Chapter 23

ผู้เขียน: Mizuki Sei
Despite being married for four years, they rarely stood this close to each other. The air between them abruptly rose in temperature.

Renee’s face was bright red as she tried her best to regulate her breathing. “Yeah, so I hope you can give us your blessing, Mr. Hunt. I’ve given you my blessing after all.”

Stefan’s eyes darkened, huffing coldly. “Who is it? Is it Geronimo’s youngest son? If I remember correctly, that guy’s three years younger than you. You know that, right?”

His words alone were enough to upset Renee. ‘What? Is he implying that I’m too old? Then why can other men date girls who are decades younger than them, but women can’t date someone just a couple of years younger?

“And what about it? Why does it matter to you? Besides… don’t you know that a lot of younger guys prefer mature women now? Oh, how hard it was to resist his adorable efforts when he was pursuing me.”

“I don’t care if you’re dating a younger guy, but Liam Osborne is off-limits.” Stefan narrowed his eye

  • The Untouchable Ex-Wife   Chapter 24

    “Please darling, we’ve been married for four years, you know? Even if you did cheat on me… I forgive you, because… my love for you is true… Please… just don’t be so cruel to me…“I wasn’t asking for much either, I just wanted the least valuable law firm that you own. You can’t just divorce me and leave me out on the streets to starve, right? I’ll die!“I’ll give you my blessing… I’ll leave quietly for your sake! I won’t bother you at all, I just want you to be happy!”Renee’s acting was immaculate. Tears were flowing down her cheeks and she damsel in distress. Riled up by her performance, the viewers left countless comments as the stream continued.[What a jerk! Stefan Hunt really is as cruel as they say! How inhumane can he be?!][Men like him should rot in hell! She just wanted a law firm, that’s pocket change for him!][This bastard and his mistress should burn in hell!][I’m unfollowing them! Men are all the same! What a waste of good looks!]Stefan was visibly enraged at t

    “Mr. Hunt, calm down! Leave Mrs. Hunt alone!”“You know that domestic abuse is a crime, right? Mrs. Hunt is such a great person! She loves you so much too! How could you ever bring yourself to hit her!?”“We’ll quit our jobs if you dare to hit her one more time! And we’ll file a lawsuit against you for the abuse you’ve put her through!”These people were employees of Hunt Enterprise, specifically the ones Renee handed her lunchboxes in secret to. Looks like the few extra snacks Renee gave them finally paid off.At the time, Stefan and Renee were still in a rather… inconvenient position.Looking from afar, it seemed that Stefan was forcing himself on Renee, using his tall figure as an advantage to her feeble body. To an outsider, it was truly an infuriating sight.Stefan’s actions had caused an uproar. Even his most trusted assistant, Elijah, was on Renee’s side this time.“Mr. Hunt, I have to be real with you here.“Mrs. Hunt is a great person. You should know that. For the pas

    After the live stream incident, Stefan found himself in a PR disaster where netizens cursed him out daily. Some of them even went as far as to expose his mistress, Briar’s past relationship with his late brother.Everyone was absolutely furious with Stefan’s indecency, especially with how he was sexually involved with his brother’s girlfriend. Hunt Enterprise, which had barely recovered from the recent cyber attack, was also affected by this. Their stock prices tanked as soon as news of their CEO’s scandal spread.“Stef, what in the world happened in that live stream? Just look at how you treat Renee… How could my son be such a bastard!“Your cheating is now being published on every platform too! Aren’t you proud of yourself?!“And how dare you abuse Renee! If I weren’t traveling abroad to find a suitable heart donor for your grandfather’s surgery, I’d make sure you won’t see the light of day!”The sun had just risen, but Stefan had already received an earful from his father.W

    Stefan’s patience was wearing thin. “Just spit it out, what’s the hold-up?”“After careful data analysis on every platform, we’ve arrived at the conclusion that most netizens feel upset for the unfairness that Mrs. Hunt has faced. “If you were to obtain Mrs. Hunt’s forgiveness, and show the public how your relationship has improved, I think we have a good chance of changing public opinion toward you,” Rachel explained while looking away from Stefan.She knew just how prideful her boss was. In fact, it wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that everyone perceived him as the ruler of Beach City. Now, they were asking for him to grovel before a woman he had abandoned. It just didn’t seem possible.“No.” Stefan was very straightforward with his answer. “Since those netizens love wasting their time on gossip, then so be it.”“They are naive if they think they’re able to take Hunt Enterprise down,” Stefan scoffed haughtily. Hunt Enterprise has branched out into various industries, in

