The Untouchable Ex-Wife



Stefan did not answer Renee's question immediately, and the silence in the cave made everything more awkward.

Renee wasn't used to being so close to him. She could feel his breathing and the warmth of his body, but it felt like their hearts were far apart. She didn't know what he was thinking. Humiliated and disappointed, she tried to stand up, keeping her distance from Stefan. "Is it that difficult to answer?' Renee huffed angrily. She could accept Stefan's fickleness and insincerity, but she couldn't accept his silence and avoidance when it came to their children.

"What do you want me to do?" After a long silence, Stefan quietly stood up, upset that their romantic moment was cut short. However, he didn't regret his decision to stay away from her-he knew she would suffer less in the future.

"What do you mean? You're their father, but you never thought of how you'd take care of them in the future?' Stefan's casualness infuriated Renee, and she had to stop herself from slapping him. "Are you satisfied just seeing them once in a while like this?"

"It's fine, isn't it?" Stefan asked calmly. "The kids are quite happy to spend time with me."

"How could you!" In her anger, Renee forgot to ask him about their relationship. It was true that the children did get along well with Stefan. Although they hadn't met him for a long time, they didn't see him as a stranger... but Renee did. Whenever she looked at him, it felt like their past romance had gone, and they were just passerbys. "I'm their daddy, and you're their mommy; that's enough for me. As for the two of us, I made myself very clear that night. I don't want to repeat myself." Stefan turned away from Renee, his tone icy.

"The things you said that night..." Renee started at his back and sneered. "I know you've had a change of heart. You're madly in love with Briar and don't want to think about me. Well, I don't want to pester you either, but I find this family arrangement weird. If it goes on, I'm afraid the kids will learn bad things from you. They'll think that romances and families are not important, and that they don't need to be loyal to their partners."

"So, what's your plan?" Stefan paused but did not turn around. "You clearly think I'm not a good role model, so... what do you want to do?"Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"I'll be frank with you." Renee kept her head hung as she said sulkily, "The kids are still young, and they need both parents around. If you don't want to come back... might just find another father for them!"
