Big Novel

The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 1532
Stefan returned to Everheart Manor right after the minute the meeting was over. He used to be a workaholic who always worked
overtime until midnight, but now he was a good family man who didn't want to work overtime for even a minute. Since the
president behaved that way, all his staff stopped working overtime too, creating a very good working environment for the
company.
On his way home, Stefan bought a bouquet and a good steak because he wanted to have a candlelight dinner with Renee that
night. Although he was away for only half a day, it felt like half a year to him, and he missed Renee dearly. Coincidentally, Abby
and Adie were away for two days because of a school trip, so Renee was alone at home with a female caretaker called Tess
Perez, who was responsible for taking care of Renee.
Mr. Hunt, you're home." Tess was only a part-timer, so once Stefan got back, she packed up to leave.
Stefan looked around the living room and the manor, but there was no sight of Renee. He turned to Tess and whispered,
"Where's Renee?"
"She's sleeping in the bedroom because she was tired. Do you need my help to get her downstairs?"
"No, it's fine. Thank you for today," Stefan spoke gently.
"Okay, Mr. Hunt. I'll see you tomorrow." Tess nodded, then left the manor.
Stefan and Renee were now the only ones left in the spacious manor, but Stefan didn't want to wake Renee up. He put the
flowers down and went to the kitchen to grill the steak. He had finally gotten some alone time with her, and he wanted to make it
special for her. He cooked the steak until it was medium rare, then removed it from the pan and sprinkled it with pepper. After
that was done, he got a bottle of good wine and poured the wine into a decanter.
"Why are you so romantic tonight, Mr. Hunt?"
Stefan heard Renee's voice from behind him, and immediately turned around. She was leaning against the door of the kitchen in
her pajamas, a mischievous smile on her face. "Why did you come down? I'm not done yet."
"I missed you, so I couldn't wait any longer..." Renee walked over to Stefan and hugged his waist from behind, saying softly, "You
used to love eating the steak I made for you back then, but every candlelight dinner only felt awkward because we weren't in
love. We love each other now but I can't see such a romantic scene. It's such a pity... We're always one step behind."

"Silly, it isn't important whether you see it or not. What's important is that our hearts are together. I can make you a candlelight
dinner every day if you want. This is the kind of romance that you can feel."
"That's true. I smelled the flowers you bought and felt the warmth of the candles. I can even taste the steak. This is already
enough for me. Any more and I'll get scared of losing this bliss."
It was very easy for people to grieve when they were very happy because of the fear that the happiness might fade. That fear
never left Renee. Yes, her days were warm but they felt unreal, and she always wondered when she would fall back into that
dark abyss.
"Stop overthinking. I'm right here, and I'm not going anywhere." After getting the meal ready, Stefan led Renee back to the dining
table.
