up to leave."I won't let you go if you don't make it clear." Stefan held her wrist. His voice was full of pain. "To be honest, these doubts have been troubling me for half a year. I'm going to marry my fiancee soon. If I don't make it clear, I'll feel that I've wronged her." "What do you want to know?""I want to know why I hold special feelings for you. What kind of… past did we share?" Stefan was such a smart person. Of course, his sensitivity and perception were exceptional. After his brain surgery and having his first contact with her when he woke up, he could feel a magical connection between them. Besides, a lot of people were hesitant and unwilling to talk about her. It

    Just when Renee was about to speak, a soft but weak voice interrupted them."Stefan, here you are. I've been looking for you for a very long time. I even thought that something had happened to you." Seraphina was wearing a hospital gown. Her face appeared frail, and there was an IV tube injected into her body. She appeared at the entrance of the rooftop. "Seraphina, why did you come here?"Stefan furrowed his brows deeply before he hurried forward to support her. His handsome face was full of worry. "You just recovered a little. Why are you so wilful?" "No, I'm not. If you're gone, it'll no longer be important if my body is healthy or not." Seraphina coughed twice before she leaned into his arms feebly. She even acted coquettishly. "I had a nightmare just now that you were snatched by someone else. I was startled before I woke up. As expected, I didn't see you around. So, I acted instinctively and ran to the rooftop to look for you. I got so tired from walking, and I feel tha

    Jovan called Stefan to sound the latter out. Anyway, it would be convenient for Stefan to rush over since they were both at the same spot. "I'll be right there," Stefan said. Then, he hung up.For a moment, silence washed over everyone, as if something terrible was about to happen.After taking in the new information, Leia said indignantly, "What's going on? Why does he want to come? Isn't he too shameless? How dare he come?" Although everything wasn't discussed openly, everyone knew why Stefan and Renee broke up all of a sudden, despite how lovey-dovey they were. The reason was that Stefan had cheated on Renee.Even if the adultery was faked, it was still the cause of their breakup. If Stefan were shameful or guilty, he wouldn't have agreed to come. He was going to face Renee there with their friends and family around. Certainly, it was embarrassing. "Hmph! Why not? He impersonated me, seized my business, and snatched away my woman. Plus, he led a steady life, got married

    Jovan's words made the atmosphere quiet and bizarre. "Are you out of your mind, Jovan? It's already very annoying to have someone like you here. Do you have to get another annoying guy?" Leia frowned, crossing her arms. She kept scolding him.Initially, the atmosphere was considered harmonious. It was still considered fine even if there was an annoying person like Jovan. Unexpectedly, he wanted to call another, more terrible person to come here. Things would certainly go wrong. "Ms. Osborne, you're famous for talking harshly, too. You're just like me. I love it." However, Jovan was not mad at all. He grinned while waiting for Stefan to answer the call. Generally, Stefan would not answer Jovan's call. Surprisingly, he picked it up that time."What's the matter?" Jovan purposely put it on speaker mode. Stefan sounded aloof and emotionless.Jovan sounded wicked as he calmly asked Stefan, "Do you want to join a gathering, Stefan?""I'm going to hang up if you don't say anythi

    In the past, Jovan had always regarded Stefan as a coward. Stefan couldn't forget about Renee, but he kept pushing Renee to another man. It seemed like Justin was more responsible, considerate, and gentle. Of course, Renee would lead a very happy, steady, and comfortable life with such a man. At the very least, Jovan felt that he could not be that meticulous and considerate. He would only drive Renee mad just to get her attention. "Hmph! Are you trying to humiliate me or yourself?" Justin didn't find that a compliment. Instead, it sounded like smockery. Jovan made it sound like Justin was a nice guy, but would not be picked by Renee. Usually, people like that had to suffer and would not end up well."I'm praising you." Jovan was helpless because of his reputation as the villain. Although he had said a lot of annoying things, he did want to compliment Justin. His love was probably as deep as Justin's, but his and Stefan's ways of loving Renee were much inferior to Justin's.

