The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

"Here you go." Stefan handed Renee a glass of water.

"Thank you!" Renee accepted it without hesitation and gulped it down quickly.

The refreshing and cold feeling sobered her up.

However, because of her body's inertia, she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

After placing the glass down, she said casually, "Thank you, darling.

You're the best." Then, she lay in bed again and closed her eyes to doze back to sleep.

"What did you...call me?" In the dark, Stefan paused and watched her in bed.

Her words had flattered him deeply.

Never had he imagined she would address him that way again, especially after he did such terrible things to her and harmed her.

Many times, he told himself that everything was over—they would never return to being a married couple.

He might never again hear her call him darling so sweetly and softly, nor would she rely on him wholeheartedly.

Yet now, he experienced it again.
