Chapter 706
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
With the help of the light from her phone, Renee was surprised to find on Stefanâs desk rows of merchandise from various popular animes.
There was Luffy from âOne Pieceâ, Conan from âDetective Conanâ, Naruto, and even Sora from âGag Manga Biyoriâ!!!
âHahaha, this is too funny! Does he have multiple personality disorder or something? He behaves like an iceberg all the time, but heâs actually an otaku!â
Renee could not stop staring at the palm-sized action figure of Luffy.
It was hard to imagine Stefan sitting at this desk every day, playing with these merchandise with a straight face. She could not help but burst out in laughter.
She herself was half an otaku. When she was young, besides playing with the bottles and jars in the laboratory, she also liked to read some hot-blooded or funny manga.
And the animes she liked were actually very similar to the animes Stefan liked.
Renee suddenly sighed. She only found out that she shared a common interest with her ex-husband years after the divorce.
Besides anime merchandise, there was also a huge glass cabinet in Stefanâs room. It did not contain any rare treasures. Instead, it was filled with all sorts of LEGO models, including the Eiffel Tower, heavy spaceships, motorcycles and Transformers.
âI canât believe he likes LEGO too. He even managed to construct such a difficult spaceship!â
Renee once again discovered something they had in common, which was their passion for LEGO.
She stared at the LEGO spaceship in the glass cabinet in shock. It was over a meter wide and was made up of 9999 pieces of various sizes. Unless someone was really passionate about LEGO, they would not have the patience to complete it.
Renee loved that spaceship model too. She had always wanted to attempt to construct it, but she could never find the time. Moreover, the spaceship was a limited edition model, with only 99 sets available worldwide. She missed the timing and was still eagerly waiting for the second release so that she could buy a set!
Now that her âdream spaceshipâ had appeared before her, she wanted to touch it. She could not help herself.
She put down her phone and was about to open the glass cabinet when suddenly, her keen ears detected the sound of footsteps coming from the door, accompanied by the sound of people talking.
She instantly got nervous. Was Stefan coming to the Hunt Residence today? No way her luck would be that bad, right?
She did not have much time to react. She looked around in panic and could only slip under the bed.
âYou brat, youâre finally willing to come back. I heard youâve been living the good life lately, getting very close to that lass from the Murphy family. Old man Murphy has come to me several times to drop hints.
What are you planning to do?â
Grandpa Timothy asked Stefan sternly. He walked slowly, supporting himself with his cane. Although he was limping, he exuded a powerful aura.
âWhat was he hinting at?â
Stefan took off his suit jacket and hung it on a solid wooden coat rack. His voice was nonchalant.
After all, he got scolded by the old man every time he came here. Sometimes, he would even get beaten. He had long grown immune to the old manâs scolding. It went in one ear and out the other.
âYou damn brat, stop feigning ignorance! What do you think he was hinting at?â
Grandpa Timothy glared at his precious little grandson and cut straight to the chase. âHe asked me, whatâs going on between you and his precious granddaughter? Why have you two grown so close? I heard Seraphina has even moved in with you. That manor belongs to you and Ren. How could you let another woman stay there? What are you young people doing?â
âShe came to my house for a barbecue the other day and accidentally burned her foot. She had a hard time walking, so I let her stay at the manor for a few days. You know very well what our relationship is.
Weâre sworn brothers.â
Stefan explained to Grandpa Timothy.
