Chapter 1774

작가: Mizuki Sei
"As you said, it's just a rumor. I'm sure the elders just said it to scare people. Only fools like you would believe it," Jeffrey scoffed. He had heard of that rumor, but didn't believe it.

For the past ten years, the villagers had told stories of a sea witch that lived in the depths of the sea and survived by sucking the blood of men. Many fishermen had apparently been harmed by the sea witch. Usually, the men would end up dead, but sometimes, the sea witch would bewitch the whole family and

  • The Untouchable Ex-Wife   Chapter 2763

    Meanwhile, the conversation between Quinton and Timothy turned out to be surprisingly cordial.Quinton had originally intended to confront Timothy about the truth surrounding his family history, but after talking for a while, he realized Timothy genuinely knew nothing about any of it.Timothy's curiosity, concern, and affection toward the grandson of an old friend were sincere. Without realizing it, Quinton lowered his guard."Come here. I'll show you some photos of Maurice, your grandfather, and me, as well as our comrades during the war."Timothy leaned on his cane and slowly shuffled across the study. He opened the most treasured drawer in the room and carefully removed an old-fashioned photo album. Page by page, he flipped through it.Ever since retiring from Hunt Enterprise, Timothy had developed few hobbies. He spent most of his days in the study, reading books, admiring paintings, and looking through these yellowed photos. They allowed him to revisit a past that was gone bu

    "So that's what it was."After hearing Stefan's confession, Renee felt like a puppet with its strings cut. The strength drained out of her. She lowered the fruit knife and sank onto the couch in silence."I'm sorry. I never wanted to hurt you, but I didn't want you to suffer or be forced into an impossible situation either."Stefan's eyes held more sorrow and helplessness than anyone should have to bear. The weight of it had nearly crushed him.He no longer knew how to save either himself or Renee from the vortex that had swallowed them both.Renee let out a bitter laugh."So you were afraid I'd get hurt, and your solution was to hurt me in an even crueler way? Am I supposed to be touched or angry?"She lifted her head. Her eyes were just as full of sadness. The tears glistening there refused to fall and were being held back by sheer stubbornness.As the one seeking justice, she refused to shed another tear for the man in front of her."Yeah. I was an idiot. I chose the worst

    Stefan looked at Renee as if he had a lot to say, but in the end, he said nothing and shook his head instead. "Nothing much.""Nothing much? Then why are you acting like the victim when my brother is the real victim?"Renee clenched her fists. The same anger Quinton had carried for years now surged through her as well."Because all of this means you and I can never be together. Doesn't that make me a victim too?" Stefan asked solemnly.Renee fell silent.She was stunned for a moment. That wasn't the answer she had expected.On the surface, it made sense, and yet it didn't.Something about what he said felt incomplete. It was as if he were still hiding something."Do you really think that's the only reason you feel this way?" Renee asked before clenching her fists.She wanted to dig deeper and uncover what he was truly thinking, but it didn't matter anymore, especially not with the relationship they had now."Am I wrong? Do you think we can go back to the way we were? Could yo

    With Stefan vouching for them, Quinton and Timothy headed upstairs to the study together.In the massive living room, aside from the two maids stationed there, only Renee and Stefan remained.Stefan waved them off. "You two can go.""Yes, Master Hunt."The maids nodded respectfully and left the living room.The already spacious, luxurious living room felt even emptier. The ancient Gremorian paintings and crystal chandelier only added to the atmosphere. Beautiful as it was, the place felt like a gilded cage.Renee's gaze turned cold. She casually picked up a fruit knife from the table and spun it in her hand. "Do you really think I won't use this on you?"Stefan walked over and sat beside her as if nothing were wrong. His expression remained calm."I almost wish you would. Then maybe this unfinished story between us could finally come to an end."A surge of anger rose in Renee's chest. She pressed the knife directly against his throat."Don't test my patience. I'm not as heart

    The atmosphere instantly became tense.It turned out that a relationship didn't truly break apart during screaming matches or violent confrontations. Sometimes, it could happen in completely calm moments like this.They were only a few feet away from each other, but it felt as if they were a thousand miles apart.As Renee's twin brother, Quinton could sense exactly what she was feeling. His chest felt tight. If he was this miserable, he could only imagine how much worse it was for her.This wasn't what he wanted. It wasn't what he'd hoped to see. If possible, he would rather they lay everything out in the open, let go of their hatred, and find their way back to each other.That seemed impossible right now. They had chosen their respective sides and were drifting farther apart with every step."Since Mr. Hunt and Madam Francine won't be back until tonight at the earliest, why don't I keep Timothy company for a while? As for you two, maybe spend some time talking."Quinton spread

    "Exactly. You narcissistic brat. Who do you think you are? I couldn't care less what happens to you. I'm only worried about my granddaughter-in-law getting hurt!"Timothy shot Stefan an irritated look. The more he looked at him, the more annoyed he felt.Stefan rubbed the bridge of his nose awkwardly. "Grandpa, what did I do this time? Why does it feel like every time you see me, you want to skin me alive? Seriously, which one of us is actually your family?"He was complaining, but there was a trace of satisfaction in his voice.Despite the divorce, it felt as if nothing had really changed.His family still treated Renee like one of their own. Their relationship with her hadn't grown distant because of the divorce.That gave him a sense of comfort. To him, it felt like maybe nothing had truly changed. Maybe all the grudges and resentment could eventually disappear because of the genuine bond they shared."Are you asking what you did wrong?"Timothy glared at him. "You someh

    Consequently, Stefan and Renee went their separate ways. Stefan went out to look for Adie while Renee was convinced Adie was just out playing and would come back soon. Renee decided not to worry about it, and went to cook dinner with Abby. Meanwhile, Adie was safe and sound. He held Tiffany's hand a

    "The Heart of the Grassland?" Renee usually scrolled through entertainment news and had long heard of this IP. It was one of the novels of the Grassland trilogy written by Juniper, a famous novelist. It described the story of a modern urban woman who was stressed about life, and chose to travel to B

    Although Renee couldn't see who it was, she had to do something. "Hold on, I'll save you!" She put the torch in her mouth, planning to tear away the vines to see what was going on. "Don't move!" Stefan's voice came from behind her suddenly. He held her shoulders, stopping her from moving forward. Sh
