Chapter 99

He was as handsome and elegant as ever, even though she had not met him for a few days. This

was especially true for his long, perfect pair of legs-it appeared that he had recovered very well, with no

residual effects to be seen.

Renee breathed a sigh of relief. At last, she could relax a little.

If it turned out that he was suffering from some hidden illness, she might just be held responsible for it.

Consequently, she would not be able to get a divorce.

Renee pinned the strands of her hair and cleared her throat. She felt that she should greet him, given

that they were a couple. It was better to part on good terms.

She waved her hand at him and revealed a fake smile that she thought looked very natural. “Hi

However, he pursed his thin lips tightly and wore a cold face. He ignored her and strode away with his

stork-like legs. He left… just like that.

This left her at a loss for words.

Her smile stiffened, and she felt both awkward and angry.

‘Damn! Why is he so arrogant?’ she thought. ‘Even if we’re no longer a couple, I wiped his body clean

for a few days. Does he have to make it so unpleasant?’

Renee quickened her steps and followed him, walking toward the divorce department on the

second floor.

The crowd that was seeking divorce turned out to be as large as before, but there were only around

four or five couples at the marriage registration counter today.

Renee could not help as a pang of sentimentality hit her hard. As expected, people nowadays had

thought things through. The marriage system would eventually fade away.

Stefan managed to get into an express lane, thanks to his special identity.

The staff was very flattering. After he accepted their relevant documents, he poured them a drink and

politely asked them to wait.

Hence, they sat side by side in silence. The atmosphere was filled with a peculiar, almost palpable

tension.

Renee put the paper cup to her mouth and sipped on the warm water as a barrage of convoluted

feelings swirled in her chest.

She was about to get a divorce certificate, meaning she would no longer have any relationship

with him.

If they had a tacit understanding, they might never see each other again, just like the past three days,

disappearing completely from each other’s world.

She had seen it through, and she had long let go, but she failed to stop a sudden wave of sorrow from

engulfing her. It got worse when she thought of the two babies in her belly. Their lives would be lacking

from the moment they were born. They would never have a father.

She began to wonder if her children would blame her for being reckless and selfish when they

grew up.

“I should tell him about the babies…” persuaded a ceaseless voice in her mind.

“If we’re no longer married, would it be perfect for us if we could raise the kids peacefully?

“But if I tell him at this moment, will he think that I’m trying to manipulate the kids to emotionally

blackmail him? Will he not take responsibility for them and mock me in the end?

“After all, he feels nothing for me. He’s got Briar now. Briar’s child is the one he hopes for, isn’t it?”

Amid the conflicted feelings that crashed into her like blur waves, she almost crushed the

paper cup.

“Are you going to remarry?”

Stefan suddenly coldly raised a question.

“Cough-cough!”

Renee choked as she looked at him with confusion.

What the hell?

Stefan’s composed face and deadpan look were laced with indescribable detachment. “Will you marry

Liam?”

She widened her eyes exaggeratedly, and she became even more baffled. “Why ask?”

Stefan made no reply, and he wore an expression that she failed to decipher. He then said slowly, “As

your ex-husband, whoever you’ll marry has nothing to do with me. However, I must give you a friendly

reminder. Liam isn’t the right guy for you. He’s not suited for you.”

Renee found his words rather strange. She could not tell if he was giving a sincere suggestion or just

trying to mock her.

“Then will you marry Briar?” she immediately retorted.
