Quinton gazed at Renee, sensing the sadness behind her smile. It broke his heart. "I'm sorry." Feeling guilty, Quinton apologized to Renee. "It's my fault for letting you recall those things, but don't worry. I won't find fault with Stefan or force you to pick sides." Although he never truly forgot about his hatred toward Stefan and dreamed of hacking him into pieces, he could suppress his feelings when he recalled how Renee suffered because of it. For now, he could only dream of making Stefan's life miserable."Thank you… I mean it." Renee's eyes were watery too. She knew how hard it was for Quinton to let go of his resentment for Stefan, and understood how he was compromising for her. Yes, he was a bad person, but he was trying hard to change for her sake. She hoped that he could one day become a truly nice person. "What's your plan now?" Renee asked Quinton curiously after she had calmed down. "I don't really know…" Quinton spread his hands, looking helpless. "You know how it i

Quinton smiled bitterly. "Do you think it's suitable for me to approach anyone given my condition? I'll only hurt them if I get close. It's been so many years since we last met, but she would rather die than be near me. What do you think I can do?" "I know Joanne's actions made you feel hopeless, but both of you are too extreme. You both have serious issues you need to settle." Renee patiently comforted Quinton. "But you're a man. If you want to make things better, you can only start from yourself." "What can I do?" Quinton shook his head. "I told you—I have no love and don't know how to show love. All I ever do is harm others.""You don't have love, but I do. You don't know how to show love, but I do!" Renee smacked her chest and said confidently, "Honestly, I'm an experienced kiss-ass. Stefan was the only man I loved back then, and when I married him, I tried my best to please him for many years. However, his reaction was worse than Joanne's—he didn't take me seriously and even

"What she likes best…" Quinton frowned and tried to recall it. "The thing she used to love the most was… nice food.""What?" Renee's eyes grew wide in surprise. Joanne was such a sensitive, timid, and world-weary person now… but maybe she used to be passionate and lively back then."When she was young, she loved eating and was chubby. Her favorite food was s'mores pops," Quinton recalled slowly, unable to hide the smile on his face. "My foster mother doted on her back then, and she would sometimes bring Joanne to the market to buy Joanne her favorite s'mores pops. Joanne would always enjoy them, and she'd stuff her mouth full of them. Even though it was her favourite food, she would always keep some for me in her clothes. When she came home, all of them would have melted…" Quinton recalled how Joanne would drag him to a corner every time she came home from the market, then dig in her clothes, telling him she would give him the most wonderful thing in the world. However, the s'mores p

Renee went to the kitchen half an hour later. She had ordered the ingredients to make s'mores pops, and they had arrived.Quinton had an apron on and was watching tutorials on how to make s'mores pops on his phone. He kept muttering the steps, "First, wash fruits like blueberries, grapes, and strawberries. Then, toast the marshmallow over a flame until it turns golden brown…" Renee assisted him and was responsible for handing him equipment or ingredients. She had no chance at all to make any s'mores pops. Quinton toasted the marshmallow seriously, as if he was talking business or inspecting a rare treasure. Renee was mesmerized watching him, and felt that she would fall in love with him if he were not her brother. As expected, men looked very charming when they were passionately doing something. Besides, she knew that he had a soft heart even though he said otherwise. On the surface, he looked like a male chauvinist who refused to cook, but he could actually cook well. He always coo

The atmosphere in the guest room on the second floor was harmonious. Margaret sat beside the table and smiled fondly at Joanne as if she were looking at the future matriarch of the Everheart family. "Miss, you're Joanne, right?" Margaret smiled and asked gently. "You are?" It was the first time Joanne met Margaret, but she found her very friendly and warm, like Joanne's late mother. Margaret had a temperament that would put anyone at ease. "I'm a nanny here. Call me Margaret," Margaret humbly introduced herself and asked Joanne, "I heard from Ms. Ren that you led quite a difficult life. What happened to make you take things so hard? Why did you want to kill yourself?" "I…" Joanne shook her head as her eyes turned watery. "I don't know how to explain it. I might have found it easier to die at that moment." When she met Quinton again at the school where her new life had begun, it felt like she had met a demon who wanted to grab her and pull her down to hell. If she did not use her
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2003
As the child of a physician, Margaret could cure many difficult and rare diseases. She felt that Joanne's gloominess was the result of her weak body, and that she would one day get better as long as she nourished her body well."Just stay here and rest. I have a bit of medical knowledge and can help your body recover. As long as you feel better and more energized, you won't feel depressed or want to kill yourself." At that point, Margaret held Joanne's hand and carefully took her pulse. Instantly, her expression turned serious. "Oh, gosh! What's wrong with your pulse? Oh, you poor girl. What have you been through?" Margaret was a medical expert, and could glimpse into people's past just by taking their pulse. She felt quite sorry for Joanne. "You suffered a lot a few years back, and no normal person would be able to take that. No wonder you feel so hopeless… Anyone else wouldn't have been able to hold on." While talking, Margaret started getting teary. "Oh, girl. You've suffered so mu

