The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 1120
Seraphina maintained her calm and combined bits and pieces of some incidents before she debated right and wrong with Stefan.
"Is... Is that so?"
Stefan's deep-set eyes flickered with a mix of wrath, unwillingness, hatred, and doubt.
This truth vastly differed from the truth he had imagined. For a moment, he couldn't accept it.
"If you trust me, this is the truth. If you don't, you can ask her about it."
Seraphina stated with absolute certainty.
Her statement was flawless. Even she was almost convinced of its truth, let alone Stefan.
Besides, she had Francine as a witness who confirmed those things.
"That'll be unnecessary..."
Stefan slowly clenched his fingers and said coldly, "She had long admitted to it, but I was just unwilling to believe her."
He stubbornly thought that there must be some secrets in it. Why would such a wicked woman take her blood to use as an
ingredient for his medicine?
Now it seemed the truth was just that simple. She simply tried to atone for her sins after she harmed him. She was just troubled
by a guilty conscience.
'No, Renee, you can't fool me that easily. Since you dared to offend me, you can’t leave just like that.'
Renee leaned against the window and looked at the street that was rich with the scent of spring. She fell into silence.
Jovan had long noticed her gloominess. As for the reason, it was indeed very obvious.
"If you can't bear to part with him, we can postpone it and leave the hospital after a period. I'm fine with it."
With his eyes closed, he cracked a faint smile and pretended to say casually.
Renee turned to look at the calm man. She did not understand his meaning.

"What nonsense! I... What am I reluctant to part with?'
Even she felt guilty when she made that remark.
She could rely on her reason to suppress how much she missed him, but she could never eliminate it. It was a feeling that had
been ground into her bones.
She admitted that she did care about Stefan. Not even once did she manage to forget about him.
If she did not see him, she could stop missing him.
But now that she met him, the dormant feelings were ignited and, before long, burned fervently in her heart.
"You don't have to hide it. Of course. I'm aware of your thoughts. Well... I never truly yearn to gain your heart. To me, getting you
is already a grand victory. So, you don't have to lie to me. You can just be yourself,' Jovan said freely.
He was not stubborn. He was not so overbearing that he would shamelessly occupy her heart after he'd gotten the better of her.
"Okay, I gave up. I... I'm a bit reluctant to part with him. But don't worry. It's not a big problem. I can hold it back."
Renee stopped hiding it and generously admitted to it. At the same time, she held Jovan's hand. It gave him a great sense of
security.
Jovan did not comment much on that before he said to the driver, "We should be near the antique shop on South Street soon.
Stop there for a while. I want to get something."
"What is it?"
"I told you, it's a surprise for you. It'll be meaningless if I tell you in advance.
Jovan kept up his mysterious demeanor, keeping her in suspense.
