The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 403
Haze's handsome face was visibly overjoyed.As long as Renee had really gotten over Stefan, he believed that he would be able to move her with his sincerity one day.“You don't have any chance. After I finish my tasks here, I'm going to marry someone.”Renee said calmly while cutting her steak.Haze's expression immediately changed. He asked, "Marry someone? Who?”“I have no obligation to tell you.”Haze was only nervous for a second. He then became very calm and confident. He said, "It doesn't matter who he is, as long as his family name isn't Hunt, and as long as you haven't married him, I'm confident that I can make you fall in love with me.”“It's good to have confidence, but you should use it in the right place.”Renee raised her head and looked Haze in the eye. "Now, can you tell me what Stefan's schedule is for this evening?”“See? You still care about him...” Haze sighed and said truthfully, "His itinerary showed that he, like you, has a candlelight dinner planned for

However, the encounter was too brief. It came and went in an instant, like two meteors that streaked past each other.One of them was going up while the other was going down. Neither of them stopped for the other.“Hah, it seems Mr. Top Donor still cares about you. He's here for the dinner appointment.”When they arrived at the ground floor, Haze joked with a playful grin.“He can do whatever he wants. It's none of my concern.”Renee walked gracefully to the parking lot, as if the encounter had never happened.“You're not gonna go up and have a chat with him?”“The agreed time for the dinner is from 8 pm to 11 pm. It's already a quarter past 11. It's his fault that he came late. My time's precious too. Why should I stay for him?”Renee words were both rational and ruthless.“True. Maybe he's here for a dinner date with Briar. Otherwise, his expression wouldn't have been so cold when you saw each other just now, as if he didn't even know you.”Haze put his hands in his pockets

With a serious look on his handsome face, Stefan said coldly, "Is she finally here?”“Huh? Who?”The manager looked confused.“Who do you think?”“I'm sorry, Mr. Hunt, I have no idea who you're talking about...”Stefan's perfect facial features almost disintegrated. Keeping his anger in check, he asked, "If you don't know who I'm talking about, why are you talking to me?”“I just want to inform you that we're closing...” The manager lowered his eyes and said cautiously.In truth, their restaurant was supposed to close half an hour ago.But because Stefan was posing in front of the window without the slightest intention of leaving, no one dared to tell him.“Are you waiting for someone? Do you want us to call that person for you?”The restaurant manager saw that Stefan's expression was as cold as ice, so he boldly asked.“No need!”Stefan's handsome face stiffened as his thin lips spat out those words.He had to accept the reality that Renee, that damn woman, actually dared

Stefan's voice was cold and hoarse. His thin lips pressed against the woman's ear. His words were painful and angry. "Renee Everheart, you're truly the most heartless woman I've ever met!”The emotions that he had held inside for four years rushed out of him uncontrollably like an avalanche.He hugged her really tightly, as if he wanted to crush her and incorporate her pieces into his own body... As if that was the only way he could ensure that she would remain in his life and not leave him again!His embrace was so tight that Renee felt a bit painful. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.With her skills, she could easily drop him to the ground, but she did not resist. She let him hold her like a meek little rabbit.The embrace that she once longed for was so strong, so powerful, and so warm, but... it no longer aroused anything in her heart.It was easy to fall in love with someone, and it was not that hard to let go of someone either. Four years was enough for her to completely let

After all, this seemed to be the only thing still connecting them.If this matter was handled cleanly, then there would no longer be anything between them. They would become complete strangers.“Good. I have nothing else to say.”Stefan's emotions were very complicated, and so were his feelings for Renee.He could not say that he hated her.But there also seemed to be a lack of reason for him to embrace her again.He had to admit that after four years, many things had changed.Stefan coldly turned around, preparing to leave.“Wait.” Renee suddenly stopped him.“Anything else?”“Thank you,” Renee said sincerely.“For what?” Stefan was confused.“Thank you for visiting my parents' graves in the last four years. I once loved you deeply, and I once hated you deeply, but everything's over now. I no longer love or hate you. I hope that, when we meet in the future, we can greet each other with a smile, and I hope that we can both live our lives well,” Renee said from the bottom

By the time Renee returned to the apartment, it was already really late.Leia was not back yet, which was quite unusual.‘Could the heartless girl have found true love this time?’While Renee was wondering that, she saw Leia stealthily opening the door and sneaking in. Her fair face was tinged with a faint blush, displaying a girlish shyness.“Ahem.” Renee cleared her throat and stopped Leia. She interrogated her like a dorm manager. "Where have you been? Why are you back so late? Don't lie to me!”After hesitating for a while, Leia told her, "I'll be honest, I've fallen for this guy hard. Barring any accident, we'll probably get married at the end of the month. If the time is right, maybe we can even have a group wedding!”“Already? Isn't it a bit too impulsive?”Although Renee was happy for Leia, she still felt a bit uneasy. "You've always said that you would never get married or have children. Why the sudden change of mind?”“That's because I haven't met the right person! As

