The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1292
Angelo extended his hand. "Mr. Stuart, you're busy so it's hard to see you. Are you here as a guest, or did you come for a visit? Why didn't the crew inform us?" The shooting had ended because it was night, so they could not tell if Xavier was a guest or merely there for a visit."We're here to see someone. May I know if Shirley is around?" Leia asked directly."Shirley?" Angelo became annoyed when Shirley's name was mentioned. He said indifferently, "She's a princess. Of course, she won't stay here.""What do you mean? Don't tell me she's not here!" Leia almost broke down. It was a long car ride, and she had soldiered through the muddy road and water path before finally arriving on the set. If they told her that Shirley was not there, she'd go mad."No, she's not staying here now. When the cameras are rolling, she'll be here." Angelo smiled bitterly."Where is she now?" Leia hurriedly asked."She's having a rest in town. Although we have bedrooms here, that princess can't stan

"Yes!""No!"Xavier and Leia spoke at the same time. Xavier wanted to stay in the same room as Leia, but Leia felt that it wasn't a good idea to get close to him since they had officially broken up with each other."Umm… it's up to the both of you, I guess. Either way, wash up and rest well; there'll be a grand welcoming feast for the both of you early tomorrow morning. If you're not comfortable with the arrangement…" Lily thought about it for a while, then pointed at a small thatched shed nearby. "There's a cowshed over there. We can set up a bed there, and you can make do with it for one night. We don't suggest it though, because the cows are very stinky and may try to knock you down.""Are you serious?" Leia forced a smile, but was inwardly cursing. She knew that the conditions were hard at Happy Days, but surely it couldn't be so bad that she had to stay in a cow shed. "It's late. The both of you should head to bed, don't worry about us…" Xavier hugged Leia's shoulders and

While complaining, Leia hurried to follow Xavier.The only bedroom looked rather ordinary. There was an old wooden bed, and although there was a new mattress on it, the room had bumpy floors and a leaking roof. It was not much better than the cowshed. The most horrible thing was that one had to use the water prepared in the tank for washing up—there was no tap water or hot water. Water had to be boiled on the spot if one wanted to take a bath and wash their face. It was extremely inconvenient."I get why Shirley did that now..." Leia swallowed. "We can't blame her for being a diva. It's not easy to stay here.""I think this place is pretty good." Xavier accepted his fate and flopped down onto the bed leisurely. He put his arms under his head and smiled contentedly. "The bed is rather soft, and we can look at the stars. How romantic!""Is that so? Coincidentally, I'm allergic to romance," Leia said grumpily. She pulled a chair over and sat down on it cross-legged, as if she was medi

"Get lost!" Leia knew that he could never speak nicely. After she drove him out of the room, she quickly locked the door. She was a bit tired after the shower, so she decided to rest early that night.She had to battle against Shirley the next day.Leia woke up a few hours later, and felt rather sorry for him. She opened the door, and as expected, saw him squatting outside the door pitifully. He looked like a homeless puppy."You're awake?" Xavier looked up, his eyes watery.Leia looked at him, half expecting him to burst into tears. She sighed and said, "Forget it. Go and sleep in the room. I'll sleep in the cow shed." After all, she was a tough woman. She could handle sleeping in the cowshed, but it was cruel to ask a rich young heir like Xavier to sleep there."Thanks!" Xavier did not hesitate at all, and dashed into the room eagerly. Gone was his pitiful act and puppy dog eyes.'Leia Osborne, you're a fool! He tricked you!' Leia cursed silently as she returned to the room to

Leia stopped Xavier from going further, and said quietly, "If you do this, I'll just be like all the other women you've dated. You'll just use me to sate your lust, and leave me when you get bored. It makes me feel cheap."They had said that during their previous fight. She knew that it had been said out of spite, but her heart ached every time she thought about it."But I'll never get bored of you..." Xavier murmured hoarsely. He closed his eyes and touched her skin, allowing his instincts to guide him. He had to admit that even though their relationship wasn't deep, their bodies were compatible. He didn't want to give her up so easily because of that."You're still talking nonsense. Don't you realize that it matters to me? Don't you think you should discuss it with me? Or am I just a tool to you, so you feel you don't have to waste your time talking to me?" Unable to stand it, Leia pushed him away and asked him, her eyes watery. She was reluctant to accept that they had broken u

Leia was enraged by his response. She grabbed a blanket and pillow then stormed off towards the cowshed. 'Hmph! I'd rather sleep with cows than with a scumbag like you!' She gritted her teeth as she thought so. However, when she arrived at the cowshed, she found that the rich smell of cows, cow manure, and grass was too much for her. She soon returned to the room. At the moment, Xavier was sound asleep."Sleep on the floor, damn it!" Leia threw the blanket and pillow on him before she kicked him onto the floor. Satisfied, she got onto the bed.Xavier was sleeping soundly, but woke up with a start as he landed on the floor. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and crawled back into bed, then hugged her and said, "Baby, stop messing around!"He dozed off again, and Leia was at a loss for words. She wanted to kick him away but he hugged her like they were a couple who had made up with each other after a fight. She couldn't bear to kick him away either. "Forget it. What an ill-fated relationsh

