The Unbreakable Ex-Wife Novel Chapter 169 – Renee called for a cab and waited at the curb of the villa, her body swaying occasionally.
At some point, Stefan had followed her out, and his hand wrapped around her thin wrist. There was concern in his eyes as he asked, “You don’t look well. What’s wrong?”
“I’m pissed at your little mistress!” Renee replied instantly. She wanted to shake the man’s hand off, but she felt too weak, and she couldn’t muster up the strength to do it.
“Are you okay? Do you need me to send you to the hospital?” Stefan didn’t feel comfortable leaving Renee alone and was fully prepared to get his car.
“I don’t need your false sympathy!” Renee shot back. Stefan was a hypocrite, and she didn’t give him a second glance and sneered.
“If you’re really ashamed, then you should advise your lover and get her to apologize to me on her knees, or the consequences will be even direr! Either way, I’ll be pursuing this matter to the end. I won’t let her off so easily!”
The words were imposing, but because she said it weakly, it sounded more like a rant without any killing intent. “That’s fine, do whatever you want. It’s your right. Just let me get you to the hospital first.” Stefan said, attempting to coax Renee like a three–year–old. 1
He held her shaky body and gently started to lead her in the direction of his sports car. “I told you it’s none of your business! Let go of me!” Renee exclaimed, struggling stubbornly with slight dampness in her eyes.
She felt aggrieved. She had clearly been the victim here, but this man was defending Briar for no proper reason, making her look as though she was aggressive and vicious.
So. Stefan’s sudden tenderness had broken down her defenses. Regardless, Stefan seemed to still have some conscience, so he wasn’t a complete lost cause.
The two were slowly walking toward his car when his phone suddenly rang. It was one of the two policemen who had taken Briar away. “Mr. Hunt… Y–you have to come to the station right away! Something happened to Miss Desrosiers, and we don’t know what to do!”
Stefan’s face turned hard, and he asked chillingly, “What happened?” “Miss Desrosiers said her stomach hurt, so we wanted to send her to the hospital, but she… she refused! She said she wanted to see you first. It’s very urgent. Please hurry!”
The policeman spoke loudly, and Renee could hear the conversation clearly. “I got it.” Stefan hung up and released Renee’s waist. He turned to look at Renee with his dark eyes, and even though not a word was exchanged, his meaning was clear.
Renee silently laughed at herself. What had she been expecting? How naive must she have been to even expect anything from this man! She waved her hand dismissively. “What are you waiting for? Your lover is waiting for your rescue!”
“Can you manage on your own?” Stefan was still obviously concerned, and it showed in his eyes. “Does it matter? I’ve been doing it for four years, let alone now.” Renee replied coldly with an indifferent look.
Her heart had long since shattered into thousands of pieces, and it was now numb. Whatever choice Stefan made would do little to move her.
To him, Renee was an existence so insignificant that she could be tossed aside whenever it was convenient! Just then, the cab she had called arrived, so she got into the vehicle without looking back.
When the car drove past Stefan, she stared ahead and didn’t spare the man another glance. Stefan watched the car with a sullen face as it shrunk into the distance. It was a long time before he finally averted his eyes.
When Renee arrived at Everheart Residence, located west of the city, it was already late at night. The cab driver had heard rumors that the place was haunted, and he didn’t dare drive all the way in, leaving Renee about one kilometer away from the house.
Her abdomen didn’t hurt as much as before, but it was still uncomfortable. She slowly lumbered home, feeling as though she would collapse with every step she took.
Margaret had been waiting outside for a long time, keeping an eye out for her. She rushed forward, sick with worry, the moment she saw Renee on the ground at the gates. “Miss Ren? Miss Ren! What’s wrong?!”
