The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 629
Renee's expression was grave as she stood before Timothy.
The old man looked up at her innocently. "What do you mean? I’ve just finished reading the news."
Renee pursed her lips. "You can drop the act, Grandpa. There’s no way you would have been able to read in the dark, and
besides... your newspaper is upside down."
Renee raised an eyebrow at him expectantly.
"Hmm... I..." The old man mumbled in embarrassment and adjusted the newspaper. Refusing to admit defeat, he just went along
with it. "Since I'm farsighted. I'm accustomed to reading things upside down. This is actually the easiest way for me to read.'
"Is that right? I don't believe you.' Renee was initially upset, but couldn't help giggling at the old man's antics.
Seeing her laugh, he gently laid down the newspaper and said, "Ren, don't blame us for doing that... We just want you back.
Unfortunately, like me, you have no acting talent. Your little performance earlier might have been enough to deceive Francine,
but it's not enough to fool me."
Renee sighed and said softly, "Grandpa Hunt, you were married before, so you know how it should be. I used to adore Stefan,
but many years have passed, and my feelings for him have faded. I'm sure Stefan feels the same way. How can two people with
no affection for each other marry?"
"Child, you have no understanding of Stefan or yourself. You two have feelings for each other, but..."
"Grandpa Hunt, you don't have to say anything - I've already made up my mind. Please inform Francine that if something like this
happens again, she should not blame me for being disrespectful to her."
With that, Renee turned around and walked away. That was Renee - either she didn't make a choice, or she made one and
never looked back. Even if she did have regrets, she would keep moving forward.
Plus, she never had any regrets!
Timothy sighed in the living room after Renee had gone. He glared at the corner of the stairs and said, "She's gone. Stop hiding
and come out!’

Stefan emerged from behind the stairs. His attractive face was frigid, and dissatisfaction was written all over it.
"Did you hear what Ren said?"
"Yes."
"Do you regret your actions? She has no intention of reconciling with you. You were determined to divorce back then, so will you
put your pride aside now and get her back?"
"Who says I want to get her back?" Stefan stuffed his hands in his pockets and said arrogantly.
"What? Are you prepared to let her go then? Did you forget that you've been sobbing every night for the last four years?"
Timothy's comments injured Stefan's pride, and he scowled. "Grandpa, I told you not to bring that up. I wasn't crying because of
her; I was crying because I was watching a depressing movie. Can you and Mom stop destroying my image?"
"What do you have to be embarrassed about? When I courted your grandmother, and your father courted your mother, we used
the same strategies. If I were you, I would have begged on my knees, sobbed to her, and apologized a million times over to
make her return. What do you intend to do about your relationship with Ren? Are you sure you want to give it up?"
Stefan's stare was intense and serious. "Love cannot be forced. If she no longer loves me, the only way to win her back... is to
make her fall in love with me again!"
