Chapter 648
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âRenee, why are you in front of Stefanâs room? Did you twoâ¦â Xavier was the first to gasp.
The others, including Christopher, who were from wealthy families, all appeared equally surprised.
Renee cleared her throat and pretended to be calm. âI came here to talk about business. Nothing happened between us. Donât let your thoughts wander,â she said arrogantly.
In the next second, Stefan walked out of the room in his pajamas. His hair was still wet. âOh, good thing you havenât left. Donât you want your scrunchie anymore?â
Reneeâs facial expression froze. âDamn! This is embarrassing!â
She accepted the black scrunchie from Stefan. âWhat a coincidence. I was looking for it everywhere. It seems that you found it.â
Stefan crossed his arms before looking at her from top to bottom. âYou look sexier with your hair down.
Last nightâ¦â
âAhem!â Renee coughed profusely in an attempt to stop him from speaking.
Was he blind? There were so many people around. Was it necessary to describe such intimate details so openly?
The men looked at each other. Xavier showed a knowing look before chuckling. âAlright, alright. Donât bother with the explanation. Weâre all adults. We understand.â
âI think we came at the wrong time. If you need us to leave for a while, we can do that,â Christopher chimed in.
âThat wonât be necessaryâ¦â Stefan said calmly. âYou came at the right time because the wrong time had already passed.â
âStefan!â Renee clenched her jaws and waved her fists angrily. âIf you say anything youâre not supposed to, youâre going to pay for it!â
However, Stefan kept his arms crossed and leaned casually against the wall. âWas I wrong? Would you like me to show my battle scars to everyone?â
âIf you dare!â
âIâm the victim. Why wouldnât I?â Stefan replied.
âYouâ¦â Renee suddenly realized that Stefan could be completely unreasonable at times. There was nothing she could do when he behaved like this.
If he really did take off his pajamas, sheâd leave Beach City on a rocket right away⦠No, sheâd leave Earth!
âWhat do you want? Just say it!â Renee knew Stefan too well.
She could tell that he was dead set on teasing her. He wanted to embarrass her.
As someone who knew how to read the room, Renee had no choice but to give in for now.
Stefan raised his brows, pleased with Reneeâs obedient behavior. He turned to look at his friends.
âLetâs have a barbecue in the backyard. The maids have already prepared all the ingredients, but unfortunately, I donât trust in their abilityâ¦â
âItâs fine. We can do it ourselves. Itâs supposed to be more fun if we do it anyway.â
âI agree. I can roast the best chicken wings in town. Iâll do it for you guys today.â
The handsome men started speaking one after the other.
Xavier could tell what was on Stefanâs mind. He looked at the other guys.â What are you fighting for?
How could you guys possibly cook anything good?â
âIn my opinion, Renee probably has the best roasting skills. She so happens to be here. Why donât we nominate her as our primary chef?â
The suggestion was immediately met with everyoneâs strong approval. Although they didnât know Renee very well, they knew about her relationship with Stefan. They were all eager to watch a show!
