The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Renee thought she was about to fall flat on her face.

Just then, a man wrapped his strong arm around her waist, catching her fall. The fresh scent of peppermint filled her senses, entrancing the woman entirely.

The urge to protect her sprang up in his mind, accompanied by the following thought.

‘She’s so thin and frail, like a feather.’

“This doesn’t concern you!” Renee hissed through her teeth as she regained her balance. She stubbornly tried to free herself from his arms.

However, no matter how tough she tried to act, her body was simply exhausted. Even after gaining her footing, she staggered backward.

Seeing this, Stefan lifted her bridal style and said, “I’ll get you to the hospital.”

“What are you doing… Let go of me!” Visibly upset, Renee wriggled in his arms with all her might. “Do you not remember that we’ve separated…”

“You’re still considered my wife during the waiting period.” The man insisted firmly.
