The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2023
Francine shook off Alexander's hand grumpily, her gesture immature and childish. She kept on arguing with Timothy. "Dad, I'm sad too! We're separated from our grandkids, and we find it hard too. But what can we do? Young people nowadays care a lot about their freedom. What's important is how comfortable they feel. I don't find anything wrong with that. If all they feel when they're together is pain, they should be apart. We should also learn to be open-minded and accept it. Don't you think so?" For a long time, Timothy stared at Francine quietly. It was unknown if he was angry at her, or convinced by her words. After a long pause, he looked at Francine before glancing at Alexander. Sneering, he said, "You're advocating freedom now, yes, but you weren't so nice to talk to in the past. If I acted like you back then and let Alexander follow his heart and do what he finds comfortable, he might have long broken up with you. You know that very well. The woman he loved the most back the

Francine, Timothy, and Alexander were dumbstruck. They stared at Stefan, who was at the door, as well as the woman in his arms. They were flabbergasted. "Oh, you're all home." Stefan looked perfectly calm. To the servant beside him, he ordered, "Edith, get me some green tea and bring it upstairs for me later." Then, he kept walking calmly. His composure was such that it made others feel awkward instead. At that time, Renee had her arms around his neck and her head buried in his arms. She was drunk and unconscious. "Now, just a minute…!" Timothy said.Moments ago, he was angry with Stefan. Seeing Stefan arriving home with a woman in his arms, Timothy's fury surged. "Are you trying to drive me up the wall?" he yelled. "I can't tolerate you engaging in casual relationships with other women, and now, you bring your indecent woman home! Don't you have any respect for me?" Stefan frowned; he guessed that Timothy had not recognized Renee. However, he didn't explain much. "This

On the other hand, Francine stood where she was and watched Stefan for a long time. Then, she asked Stefan seriously, "Who's the woman in your arms? You weren't that interested in women in the past. Why are you engaging in such ambiguous relationships with indecent women lately?"You betrayed your wife for that scheming Briar. Now, you've fallen head over heels for another woman. Are you sick? Is there something wrong with your hormones? Have you become a womanizer?" Hearing that, Stefan's face turned livid. As expected, his mother had a vicious tongue."I have nothing to say. You should all turn in early!" he snarled. He bypassed Alexander and Timothy, who were blocking him, as well as Francine, who was blocking the stairs, and thundered upstairs.The remaining three were left looking at each other in dismay and confusion. "Was I over the line just now?" Francine started reflecting on herself. She lowered her head as tears filled her eyes. "He's always so proud and noble, b

Stefan carried Renee to his bedroom on the second floor, and gently put her in bed.After such an endeavor, he was already sweating and gasping. "You're so heavy! Looks like you didn't skip meals even when you were sad!"After settling her down, he yanked his tie and unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt before looking at her.He was glad he could hold her in his arms again. He thought he could never do that again. After experiencing it again, he felt steady and happy—it was a feeling he couldn't put into words. Aside from that, she looked fine. It seemed she could eat and sleep well lately. Her cheeks were plumper, making her look chubby and less fierce than before. She looked adorable. Seeing her like that, Stefan's worries were eased. They could still lead normal and happy lives even if they were separated. It was another form of luck.Stefan bent over and patted her face before whispering gently in her ears, "Do you want some water?"Renee's eyes were closed, but when she he