"You're a friend who's very dear to me. I hope you can be happy, even without Quinton as the reason." Renee looked at Joanne, and sounded very sincere. "So, stop overthinking. Relax and stay here. Margaret is a great physician. She'll help you get better. Once you get better, you'll have the energy and confidence to do whatever you want, including being a teacher. Am I right?" "Ms. Everheart…" Joanne looked at Renee in a daze. Her eyes grew redder because she was quite touched. "You're a nice person. No wonder Mr. Hunt likes you. You guys are really very kind." "Well, I'm not that good either. I'm not nice to everyone. I like you, so I'm nice to you. Plus, it's written in the stars for us." Renee sounded casual, as she refused to make it very melancholic. Honestly, she didn't find herself a kind person. She was nice to Joanne simply because she wanted to make it up to the latter, for Quinton's sake."This…" Hurriedly, Renee handed the plate of s'mores pops to Joanne. "They'r
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2005
After a brief silence, Joanne finally spoke up. "They don't taste like the ones I had when I was young… The ones I had when I was young were very sweet. But this isn't that sweet. It's a bit sour, but… There's a sweet aftertaste.""Ha, ha, ha! That's great. Well, it's bad if the s'mores pops are just sweet. I like them sour and sweet. It's more challenging." Renee made some meaningful comments, and started having one s'mores pop too. "Mm… It's good! I've got to say that Quinton cooks well. I feel like getting him into catering." Renee had never tasted such delicious s'mores pops. She had a few of them at one go, and smugly started talking about Quinton again.But Joanne was no longer that repulsed. She even chimed in, "Yeah, you're right. He's good at cooking. He was always the one who cooked when we were young.""Is…that so?" Renee was speaking carefully. She held her breath for fear that Joanne might regain her wits and start hating Quinton again. At least, she could tell from J

Justin smiled and described the children's experiences, acting like a stepfather. When he talked about the children, he made it sound like they were his biological children. Stefan didn't look so good. He felt that the glass of wine was getting bitter."Well, I'm sure kids will find everything new and exciting when they go to a new place. But they'll get bored with it when time passes. They'll love their real home better." Stefan had wanted to act relaxed and casual, but he could not stop himself from refuting when he heard Justin's provocative words. "Mm?" Leia sat beside Liam and leaned against his arm, and whispered, "What are they doing? This is weird. Are they going to fight?""It's just a competition between men. They won't get into a fight." Liam kept eating and watching the fun. He merely found it amusing. As expected, Renee was greatly admired. Although she remained silent, she would always be in the limelight. Liam was amused to see people like Stefan or Justin

"How dare you!"Stefan's words instantly made Leia speechless. She had wanted to rebuke him, but he snatched the chance from her and struck her dumb.In short, he was an utter scumbag.After a moment, Leia finally managed to comment, "How shameless!" Justin had kept silent all the while. He looked at Stefan with a scrutinizing and mocking gaze. "Mr. Hunt, I admire your honesty and self-awareness. If that's the case, let's stop being reserved and have fun together!""Yes, let's have fun together. I'm shameless, too!" Liam joined in the effort to mock Stefan. He swayed his glass of wine and faked a smile. "I've known her a long time, so of course I know what shameless things Mr. Hunt has done. I think I'd better grab this chance to tell you all of them since everyone is here today."Standing at the door, Renee was worried that Liam might say more indecent things. She hurriedly stopped him. "Pipe down, Liam!" "Got it." Liam shrugged helplessly but obeyed her.Although he yea

"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.

"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
