The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1557
"A breakthrough?" "Yes, a point of realization for you both that will finally make the both of you choose each other." Renee hoped they could reach that point because both she and Stefan had experienced it too. She knew full well how terrible it felt to be trapped in an ambiguous relationship; Leia and Xavier would only realize that they were meant for each other after going through hardships together.As the night went on, Renee and Leia's conversations grew deeper. Leia had spoken a lot, and after a while, she fell asleep with tears on her cheeks. However, Renee couldn't fall asleep because she felt like this was just the calm before the storm...What she didn't know was that Jovan's car was parked outside the manor.The street lights illuminated Jovan's face as he sat in the car, bathing half of his face in light and the other in darkness. It reflected his current state well—he never knew if he was a good person or a bad one. He had been waiting for a long time outside the mano

"A mini tracker?" Impressed, Stefan gave her a thumbs-up. "That's pretty amazing—I didn't even know you did it. You're better than those secret agents in the movies.""Of course! I'm better than them, so you'd better appreciate me. Treat me badly and you'll suffer the consequences," Renee said smugly."I wouldn't dare. I'll be loyal to you for the rest of my life.""That's more like it! Good boy." Renee patted his head indulgently and muttered, "It's freezing. Hurry up and carry me to bed. I want to sleep." After spending a few days together, she had gotten used to hugging him in bed. It was probably the reason why she couldn't sleep, and so she had sought him out."Come here. I've warmed the bed for you," Stefan said gently and led her to bed. It was the best thing in the world to have a warm bed on a cold night. Renee curled up on her side while Stefan hugged her from behind. She felt safe and warm in his arms, and after a while, she started to feel sleepy. However, Stefan's

If Jovan managed to bribe Timothy, Stefan would have less power in the Hunt family, and would be considered inferior to Jovan. Stefan's head started to hurt at the thought of it, but he didn't tell Renee about it because he didn't want her to suffer with him. "It's more than enough to have you and the kids. Nothing else is important... Just sleep!" Stefan sighed heavily and whispered.Renee heard the underlying disappointment in his tone, and started to worry. She wanted to help him.Stefan planned to go to Hunt Enterprise early the next morning while Leia stayed in the manor to help take care of Renee."Don't take her out again. I won't forgive you if yesterday's incident happens again," Stefan told Leia firmly before he left."Fine, I won't take her out, but don't worry even if I do because my throat is cured. If anyone dares to bully me, I'll scold them," Leia promised as she drank a glass of milk.Stefan stared at her oddly, then shook his head and walked off. Maybe it would h

"I'm pregnant?" Renee shook her head and said firmly, "That's impossible.""Why not? Just do the test and we'll see." Leia thought about it for a while, then said cheerfully, "Well, I'll go get the pregnancy test kit. Wait for me!" Immediately, she went to a nearby pharmacy to buy one. When she returned, she found Tess, the part-timer, making coffee. "What are you adding to it?" Leia glanced at it and asked Tess."Oh, nothing." Feeling guilty, Tess upset the cup of coffee and said in a panic, "It's sugar. Ms. Everheart hates bitter coffee, so she asked me to add some sugar to it.""Really?" Leia frowned, wondering when Renee's taste had changed since she always had sugar-free coffee. However, she didn't think about it much and just headed upstairs to give Renee the pregnancy test kit. At first, Renee was reluctant to take the test because she was certain that she wasn't pregnant, but after Leia persuaded her, she braced herself and did the test. After a while, Leia squealed excite

