The Untouchable Ex-Wife

“What happened?” Stefan called out as he hung up the phone and went straight to the bathroom door.

Just as he was about to open the door, he heard Renee’s panicked voice coming from inside, “I’m fine. Don’t come in!

And a series of loud banging sounds followed afterward.

It doesn’t seem like she was fine.

After moments of hesitation, he pushed the door and entered.

“Ah! Who told you to come in? Get out!”

Renee was standing up in the bathtub. She quickly wrapped a towel around her naked body when she saw that he had entered. Although her movements were quick, he still saw her body.

He froze in place and swallowed harshly, feeling his lips turn dry.

He hadn’t known that she was so stunning!

He wondered why it had taken him so long to realize that he had been living with a hidden treasure for the previous four years.

After a while, he finally calmed down. Only then did he realize that the clothes on the rack had fallen, which meant Renee’s clothes and towel had dropped into the tub, and the towel she used to wrap herself in was dripping wet.

“Do you need help?” he calmly asked her. [1

She looked very seductive, standing before him with a wet towel wrapped around her body.

“What do you think?” Renee said, clearly embarrassed with how red her face was.

‘Does this man know no boundaries? Does he think it’s appropriate to come in when I’m naked? If it weren’t for the towel, I would have dug a hole and hid in there forever!’ she thought embarrassingly to herself.

“It seems like you’re in a pinch. How do you want me to help you?” Stefan asked as he approached her, his face filled

with concern.

“D-don’t come near me! That’s the biggest help you can give me!” She stuttered and immediately backed away. In her panic, she didn’t see that she had reached the edge where she tripped and was about to fall flat on her back. 1

“Watch out!” Stefan called out and reacted quickly.

His long arms reached out and wound around her slender waist before they both fell into the water. Their bodies were pressed closely together, and it seemed very intimate. 2

They could feel each other’s body temperature and their beating hearts underneath the thin layer of clothes.

Stefan gazed at Renee underneath him.

This was the first time he observed her up close..

Her eyes were brilliant and piercing. They seemed gentle and docile, yet there was a hint of mystery.

Red flushes grew like roses on her delicate cheeks, captivating his heart.

“How long are we going to keep this position? My legs are numb!” she asked awkwardly as her arms wrapped around

his neck.

Instantly, Stefan returned to his senses. His expression was indifferent, but his movements were gentle as he pulled out from the tub. Then, he turned around like a gentleman and said, “I’ll get your clothes.”

“No. It’s fin-.”

Before she could finish her words, he had left.

At this point, she doesn’t care anymore. After all, they had been intimate before, and she was having his children, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about anymore.

Renee sat by the tub and wrapped herself in the wet towel while waiting for him to return.

Stefan went into the bedroom. After taking her nightgown, he wanted to leave, but a jewelry box caught his attention.

The box was programmed to open automatically. There were few items inside, and they weren’t very pricey.

The only item that stood out was a peach-shaped crystal necklace that looked just like the one auctioned off at the charity event.

‘Is the real product? But why would she have the necklace that the king of Asken customized for his daughter?’ he

wondered to himself.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He was now more curious about his obedient wife and how many secrets she kept that he didn’t know about.

At this time, Elijah called him again. (1)

“Did they talk? Who’s the mastermind?”

Though his voice was calm, it was obvious that Stefan was eager for the information…

“No.” Elijah took a long breath before continuing, “The police just informed me that they’re dead. They took their own lives.”

“Shit!” Stefan furrowed his brows and cursed.

He was close to finding the mastermind, but now the lead was gone!

He said coldly, “Keep looking into this. I must find out who killed Tristan!”

After he said that, he paused and added, “Get me information on Renee. Whether it’s disclosed or not, I want it all.”

“Huh? You want Mrs. Hunt’s information?” Elijah repeated, clearly confused.

“They have been married for four years, and only now does Stefan ask for Renee’s information. Isn’t it too late?’ Elijah thought to himself.
