The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei
Chapter 121

Chapter 121

Old Mr. Hunt remained silent for a long time after watching Renee's press conference. He seemed to be deep in thought.

'Now, Grandpa will finally understand that it takes two to tango,' Stefan thought in relief.

Truthfully, he didn't love Renee, and he certainly had done things to hurt her. In his defense though, Renee didn't love him either While he and Briar pretended to be close, Renee and Liam had genuine feelings for each other. They were even prepared to have children.

That's why both of them had agreed to the divorce. How could she make him the sole scapegoat?

"Grandpa, as you've just seen, this woman wanted nothing more than to divorce me. That way, she can officially be with Liam. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so eager to make a public announcement that we're divorced. She's not as innocent as you think she is. Everyone's just fooled by her appearance!" Stefan couldn't hide the anger in his voice.

Old Mr. Hunt looked away from the television and turned to face Stefan with a frown. "Is that how you perceive it? Hmph, that explains why you always did badly in languages. Your comprehension is terrible!"

Stefan looked at his grandfather in confusion. "How do you perceive it?"

"Idiot!" Old Mr. Hunt punched Stefan in the back. "Do you even have to ask? Ren obviously wants to get back with you!"

Stefan sighed, beyond the point of caring if it would make his grandfather upset. "I'm sorry, but I really couldn't tell."

"Of course you couldn't... That's because you're blind!"

Grandpa adjusted his glasses, rewinded the video to a specific scene, then pointed at the subtitles below it. He began to explain as if he was conducting scientific research. "Look here. The main point is... Ren said she's grateful for having known you for the past four years. Do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?" Stefan had to will himself to not be sarcastic.

"It means she still has feelings for you. She's hinting that she wants to get back together with you!"

Stefan wasn't sure whether he should feel angry or laugh at how confident Grandpa was. While

it was true that he wasn't too good at reading between the lines, there was no way one could relate 'thankful for having met someone' to 'wanting to get back together with someone'.

She was clearly saying that to placate the outsiders. How could it possibly mean that she wanted to get back with him? don't "I don't care! Ren has already made it very clear. If you don't do something about it, you have the right to call yourself a man. Stop yapping and get to it!" Grandpa barked orders at Stefan like a commander.

Stefan replied helplessly, "Grandpa, I know you want us to stay together, but it's impossible. Stop trying to interfere."

"How am I interfering? I'm only speaking from experience. You two are clearly in love with each other, but you're both too stubborn to do anything about it!"

Grandpa knew how stubborn Stefan could be. He normally kept his feelings to himself, and rarely showed his emotions. However, when he had talked about Renee earlier, Stefan got very emotional. It was impossible that he didn't have feelings for her!

Forget it. If Grandpa had to wait for Stefan to realize his mistake, his granddaughter-in-law would be long gone by the time it happened. He had to step in to save the day!

Grandpa coughed softly before speaking. "I don't care. You disobeyed me, and you deserve to be punished. However, I won't punish you physically today. Stay for dinner, and I'll let you off the hook."

'That's all?' Stefan thought in disbelief. He suspected it wouldn't be so simple, but he didn't ask anything further. Grandpa could do whatever he wanted to do as long as he didn't force Stefan to marry Renee again.

However, Stefan would soon realize that the old man was indeed a cunning old fox. Stefan never would've guessed that he could be so merciless...
