The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei
Chapter 234

Chapter 234

Stefan looked coldly at Shirley. He didn't answer her.

Shirley realized she had overstepped a boundary, and she frantically apologized. 'I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you that. I think you might find me useful in the future, so... can I have your number?"

This was the bravest thing that Shirley, who had been naive and conservative for many years, had done.

Her careful attitude reminded Stefan of Renee when he met her four years ago, and his heart softened a little. "Give me your phone.'

"O-Okay!" Shirley quickly handed him her phone.

The two stood very close to each other in front of the taxi, and to anyone watching, it seemed like a very intimate scene.

At the same time, Renee and Liam walked out and happened to see this.

Renee felt her heart ache. She wanted to pretend she didn't see anything and leave right away, but coincidentally, Stefan looked up, and their eyes met.

His gaze was cold as usual, but there seemed to be an aura of superiority about him. He didn't feel awkward or bad at all, and this infuriated Renee for some reason.

Impulsively, Renee wrapped her hand around Liam's arm and asked him sweetly, 'Where are we going next? I think the hotel next to the sea we went to last time wasn't too bad. Should we go there again?"

'Umm...' Liam didn't dare move at all.

Was Renee really willing? If she was, there was no way they could maintain their 'pure' relationship!

Stefan's expression became several degrees colder. He went even further by opening the taxi door. "Go to this hotel," he said to the driver.

After that, he and Shirley got into the same taxi, and the car drove past Renee.

Needless to say, Renee knew what would happen between them next... She stood still for a long time and didn't say anything. Her gaze was fixated on the taxi until it disappeared from view.

Liam knew Renee was sad. "Boss, I really do know a hotel by the sea. Would you like me to take you there for a walk?" He asked carefully.

'No, thanks." Renee pulled away from Liam and smiled bitterly. "I'm letting him hurt me for the last time. Once Ms. Lee wins that case, I'll leave for good. He won't be able to hurt me anymore."

It was getting late. Liam and Leia wanted to send Renee home, but she insisted she didn't want them to. She said goodbye to them, and quickly left. She didn't want to go home, and she didn't want to talk. She didn't want to deal with anyone. All she wanted was a quiet place where she could be by herself.

She wanted to go somewhere she could let out her true emotions, where she didn't have to pretend to be strong...

She had to admit that she was feeling really hurt. The thought that Stefan might be sleeping with that girl right now made it hard for her to breathe. It felt like someone was driving a knife into her heart and twisting it.

Stefan had never fallen for her despite being married for four years, but now, he had fallen for a fake version of her at first sight! It wasn't fair!

She walked aimlessly until she somehow arrived at the shopping mall she went to with Stefan and Jane the other day. Coincidentally, the movie

she'd been wanting to watch, Soul Travel, was still available in the cinema.

Renee didn't hesitate. She bought the earliest show and silently walked into the dark cinema hall. Since it was a midnight show, there were very few people there, all of whom sat sparsely across the hall.

Renee suddenly felt a sense of security she'd not felt for a long time.

Where else could a person cry to their heart's content than a cinema hall where nobody knew them?