    Stefan did not expect to find 300,000 active users on this forum, which placed it in the top five most active groups on the entire website.He foolishly thought that this was just a small interest group, but it seemed that they were as big as an army. It was no wonder a single live stream was able to put him in the headlines.Stefan continued scrolling down the page, his eyes completely focused on the screen.[This is so sweet! Just look at them! Look at them!][Oh my god, my precious little Renee is looking at that bastard with such loving eyes!][They’re definitely the opposites attract trope! The cold tsundere CEO, Stefan Hunt, loves his wife just as much as she does!]The forum was incredibly active, and new threads containing old stories, photos, and theories would pop up every few minutes, all revolving around Stefan and Renee’s relationship. This was the first time Stefan realized that he actually had this many pictures with Renee. Moreover, he noticed just how deeply in

    “Cough! Cough!” Renee, who was drinking a glass of lemon water when Stefan asked the question, started choking.‘Am I hallucinating? Isn’t this stone-hearted prince being too direct? This is too unlike him.’“Don’t be a narcissist. Who even told you that?” Averting her gaze, Renee denied ever loving him with guilt gnawing in her heart.“Everyone has been telling me that. They said you loved me very much,” replied Stefan with a grin that unconsciously widened.Plenty of women have confessed their love to him. Some even tried to seduce him with their bodies. He would always be annoyed by them, let alone develop feelings for them. On the other hand, he enjoyed being doused in this Renee’s love. For some reason, it gave him a sense of achievement.“Oh please, you know I was acting during that live stream. Those people are blissfully unaware of what was actually happening,” Renee answered nonchalantly. She did not intend to reveal her true feelings. It was the only way she coul

    Renee’s mind went blank and her body stiffened up. Although she had slept with the man once, this was the very first time they had kissed.As she expected, his lips were cold as ice, but they made her burn up intensely. Renee’s clenched fists slowly loosened up as she closed her eyes, allowing herself to get lost in his sudden embrace…A few minutes later, a man’s voice came from one of the corners, “Alright, we can wrap this up now!”Soon, the restaurant’s lights were once again switched on.Renee was finally brought back to reality as well. She quickly pushed Stefan off of her with a look of disgust.‘What just happened?‘Was I out of it just now? How could I have kissed my future ex-husband?!’Thinking to herself, she immediately wiped her lips clean with her hands, but this action made Stefan rather upset“What are you doing that for? I could tell that you enjoyed it, you know?”Renee tightened her fists, suppressing the urge to beat the man up while questioning him. “Wh

    "What else is there?" Renee turned around, staring at the man's hand around her wrist, her expression as calm as still water. "Would you like to return the favor, Mr. Hunt?"Stefan was silent as he stared at her coldly. His deep gaze held a million unspoken words. Renee boldly stepped forward, and her face was now inches away from his. Her lips curved into a smirk, and she whispered mockingly, "You’re famous for holding grudges, Mr. Hunt, so why pretend? If you're upset, just get even and slap me."Naturally, Stefan didn't lift a finger. Instead, he looked at the people around them, silently commanding them to leave.Soon, they were the only two left in the large restaurant.Stefan let go of her, and exhaled deeply. "I never wanted to use you… I may have been lying when I said I loved you, but I truly am sorry for hurting you."The light of the chandelier accentuated the man's beautiful features, making him look like some kind of ethereal being. He was so near, yet so far."Are

    "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

    After a long while, Quinton turned around. He looked at Renee, who was across from him, and heaved a long sigh."We're about to go home soon. Why do you look this gloomy? What's wrong…? Are you reluctant to part with this place?" Quinton said. "No, I'm not." Renee poured herself a glass of orange juice and sipped it. She frowned and dwelled on it before she said, "I feel empty inside. I don't know if I made the right choice.""Empty?" Quinton asked curiously."I think I've said goodbye to a steady life since I decided to leave. Maybe I'll keep on wandering from now on," Renee said melancholically. The reason why she chose to give it a try with Justin because she was tired. She was exhausted from leading a wandering life and wanted to settle down with someone. Others could not give her the sense of security like Justin. When she saw him, she inexplicably wanted a home. At that time, she thought she could forget about everything and start a new life with him. Unexpectedly, she

