Chapter 206
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Professor Wood, however, did not go along with Reneeâs wish this time. Instead, he said, âThis is a secret between us two, so itâs not that convenient. But weâve finished talking now. Iâm going to go cook something delicious for you. Why donât you two take Jane out for a walk?â
âHuh? Butâ¦â
Renee was about to say that its ânot that convenientâ.
But Stefan was faster than her. He said expressionlessly, âI heard that thereâs a famous place called the Sophora Road in BC University. I donât mind going out for a walk.â
âThatâs right. The Sophora Road is a famous landmark of BC University. The sophora flowers happen to be blossoming now too. When the wind blows, the white petals fall like snow. I remember thereâs a legend about the Sophora Roadâ¦â
Professor Wood looked at Stefan, then at Renee. âItâs said that when a man and a woman walk along the Sophora Road holding hands, theyâll grow old together. Sophia and I, as well as many of the lecturers living in the specialist residential area, are loving couples. Maybe itâs because we walked along the Sophora Road every day.â
Renee said, âWow, thatâs amazing. But that means you have to be careful who you walk down that road with. What if you have to grow old with a man you hate? That would be terribleâ¦â
âHow scary. I think Iâll take Jane out to play!â
She deliberately glared at Stefan with a disgusted face on the way out.
Stefan: ââ¦â
He pursed his thin lips, his eyes murderous!
That woman was clearly insinuating something about him just now. How dare she?
Professor Wood could not help but laugh. He told Stefan, âSee? I told you. Renee is a mischievous girl.
All those years she was married to you, she had been suppressing her own nature a littleâ¦â
Stefan kept quiet.
He thought âa littleâ was an understatement. She had become a completely different person after the divorce!
So much so that he sometimes wondered if she had multiple personality disorder.
âJane, letâs go out to play!â
The two girls went out happily like sisters.
BC University was still the same as Renee remembered it. It was both artistic and scholarly.
When Renee was studying here, she was a legend due to her outstanding appearance and geniusâlike learning ability.
But to everyoneâs surprise, the legendary figure chose to marry into a rich family when she was shining the brightest. And thus. a rising star in the physics world fell. It was such a pityâ¦
The sophora petals fell on Reneeâs face and hair. It was beautiful and romantic.
Renee grabbed one and lowered her head to smell it as sunlight caressed her fair porcelain face. She looked so beautiful, like there was a filter on her.
She looked like the lead actress in a Korean drama. With a sweet smile on her face, she gently blew petal away.
âItâs snowing! Itâs snowing!â
Jane danced and spun with her arms spread wide amidst the falling flower petals. She caught sight of Stefan walking towards them.
âUncle Stefan, Uncle Stefan! Over here! Letâs play together!â
Jane dashed over to Stefan, took the manâs hand and pulled him towards Renee.
âWhy are you following us?â
Renee suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
Had he been quietly walking behind them the whole time?
Then he would have seen her acting like a Korean dramaâs lead actress just now. How embarrassing!
Stefanâs handsome face was emotionless. He coldly said, âDoes this road belong to you? Why canât I come here?â
Stefanâs words rendered Renee speechless.
This guy was so annoying!
Renee crossed her arms and raised her chin somewhat proudly. âActually, this road⦠was made for me!â
â?â
Stefanâs eyes were full of doubt.
âDonât believe me?â
Renee casually grabbed a passing student and asked, âHi! Do you know the history behind the Sophora Road?â
âOf course I do!â
That student was very enthusiastic and started to talk endlessly.
âYears ago, this roadâ¦â
