Chapter 153
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
That night, Liam and the rest left the Everheart residence reluctantly under Reneeâs request.
Before leaving, Leia held on to Reneeâs hand and asked worriedly, âAre you sure youâre okay living alone in the huge mansion? I heard that there are ghosts at night. Arenât you scared?â
âOf course, Iâm not. This is my house. Even if there are ghosts around, theyâre my family, so they wonât hurt me,â Renee said with a smile.
They only left after getting her affirmation.
After all, ghosts were not as terrifying as the terrible people Renee had previously encountered!
After the three of them left, the temporarily vibrant home became silent, with the propertyâs moist odor permeating the surroundings as though confirming nobody had been here for years.
However, Renee was unbothered by it.
She started cleaning the dishes while humming a tune to herself. She then filled the vase with water and placed the sunflowers inside before setting them next to her bed.
Although the mansion looked decayed from the outside, everything was still the same as it was on the inside four years ago.
She hoped she was dreaming, and when she awoke, her grandpa, father, and mother still existed.
They would be sitting by her bed and gently woke her up by saying, âPrincess Ren, time to wake up.â
It was getting real late.
Renee lay on her little bed, once her favorite, reminiscing about the past as her mind drifted off.
In a daze, she heard weird noises coming from the master bedroom that once belonged to her parents.
It sounded like a womanâs voice. She seemed to be crying and laughing. Her voice sounded scary in the quiet night.
At first, she didnât really care as she thought she was either dreaming or hallucinating because of the tiredness.
But slowly, the voice got louder, and she heard it through the closed door.
âBoohoo. I died so tragically. Who can save me? Iâm in so much painâ¦â
âHahahaha. Iâm so bored. Does anyone want to play? Itâs cold down here.â
The voice didnât belong to her mother.
Renee was a realist, yet the hair on her neck stood up. Beads of cold sweat sprouted on her forehead She instantly covered herself with the blanket and trembled in fear.
âDear God, I never did anything bad in life. Donât let anything come at me!â
After a while, the voice stopped.
Renee breathed out a sigh of relief. She was sweating so profusely that her shirt was almost drenched.
The babies in her tummy seemed to be affected as well as she felt a slight pain in her stomach.
She quickly touched her belly and comforted them. âMy baby, donât be scared. No matter what happens, Iâll be here to protect you. Iâm tough, and I wonât let anything hurt you.â
Only then did the pain subside.
âWhat a coward 1 am!â she couldnât help but scold herself for being scared.
She still believed that humans were scarier than ghosts.
With the thought in mind, she boldly came out from the quilt.
Immediately, she let out a loud scream and almost peed her pants!
âGhost!â
Under the moonlight, she saw a white shadow hovering in front of her window. The sight in front of her was more terrifying.
than a horror film.
âGod help meâ¦â
She instantly shut her eyes, and with trembling teeth, she began to pray.
The rumors were true! There were indeed ghosts in the house!
Although it was her house, she couldnât live in an environment like this!
Renee jumped down from the bed and was about to leave when a white shadow emerged in front of her. It inspected Renee with a pair of eyes before it spokeâ¦.
