The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

“Then you two have agreed to lie to me!” Timothy saw straight through their plan, and sighed deeply. “You know I won’t live for
long, so you decided to put on an act with him to avoid having any regrets?”
“No, Grandpa. You’ve overthinking it!” Renee protested.
“I know your personality, Ren. You’ve always put others before yourself, so it’s not surprising that you’d do something like this. As
much as I hope you and Stefan will return to the way you both were before, you must forgive him, fall in love with him again, and
be content with him first.”
After advising them, the old man said seriously, “Look into my eyes and tell me you’ve forgiven him and fallen in love with him
again.”
“I...” Renee unconsciously looked away from his intense gaze as guilt consumed her, and glanced at Stefan for assistance. “You
should ask him, Grandpa. He is aware of everything.”
“I knew you wouldn’t believe me. Fortunately, I came prepared.” Stefan scoffed, then pulled out a document from his pocket and
proudly said, “This is our marriage certificate. We wouldn’t have gone this far if we were acting.”
“Show it to me!” Francine’s eyes widened as she took the certificate and carefully inspected it. She then jumped into Alexander’s
arms and cried out happily, “Finally, our son is married again! What wonderful news!”
Alexander, too, couldn’t believe it and took the certificate from his wife. He looked at it for a moment, then nodded. “The words
are clear, so it’s probably real.”
“Let me see it.” Timothy frowned and adjusted his reading spectacles as he perused it.
The enormous living room instantly became silent.
His gloomy countenance faded after a while, and a big smile bloomed on his face. “This is fantastic! Today is a lucky day for the
Hunts. I can now let go of my life’s regrets!”
He was certain that the marriage certificate was genuine, and based on his knowledge of Renee, he knew she wouldn’t have
gone through the trouble of putting on a show merely to make him happy.
‘Then there is only one possibility left: she has finally considered everything and chosen to forgive Stefan.’ Timothy pondered.

“You two have finally matured. Take excellent care of the kids and have a happy life together in the future. Don’t argue anymore,
and don’t bring up previous wrongs. If not, my old spirit will not be at peace...”
He took Renee’s and Stefan’s hands and clasped them together, saying solemnly, “I want you two to make a promise in front of
me. Promise me that you will never break up again. If you do, I, as a witness, will die tragically!”
Everyone was terrified by his statement.
“What is this nonsense, Dad? Don’t be so melancholic on such a nice day,” Alexander complained.
Timothy ignored him and waited for Stefan and Renee to agree. “If it’s true love, you wouldn’t be afraid to make the promise.”
“I’m not afraid.” Stefan’s steely eyes were fixed on Renee as he spoke determinedly, “I, Stefan, Renee’s lawful husband, promise
to be responsible for her for the rest of my life and to never break up with her again.”
“Good man.” Timothy was relieved that Stefan had finally realized his mistake. He then turned to Renee enthusiastically. “It’s
your turn now.”
