Chapter 148

Author: Mizuki Sei
Stefan woke up the next day with his head weighing a million pounds.

He looked around and saw Elijah sitting in front of the bed, observing him with a frown.

"Mr. Hunt, you’re finally awake. My mission is done. I can leave now." He let out a sigh of relief and seemed excited.

With Stefan completely out of it last night, all he could do was guard him the entire night. Elijah feared that Briar, who was yearning for a chance with Stefan, would sneak in and take advantage of the man while he was

  • The Untouchable Ex-Wife   Chapter 2741

    As far as Renee was concerned, Stefan seriously had issues.Every now and then, he'd say things that completely threw her off and act like there was some blood feud between them. Whenever she tried pressing him for answers, he'd avoid the topic and change the subject. It drove her insane every single time.It happened again and again. It got to the point where they would always part in anger after getting into the same heated discussions.Each time that happened, she swore to herself she would never deal with him again. Yet every single time, the moment he got even slightly closer to her, she hopelessly fell right back into the same cycle.Honestly, she wasn't even angry at him anymore. She was angry at herself.The two of them stayed silent the entire drive back to Everheart Manor.But when they got home this time, Joanne, the kids, and even Quinton were all there.The group sat together on the living room couch watching a movie, and strangely enough, no one mentioned where t

    "Well…"Renee hesitated for a moment. Seeing how well the kids and Margaret were getting along, she finally agreed. "Alright then. We'll leave quietly, just like in Farewell to Combridge. Quietly as we came."She and Stefan got back into the car. The moon in the sky up ahead did make this feel a little romantic.After everything that had happened that day, Renee was exhausted. Somehow, she ended up leaning against the window and falling asleep.She didn't know how much time had passed before she opened her eyes again and realized the car had stopped, but they weren't at Everheart Manor."Where are we?"She looked around and instantly tensed up."The beach," Stefan answered calmly."Oh. The beach."Oddly enough, the answer didn't surprise her at all. In fact, it felt reasonable. It was like she'd returned to where she truly belonged.She could hear the sound of rolling waves outside the car. With the window rolled down, the occasional gusts of ocean breeze somehow made her f

    The two of them wasted no time and sped all the way to the small countryside house where Margaret was staying.After Renee revamped the area, far fewer strangers came seeking 'treatment,' so the place had become much quieter.Even before entering the yard, they could already hear the kids' cheerful laughter drifting from inside."Whew! Thank goodness!"Renee and Stefan looked at each other. Tears shimmered in Renee's eyes. They were tears of relief, the kind that came after unbearable tension suddenly melted away.Her two precious kids, along with Joanne, were safe after all."I told you those two little troublemakers are smart. They usually won't get themselves into real danger. Stop stressing yourself out so much in the future."Stefan slipped an arm around Renee's shoulders. His heart ached for how much she worried as a mother."Listen to you talking. Weren't you exactly the same? Whose face went pale and looked ready to blow up the entire planet?"Renee raised a brow and s

    At such a close distance, it was as though they could feel each other's heartbeat through the thin fabric of their clothes. Their warm breaths mixed in the air, making the atmosphere not only intimate, but heated."Ahem! It's so hot in here!"Renee tugged at her shirt and tried to let in a bit of cool air. She had on a light blue dress that accentuated her figure so well it could easily make one's imagination run wild."I-I'll go turn on the AC."Stefan stood up. His voice was unnaturally hoarse.He wanted to slap himself twice. How could he let his thoughts wander at a time like this?"There's no need to. Finding the kids is more important. Let's figure out where they went first."Compared to him, Renee stayed much calmer. Aside from feeling a little awkward, all of her attention remained fixed on the surveillance footage.Eventually, she vaguely heard the kids discussing going to visit Margaret.In the video, Abby and Adie talked about how much they missed Margaret. Joanne i

    The two of them entered the bedroom. The familiar environment made Stefan feel as though he had stepped into his own room, and his gaze instinctively wandered around.As expected, the first thing he noticed was the antique painting by Henry Somerset hanging on the wall.His heart clenched instantly.That's because he had seen that painting before. In fact, he was still very young at the time."This painting…"Stefan walked up to it and examined it carefully. There was a troubled expression on his face."What's wrong? Don't tell me you've seen this painting too?" While booting up the computer, Renee glanced back curiously at him."It's an original by Henry Somerset. It's not strange that I've seen it before," Stefan answered vaguely before adding in a probing tone, "Since when were you interested in things like this? I remember you used to look down on antiques and paintings like these. You said they were only valuable because of nostalgia and hype."He still remembered when the

    "What? The kids are missing?"Stefan frowned. His expression instantly turned grim.Just like Renee, the children were his weak spot. He could stay calm about almost anything else, but the moment the kids were involved, all reason went out the window."I got tied up with something unexpected today. I naively thought maybe since Joanne was acting normal again, it'd be fine to let her pick up the kids. When I got home…"Renee crouched on the floor. She bit her lip as her body trembled uncontrollably with fear.The old Renee had feared nothing. She used to be the freest, boldest woman in the world. But ever since becoming a mother, she had become timid. Every decision was made cautiously. The slightest hint of trouble would make her panic. She had become an ordinary woman and an ordinary mother."You…"Stefan's first instinct was to blame her. Just like Quinton, he believed Joanne was far too unstable, and that the kids should never have been left in her care. However, seeing h

    After thinking about it for a long time, Renee decided to meet Timothy. She heard that he was ill and had wanted to visit him, but hadn't because of her messy situation. However, the information she had gotten from Justin might be related to Stefan, so she had to go. All she cared about at that mome

    Quinton and Xavier rushed to Dragos with their men, and soon surrounded the tiny village from all directions. They came in large groups of professionals and elites, and had weapons aimed at the village from the sea, land, and sky. It looked like they would annihilate the village if the villagers ref

    Stefan smacked away Xavier's hand coldly and glared at Xavier and Owen fiercely. "Is this all an act so Shirley doesn't have to give up her eyes?" "Are you kidding me?" Xavier huffed exasperatedly. He had always admired Stefan, but now he found him shameless and insensible, attacking everyone withou

    In the past, Stefan never used to cry—they used to call him an iceberg. Even if Renee had died in front of him, he wouldn't even have flinched. But now, he couldn't stop his tears. Seeing men cry was so rare that people always said men's tears were the best stimulant for women.At first, Renee wanted
