The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Old Mr. Hunt put down the brush pen and opened the desk drawer while saying these to Renee. Then, he solemnly took out a rosewood box and handed it to Renee.

“Ren, open it up.”

Renee took the box and opened it with care. Inside the box was a medal engraved with a dove of peace and a sword. Renee turned to Old Mr. Hunt with confusion. “Grandpa, is this…”

“Child, your grandfather gave me this before he died. This medal was dear to him and symbolized his heroic life. Now, I’m passing it on to you.”

Old Mr. Hunt sighed as he recalled the legendary life of his dearest friend Maurice Everheart. Your grandfather was most worried about you before his death. He repeatedly told me to pass the medal to you four years after your marriage with Stefan…”

“It’s now the fourth year of your marriage. The medal carries your grandfather’s blessing to you both. It’ll bless you both with a happy ever after marriage!”

Renee looked at the gold medal in her hand with teary eyes. It was as if she had traveled beyond life and death and felt the touch of her grandfather’s rough but gentle palm.

“When Grandpa was still around, he was always worried about me. Although he’s gone, soul is still watching over me. I’m such a useless granddaughter. I’ve always caused him trouble…”

She remembered her grandfather’s last moments-he told her over and over again, urging her not to return to the dangerous and complicated circle. She did not have to be more capable or bring back the Everheart family’s glory days-all he wanted was for her to spend the rest of her life as an ordinary woman. His last wish was for her to play the role of Mrs. Hunt well. It was only then that he’d be able to rest in peace.

‘But now, it’s…’ Renee sighed and blamed herself for her weakness. She couldn’t even fulfill the simple last with of her grandpa.

It would be hard to control one’s heart. She could take revenge and restore the Everheart family’s glory, but there was nothing she could do about a man who did not love her.

Thus far, she had done her best. With no light at the end of the tunnel, her only choice was to give up

without regret.

“Silly child. What are you saying? In our eyes, Renee, you’re a wonderful girl. How can you useless?”

Old Mr. Hunt looked at Renee lovingly, his eyes full of admiration. “Besides… My grandson has

been difficult since he was a child. The fact that you’ve tamed him proves you have something in you that other girls don’t.”

“Ahem,” Renee coughed lightly. She avoided the Old Mr. Hunt’s gaze, feeling weak. She and Stefan were already formally divorced. If Old Mr. Hunt knew that, he would be enraged!

Renee hurriedly changed the subject. “Uhm, Grandpa. I went on vacation with Stefan and brought you some gifts. I hope you’ll like them.”

“Really? You’re so thoughtful. Hurry up and show me.”

Renee brought out the local specialties she had prepared ahead. “We’ve got you some coffee beans, fruit tea, and coconut powder. These are all the specialties from Semponia, and this…” Renee opened a jewelry box, revealing a beautiful round pearl. It seemed to be shining. “This is a natural black pearl found in the deepest part of Para Island. The pearl took hundreds of years to develop and has absorbed the best of the earth and sea. It has remarkable healing energy. Keeping it in the room will give you a calming effect at home.” (1)

Although the vacation was fake, getting the pearl did cost her a fortune. It was her way of giving Old Mr. Hunt a token of appreciation before she left.

“This is a really nice pearl. I like it.”

Old Mr. Hunt played with the large black pearl in his hand, visibly pleased and amused. His granddaughter-in-law was thoughtful and had good taste. This was one gift he really adored

“Grandpa.”

At the same time, Stefan’s cold and low voice came outside the door. As Renee turned around,
