"Sheโs not pregnant?" Francine breathed a sigh of relief because her family did not have to be humiliated. "But why did she visit the gynecologist if sheโs not pregnant?" "Well, I canโt talk about this because Iโm afraid that Stefan might get upsetโฆ" Briar looked at Stefan carefully and spoke pretentiously. Stefanโs handsome face was as hard as a stone. "Go on!" he said coldly. "Ummโฆ Iโll tell you the truth thenโฆ" Briar was very satisfied with his reaction, so she continued eagerly, "I didnโt tell you right away after seeing the photograph because I feared a misunderstanding. So, I went to see their attending doctor to get the truth. The doctor told me she wasnโt pregnant, though she was ready to have Mr. Osborneโs child. They got a lot of vitamin Bโฆ "Andโฆ It looks like she canโt get pregnant easily. If a natural pregnancy fails, they may try getting a test-tube baby." Of course, Briar made those things up. She indeed found the attending doctor who was responsible f

Stefan was as handsome and elegant as ever, even though she had not met him for a few days. This was especially true for his long, perfect pair of legsโit appeared that he had recovered very well, with no residual effects to be seen. Renee breathed a sigh of relief. At last, she could relax a little. If it turned out that he was suffering from some hidden illness, she might just be held responsible for it. Consequently, she would not be able to get a divorce. Renee pinned the strands of her hair and cleared her throat. She felt that she should greet him, given that they were a couple. It was better to part on good terms. She waved her hand at him and revealed a fake smile that she thought looked very natural. "Hiโฆ" However, he pursed his thin lips tightly and wore a cold face. He ignored her and strode away with his stork-like legs. He leftโฆ just like that. This left her at a loss for words. Her smile stiffened, and she felt both awkward and angry. โDamn! Why is he so a

However, she regretted it the moment she raised that question. The answer was clear. She was just embarrassing herself. "I want to give you a friendly reminder, too," she insisted stubbornly in an attempt to retrieve some of her dignity. "Briar isnโt the right woman for you. Letโs not talk about her character; the moment she heard that youโd be paralyzed forever, the disdain on her face was obvious. Itโs destined that you guys can share happiness but not sorrow. She only loves the bright and perfect you, not for who you truly are." Stefan said calmly and lightly, "Itโs not important whether she loves me or not. I just want the child to be safe and happy." "Mr. Hunt. Youโre awesome. Now thatโs true love!" Renee was deeply hurt. She felt so ashamed and awkward that she could not show herself. Hmph! Did he love Briar so much that he didnโt care if she loved him, as long as their child was happy? Suddenly, Renee felt lucky that she wasnโt impetuous and told him that she was p

Timothy put down the brush pen and opened the desk drawer while saying these to Renee. Then, he solemnly took out a rosewood box and handed it to Renee.โRen, open it up.โRenee took the box and opened it with care. Inside the box was a medal engraved with a dove of peace and a sword. Renee turned to Timothy with confusion. โGrandpa, is thisโฆโโChild, your grandfather gave me this before he died. This medal was dear to him and symbolized his heroic life. Now, Iโm passing it on to you.โTimothy sighed as he recalled the legendary life of his dearest friend Maurice. โYour grandfather was most worried about you before his death. He repeatedly told me to pass the medal to you four years after your marriage with StefanโฆโโItโs now the fourth year of your marriage. The medal carries your grandfatherโs blessing to you both. Itโll bless you both with a happy ever after marriage!โRenee looked at the gold medal in her hand with teary eyes. It was as if she had traveled beyond life and dea

When Stefan and Renee left the Beach City Courthouse, they went their separate ways as if they would never see each other again. Who knew they would meet again in just a few hours?Without the marriage license restraining them, the way they looked at each other seemed to have changed slightly.Timothyโs old eyes were filled with complicated emotions as his gaze traveled back and forth between the two.โYou two. You just came back from a vacation together. Shouldnโt you be all lovey-dovey? Why did you come to visit me separately? Did you have a fight?โโWeโreโฆโ Renee bit her lips, feeling torn. She was unsure if she should be honest or keep lying.Things were different before they were officially divorced. Renee could forge a lie without feeling the slightest guilt. Besides, she was not trying to deceive him. However, her relationship with Stefan had changed so much that she found herself unable to pretend.โWeโre so in love. How could we ever fight?โ Stefan said calmly and wrap

โHint?โ Renee listened in confusion. She gave Timothy the black pearl in the hopes that it might bring him health and peace. What did she hint at him? How could she not know?โAs soon as I saw the pearl, I thought of how it symbolized fertility and childbirthโฆโTimothyโs face turned grim. He sternly questioned Stefan, who was kneeling on the ground. โYou bastard. Tell me honestly. Are the rumors true? Did you really knock up another woman behind Renโs back?โSince the matter had digressed to this point, Stefan found no reason to hide anymore. Although he was still on his knees, he kept his back straight and said with a cold and firm voice, โNow that you know, I have nothing to say. The child does indeed have the bloodline of the Hunts. It needs a legitimate identity and a competent father.โโYou!โ Timothy held his chest and almost skipped a breath. Then, he slammed his cane on Stefanโs back with no mercy. โYou fool!โThat child needs a legitimate status and respect. What about Ren

