The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Apparently, the person giving him CPR wasn’t Renee, who he initially expected. Instead, it was one of the members of the rescue team, a tanned burly man.

“Damn it!” Stefan immediately leaped from the ground, pushing the burly man harshly and forcing him ten feet away.

Seeing this, Renee was overwhelmed with glee. “Oh my god, you’re alive, Stefan Hunt! Thank the stars!”

“Did you do that on purpose, Everheart?!” Stefan looked exceedingly disgusted as he wiped his mouth over and over using the back of his hand.

He thought to himself, ‘That was so humiliating! I cant believe that I, Stefan Hunt, was tricked! I cannot accept this. I won’t let this damn brat off so easily!’

However, Renee was clueless about Stefan’s intentions from the start. She truly believed that the man needed CPR and went out of her way to find the best professional around them.

Seeing how energetic the man seemed, Renee was genuinely happy that he was no longer in critical condition. She instinctively gave him a big hug, whimpering. “Thank god, Stefan Hunt! You’re alive! You really are a tough cookie, just like Christopher said!”

Stefan’s rage was instantly replaced with calmness as he felt the woman’s soft touch. Not just that, but she really was expressing concern toward him. It was rather hard for him to get mad at her at this point…

Unfamiliar with this version of Renee, who seemed to care about his wellbeing a lot, Stefan cleared his throat and joked around with her.

“If you’re so scared of me dying, why would you say you’d never shed a tear for me if I did? You little liar.”

The man’s words snapped Renee back to reality, which made her let go of him, keeping her distance. “You don’t even cherish your own life! Of course, I wouldn’t cry over your death.”

“But these tear streaks…” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“I just got some sand in my eyes, that’s all!’

“And what about your dress? It’s drenched. Did you try to dive in to save me?“

“That’s… I just like walking by the seaside! What does that have anything to do with you?” Renee refused to admit just how much she worried about the man.

Stefan seemed to have understood this and nodded gently. As if he was trying to comfort her, he said, ’Alright, alright, I know you don’t care. Then you shouldn’t be too worried if anything like this happens again. Just know that I will come back safely, no matter what.“

“Again?!” Renee frowned deeply, as if she had just heard something absurd, and slapped the man across the face.

She then warned him, shoving her fist in front of his face. “Just die if you dare to act so recklessly again! Then you won’t make anyone else worry about you anymore!”

“Worry?’ Stefan smiled as he questioned back. “Didn’t you say you don’t care about me?”

This time, Renee was unable to come up with a proper reply. It was obvious. She clearly hadn’t moved on from the man yet, no matter how much she wanted to deny it. Her entire being was constantly worrying about him. She never wanted anything bad to happen to him.

She then tried convincing herself that she was worrying about him for her children’s sake, as he was still their father at the end of the day.

The light breezes seemed to carry the smell of romance surrounding the two as they silently understood what the other was really thinking…

Just then, news about Cecilia had finally arrived. “She’s awake! Miss Smith is finally awake!”

Giving each other a glance, Stefan and Renee also went over to take a look.

Cecilia seemed to have ingested too much water, so she was unconscious for quite some time. After the rescue team did their best to save her, she was finally able to vomit the seawater and regain her breathing.

Although she was laying in Christopher’s arms, her eyes darted wildly around the crowd, as if she was looking for a certain someone.
