The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 624

Renee could rule out that the Hunt family planned to ambush her since the electricity had gone out due to a faulty circuit.

She let out a sigh of relief and relaxed somewhat. She let go of Stefan's neck and tried to move away from him, but his strong arm suddenly circled her waist. He pulled her towards him, and she tumbled onto him with a yelp. When she felt his warm frame against hers, she immediately froze. "What... What are you doing?"

Stefan remained silent, but his grip on her tightened.

Renee lost her cool and hissed at him, "Stefan, don't you dare try to take advantage of me. Let me go before I hurt you!"

"Stop moving!" Instead of letting her go, he held onto her like his life depended on it.

"Clearly, you don't value your life. Do you want me to break your arm?" She was going to push him away when she heard sniffling. She hesitated, her eyes wide in disbelief.

'Is Stefan… crying?' She thought in shock. She immediately calmed down, taken aback by this unexpected occurrence.

"Are you alright?" She asked cautiously.

"You probably don't know this, but when I'm alone in the dark… memories of what happened to my brother overwhelm me, and I'll sometimes get a panic attack. I usually need someone to lean on, or else the consequences will be disastrous." He mumbled as he moved closer to her.

'Is he being serious?' Renee thought, bewildered. Unconvinced, she asked him, "How bad is it?"

"My breathing and pulse will quicken, and eventually all of my organs will cease working… and I'll die."

It seemed a bit exaggerated, but Stefan didn't seem like the type to lie about things like this.

Renee decided to believe him, and let him hold her. The room was quiet for a while, and then she whispered menacingly, "This is an excellent chance for me to murder you."

Stefan tightened his grip and drew her closer to him, as if he wanted to meld their bodies together. His lips brushed her ear as he murmured, "I told you before that if you want to, you may."
