The Untouchable Ex-Wife

After breakfast, Renee bade Jamie goodbye and returned to Everheart Manor. All the people in the manor were anxiously waiting for her, and when she walked in, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, thank goodness! Ren, where did you go last night?” Leia asked worriedly, looking Renee up and down. "I got drunk last night and went home, and when I came back today, they told me that you were missing. I nearly called the cops!"

Renee slowly entered the manor and laid on the sofa, then said calmly, "I was fine. I just slept in my neighbor's house."

"You slept in your neighbor's house?" The atmosphere immediately grew tense.

Xavier walked over and asked tentatively, "Which neighbor? Is it the house... across from this?"

"Mm." Renee nodded and rubbed her aching head. "Ugh, hangovers are torture. I won't get drunk at night again." Her calmness was confusing everyone there.

"In that case, did you see... any special person?" Leia asked carefully. She figured that the scumbag, Stefan, was probably staying at the manor

opposite Everheart Manor. But if Renee had stayed there and they had met, why was she acting so indifferent? What had really happened over there?

"Yeah, I did." Renee stifled a yawn. "But I could have been imagining it. The house was dark, and the lights weren't on, but it did sound and look like him." Although she was drunk last night, she knew it was him. The man was practically carved into her bones.

"Are you... talking about him?” Justin asked finally, folding his arms over his chest.

"Who else would I be talking about?" Renee looked up and scanned the worried faces before her, then sighed. "If you all must know, I did meet my nominal husband Stefan, the one I'd been searching for."

Everyone was shocked. Stefan's presence was already surprising, but Renee's reaction was even more so.

"What happened then? Did he explain anything? Why was he missing for such a long time?" Justin eagerly asked. Renee's answer would decide if Justin had any chance to be with her, so he wanted to know all the details.

"It's no longer important." Naturally, Renee refused to tell them about the conversation between Stefan and her. She needed to protect her pride- nobody could know she had been cheated on. "All you need to know is that it's over between US." This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

"It's over?" Justin's eyes brightened and he took a Step forward. "Is it really over?" "Yeah." Renee got up and tied her hair up. "Don't you all have anything better to do? Just go to work and leave." Then, she went upstairs, leaving everyone stunned.

"It's finally over." Justin kept muttering, his eyes gleaming in delight.

Xavier glared at him. "What are you so happy about?"

Justin grinned at him. "Why shouldn't I be happy? This is the start of the love story between Renee and I!"