"Honestly, I didn't think I could get pregnant because we took precautions." Renee was very surprised, but she would certainly give birth to the child. "That means that it's written in the stars. This child is yours to have, and you can't stop it! Haha! I'm sure Mr. Hunt will be overjoyed to hear he's going to have another child!" Leia grinned, sincerely happy for Renee."What's there to be happy about? It's not a good time for us to have a baby." Renee sighed deeply, feeling worried. It was a stressful period for both of them, especially Stefan. He had to gain a firm foothold as the president of Hunt Enterprise, and he also had to take care of Renee since she was blind. If they had another child, he alone would have to take care of four people, and the stress would be unimaginable. Another child right now just meant another weakness for others to exploit; it really was bad timing."Stop overthinking—you're already pregnant. You felt the same about Abby and Adie back then, but look
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1562
"It's nothing." Knowing Leia's character, Renee didn't want to tell her anything until she figured out the truth. Tess was a recently hired part-timer whose sole job was to take care of Renee. She was kind and hardworking, and although Renee had never seen Tess, she could tell from their daily interactions that Tess was a nice person. She didn't seem like the type to harm Renee, but Renee wondered why Tess would lie for no reason. She thought about it for a while, then sent Leia off with a casual excuse and called Tess into her room."Ms. Everheart, is there anything I can do for you?" After getting things done in the kitchen, Tess wiped her hands clean and hurried upstairs. She always did her best, and her work was smooth and neat; Renee honestly didn't have anything to complain about."I heard that you added sugar to my coffee today?" Renee asked Tess directly. "I was mistaken. It wasn't sugar, but just another ingredient to make the coffee taste better." Tess knew that Leia woul

Renee's tone was light but firm. She never employed people she couldn't trust, and didn't dare to let Tess stay no matter what difficulty she was facing."Ms. Everheart, I... I've wronged you, but I beg you—please don't send me away. I don't care if you don't pay me, but if you fire me, my... my mother is doomed!" Tess dropped to her knees in front of Renee, sobbing loudly. That woman told her that she would never see her mother again if the plan failed, so she had to keep working there."So, someone kidnapped your mother to threaten you and make you harm me… Is that what you're saying?" Renee asked Tess sharply."I... I..." "I stand by what I said—I might be able to help you if you tell me the truth now."Tess thought about it briefly, looked around to confirm that the woman was not around, then confessed, "Yes, someone threatened me a few days ago. It was a woman, but I don't know her name. I couldn't even see her face because she wore a mask, but she seemed mysterious and wick

Timothy's health was bad, and he was confined to his bed in Hunt Manor with an IV drip to survive. He called Stefan and Jovan to his bed that night."Stefan." Timothy sounded weak, but he was happy to see his grandson. He waved at Stefan. "Come here.""Grandpa!" Stefan's heart twisted when he saw how feeble Timothy was, and his eyes glistened with unshed tears as he approached him. "I heard from your mother that you were at Ren's place recently. Finally, you didn't let me down, and you did what was right..." Timothy held Stefan's hand, his dull eyes shining with joy again. The person he had worried about the most was Renee, since he felt like he had treated her unfairly."I swore to my old comrade that I would make Ren happy when he entrusted her to me, but you failed me and made Ren suffer. I was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer him." At that point, Timothy's eyes started to water. He had always been strong and righteous his whole life, and he felt like the only person h

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.

"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

"I'm sorry." When Renee heard that from Quinton, she realized the conflict between him and Stefan had yet to be resolved. It was temporarily put aside because of her. She occasionally saw him and Stefan talk to each other and drink together, but they merely put on a show to ease her mind. Their hatred for each other hadn't been eliminated. Instead, it was growing secretly. If Renee were Quinton, she might never forgive the person who had snatched away her beloved and seized her identity. That person even ruined her face."Why did you say sorry to me? It's the resentment between him and me. It has nothing to do with you. Plus, I didn't know he was my brother-in-law then. If I knew, I wouldn't have fought him." When Quinton recalled those affairs, he realized that people were nothing but the sport of fate. If there had been no resentment between him and Stefan, Renee might not have broken up with Stefan. Their families might even get closer. "Stop bringing up the past. It's

During these days, Renee was under pressure because of her affairs. She had no chance to ask Quinton about it. Now, the long flight gave them a chance to have a deep conversation. They could talk about their woes and seek consolation."Me?" Quinton lowered his head and shook his head helplessly. "I'm still the same old me. Nothing is troubling me. I've been busy with Carmine Pawnshop. I have no time to think about other stuff.""You have no time?" Renee touched her chin and smiled naughtily. "Then, you must have been dwelling on other stuff. Let me guess… Is it the thing between you and Joanne?" "Stop asking so much." Quinton did not deny it but refused to talk much about that. "It looks like I made the right guess. You fell out with Joanne, didn't you?" Renee knew Quinton well. Generally, his work would not affect his mood. The only person who could affect his mood was Joanne, who shared a complicated relationship with him. Before Renee left Beach City, she had created a l