    "That's unnecessary." Justin stood in front of Renee, his face cold. He said firmly, "She's unwell and can't have wine." "Is she unwell? I didn't see that." Jovan sized Renee up before he sized Justin up. Then, he sneered, "And who are you to her? You can't stop her from having wine.""It's none of your business who I am to her. I said she can't have wine." Justin always kept peace with others, but at that moment, he was dominant. He didn't always want to control Renee, but she had drunk a lot of wine that day. It might have hurt her belly. Hence, he felt it better for her to abstain from wine lately. However, Jovan was unaware of that affair. He simply found Justin purposely showing his ownership over Renee, which disgusted him."Waiter, get her a glass of milk. She only wants that," Justin instructed a waiter, showing his consideration for Renee. "It's okay. I can have a little wine. Plus, I'm rather good at drinking. It's not easy for everyone to get together tonight. I do

    They danced for around ten minutes. Renee danced to the song heartily. Her initial gloomy mood also improved.Renee drank some water and took a few deep breaths. Then, she sincerely praised Leia, "Alright. Your welcome ceremony is bizarre, but it helped relieve my stress. I like it very much!"She could tell that Leia had painstakingly prepared that gift for her. After all, it was not easy to ask the Zambawi people from primitive tribes to sing an English song. "I'm glad you like it. I did this because I wanted you to relax and stop taking things seriously. You need to stop being so hard on yourself and get rid of all the pressure!" Leia said honestly. The Zambawi hand-drum dance came with the charms of a primitive dance. Its goal was to set people free. Of course, it was suitable for Renee to relieve her stress."Yeah, your stress is relieved. From now on, you'll start afresh. This is for you. I'm sure it'll be one of your happy memories." Liam handed the previous Polaroid to

    "This is your welcome ceremony. This hand-drum dance is to help eliminate bad luck." Leia held Renee's arm, satisfied with her arrangement. She said happily, "Listen to their song! It's a great song!""Is there a song?" Renee frowned; she felt that Leia was always doing bizarre things. She wondered how Leia could come up with such a preposterous welcome ceremony."Mm, listen carefully! It's English. You can understand it." At that point, Leia said to the Zambawi people, "Put on your microphone. And sing louder."The Zambawi people gave their cooperation. They used their typical Zambawi singing to sing the English song. While listening to the song, Renee found it very familiar. "The flowers will bloom in spring, and the birds are free. I'm still waiting, waiting for my love to come back. Hurry home!""Isn't that Spring Flowers by Curtis Harrett?" Renee finally recalled what song it was. It was a song with a happy beat. It could make people happy. The Zambawi people made th

    "I don't know, either. All I ever remember from when I was young is that I led a very painful life. I once tried my best to make the Garcia family accept me. I did all the dirty and tiring jobs. I went out to work at an early age to get money for them. I also did all the house chores. "But my foster parents were never nice to me. They would always beat me up or scold me. My elder foster brother also saw me as an eyesore. He always tried to get me killed…" Quinton calmly described his past. He no longer seemed to be in pain. All that was left in him was numbness, as if he were talking about someone else.However, Renee was always in pain whenever she heard him talk about his past. She felt like she had returned to his past with him and experienced those painful things. It was normal for her to feel that way because they were twins. A lot of their thoughts and feelings were synchronized. "I suddenly recalled that I would inexplicably become gloomy many times when I was young. I

    "I'm sorry." When Renee heard that from Quinton, she realized the conflict between him and Stefan had yet to be resolved. It was temporarily put aside because of her. She occasionally saw him and Stefan talk to each other and drink together, but they merely put on a show to ease her mind. Their hatred for each other hadn't been eliminated. Instead, it was growing secretly. If Renee were Quinton, she might never forgive the person who had snatched away her beloved and seized her identity. That person even ruined her face."Why did you say sorry to me? It's the resentment between him and me. It has nothing to do with you. Plus, I didn't know he was my brother-in-law then. If I knew, I wouldn't have fought him." When Quinton recalled those affairs, he realized that people were nothing but the sport of fate. If there had been no resentment between him and Stefan, Renee might not have broken up with Stefan. Their families might even get closer. "Stop bringing up the past. It's

    During these days, Renee was under pressure because of her affairs. She had no chance to ask Quinton about it. Now, the long flight gave them a chance to have a deep conversation. They could talk about their woes and seek consolation."Me?" Quinton lowered his head and shook his head helplessly. "I'm still the same old me. Nothing is troubling me. I've been busy with Carmine Pawnshop. I have no time to think about other stuff.""You have no time?" Renee touched her chin and smiled naughtily. "Then, you must have been dwelling on other stuff. Let me guess… Is it the thing between you and Joanne?" "Stop asking so much." Quinton did not deny it but refused to talk much about that. "It looks like I made the right guess. You fell out with Joanne, didn't you?" Renee knew Quinton well. Generally, his work would not affect his mood. The only person who could affect his mood was Joanne, who shared a complicated relationship with him. Before Renee left Beach City, she had created a l