Stefan felt quite desperate when he saw the mess on the bed and his body. Renee might be the only one who could boldly vomit on him and his bed. He vowed to make her stop drinking wine again. Although he was angry, he couldn't do anything about her. A long sigh escaped him as he took off his shirt. Then, he went downstairs shirtless."Stefan, you… You can't be so open even if you found true love. Did you forget you're not alone at home?" Francine said.Francine was about to head upstairs to check the situation out. When she saw her son come downstairs in that state, she got so scared that her expression changed. She covered her lips, and looked away from him."She vomited, so I asked Edith to clean it up," Stefan explained helplessly. After going downstairs, he took a bottle of iced water from the fridge and gulped it down to calm his arousal. Since they were alone in the living room, Francine walked to Stefan and tried to sound him out. "Hurry up and tell me what's going on."
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2028
"Yes." A sudden silence washed over Francine. She became contemplative, and said, "You two aren't just incompatible. There are many obstacles that will keep on tormenting you. It's a good thing you broke up with her early.""Mom, are you aware of something too?" Stefan asked. He suddenly looked up to stare deeply at his mother. Stefan had discovered something, and learned that he could never be with Renee for the rest of his life. Hence, he suppressed his reluctance and pain. He would rather bear the blame for abandoning his family to break up with Renee, but he was uncertain if Francine was aware of the same discovery. "What am I supposed to know?" Francine laughed, sounding ambiguous. "I've seen and experienced a lot of things. Maybe it's a big issue for you, but I might find it insignificant.""It's about…" After a pause, Stefan continued, "It's about Renee's brother."Francine was stunned. She panicked as guilt gripped her, then quickly shook her head and said, "I don't kno
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2029
"I'm sure of that." Francine sighed. She admired Stefan, but she also felt sorry for him. "You didn't let me down. You could take whatever that came.""I need to, even if I can't." Stefan cracked a bitter smile. "I'm not as strong as you think. But after pondering over it, I realize that we'll be happier being separated. Why should I force her to be with me if we're happier apart?" "So, you could take whatever that came your way." Francine looked toward the second floor. "If you're willing to forget about your old love and look for a new one, it's a sign that you've let go of the past. I'm curious as to what kind of woman can charm you. I guess she should be quite straightforward, since she got so drunk and vomited on you.""She…" Stefan just wanted to avoid trouble, so he didn't explain much. "Yes, she's special. She can easily affect my mood.""Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's not easy. You two should rest well tonight. I'll cook early in the morning and welcome her nicely."Although Fran

"Mom, don't…" Stefan wanted to stop Francine, but the latter moved agilely and bypassed him. She quickly reached the bedroom on the second floor.Francine opened the door to the bedroom, and immediately smelled the unpleasant stench of alcohol. She quickly developed a very bad impression about the woman lying in bed, but she kept consoling herself inwardly. "It's okay. As long as my son likes her, I can even accept a beggar. It's fine even if she drinks. People who love to drink are healthy!"At the same time, Edith went upstairs with the cleaning tools. "Madam Hunt, please wait a moment. I'll clean it up for fear that it might be too smelly for you.""Okay, you're just in time. Hurry up and clean it up!" Francine quickly urged Edith to go into the room to clean it up. Meanwhilr, she stood aside and watched the woman lying in bed."Tsk, would a decent woman drink so much? And she vomited all over the bed… It's baffling that Master Hunt didn't get mad," Edith complained while we

The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2421
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
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2418
"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
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2416
"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
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2415
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

After a long while, Quinton turned around. He looked at Renee, who was across from him, and heaved a long sigh."We're about to go home soon. Why do you look this gloomy? What's wrong…? Are you reluctant to part with this place?" Quinton said. "No, I'm not." Renee poured herself a glass of orange juice and sipped it. She frowned and dwelled on it before she said, "I feel empty inside. I don't know if I made the right choice.""Empty?" Quinton asked curiously."I think I've said goodbye to a steady life since I decided to leave. Maybe I'll keep on wandering from now on," Renee said melancholically. The reason why she chose to give it a try with Justin because she was tired. She was exhausted from leading a wandering life and wanted to settle down with someone. Others could not give her the sense of security like Justin. When she saw him, she inexplicably wanted a home. At that time, she thought she could forget about everything and start a new life with him. Unexpectedly, she

Adie was still a child, but he acted like a smart person and could see through a lot of things. He could guess why Austin took them to the Baldwin residence. He had also heard the servants of the Baldwin family rebuking Renee in secret. After combining various situations, he learned about what had happened between Renee and Justin. Despite everything, Justin could forgive Renee under such circumstances. He also treated Adie and Abby nicely. It proved that he was a very compassionate man. A small regret gripped Adie. He wondered why Renee didn't date Justin right from the start. If Renee were with such a kind man, she might be very happy. She wouldn't have to suffer through so many hardships either. "No, you don't know me. I always sweat the small stuff."Justin was displeased since Adie had claimed that he was a good guy, like Renee had. He heaved a long sigh and said, "But it's useless even if I sweat the small stuff, so I stop trying. It all comes down to fate. We can't forc
