The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 1388

Quinton had realized something was amiss, and had given Renee an emergency alarm. If Renee pressed that button, the whole hospital would be alerted. Renee had initially laughed about it, not wanting to wake everyone up because of her selfish desire to eat cake, but that seemed to have given Stefan the confidence to behave recklessly.

"I just wanted to help you wipe your lips… but I won't come tomorrow night if you think it's inappropriate. I'll also fire the pastry chef I poached from a top pastry shop." Raising his brows, Stefan continued, "He was planning to bake a hazelnut cake tomorrow..."

"No, please don't!" Renee's eyes lit up because she loved hazelnut cake the most. She quickly explained, "Don't fire him. I'm sure it wasn't easy for him to get the job, so let him work tomorrow but... you don't have to wipe my lips for me. I can do it on my own."

"Sure, I'll think it over seeing how concerned and sincere you are," Stefan said lightly, smiling like a cunning fox.

"Ah!" Renee sighed heavily, ashamed of herself. As always, Stefan was good at analyzing people's thoughts. He knew that she was a soft-hearted person and a foodie, and he had used that to slowly break down her walls, making her crave his company... He really was a devious fox!

Stefan checked the time and realized it was quite late. He stood up to leave, smiling in satisfaction like the cat that got the cream. "Get some rest; I'll head back to my ward now. See you again tomorrow at the same time."

Silent, Renee closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. Images of them kissing played on her mind constantly, making her blush. Somehow, she had gotten entangled with Stefan again, ignoring the fact that their being together would harm each other… She didn't dare imagine what kind of crisis would happen next. Since everything had happened late at night, it felt like a dream that would disappear when she woke up.

After some time had passed, Renee heard rustling again. Although she had her eyes closed, she could feel someone's fierce gaze on her, making her skin prickle.
