The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Liam’s relaxed voice came to a sudden halt as soon as he noticed Stefan standing inside the ward.

He scanned the ice-cold ‘statue’ up and down, and the ‘statue’ stared back at him. The odd tension from before returning to the room.

“Do you know each other?” Stefan asked Renee with a chilling tone.

He wondered how an infamous playboy and a modest rich lady would ever get the chance to interact when they were from completely different worlds.

“Well…” Renee buried her face in her hands awkwardly. She was the one who texted Liam to meet at the hospital, but she didn’t expect him to arrive so soon.

‘A soon-to-be ex-husband bumping into the dashing playboy… This was weirdly reminiscent of a scene from a romantic drama.’

“Know her? She’s my muse!” Liam exclaimed as he approached Renee with a bouquet of sunflowers in his hand.

With a sarcastic smile, he turned to Stefan. “Little do you know, Master Hunt, Miss Everheart has quite the reputation back in our school! She has so many admirers that she could build an army if she wanted to! As for me, I’m her most loyal fanboy!”

“As one of her biggest fans, of course, I’d have to come over to congratulate her on finally handing in those divorce papers! It’s a great day!” Liam said as he handed the bouquet to Renee. There was love in his eyes as if he was no longer the infamous womanizer.

“These sunflowers are for you, my goddess. I remember that these are your favorite, especially since they symbolize loyalty and new hope, right?”

“I think it truly does suit you the most!”

Renee did in fact love sunflowers. However, she knew that the sunflower actually symbolized unwavering love, which was what she felt for Stefan. She never had eyes on anyone else the moment she met him.

Now that things had come to this, she realized that it was time to look somewhere else. After all, it was just a pointless endeavor to keep on loving him.

Renee happily accepted the gift and brought it up to her nose. Sniffing the flowers, she flashed Liam a bright smile and thanked him. “This is the first time in four years I’ve received any flowers. They smell great.”

“I’ll send you flowers every day if you’d like!”

Stefan’s expression was as cold as ice at this point, so much so that the temperature within the room seemed to have lowered by a few degrees.

Liam smirked arrogantly as he noticed Stefan’s silence, teasing him. “Mr. Hunt, I’m really grateful to you for returning my goddess to a life of freedom. A divine beauty has yet again returned to Beach City.”

Stefan ignored Liam’s remarks, along with his existence, entirely. To him, Liam was merely the old man, Geronimo Osborne’s spoiled kid. He didn’t have to pay attention to this flirt at all.

The bright yellow sunflowers complimented Renee’s gorgeous appearance, blinding Stefan for a brief second. He even mumbled to himself under his breath. “I didn’t know you like sunflowers…” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“There’s a lot of things you don’t know about me.” Renee chuckled coldly before issuing an instruction.

“Help me put these flowers in the vase, Liam.”

“Alrighty!” Liam immediately did as told.

Upon seeing this, Stefan felt oddly frustrated once more. ‘Just what is their relationship?’

‘This sixth master of the Osborne family had always presented himself as a cocky womanizer, but why is he acting like a complete simp in front of Everheart?’

“Do you need anything else, Master Hunt?” Renee smiled politely at the man, indicating that she wanted him gone.

Stefan looked even more upset now. “I’ll have to remind you that you’re still a married woman during the grace period, so be mindful of your actions.”

“I know. At least I wouldn’t end up with a child like you did, Master Hunt.”

Stefan had a feeling he was going to pop a vein if he continued this conversation, so he exited the ward without saying a word.

Seconds after he left, Liam couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

“Hahahaha!”

“Did you see that, boss? Did you? He looked so mad!”

“I swear, this is the first time in four years I’ve ever seen him make an expression on his stone face, even though I’ve bumped into him in so many events! That was hilarious to watch!”

“You were amazing, Boss! You dissed him so hard that he decided to rage quit! Hahahaha, good job!”

Renee didn’t feel happy about it at all. In fact, sadness began to well up in her heart. No matter how indifferent Stefan was, he was still the man she had loved for four years. She never expected them to

end up this way.

“Okay, okay, stop laughing. Where’s the thing I asked for? Give it to me,” said Renee who had decided to leave her sorrow behind
