The Untouchable Ex-Wife

“Adie... Abby...” Stefan mumbled his precious children’s names, the sadness in his eyes compounded. “What right do I have to
call myself their father now? I don’t think they’d even want someone useless as family.”
“Then don’t be useless! You’re just blind and still have your smarts to back you up, and you’re definitely still capable of managing
the company. It’s just that you can’t show yourself during this period of time. Don’t let anyone, especially Jovan, find out that you
have lost your sight. Else we’d have more problems to worry about.”
Francine had already thought this through and had only announced to the public that Stefan caught a severely contagious
disease. She told everyone that he was still in recovery and couldn’t manage the company or receive guests for the time being
However, a lie like that would only cover up the truth for so long. The limited time they currently had was a great incentive for her
to find this Albus Order leader as quickly as possible.
Just then, one of the maids shouted in a panic from outside, “No, Master Jovan. Our madam said that no one is allowed to enter
without her permission! Please cooperate with us.”
“What the heck? I’m part of the Hunt family, too, you know? I came to see my cousin. I heard he’s sick, and I’ve been so worried
this whole time!” Jovan said in a loud and sarcastic tone as he strode into the manor, despite the maid’s attempt at stopping him.
“Damned kid! He’s like a f*cking ghost. We can’t even mention his name in this house!” Francine was so mad that she started
cussing, then turned to Stefan. “Head back to your room. I’ll handle him, for now. And remember... Don’t show yourself!”
Jovan was in the living room at the time. His hands were in his pockets, his expression nonchalant and arrogant. “Hey, Aunt
Francine, your maids are so stubborn. I just swung by to check up on Cousin Stefan, but she wouldn’t let me in! It’s like you guys
have some kind of secret to hide.”
Francine knew that they were still the passive party and didn’t want to fight with Jovan. After all, this man was insane, and
fighting with him would only result in a lose-lose situation.
With that in mind, she put up a smile and greeted him instead. “Hey, dear nephew, what brings you here? It’s almost midnight,
but you still went out of your way to visit us. I’m so touched I could cry! But, well... Stef caught a pretty bad contagious disease,
so he needs a lot of rest. He went to bed hours ago, so he can’t see you just yet!”
“That’s okay, I’m feeling tired too. If you don’t mind, Aunt Francine, I could stay for the night. Then I can just see Stefan when
morning comes.” Jovan replied and started going up the stairs.

“I’m sorry, this is actually Stef and Renee’s house. Only their close ones are allowed to sleep over. If you really want to visit him,
you could come earlier tomorrow.”
“As you said, this place is my cousin and his wife’s. Does that mean I can stay if I got permission from Renee?” Jovan smiled
slyly.
