The Untouchable Ex-Wife

They spoke as if they were going to stay apart forever. It sounded melancholic.

Renee, however, found it amusing.

She turned around and kept going downstairs without pausing. As she almost walked out of the entrance of Hunt Manor, she happened to bump into Timothy.

"Ren?"

Timothy was exercising, clad in sports attire. He stretched his neck and rubbed his eyes, repeatedly trying to ensure he wasn't mistaken.

"It's morning. I'm sure this isn't an illusion. What are you doing back home?"

"Grandpa..." Renee had tried all means to avoid Timothy, but she still failed to do so. She simply walked over and greeted him generously. "I got drunk last night. It was Stefan who took care of me and brought me home. I was about to say hello to you when you woke up."

"So you were the woman last night. I knew it! Stef wouldn't be so stupid and bring another woman home."

When Timothy learned that Renee was the woman Stefan brought home last night, he wasn't very surprised. Besides, he had guessed it last night. He merely pretended to be ignorant to avoid making the rebellious Stefan feel awkward.

He woke up that early to exercise because it was his habit, and he wanted to prove his guess was right. Hence, he purposely tried to see who the woman was by waiting at the entrance.

"Yes, it was silly of me. I'm so sorry. I promise not to do such an awful thing again," Renee said awkwardly.

Once again, alcohol had proven to bring trouble. Now, it had made her look like a shameless, pathetic mistress. She was filled with remorse.

"It hasn't been long, but you've already forgotten about me. Don't be a stranger. Do you take me as a stranger too? Timothy said.

He seemed to be rebuking her.

"Didn't I tell you? No matter how your romance with Stef ends, it won't affect our relationship. You're my granddaughter forever. You also promised to visit me often, but you never came after such a long time. I'm sad..." he continued earnestly.

Rather than being angry at their separation, Timothy was more concerned about Renee's estrangement from him afterward.

In the past, she would always chat with him and have a heart-to-heart talk with him. She would have tea or play chess with him. Yet, she gradually stopped getting in touch with him. It deepened his sadness.

That sadness turned into anger, and he vented it on Stefan. He felt that if Stefan cherished her and missed her, he wouldn't have lost such a great granddaughter-in-law. Then, he would be able to enjoy family happiness with his descendants close to him.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa. Many things happened lately. I wanted to visit you, but I was busy..." Renee sounded guilty. She was truly busy lately, but she had to admit that she inevitably stayed away from the Hunts because of the change in her relationship with Stefan.

She knew that the Hunts were kind to her, and that she shouldn't have fallen out with them because of the divorce. Despite that, her actions and thoughts were not on the same page.

After all, life wasn't a TV drama. It was hard to idealize everything. Something had changed, and it would be very awkward to always try to make it look peaceful.
