The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Renee tried to explain. “Grandpa, actually, last night...”
“You don’t have to say anything more, you don’t have to be so shy about it either. You’re both youngsters after all, even if
something did happen between the two of you, it’s completely normal. I may be old, but I’m not that conservative. I understand.”
Timothy was grinning widely as he cleared his throat.
“It’s good that the little punk finally came to his senses. This morning, he even told me that you needed lots of rest after last
night, so I shouldn’t disturb you. He said you could sleep till whatever time you liked.”
Renee blushed, her voice panicked. “Grandpa Timothy, you’ve misunderstood. Nothing happened between us last night, we-“
“Nothing happened? And yet... you’ve slept in his bed the whole night.” The old man grinned at her cheekily.
“Well... He... He didn’t lay in bed with me. He was probably building his lego spaceship, so we really didn’t...” The more Renee
tried to explain, the more guilty she looked.
“Oh child, I understand, alright? Don’t be so shy now. And... I think it’s time that you stop playing games with him.” Timothy
sighed deeply and patted Renee on the shoulder, his expression serious this time.
“Grandpa Timothy, what do you mean by that?” Renee didn’t quite understand what he was trying to imply.
“How could you not understand me with that smart mind of yours?” The old man shook his head, pity on his wrinkled face.
“Ren, we know that Stefan wronged and hurt you in the past, but don’t you think you’ve hurt him just as much? You’ve put him
through so much torture throughout these years, so are you still not satisfied? I just think it’s time to settle down now, alright?”
Timothy sighed deeply.
“You know, that grandson of mine confided in me for the first time last night. He said he felt miserable, he had tried doing
everything to win you back, but nothing was working. I couldn’t help but sympathize with him, since I am his grandfather after all.”
“I know you still love him... Somewhere in your heart, I know you do. So, please listen to me and stop all of this. Don’t chase him
away, or you might regret it again.”
After hearing Timothy’s words, Renee froze up, but soon found the entire situation quite humorous.
“Grandpa Timothy, you know I’ve always respected you, because I thought you were a fair and just person. But it looks like
you’re still somewhat biased towards your own grandson. I can tell you with the utmost certainty that his ‘misery’ is all just an act

to push the blame onto me, so that I become the villain in this story... In my opinion, he’s nothing but a heartless and shameless
prick! How could I possibly still hold love for someone like that?!”
Timothy was able to understand his grandson’s misery and helplessness even more now. It was simply despairing to realize that
someone who once loved you wholeheartedly had given up on you completely. It was especially painful when you had developed
feelings for them as well, only to realize that it was too late because you didn’t cherish them from the beginning...
“Ren, whatever you say now doesn’t matter, but I really hope you are telling the truth. Don’t act as if you don’t care when you
really do on the inside. When you’ve really missed the chance to pursue what your heart desires, you will only hurt yourself the
most.” Timothy’s gaze was sad as he looked at her.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa, I’ve always been an honest girl. My love for Stefan Hunt died the moment we got a divorce. I’m not trying
to play games with him either – I really want to cut ties with him so that we can find our happiness on our own,” Renee replied
calmly.
“Alright, alright, I won’t try to convince you otherwise. Ah, it’s just a shame that my grandson’s sincere efforts are going to waste!”
“Relax, Grandpa, your grandson is just playing the victim here. All that sincerity is just a facade! It’s to hide his bad intentions! He
probably just felt annoyed that you kept urging him to get married, which is why he made you turn to me instead!” Renee huffed.
She figured that she could basically read the man’s mind by now after spending all those years married to him.
“So, this thing that he told me to give you the moment you wake up... Would this be considered bad intentions on his end too?”
Timothy asked softly as he told the maid to bring over the Rainbow Glaze that Renee had wanted.
The woman was absolutely shocked to see the beautiful relic, and was unable to take her eyes off of it for quite some while.
‘Hunt is just... going to give this to me? But why?’
