Chapter 816
Renee looked up in shock, looking as if she had sobered up right then. However, the alcohol hadn’t left her yet – her mind was foggy, and she wasn’t in full control of her body.
She reached over and pointed at Stefan’s nose, turning to Rosie. “Girl, look, this… this is Stefan Hunt, my trashy ex-husband. Just look at him, he looks fine, doesn’t he? But the truth is… he’s not good at all! In fact, I’ve wanted to send him to heaven for a while now!”
As the woman rambled on, she really seemed like she was getting ready to kick Stefan up into the sky.
“Hey, hey! Miss Everheart, be careful!” Rosie tried to hold Renee’s arm to steady her, but it only caused Renee to lose her balance and fall straight into Stefan’s arms.
“Oh? Is this an attempt to seduce me, Everheart?” Stefan teased with a smirk, holding Renee gently by the waist.
“Hell no!” Renee’s cheeks turned red, and she tried to wriggle out of the man’s grasp. “I’m disgusted by your touch, you shameless jerk! How could I possibly want to seduce you?! Let go of me!”
“How are you still so stubborn? You’re drunk, for God’s sake! Are you not tired of this?” Stefan rolled his eyes and sighed wearily.
“I’m not drunk, I’m completely sober! Just wait till I show you how stubborn I can be with my fists! Come at me!” Renee scowled and lunged at Stefan.
Max and his gang might have looked big and burly, but they couldn’t even take more than a couple of hits from Renee. It felt like a warm-up to her, and now, she wished to relieve her stress elsewhere. Now that Stefan was here as a volunteer, she figured that he couldn’t blame her for being violent in a lawless place like this.
To Renee’s surprise, Stefan seemed to have taken lessons from a professional martial artist, as he was able to dodge her attacks perfectly. Suddenly, their position was even more intimate than before.
Finally, the man just picked her up and started walking towards the exit of the bar.
“Just take it easy if you’re drunk. I’ll be sending you home now,” he said, his tone firm yet gentle at the same time.
“Let go of me, Hunt! Fight me if you have what it takes!” Renee kicked her feet angrily. She might lose in an argument, but she refused to believe that she’d lose in a fight.
‘Something must’ve gone wrong somewhere! I refuse to yield!’
“Fine, fine, you can fight me when we get home. This isn’t a good place to show your skills after all.” Stefan spoke as if he were comforting a child, his gaze soft with affection.
“Okay, you promised, we’ll fight when we get home…” Renee mumbled, burrowing into Stefan’s chest subconsciously. The man’s body was quite warm and sturdy, and it was oddly comforting to be in his embrace. After a short while, she fell asleep, snoring lightly in his arms.
“Hold on!” Rosie exclaimed. All this while she had been standing aside, as if she were watching a romantic comedy skit. However, now that Renee was being carried away, she quickly snapped back to reality and caught up to the two.
“What is it?” Stefan stopped and asked coldly.
“Mr. Hunt, you… you can’t take Miss Everheart with you!” Rosie mustered up the courage to say.
“Why can’t I?”
“That’s because it’s inappropriate! You must have bad intentions!”
“You’re a loyal friend, but I suppose she’s told you about our relationship, hasn’t she?”
“Miss Everheart told me that you’re her ex-husband, and the worst of the worst. She said she would never forgive you!”
“Really?” Stefan glanced at the woman in his arms coldly. He then turned back to Rosie with a menacing aura, his tone prideful. “That may be correct if we were to talk in past tense, but now… we are legally married.”
“Huh?”
