The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei
Chapter 2050

"Ahhhh!" Edith screamed, terrified by the painful blow.

Timothy immediately stopped, feeling pained for Renee. "Ren, why... Why did you do this?! You took the blow for this bastard!"

Stefan was so stunned, he couldn't feel any pain. He stared at Renee, his emotions in turmoil. "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." Renee shook her head, pretending that it was nothing. In truth, she had a feeling her left shoulder was broken. The pain was excruciating.

"Why did you do that?" Stefan grabbed her shoulders, intent on inspecting her wound. He knew personally how painful Timothy's blow was. Renee must have been terribly hurt!

"I have nothing better to do, that's why. Happy?' Renee glared at Stefan grumpily, pulling away from him. She didn't want him touching her.

"You'd better go now," Stefan said, flexing his fingers. He didn't want to be a burden to her, and he had no idea how long he could hold himself back.

The longer he was with her, the more he could see how wonderful and precious she was. He feared he might fail to hold on, and then try to get back with her again. Doing that would invalidate his sacrifices and everything he suffered for.

"Save that. I'll go now," Renee snapped.

Stefan's coldness was beyond her expectations. She didn't expect him to drive her away so heartlessly. Her heart grew cold with disappointment.

"You need to get it straight. I stayed just to spend some time with Grandpa. It wasn't because of you. I did that just because I was worried Grandpa might be too agitated. It'd be bad for his health. It had nothing to do with you. Stop flattering yourself and think you're so attractive,' she spat icily.

Renee wasn't stubborn. She blocked the blow for Stefan because she was worried that Timothy's agitation might affect his health. After all, he was suffering from heart disease. If anything happened to him because of this, the guilt would crush her forever.

When she pondered over her actions, however, she could see it was inappropriate. It seemed like she was trying to protect Stefan, as if she was trying to get on his good side.

"You're asking for it!" Timothy yelled. "Is the beating nothing to you? How could you say such a heartless thing to Renee? ......"

He was about to continue beating Stefan, but Edith quickly stopped him.

"Master, please calm down," she said. "If you keep hitting him, Ms. Everheart will block it again. You'll be hitting her instead. Just stop, even if it's for her sake."

Her words were effective, as Timothy immediately stopped and turned to criticize Stefan. His words were harsh and filled with anger.

"Well, Grandpa, I think breakfast is over. I need to go now, I have something to do," Renee said.

Listening to Timothy's outburst made her feel as if she too was forced to bear the brunt of his anger. She wanted nothing more than to leave.

Just as she was about to leave, however, she saw the guard trying to stop a familiar figure at the entrance of the living room.

"Sir, please calm down!" the guard was saying. "We can talk it out. Regardless of who you want to see, I must inform it first. Please calm down."

"Shut up!"
