Big Novel

The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 1149
"Zzz..."
Hearing the rhythmic snoring, Stefan turned around to find that Renee was fast asleep without a care. Furious, he spun the
steering wheel and jammed his food on the brakes.
As the car came to a screeching halt at the turn on a coastal zone, Renee immediately jolted awake and reached for the car door
handle, looking around in panic, "Argh! What happened?! Was there an earthquake?!"
She saw that the car had stopped by the beach, enveloped in darkness and silence—danger seemed to lurk everywhere.
Meanwhile, Stefan opened the window to let the fresh breeze in, looking up at the starry sky above.
"Carefree, aren't you?" He scoffed flatly as he lit himself a cigarette, exhaling a puff of smoke. "Someone who knew better would
know you're due for punishment, but those who don't would think that you're here to sightsee."
Embarrassed, Renee hastily tidied her appearance and cleared her throat." Sorry I wasn't taking this seriously. Should I be more
worried about not meeting your expectations? If that won't do, I could cry for you again..."
As soon as she said it, she started bawling, "Please, I'm begging you, Mr. Bigshot CEO. Let me go, I won't do it again... Please
don't torture me anymore..."
Stefan breathed another puff of smoke in frustrated silence-she really would be the death of him!
"See? That reaction was fantastic but you refused to play along. How am I supposed to do this?” Renee kept flirting with him, but
the fact that the man refused to play along made things awkward.
One could never cook without ingredients-how was she going to achieve anything if she was forced to match this stoic guy?
"You can shut up now," Stefan growled through the smoke-this woman was brazenly messing around even though her doom was
at hand!
"Fine, you're the boss. You said to shut up, so I'll shut up." Renee reclined against her seat and kept her mouth shut-she had no
choice but to be fully compliant. Maybe if she managed to cajole Stefan, he would not keep harassing her and Jovan, or even
take her to the beach in the middle of the night, just to make her watch him smoke.

The sight of cigarettes certainly tickled her nicotine addiction.
Hence, braving the risk of being kicked out of the car, she asked gingerly," Hey, do you have more? Can I have one?"
Stefan was dumbfounded, but Renee pressed, "It's not like we have anything better to do."
Stefan snorted. "You're outrageous."
He brought her out here to mess with her, and get his revenge for her duplicity... only for her to treat this as a pleasure trip, even
asking if she could have a cigarette!
She shot him a look, and complained, "It's fine if you don't want to give me one. There's no need to be so petty."
And with that, neither spoke as Renee kept watching him smoke, while the atmosphere between them stayed awkward.
Still, Stefan was certain proof that someone up there played favorites. That chiseled, perfect face could give star actors a run for
their money, and his aloofness made his very presence irresistible.
Even as Renee stared at him, she could not help gulping as she restrained herself from leaning in to kiss him!
