Semua Bab The Untouchable Ex-Wife: Bab 1991 - Bab 2000

Renee couldn't understand it. "If it's not because of my crazy brother, what's your reason?" It seemed that the only thing in the whole manor that made Joanne uneasy was Quinton."I need to go back to my school to handle my affairs." A long sigh escaped Joanne. "Mr. Hunt got me that job, so I'm very thankful to him. It's like he's given me another chance, but I've let him down. After today's mess, I'm sure the parents will find fault with the principal, and I'm afraid it'll affect Mr. Hunt… that's why I want to go back to the school to settle it." Joanne felt like the only person in her life that truly cared for her was Stefan. He had rescued her so many times, but she hadn't repaid him for it. She didn't want to burden him either, so she wanted to resolve this issue even if she had to die."Oh, that's it…" Renee sighed in relief. "Don't worry. Just rest here; I'll help you settle it. Plus, don't feel like you owe Stefan something. You helped him back then, so he should help you sett

The atmosphere immediately became tense."Okay, both of you stop talking." Renee became helpless and exhausted. She had finally persuaded Joanne to stop being stubborn, but once Quinton appeared… Well, everything returned to how it used to be."Get out!" Joanne picked up a pillow and flung it at Quinton fiercely, then jumped out of bed and hurried to the window. "If he doesn't leave, I'll jump!""Hey, stop! Let's talk things out!" Renee had to stop Quinton from approaching and prevent Joanne from doing anything stupid, and she couldn't do both at the same time. "Don't worry, I'll get him out of here. I promise I'll stop him from entering this place, and if he does, I won't stop you if you want to leave," Renee said to Joanne, then quickly walked to Quinton and grabbed his arm. "Go out. You're not welcome here.""I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I go?" Quinton demanded aggressively, not intending to leave. He sneered at Joanne, "It's been so many years. Is that all you got? Th

"What background?" Renee dragged Quinton to the side and whispered, "How could you say that? Wasn't that child… yours?" As a woman and mother, she could empathize with Joanne. The man Joanne regarded as family and admired as a brother imprisoned her and took advantage of her. In the end, he even cruelly aborted their child… It would be devastating for any woman."Hmph! Did she tell you that?" Quinton's gaze darkened with anger as he tried to suppress his emotions."Stefan said that, so I guess Joanne must have told him about it," Renee answered honestly. She knew that was the main reason behind Quinton and Joanne's resentment towards each other, but she couldn't bring it up in front of Quinton because it was a sensitive topic. If she spoke about it, she might end up cursing him or beating him up, which would affect their relationship as siblings. There were all kinds of scumbags, but Quinton was the worst."That useless piece of trash!" Quinton clenched his fists, his hatred for Ste

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

"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