    Adie was still a child, but he acted like a smart person and could see through a lot of things. He could guess why Austin took them to the Baldwin residence. He had also heard the servants of the Baldwin family rebuking Renee in secret. After combining various situations, he learned about what had happened between Renee and Justin. Despite everything, Justin could forgive Renee under such circumstances. He also treated Adie and Abby nicely. It proved that he was a very compassionate man. A small regret gripped Adie. He wondered why Renee didn't date Justin right from the start. If Renee were with such a kind man, she might be very happy. She wouldn't have to suffer through so many hardships either. "No, you don't know me. I always sweat the small stuff."Justin was displeased since Adie had claimed that he was a good guy, like Renee had. He heaved a long sigh and said, "But it's useless even if I sweat the small stuff, so I stop trying. It all comes down to fate. We can't forc

    Renee turned and found Jovan unscathed. Relief washed over her. She said grumpily, "It's none of your business!""Tsk! How cruel!" Jovan clutched his chest and pretended to be in deep pain. At the same time, he teased, "I know. Your soulmate is better. I'm so jealous of him, though he's still a fallback guy.""Go to hell, Jovan!" Jovan's nasty words drove Renee mad. She grabbed a piece of napkin, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at his face. "If I knew you'd talk so badly, I wouldn't be bothered to save you. Maybe you'll get reborn in Ulria. Then, you have to watch your tongue!""Hey! Yeah, I was wrong. You don't have to curse me like that!" Jovan raised his hands to surrender, but felt quite moved. He poured himself a glass of milk and devotedly toasted to her. "Thank you for caring about me and trying your best to save me. I'll toast to you. And you can do whatever you want.""You're so childish." Renee rolled her eyes and was amused.Justin was quite jealous to see them

    "What's that?" Justin frowned and said with disdain, "That's something to fool naive women like you. Only lovestruck fools will believe that." As a materialistic person, he never believed in things like horoscopes and fortune-telling. At most, they were mixed with some psychology. They weren't trustworthy at all.If Renee wanted to use those things to talk about their relationships and destinies, it would seem very childish. "Don't be so extreme. Those things are real and logical." Renee acted like an experienced salesperson and gradually eliminated Justin's prejudice. She said patiently, "If you believe those things, they can guide you and help you to see things through. If not, you can use them to kill time. Just try to get to know them. Isn't that nice?"Finally, Justin was convinced. He had some milk and asked her leisurely, "Fine. Tell me what kind of relationship we have based on those things." "I learned that our relationship is a declining friendship based on our birt

    "I…" Renee paused. For a moment, she had no idea how to answer that question."Don't put yourself in a difficult position. Just follow your heart," Justin said calmly. "If you want to stay, my family will still welcome you readily. If you want to leave, I'll come up with a way to help you leave smoothly."After listening to Justin, Renee answered honestly, "Maybe it's better for me to leave, though I know this choice will hurt you."She could choose to stay to protect Justin's dignity and give Austin a good explanation. It would be more relaxing and steadier for her. However, Renee knew that it could only last briefly. She would cause Justin greater harm. She might as well be decisive and stop the damage in time. "Don't say that." Justin cracked a bitter smile and said with relief, "I've stopped taking things too seriously. If you like me, you won't stop loving me even if we're apart. Similarly, you'll think about another man if you don't like me, even though you're always b

    Austin was having breakfast in the dining room. When he saw Justin and Renee walk over intimately, he finally believed that they had slept together. They seemed like a real couple."Good morning, Grandpa Baldwin!" Renee obediently greeted Austin just like before. She acted normally."Good morning." Austin nodded, unable to suppress his smile. After sizing them up, he calmly said to Renee, "We know how apologetic you are after you toasted to us last night. We'll forget about the past. You're still a part of my family." "Grandpa!" Justin interrupted Austin; he was very protective of Renee. "She's a woman, and we're not married yet. Please don't say that. A woman's reputation is the most important thing.""You…" Austin wanted to refute Justin, but their conflict was just resolved so it would be bad to pressure them more. He shook his head and said, "Fine. You two always have a bland romance. Finally, you've made some progress. I'll let you two decide what to do next.""Got it, Gr