The study was big and dark, with rows of bookshelves.Stefan turned on the light expressionlessly, only to find Timothy sitting on the sofa, causing him to step back in shock.“Grandpa, why are you trying to scare people instead of sleeping?”Timothy's face was stiff. While leaning on his cane, he scolded, "I'm trying to scare myself to death. I'm sick of worrying about my children and grandchildren every day. I'm better off dead!”“There you go again...”Stefan rubbed his forehead and stabilized his emotions, then walked up to the old man and squatted to meet him in the eye. He patiently asked, "Did something happen today that made you unhappy?”“It's nothing. I'm lamenting my own uselessness, that's all. My old eyes are so blurry that I can't even see a person clearly now.”The old man shook his head, sighing.He thought back to the time when he followed General Everheart and fought against enemies on the battlefield. He used to be so brave and spirited.But now, he couldn't

The next day, Renee and Leia arrived at a high-end seafood restaurant together.“Ren, look, that's my boyfriend, William Jones. Isn't he handsome?”Leia pointed to a young man in the VIP area and said shyly.Renee looked in the direction Leia was pointing at and saw a man waiting there anxiously, occasionally fiddling with his clothes and tidying up the tableware. He was clearly a bit nervous and probably placed great importance on this meeting.“He looked very gentle. I can't believe this is the type that you would fall so hard for,” Renee joked.She always thought that Leia would like the domineering CEO type. After all, the male idols she liked were all of that type.But the gentle type was good too. At least they're considerate and reliable. He would complement the carefree Leia quite well—provided he truly was what he seemed.The man had also noticed them by now. He immediately flashed them a warm smile while waving to them.“Lei!”He quickly walked over and took the bag fr

"I'm so thirsty!" The burning sensation of the wine made Renee thirsty. She wanted to drink some water.In the dark, she heard some rustling. The next second, something was on her lips. It seemed to be someone else's lips. She wondered if someone had secretly kissed her."Who are you?" Renee grabbed the person in front of her and interrogated angrily, "How dare you kiss me without my permission! Do you know who I am? I'll cut off your lips!""Let's see if you can do that or not." The man sounded dull and drunk, but he was also overbearing.Although Renee was drunk, she could discern who it was. She called out in the dark and tried to confirm her doubt. "Haze…?" "Yeah, it's me," Justin admitted, but he did not plan to let her go. He used a more overbearing manner and trapped her between him and the door."What do you want?" Renee panicked. She wanted to kick him away, but she did not resist when she learned that it was Justin. After she had done so many things to hurt him, s

The servant walked forward with trepidation and helped Justin back to his room. Austin's eyes were dark. He whispered to his assistant, who nodded and immediately carried out his order.After two glasses of strong wine, Renee felt dizzy and could not stand steadily. "It's weird. Is this wine this strong? I just had two glasses of it, but I feel quite dizzy." It was hard for her to exit the hall. She could not stand properly, so she supported herself against the wall."Ms. Everheart, you didn't seem well. Let me help you to get some rest." Austin's assistant caught up to her and stood behind her. He even sounded respectful. "It's… fine. I can go back to my room." Renee waved; she didn't want to trouble others. Besides, she did not want others to see how miserable she was. She had assumed that she was good at drinking and would not get drunk, but it seemed like she had overestimated herself. After two glasses of wine, she became quite drowsy. She would not easily leave if s

Renee blinked and smiled brightly at Justin, asking him, "Are you worried about me?" "No, I'm not worried about you!" Justin said angrily. "I don't want you to get killed here. I can't explain it to your brother and kids. It's hard to handle the three of them."He was not lying. Although he had befriended Quinton, Adie and Abby might make a scene there if they realized that Renee had drunk so much wine at the party. They were witty, always full of ideas.Hence, it was better not to cause trouble. Before they could make a scene and things get out of control, Justin must stop Renee. He wasn't worried about her at all. "So, you're not worried about me?" Renee's gaze turned dull as she sighed. "It looks like you didn't forgive me. So, I must drink this glass of wine." Something was wrong with Renee, or perhaps she just wanted to torture herself. It seemed like she insisted on drinking the wine. She swung off Justin's hand and gulped down the wine."You're out of your mind!" Justi