Adam was put in a dilemma but he gritted his teeth and said, "It's fine. We'll resolve it. We'll build a new house now. I think it'll be done when we shoot the next season of Happy Days, so we'll invite you as a guest then."Xavier waved. "Alright, carry on with your work. I'm too busy to join a variety show.""Yeah, I overlooked that. You must be very busy, so you can't join such a childish thing. I should have watched my tongue." Adam's flattery filled Leia with discomfort. Flattering and bullying in the entertainment circle were indeed quite bold and outrageous. She recalled watching the interesting highlights of the behind-the-scenes of Happy Days. The celebrities also fawned over Adam, and at that time, she felt that he was an upright man and different from the other celebrities.Unexpectedly, everyone in the entertainment circle was realistic about building connections. When Leia saw Adam turn to leave, she immediately asked, "Mr. Jiminez, can I ask you a question?" Adam s

A tinge of panic crept into Shirley's eyes, but she was an actress who had undergone professional training, so she soon regained her wits. "Oh, that... Yes, I seem to have contacted him because I needed to get my skin booster again, so I made an appointment with him in advance. Miss Osborne, do you need it too? I can recommend him to you." She lifted her chin and smiled at Leia, but the provocation was clear. "Stop pretending. You know it isn't as simple as that." Leia was so angry that she rushed to Shirley to confront her."Miss Osborne, please behave yourself. Shirley is a celebrity, so please keep some distance from her." The agent extended her hand to block Shirley from Leia.Shirley looked at Xavier and sneered, "I didn't expect your taste to be this... special." "What do you mean? Speak clearly!" Leia demanded, sensing that Shirley was mocking her."Mr. Jiminez, didn't you say we were about to start shooting? Why is everyone still standing here?" Shirley ignored Leia as

"Do you want to leave?" Stefan saw Renee. He was calm, indifferent, and distant. His behavior stung Renee. Renee could easily recall their lovey-dovey memories. They had both risked their lives for each other and vowed to be together forever. They had two children, too. Yet, they ended up as strangers.Although Renee was heartbroken, she became competitive. She smoothed her hair and said in a similarly cold manner, "I'm going to the washroom." "Okay." Stefan did not have anything to say. He nodded and walked past Renee before heading to the dining table. "Hmph! I didn't expect you to come so boldly," Quinton sneered.At the sight of Stefan, Quinton subconsciously clenched his fists, acting like he was about to fight Stefan. On the surface, he wouldn't act aggressively because he knew Renee would stop him. "It's not easy for the few great families to get together. It's good and meaningful for us. If I refused to come, it would make me seem heartless."Stefan kept his co

Having said that, Renee lowered her head, about to leave. She didn't even have the time to bother about Adie and Abby, and told Quinton to take them home later. Her strange behavior filled Quinton with displeasure. He blocked Renee and said solemnly, "Are you afraid? Do you want to run away? People might think that you're guilty and have cheated on your husband!""No, I'm not!" Renee refuted him loudly, then explained seriously, "I'm busy. I need to handle something right away. Plus, I'm not guilty. I did nothing wrong. There's no reason for me to feel guilty." Quinton went straight to the point. "What are you afraid of since you know you're not guilty? Why do you want to run away? He should be afraid instead!""I told you. I'm not afraid of him. I'm just…" "What?" Quinton crossed his arms and looked at Renee coldly. He wanted to get to the bottom of it.Renee came up with a ridiculous yet normal excuse. "I… I recalled that the dessert shop that I want to head to is about to

Jovan called Stefan to sound the latter out. Anyway, it would be convenient for Stefan to rush over since they were both at the same spot. "I'll be right there," Stefan said. Then, he hung up.For a moment, silence washed over everyone, as if something terrible was about to happen.After taking in the new information, Leia said indignantly, "What's going on? Why does he want to come? Isn't he too shameless? How dare he come?" Although everything wasn't discussed openly, everyone knew why Stefan and Renee broke up all of a sudden, despite how lovey-dovey they were. The reason was that Stefan had cheated on Renee.Even if the adultery was faked, it was still the cause of their breakup. If Stefan were shameful or guilty, he wouldn't have agreed to come. He was going to face Renee there with their friends and family around. Certainly, it was embarrassing. "Hmph! Why not? He impersonated me, seized my business, and snatched away my woman. Plus, he led a steady life, got married
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2422
Jovan's words made the atmosphere quiet and bizarre. "Are you out of your mind, Jovan? It's already very annoying to have someone like you here. Do you have to get another annoying guy?" Leia frowned, crossing her arms. She kept scolding him.Initially, the atmosphere was considered harmonious. It was still considered fine even if there was an annoying person like Jovan. Unexpectedly, he wanted to call another, more terrible person to come here. Things would certainly go wrong. "Ms. Osborne, you're famous for talking harshly, too. You're just like me. I love it." However, Jovan was not mad at all. He grinned while waiting for Stefan to answer the call. Generally, Stefan would not answer Jovan's call. Surprisingly, he picked it up that time."What's the matter?" Jovan purposely put it on speaker mode. Stefan sounded aloof and emotionless.Jovan sounded wicked as he calmly asked Stefan, "Do you want to join a gathering, Stefan?""I'm going to hang up if you don't say anythi

