Chapter 241
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
The man looked completely serious.
âIâm sorry, I mustâve been possessed last night or something. I have no idea why I would do those thingsâ¦â Reneeâs cheeks were still flushed. She didnât dare to look directly at Stefan. Her voice was soft.
âIf you donât mind, we can just pretend nothing ever happened. Iâll pay you compensation, and you delete that footage. What do you say?â
Stefan retorted. âDo I look like I need any more money?â
âNope!â
âSo give up on that thought. You should think about how you can compensate me in other ways instead. Otherwise, I wonât be deleting this any time soon,â Stefan said in a nonchalant tone.
âWhat else can I possibly compensate you with? Donât get greedy here!â Renee sat up, warning Stefan.
âIâll be honest with you. I have a video of your antics while you were drunk too! If you dare to leak that footage, dont blame me for doing the same! Weâll just have to go down together then!â
Stefan seemed to yield to her threats, and he didnât push her any further.
Hence, the two tidied themselves up, trying hard to forget about everything that happened last night.
âBut, honestly, Iâm pretty curious as to what happened to me. Why would I have done such ridiculous things?â Renee scratched the back of her head, confused.
Stefan raised an eyebrow and replied, âItâs likely due to the soup.â
âThe soup?â
âI suspect that the minestrone soup contained a certain type of mushroom that could cause hallucinations if large amounts are consumed. Since you had so much last night, you were probably hallucinating all those little people⦠the weed⦠the jelly.â
âThatâs not right. Didnât you have some too? You seemed fine, though?â
âI only took a few sips.â
âThen why were you hallucinating with me by the end of the footage?â
âWhy else?â Stefan glanced at her coldly. âThe kiss lasted too long.â
âUhm!â Reneeâs face flushed red instantly, and she covered her face again. She really wished she had a way to disappear right there and then.
Stefan then started the engine and drove off, the fleeting scenery visible on both sides of the windows.
He then observed the woman in the back through the rearview mirror, suddenly asking, âHey, uhâ¦
What did you mean by that just now?â
âWhat?â
âYou said something about your stomach, and how you couldnât believe Iâd still do that to youâ¦â Stefan paused, as his gaze turned sharp.
âSo what happened to your stomach?â
âOh, thatâ¦â Renee gulped, her eyes darting around as she came up with a bad excuse. âDont you see how chubby Iâve become? How could you still be attracted to this?â
âSo thatâs what you mean.â Stefan let out a sigh of relief. He thought something was growing within Reneeâs belly, especially since paparazzi had once captured her and Liam meeting a gynecologist to prepare for pregnancy.
âYou really have become quite chubby. You could lose a few pounds.â
âHey!â Renee huffed, but couldnât retort in the slightest. All she could do was angrily glare out the window.
Noticing the unfamiliar scenery, she leaned back and anxiously asked the man, âWhere⦠are you taking me?â