The chaos in the room instantly came to a halt. Everyone was staring straight at the little red book.โShit!โRenee quickly crouched down and tried to hide the book. However, it was too late. The divorce certificate was clearly printed on the cover.The message was blaring loudly despite the silence in the room. Stefan and Renee were divorced!โYouโฆ You twoโฆโ Timothy held his chest, looking in pain.โGrandpa!โStefan and Renee both ran to help Timothy at the same time.Timothy, however, shook Stefanโs hand away and chided coldly, โDonโt call me that. I canโt accept it. Youโre all grown up, and youโve stopped listening to me. How dare you sneakily divorce Ren! Are you trying to kill me?!โโIn that case, Iโll do as you wishโฆโ Timothy suddenly pulled open the drawer and took out a loaded pistol. He said with a sad look, โThis gun saved my life many years ago. Renโs grandfather gave it to me. Iโm too ashamed to live anymore. I better go to meet Renโs grandfather and confess!โAfte

The Hunt family memorial chamber housed the altars of the Hunt familyโs ancestors. Kneeling in the memorial chamber was considered the most severe punishment in the family.Stefan remained silent the entire time. He knelt in front of all the ancestral tablets on the cold hard ground with his back covered with whip marks. โSend someone here to watch him. Iโll see how long heโs going to stay without food and water for three days!โ Timothy told Lurch sternly.Lurch was worried about Stefanโs bloody back. โMaster Timothy, he is seriously injured from the whipping,โ he boldly pleaded. โHe wonโt get through three days kneeling without food and water!โTimothy was relentless in his pursuit. โHe agreed that he should receive punishment for this mistake,โ he ruthlessly spat without looking at Stefan.โB-but Mrs. Hunt said she was the one who initiated the divorce. Sheโs in love with someone else now. How is this considered his fault?โโI donโt care!โ Timothyโs stony demeanor remained, th

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
The Untouchable Ex-Wifeย ย ย Chapter 2411
"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

"Iโฆ" 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.""Youโฆ" 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

"Hey, Haze! What are you doing? Get off of me!" Renee struggled in confusion."Hush!" Justin gestured and stopped her.In a while, someone unlocked the door of the room."Mr. Baldwin, let me help you and Ms. Everheart change your clothes." A kind middle-aged woman walked into the room casually. When she found them sleeping together intimately, relief washed over her. "Oh, you guys are still sleepingโฆ Fine, I'll leave you be." Then, the woman exited the room.After that, Justin stopped hovering above Renee, looking awkward. "I'm sorry. It happened all of a sudden. If I hadn't done that, they wouldn't let us go. I just did a small thing to resolve the issue." Justin was fully aware of Austin's thoughts. Although Austin was still angry at Renee, he was satisfied with her and wanted to see her get into a real intimate relationship with Justin. If that did not happen, Austin might tie them up together since the drug had failed. Justin could only act with Renee to avoid the in

Renee grinned, satisfied after a long rest. "Why didn't you sleep a bit longer? This bed is comfortable and fluffy." While talking, she behaved like a fish as she extended her limbs and rolled around in bed childishly. In comparison to her calmness and ease, Justin behaved gingerly and did not dare to move as he lay in bed."Do you have any idea what had happened? We aren't dreaming. We're lying in the same bed," Justin said.He was certain that Renee was not fully awake. It explained why she was that composed. Otherwise, any normal woman would get out of bed with a start and keep screaming if they found herself lying in a man's bed."I know!" Renee said. After having a great time rolling around, Renee faced Justin with her head on her arm while lying on her side. "I wanted to drink wine to say sorry to you guys last night, but your family drugged the wine. You drank the same wine when you tried to stop me. We were controlled by the drug and were locked up in this room. T

Renee instantly understood what Justin meant by that. It turned out that the incident was just a part of the Baldwin family's plan. If she left, the Baldwin family would not easily let her off the hook.Justin still cared about her at a time like that, which moved her. "Thank you. You're great." Renee cried; she had no idea how to repay him. "You don't have to thank me. I'm not so great, either. I just hate that they always pester me." Justin purposely sounded relaxed. He finally calmed himself down as he casually grabbed some bandages to bandage his wound. Then, he lay in bed.He slept on one side of the bed and said to Renee, "It's late. You should rest early. This bed is large enough. If you don't mind, you can lie in bed too."The bed was large. It was more than enough even if Renee and Justin lay there."Iโฆ" Renee hesitated briefly before she finally got in bed. She trusted Justin. If he wanted to do something indecent to her, he would have long done that. He would no

"I don't know how to tell you. I'm sure you can understand." Renee could not bring herself to say more because it was a humiliating privacy. She might as well keep it to herself."Let me guessโฆ" Justin's gaze grew sharp as he went straight to the point. "The man in your story is Stefan, isn't it?" Silence washed over Renee as she kept her head bowed. It was a silent approval.Justin burst into reckless laughter, which was scary. He looked down at his cut wound and laughed pathetically. "This is why he could make you fall in love with him, and I couldn't. I'm too cultured compared to him.""Don't say that, Haze!"Seeing how defeated Justin was, Renee became uneasy. "It isn't written in the stars for us. Plus, I've fallen in love with Stefan a long time ago before I even got to know you. I also rely on him physically and psychologically. I can't control my feelings. It's not something we can change. Weโฆ" "Stop!" Heartbroken, Justin pushed away everything in front of him and s
