Chapter 1138

Author: Mizuki Sei
With those words, Xavier scooped Leia up in his arms, brimming with a boyfriend's energy.

They headed to the bedroom—the night was still young, and there was still much to be done.

-

The next day, Leia woke up feeling reinvigorated in heart and spirit, finding it a little unreal to see the handsome face asleep beside her.

In reality, they did not do anything at all—Xavier's heart bled for her after she was bullied thoroughly in prison, and he tended to her wounds, then held her in his arms a

  • The Untouchable Ex-Wife   Chapter 2759

    The atmosphere instantly became tense.It turned out that a relationship didn't truly break apart during screaming matches or violent confrontations. Sometimes, it could happen in completely calm moments like this.They were only a few feet away from each other, but it felt as if they were a thousand miles apart.As Renee's twin brother, Quinton could sense exactly what she was feeling. His chest felt tight. If he was this miserable, he could only imagine how much worse it was for her.This wasn't what he wanted. It wasn't what he'd hoped to see. If possible, he would rather they lay everything out in the open, let go of their hatred, and find their way back to each other.That seemed impossible right now. They had chosen their respective sides and were drifting farther apart with every step."Since Mr. Hunt and Madam Francine won't be back until tonight at the earliest, why don't I keep Timothy company for a while? As for you two, maybe spend some time talking."Quinton spread

    "Exactly. You narcissistic brat. Who do you think you are? I couldn't care less what happens to you. I'm only worried about my granddaughter-in-law getting hurt!"Timothy shot Stefan an irritated look. The more he looked at him, the more annoyed he felt.Stefan rubbed the bridge of his nose awkwardly. "Grandpa, what did I do this time? Why does it feel like every time you see me, you want to skin me alive? Seriously, which one of us is actually your family?"He was complaining, but there was a trace of satisfaction in his voice.Despite the divorce, it felt as if nothing had really changed.His family still treated Renee like one of their own. Their relationship with her hadn't grown distant because of the divorce.That gave him a sense of comfort. To him, it felt like maybe nothing had truly changed. Maybe all the grudges and resentment could eventually disappear because of the genuine bond they shared."Are you asking what you did wrong?"Timothy glared at him. "You someh

    "Grandpa, you're being dramatic again."Stefan's voice came from the entrance to the living room. It was obvious he had arrived some time ago and had witnessed the entire exchange."What are you doing here?"The moment Renee saw him, murderous fury flashed in her eyes. Instinctively, she pulled Quinton behind her as if he were the one who needed protection.More than twenty years ago, her twin brother had been torn away from their family because of these people. More than twenty years later, she would never allow anything like that to happen again.It didn't matter that Quinton was now a grown man who was fully capable of protecting himself. To her, he would always be that helpless infant wrapped in blankets."I knew you'd come today. That's why I came too," Stefan answered casually.His tone was so relaxed, as if the resentment between them didn't exist. He acted like they were still an ordinary married couple.Wherever his wife went, as her husband, he naturally followed.Re

    The confusion in Timothy's eyes deepened. His voice carried a note of urgency as he looked at Quinton. "What do you mean by that? The Hunt family and the Everheart family have always been close allies. Your grandfather and I were closer than brothers. How could the Hunt family possibly have done anything to hurt the Everheart family?""Timothy, you're too sharp not to know something. Back then…"Quinton was about to lay everything out when Renee quickly grabbed his arm."Quinton!"After taking a deep breath, her voice thickened with emotion. "Grandpa Timothy is old. He had a heart transplant a few years ago, and he's still very weak. Don't say things that will upset him. He and Grandpa shared a bond forged through life and death. After the Everheart family fell apart, he was the one who protected me every step of the way."Quinton parted his lips slightly. All the anger and resentment he wanted to unleash were suppressed.His sister's reminder was subtle but clear. He couldn'

    "N-No."Unable to meet Timothy's gaze, Renee lowered her head.She still didn't know whether Timothy had known about her brother being taken away all those years ago. If he had known, she wasn't sure she could believe in human nature anymore.She couldn't imagine how someone who had helped cause so much pain to her family could still act as if nothing had happened and continue treating her like his own granddaughter.If that were true, then even Francine's cold attitude would seem more understandable.So she chose to believe Timothy hadn't known.And if he truly hadn't known, she didn't want him learning the full truth now.The whole situation was ugly and shameful enough already. She didn't want to burden him with that kind of guilt."No, something's definitely bothering you. Come tell me about it. Maybe I can help."Leaning on his cane, Timothy spoke to her with the same patience one might use to comfort a child.To him, Renee was still a child. She was a poor child who had

    “Master Hunt, we're sorry. We know we were wrong. We really do. Please, just give us one more chance!”The maids were trembling. They were so terrified they looked ready to drop to their knees and beg Stefan for forgiveness.Stefan calmly adjusted the buttons of his tailored dress shirt. His expression remained unreadable. "Why are you all so nervous? I just want you to tell me the truth.""T-The truth about what?" One of the maids looked up and asked cautiously."Do you honestly believe your Mrs. Hunt loves me more than anyone else?"Stefan repeated the question.This time, a crack seemed to appear in the cold, untouchable CEO persona he always portrayed. Behind it was a man full of insecurity who desperately searched for proof that he was loved.That's because he knew the past he had worked so hard to bury had finally come to light. Renee knew everything now.The fact that she had come today meant they were standing on opposite sides at last. Any hope of keeping her in the da

    Renee did a double take as she wondered what Stefan was talking about. "Who else would I come for?"Stefan stayed silent, and simply stared at her with a meaningful look in her eyes.Renee lost her patience, and glanced at her surroundings before quietly saying, "I've cried and begged—I've prostrated

    "Oh, yeah, it's you, Joan! I can finally see properly. Hey old friend!" The two were especially friendly with her.Nearly everyone in the hospital knew who Renee was, as she had been frequenting the place with Jovan for his medical treatments and checkups. Hence, all of them were familiar with each o

    This man had ended up in this state solely because of her. If she left after manipulating him, she could not live with herself. "Oh, gosh! What should I do?"She closed her eyes in a dilemma. She was in deep pain. At that time, she heard a bang. A giant noise came from the antique shop before the who

    Unexpectedly, she saw Stefan leaning against the wall outside the ward as soon as she opened the door. The incandescent lamp in the corridor hit him, casting a long shadow on the floor.Wearing a cold face, she kept quiet and was about to close the door when…"Let's have a chat."He looked up and sugge
