The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 716

Stefan had no idea that Renee liked building blocks, nor did he know of her extraordinary skills. His true intention was to dampen her spirit by giving her something she wasn't good at, but… the woman's performance made him view her in a different light.

Renee could easily put a few irregularly shaped blocks together, forming them into a complete shape. It was obvious that her speed and technique exceeded the average person's.

"Huh, I didn't think you were a master at this," Stefan reluctantly admitted. Anyone else would've likely taken at least an hour to make those shapes, but Renee merely needed five minutes to achieve it. Her abilities were practically on his level.

The woman didn't even need to look at the instructions, and she easily pieced another few blocks together. Her cherry lips curled upwards slyly, and she chuckled. "Well, you do have an odd mind, so I'm surprised you even think at all."

She thought to herself, 'What a waste of intelligence. It's a shame he can't read people at all - he thinks Desrosiers is a gentle, innocent woman, and Murphy is an honest, sincere bro. He even thinks I'm the pretentious villainess here, so how could I ever expect him to see anything past the surface?'

Stefan sat down next to her as well, joining her in the block building project. His hands looked delicate under the chandelier light. His fingers were slender, long, and defined, tempting one to intertwine their fingers with them.

Renee was initially quite focused, but her eyes couldn't help but wander to the man's hands, which slowed down her pace a little.

"You're losing focus." Stefan was a keen observer, and asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"

The man was just as fast as Renee when it came to working with the blocks, and was able to put a number of them together while he spoke.

He continued vaguely, "Sometimes I wonder if things would have ended differently if you tried to convince me to stay back then."

Renee's eyes darkened as memories from four years ago flashed in her mind. The divorce was such a painful experience for her, but she realized that it didn't affect her anymore. The memory itself was a blur at this point.

She then shook her head, her tone calm. "That's because I know that it would be a waste of energy and time. Convincing someone who has already decided to leave is absolutely useless, but if I chose to leave right away, I could still protect the little bit of dignity I had left inside of me."

"That's why I think we're the same - we prioritize our dignity and pride over everything and everyone else," Stefan said quietly, looking at the spaceship wing that he was almost done building.
