The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei
Chapter 2033

"Here you go." Stefan handed Renee a glass of water.

"Thank you!" Renee accepted it without hesitation and gulped it down quickly.

The refreshing and cold feeling sobered her up.

However, because of her body's inertia, she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

After placing the glass down, she said casually, "Thank you, darling.

You're the best." Then, she lay in bed again and closed her eyes to doze back to sleep.

"What did you...call me?" In the dark, Stefan paused and watched her in bed.

Her words had flattered him deeply.

Never had he imagined she would address him that way again, especially after he did such terrible things to her and harmed her.

Many times, he told himself that everything was over-they would never return to being a married couple.

He might never again hear her call him darling so sweetly and softly, nor would she rely on him wholeheartedly.

Yet now, he experienced it again.

An unspeakable and complicated feeling gripped Stefan.

He was both happy and sad.

The feeling was akin to getting bestowed the last radiance of the sun while on the verge of death.

Though he was filled with energy again, he knew that Renee acted this way because of the alcohol.

Renee might be drunk, and couldn't tell between reality and dream.

She was probably still in a dream.

They might be living together in her dream, or another parallel world.

There wouldn't be so many obstacles between them.

They could resolve all difficulties and live together simply because they were in love.

Unfortunately, he was still too timid to face everything in this world.

He wasn't afraid of getting hurt; rather, he feared seeing Renee hurt.

He would choose the one that would cause the least hurt.

To avoid any harm to both of them, he chose the path where they would be separated.

"Oh, darling!" Renee closed her eyes as she held a large part of the blanket.

She sounded sleepy as she complained, "What's wrong with you? Why aren't you in bed? I told you not to work overtime.

Why do you want to make so much money? You just need to enjoy your life with Adie, Abby, and me." Renee, in a trance, seemed to be living in a time when she was still with Stefan. She always went to bed before Stefan.

On the contrary, Stefan was a workaholic who was never satisfied with his duties.

Every day, he would work until late at night.

After he was done and went to bed, he would disturb her, who was sound asleep.

She would then complain rudely about him since she was already fast asleep.

It was as if they had traveled through time, and were back to the past-when they were still lovey-dovey, living together as a happy family of four...

"I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

1 should've cherished every moment

and be with you and the kids stefan murmured

Stefan knew Renee was in a trance from being drunk, but he didn't correct her.

Instead, he played his part well and behaved like usual.

He tried to comfort her.

"Be good.

When I'm done with this project, I'll

bring you and the kids back tosun

I love diving! You can't lie to me." Renee kept her eyes closed as she smiled sweetly

She sounded very eager.

Stefan patted Renee's back and said gently, "Yes, I promised.

Just go to sleep."
