Chapter 32
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âWith who now?â Renee couldnât understand a single thing Leia was saying. She didnât really take Leiaâs screaming seriously, since she had always been quite dramatic.
âWith Stefan Hunt!â Leia screeched. âGirl, if you really slept with him, Iâm going to be so disappointed in you I know I used to support the two of you, but that cretin crossed the line! Didnât you say you wanted to âdivorce him? How could you sleep with him?!â
Leia was only angry out of concern for her best friend. She didnât want Renee to get hurt again.
âWho said I did that?â Renee felt awkward, realizing Leia mustâve watched the livestream from last night.â It was all just for show. Sure, we might have kissed, but I also got to slap him as compensation.â
Renee didnât find the kiss much of a sacrifice, as it was great being able to slap Stefan across the face.â Damn, that felt so satisfying!â
âOh, so you slapped him⦠Nice one, Ren!â Leia exclaimed, then turned serious again. âBut thatâs still not a good enough reason to sleep with him! Be honest with me though, did you really not sleep with him last. night? You were seen heading home together⦠Wait, is he next to you right now?!â
âEw, Leia, donât be ridiculous!â Renee scoffed, but she didnât remember heading home with Stefan at all⦠Thatâs why she was speechless when she saw the pictures published in the article that Leia sent.
The pictures made it seem like the both of them had returned to Sunup Residence. Although they werenât exactly heading in together, it looked like Stefan had reached the place no more than ten minutes after her.
Sunup Residence was where she was currently staying. It had only two units, and Liam had personally chosen the location for her. The woman had never revealed her address to anyone else, as she had always cherished her privacy.
Thus, there was only one possibility: Stefan was stalking her.
âThat jerk!â Renee felt chills run down her spine.
After ending the call with Leia, she immediately dialed Stefanâs number to confront him.
âWhy are you calling?â Stefanâs husky voice sounded rather surprised.
However, Renee wasnât in any mood to speak calmly, and immediately started to yell. âStefan Hunt, how disgusting can you get? Do you really have that much time on your hands? How are you any different from a perverted predator?! You know, I absolutely hate it when someone plays mind games with me! Weâre divorcing soon, so stop pestering me! If you keep this up, Iâll have no choice but to call the cops!â
Stefan frowned, responding coldly, âWhat on Earth are you talking about?â
âStop acting like you donât know!â Renee gritted her teeth. âWhy were you following me last night? The news article mentioned that you didnât leave Sunup Residence, even after an entire night! Are you still hiding somewhere? Are you trying to spy on me?! Iâve finally seen your true colors, Hunt! That elegance, coldness, and modesty is all fake! Youâre just a pervert through and through!â
âYouâre at Sunup Residence?â Stefan ignored her insults, focusing on her words instead.
âStop pretending!â Renee clenched her fists tightly. This man is as stubborn as a mule! Why is he still pretending when heâs already been exposed?!
Ding dong! Ding dong!
Suddenly, the doorbell chimed brightly, and the woman figured it was the takeout she had ordered earlier.
Hanging up, Renee rushed over to the door, still in her pajamas. To her shock, instead of the delivery guy, Stefan was standing right, on her doorstep.
âOh my god, you pervert! What is your problem? You were waiting here all along?! Iâll call the cops right now!â Renee never expected Stefan to be crazy enough to stay in front of her home for the whole night.
âThis is borderline creepy!â
The manâs tall figure stood there, his face completely expressionless. âI like your pajamas, but theyâre a bit too loose around the chest. Be careful, or you might accidentally flash someone.â
âHey!â Reneeâs face flushed red as she covered her chest with her arms immediately. She had only ever worn these pajamas to sleep. It was a loose tank top with a lace around the hem. If she wasnât careful, it would be quite easy for her to have a wardrobe malfunction.
âYou donât have to cover yourself, weâre still legally married,â he reminded her indifferently.
âShut it! Donât you dare look!â Renee took a deep breath, balling up her fists once more. âTell me the truth: Why are you stalking me? Why are you here?â