The aged white wine was strong. Ordinary people would find it hard to drink a glass of it. Yet, Renee had drunk two glasses of it consecutively. It was a little dangerous. Everyone at the dining table was initially watching the fun, but they showed Renee some pity after she drank two glasses of wine consecutively. After wiping her lips clean, Renee staggered and said to Justin, "Let me toast to you now. I've wronged you the most." Justin, sitting there, said with a poker face, "You don't have to say sorry to me. We don't hold each other any grudge. After all, we can't make others fall in love with us.""No, I must apologize to you. It's for my sake." After that, Renee used a bigger glass and filled it with wine."Whatever!" Justin frowned and ignored Renee. He had no idea what was wrong with her. He had yielded and let her off, but she stubbornly wanted to keep drinking the wine.He wondered if she had forgotten the fact that she had just recovered from a serious illness. She

Suddenly, Justin became mature and stopped making jokes. He talked steadily and was no longer emotional. It filled Austin with worry because it made him feel like Justin was an emotionless robot.In comparison, he liked Justin's previous self better. At that time, Justin was simple and sentimental. He was the grandson Austin doted on the most.Sophia grinned and commented, "Dad, you don't have to worry about Justin. Men will change. Previously, he was just a childish kid even though he was in his twenties. He didn't know how to see through people's pretense. But he's all grown up now. He knows what's right or wrong. That's a great thing!" As a mother, she naturally did not want her son to get hurt. Although she favored Renee and wanted the latter to be her daughter-in-law, she would give up since Renee had let her son down and harmed him. All she wanted was to see Renee get away from her son."Yes, you're right. People need to grow up. He has grown up a lot lately, but the price

After a while, a servant quickly came back with a bottle of wine tied with a piece of red cloth. "Sir, Madam, this bottle of white wine was brewed more than ten years ago. It comes with a rich taste and is strong. I'm sure it's suitable for Ms. Everheart to toast to everyone as a form of apology.""That's good. That's what I want." Rose accepted the heavy bottle of wine. Although it was yet to be unscrewed, she could smell its pungent scent. "I won't easily let anyone drink this. Plus… Believe it or not, a glass of this wine can knock out anyone here." Rose carried the bottle of wine and walked around the table. Finally, she stopped in front of Renee. "I'm letting a sinner like you enjoy such a great thing today. You must drink all of it. You can't waste it.""Huh? Does she have to drink it all? I'm afraid she'll vomit from drinking.""People will lose themselves with only three to five glasses of this wine. If they drink half of it, they might get alcohol poisoning no matter

If any Baldwin demanded an explanation from Renee, she would not resent them."Fine, I won't go easy on you since you said so." Rose laughed recklessly, looking malicious. Everyone knew Rose was fierce and malicious. But none of them said anything, including Justin. They behaved like onlookers and wanted to see how Rose would punish Renee. "Please go ahead." Renee nodded and sounded very calm. "Don't worry. Regardless, you were the only woman my dear grandnephew had loved and wanted to marry. So, I won't be harsh on you. If not, he won't forgive me." At that point, Rose purposely paused and wanted to see how Justin would react.However, Justin merely sat there indifferently and had no intention to get Renee out of the predicament. Hence, Rose became bolder. "Well, let's do this. You've wronged not only Justin but everyone in my family. Since you're here to apologize, you should toast to all of us. Then, we can forget about this."After that, Rose turned to Austin and asked

The party started officially at night. It was a small party, and only some close relatives of the Baldwin family attended.Austin took the main seat while his son and daughter-in-law sat in the secondary seats. Justin and the others sat accordingly.After dressing herself up, Renee attended the party in simple clothes. She looked like a young lady from a great family. Adie, Abby, and Quinton did not attend the party to avoid unnecessary disputes. Renee was the only one who attended the party. When she reached the hall, the people had already taken their seats. They sized her up maliciously and studied her as if they wanted to make her pay a heavy price."Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I got here late." Renee took a deep breath and naturally greeted everyone. She appeared composed, but she knew she was rather frightened. She never panicked when she faced such a scene alone in the past. She could easily handle it because Justin would always take her side no matter what happened.

Quinton was fine even if Renee wasn't that happy. But she must lead a steady life and live beyond a hundred years old. "Quinton, I know I owed the Baldwin family a lot, even if you didn't tell me. I won't be back if not for the sake of their kindness."Renee did not hide or lie even if Justin was around. She merely wanted Justin to hold no hope in her. "How could you be this straightforward?" Quinton had purposely brought Justin along because he wanted to bring Justin and Renee together. He felt that they could still be together since things weren't that hopeless. But the disappointing Renee ruined all possibilities easily. Kindness didn't exist between a romantic couple."It's fine." Justin looked indifferent before he snorted. "I'm glad she made things clear. It's better than being ambiguous.""I'm sorry." Renee looked at Justin. Although she had made herself clear, her guilt did not diminish. She immediately expressed her guilt and helplessness since Justin did not igno
