Chapter: 8

�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.

Seeing them leaving together, Briar went into a state of panic. This was not what she wanted to happen.

She immediately planted one of her hands on her hips feigning sickness. �Fan, wait up! I can�t walk that fast when I�m pregnant��

�Stay here, I�ll have Elijah pick you up later,� Stefan said in a deep voice before turning back towards Renee. �I can�t stand back and watch when she�s clearly ill.�

Hearing this, Renee nearly rolled her eyes to the back of her head.

�What the hell is he doing?! First, he knocks up his mistress and forces his wife into a divorce. Now he�s acting as if he still cares for me?!�

�Who does he think he is? Is he trying to string me along? This jerk� Turns out he really is a perfect match for Briar Desrosiers!�

�If that�s how you want to play it, don�t mind if I do too!�

Renee decided to switch up her strategy and she wrapped her arms around Stefan�s neck. While batting her eyelashes flirtatiously, she said �Thank you, my dear ex-husband.�

Stefan�s eyes darkened as he was left speechless. No one could tell what was running through his mind at the moment.

On the other hand, the color drained from Briar�s face as she was consumed by sheer anger.

At the hospital, Stefan stayed by Renee�s side throughout the entire process. He even went as far as waiting for the blood test results with her.

Fortunately, it didn�t take long for the hospital to get back to them.

�Her temperature is currently 39.3 �C. You do realize that this is a viral infection, not a bacterial infection, right?�

�If she got here any later, you�d find her a cold corpse rather than diagnosed with a fever.�

After going through the report, the doctor adjusted his glasses and lectured Stefan sternly. �What kind of husband are you? How could you let your wife wear such thin clothing in this cold weather, with a fever no less? How heartless can you be?�

Just as Stefan was about to explain, Renee started speaking in a sickeningly sweet tone, choking on fake tears. �Doctor, please don�t blame him for this. He may have starved me and left me out in the cold� He may be very temperamental and takes out his anger on me� He may have cheated on me and forced me into a divorce, but� I�m willing to endure this much for him.�

�He�s just way too handsome, I couldn�t possibly hold a grudge against him!�

Stefan was absolutely confused. �What is she saying? Why is she so different from what I remember?� JrNovels.com
