The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Stefan looked extremely serious this time. Thus, Renee’s grip on her report tightened as contemplation rose within the depths of her heart.

Briar, who was standing at the side, seemed to have noticed something off and placed herself in between them. Then, she took her own report out and shoved it toward Renee’s face.

“Miss Everheart, look at my baby. He’s three months old now! We just had an ultrasound done, and the baby is fully formed! Here’s a picture of him… isn’t he so cute? It’s great that we managed to bump into you today. I have to thank you for giving my baby and me a complete family and for such an excellent father like Stefan! Because of your generosity, we can live in bliss!”

‘She just wants to brag!’ Renee thought, glancing at the ultrasound picture.

She could tell that it really was a fully formed fetus with limbs and facial features. On the contrary, her own child was just an embryo. Some would say that it wasn’t exactly alive, either.

‘How funny. The difference between our children shows just how insignificant my child and I are.’

Seeing how quiet and meek Renee seemed, Briar continued her act. “Miss Everheart, you’re basically the baby’s savior, you know! How about this? You should name our baby! Then our baby will forever have a reminder of you and your kindness, right?”

Renee was baffled. This was the first time she wanted to hit Briar so badly.

‘What the hell?! Is she really asking me to name their baby? She’s really getting on my f*cking nerves now!’

The woman smirked coldly, staring at Briar with contempt. “Are you sure you want me to name it?”

“Mhm, if you’re okay with it, that is.” Briar beamed. In reality, she just wanted to humiliate Renee in front of Stefan because she figured Renee would refuse.

No matter how generous one may be, no woman would ever help name the baby of her husband and his mistress.

Stefan narrowed his eyes, staring at Renee with mixed feelings. “If it’s too much, you’re free to refuse her offer.”

Although their divorce was certain, he somewhat wished to defend her, especially seeing how awkward she seemed. However, it would seem that… he was reading too much into it. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“It’s fine. It’s not hard to come up with a name.”

Rather than awkward, Renee actually felt quite amused, raising a brow cheekily. “Let’s name him… Karma Hunt!”

“Huh… Connor Hunt?” Briar was slightly shocked at Renee’s response, her mask shedding for a brief moment. “Do you mean… C-O-N-N-O-R?”

“Oh no, no. I mean K-A-R-M-A. You reap what you sow, right? Karma will hunt anyone down and make them face the consequences of their actions. See, what a meaningful name!”

As soon as Renee explained, Briar looked rather infuriated, but she simply couldn’t afford to lose her cool in front of Stefan. Hence, she merely gritted her teeth, suppressing her anger with all her might.

Renee continued. “Thanks for this lovely opportunity, Miss Desrosiers. Remember to use the name I came up with, alright? Else I’d think you were just faking your gratitude towards me, you know!”

Stefan’s face was stone cold, his eyes focused on Renee. “Enough, don’t cross the line.”

“Who really crossed the line here, future ex-husband?” Renee questioned, not afraid to meet his gaze in the slightest. “Or should I say… Mr. Cheater?
