The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262

No matter how much she screamed and called, Stefan soldiered on, seeming as if he had no intention of turning back.

'Fine! If you're so tired of living, then just die! If you die, I won't even cry a single tear for you!" Renee clenched her fists, her chest tightening while she grew more and more furious at his recklessness.

'God damn it, Stefan Hunt! Do you have no one else you care about in this world?! Are you really willing to give up on everything for your first love?! Is she really that important to you?!'

It was also then that she finally realized that the cold man she once knew was actually quite loving. However, his love wasn't hers to dream of, and she had no right to expect that from him.

Stefan was quite a skilled swimmer and was able to reach Cecilia within minutes. Using one arm, he carried her back to shore.

Just as they were about to reach the safe zone, a large wave came crashing down, dragging the two backward.

Their figures were unable to be seen after that, which meant that their situations were extremely critical.

’No!’ Renee was shocked to her core, her mind turning blank as she switched into survival mode. All she could do was scream for help as much as she could.

Christopher and Xavier soon led a group of people over, yet didn't dare to take another step as they noticed the rough waves...

"Why are you just standing there? Save them! Hunt and Smith are both being carried away by those waves!" Renee sobbed profusely, never feeling such despair in her life. i

If it weren't to protect her children, she would've just saved them herself.

The moment Xavier heard this, he didn't hesitate in the slightest, intending to jump straight in, only to be stopped by Christopher.

As the eldest in their group, Christopher has always been the rational friend. With a solemn expression, he said, "We can't send more people into these waves. Professionals on the rescue teams are already doing their jobs. So let's just calm down and wait by the shore quietly. We have to prioritize our own safety first."

"I can't just calm down!" Xavier roared. "Stef is in there! Cecy is in there! I can't just sit back and watch them die like a wuss!’

Renee seemed too panicky to make up a coherent excuse. Moreover, the waves were crashing onto the lower half of her body, and it made her seem like she wouldn't be able to maintain proper balance if she stayed there any longer.

Having no other choice, Christopher narrowed his eyes as he carried Renee bridal-style. As she tried to struggle out of his arms, he awkwardly said," I'm sorry, I have to protect you in Stef's stead."

’Let go of me! I know what I'm doing! I can take care of myself! I don't need anyone's protection!" Renee screamed loudly.

Even then, she was worried she might affect her children's well-being, so she didn't dare to struggle with all her might either.

’Stop moving. I can promise you that Stef will be just fine! He’s tough, and a good swimmer too! He even won the championship of a diving contest before! He'll be fine, alright?"

Under the glow of the reddish-orange sun, Christopher looked toward the woman in his arms with utmost certainty.

Noticing this, Renee stopped struggling. Christopher's sincere expression gave her a sudden sense of reassurance.