In the past, Jovan had always regarded Stefan as a coward. Stefan couldn't forget about Renee, but he kept pushing Renee to another man. It seemed like Justin was more responsible, considerate, and gentle. Of course, Renee would lead a very happy, steady, and comfortable life with such a man. At the very least, Jovan felt that he could not be that meticulous and considerate. He would only drive Renee mad just to get her attention. "Hmph! Are you trying to humiliate me or yourself?" Justin didn't find that a compliment. Instead, it sounded like smockery. Jovan made it sound like Justin was a nice guy, but would not be picked by Renee. Usually, people like that had to suffer and would not end up well."I'm praising you." Jovan was helpless because of his reputation as the villain. Although he had said a lot of annoying things, he did want to compliment Justin. His love was probably as deep as Justin's, but his and Stefan's ways of loving Renee were much inferior to Justin's.
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2420
"That's unnecessary." Justin stood in front of Renee, his face cold. He said firmly, "She's unwell and can't have wine." "Is she unwell? I didn't see that." Jovan sized Renee up before he sized Justin up. Then, he sneered, "And who are you to her? You can't stop her from having wine.""It's none of your business who I am to her. I said she can't have wine." Justin always kept peace with others, but at that moment, he was dominant. He didn't always want to control Renee, but she had drunk a lot of wine that day. It might have hurt her belly. Hence, he felt it better for her to abstain from wine lately. However, Jovan was unaware of that affair. He simply found Justin purposely showing his ownership over Renee, which disgusted him."Waiter, get her a glass of milk. She only wants that," Justin instructed a waiter, showing his consideration for Renee. "It's okay. I can have a little wine. Plus, I'm rather good at drinking. It's not easy for everyone to get together tonight. I do

They danced for around ten minutes. Renee danced to the song heartily. Her initial gloomy mood also improved.Renee drank some water and took a few deep breaths. Then, she sincerely praised Leia, "Alright. Your welcome ceremony is bizarre, but it helped relieve my stress. I like it very much!"She could tell that Leia had painstakingly prepared that gift for her. After all, it was not easy to ask the Zambawi people from primitive tribes to sing an English song. "I'm glad you like it. I did this because I wanted you to relax and stop taking things seriously. You need to stop being so hard on yourself and get rid of all the pressure!" Leia said honestly. The Zambawi hand-drum dance came with the charms of a primitive dance. Its goal was to set people free. Of course, it was suitable for Renee to relieve her stress."Yeah, your stress is relieved. From now on, you'll start afresh. This is for you. I'm sure it'll be one of your happy memories." Liam handed the previous Polaroid to

"This is your welcome ceremony. This hand-drum dance is to help eliminate bad luck." Leia held Renee's arm, satisfied with her arrangement. She said happily, "Listen to their song! It's a great song!""Is there a song?" Renee frowned; she felt that Leia was always doing bizarre things. She wondered how Leia could come up with such a preposterous welcome ceremony."Mm, listen carefully! It's English. You can understand it." At that point, Leia said to the Zambawi people, "Put on your microphone. And sing louder."The Zambawi people gave their cooperation. They used their typical Zambawi singing to sing the English song. While listening to the song, Renee found it very familiar. "The flowers will bloom in spring, and the birds are free. I'm still waiting, waiting for my love to come back. Hurry home!""Isn't that Spring Flowers by Curtis Harrett?" Renee finally recalled what song it was. It was a song with a happy beat. It could make people happy. The Zambawi people made th

"I don't know, either. All I ever remember from when I was young is that I led a very painful life. I once tried my best to make the Garcia family accept me. I did all the dirty and tiring jobs. I went out to work at an early age to get money for them. I also did all the house chores. "But my foster parents were never nice to me. They would always beat me up or scold me. My elder foster brother also saw me as an eyesore. He always tried to get me killed…" Quinton calmly described his past. He no longer seemed to be in pain. All that was left in him was numbness, as if he were talking about someone else.However, Renee was always in pain whenever she heard him talk about his past. She felt like she had returned to his past with him and experienced those painful things. It was normal for her to feel that way because they were twins. A lot of their thoughts and feelings were synchronized. "I suddenly recalled that I would inexplicably become gloomy many times when I was young. I
