The Untouchable Ex-Wife

“1…”

Briar stammered in slight awkwardness.

She did like Stefan very much, but she liked him only when he was perfect and high-spirited. If he was a good-for-nothing who was paralyzed in bed, she would not even give him a glance, let alone marry him.

Renee became slightly annoyed when she saw that reaction.

She felt like Briar was being picky and disdainful toward the treasure she had cherished for so many years, so she immediately protected him. She sneered. “Miss Desrosiers, didn’t you claim that what you had with Mr. Hunt was true love? Why are you hesitant now?

“Mr. Hunt is so awesome. Even if he’s paralyzed, his complexion, figure, and temperament are exceptional. If you wouldn’t marry him, many people would. He’s the famous Stefan Hunt. It’s not up to you to be choosy!”

Being criticized, Briar was at a loss, and she went as white as a sheet. “I-I… I didn’t mean that. I just…”

Stefan, however, looked composed as he raised his charming brows. “It’s fine. I can

understand.”

Renee inevitably shook her head and sighed while looking at him and patting his shoulders pitifully. “Take it easy. People are all very pragmatic.”

‘He’s indeed mean, but he has such a difficult love life,’ she thought.

‘His first love ran away with his elder brother, and he got a schematic homewrecker under the pressure of the world. However, she’d run away the minute difficulties befell him.

‘How pitiful! Many women love you, but few are willing to share your pain and sorrows, save for me.

‘Of course, that was in the past.

‘I’m enlightened now, and I’ll never go back to him!’

“You jinx! Shut up!”

Francine, who had calmed down, lost her mind. Completely unhinged, she threw herself at Renee with every last ounce of strength. “You jinxed woman! I knew that Stef would get into trouble with you around. My family has never been peaceful since he married you!

“Tristan is dead, and now Stefan is paralyzed. It’s all your fault. I’ll kill you, even if I’ve got to risk my life, in exchange for some peace for my family!”

As she spoke, she picked up the vase on the table and tried to smash it on Renee’s head.

Renee didn’t expect she’d witness Francine’s deranged behavior. Since she couldn’t escape reduce harm by shielding her head with both hands.

However, the vase did not fall on her head as expected, for she was protected by a warm

embrace… Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Renee carefully raised her head and surprisingly saw Stefan’s extremely cold face.

“Mom, this vase is very heavy. Put it down.”

Stefan shielded Renee with one arm while blocking the vase that his mother smashed on Renee with the other. He then spoke coldly. 1

Francine widened her eyes exaggeratedly, and she shed tears of joy. “Stef… You… You’re not paralyzed. You stood up!”

Stefan remained cold and stated expressionlessly, “How am I supposed to get paralyzed?”

“That’s wonderful! There’s divine justice, and God won’t be so cruel to my family. You scare

me so much!”

Francine wiped her tears and started talking nonsense.

She might not be a good mother-in-law, but she was a good mother. No one could trump her

love for Stefan.

Briar’s expression changed quickly. When she confirmed that Stefan was standing there unscathed, handsome, and upright as before, she burst into tears. “Stefan, I know that you won’t make me worry. That was a terrifying joke. Don’t make such a joke again. It’ll worry me sick. You have no idea how much my baby was moving just now!”

Renee, still in Stefan’s arms, pushed him away harshly with all her might…
