Divorced, Dazzling, and Desired のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 751 - チャプター 760

Alison smiled. "It's alright if you don't remember, Renee. We can still be friends… We were friends ten years ago, and we will be friends once again, now, ten years later."Still, her heart ached to see Renee so silent. "You don't talk much now? Was life harsh on you?""No, I'm fine." Renee smiled at Alison, taking a sip of her tea. "But you're right—we can be friends again even if I can't remember the past."Pausing, she then added, "And I can see that you're candid and talkative. I can get behind that."Alison giggled delightedly like a child praised by her teacher and snatched away Renee's cup before hugging Renee excitedly. "Were you praising me? Oh, let me give you a hug. I really missed you so much!""Oh, you had no idea how much I've missed you. You were always in my dreams, and when I stopped dreaming of you after you went missing, I always complained that you were being such a stranger and not coming to visit me. But now I get it… You won't show up because you're alive. I

Jasper paused and frowned, surprised to recognize Adam's voice and that he had already shown up.But it was not that surprising—if he took Renee back to Harborview City, there weren't that many places that they would go."Who's that?" Renee asked in curiosity, watching Jasper.Alison rolled her eyes and pursed her lips. "Just some jerk. Sit tight, I'll go kill him."As she spoke, she already picked up a dusty golf club from a corner, ready to break a leg—literally.That was when Renee suddenly called out, "Wait… I'd like to see him."Alison was taken aback and turned toward Jasper.He was scowling and looked a little worried, but he eventually handed Luke the food ingredients. "Take that to the kitchen.""Yes, sir." Luke quickly took the bags of food into the kitchen."Just sit. I'll let him in," Jasper said as he strode out of the living room and closed the door, blocking out Adam's hollering.As he slowly advanced on Adam, there was coldness on his visage as he demanded, "D

Pausing, Adam continued, "Also, you're clearly not confident if you're stopping me from seeing her. If you trust your own charm, why worry that I showed up? Aren't you just worried that Renee and I will rekindle our romance?"He clearly wasn't thinking while trying to push Jasper's buttons endlessly.Swish.There was a brush of air as Jasper's cleaver was suddenly just half an inch away from Adam's neck. Still, Jasper eventually withdrew his hand, while Adam was clenching his teeth in fear. Holding his knuckles by his side as he massaged his neck, he said, "Come on, I'm just joking… Please don't take me seriously."As he reached out to gently push the cleaver away from himself, the tempered edge glinted against the sun's shine, leaving Adam gulping in fear."Yeah, but I'm not kidding," Jasper growled.Adam sighed in relief. "I know. I did Renee dirty and have come to see how terrible a mistake I've made, but I won't try to seize this opportunity to get her back. I'm satisfie

Taking a bite, Renee chewed slowly, letting the sweetness of the grilled meat melt in her mouth.It was lean and not greasy, making it especially delicious."This is great. You have a flair for cooking, Mr. Zeller," she said, generous with her praise.Jasper quickly picked up the serving spoon and fork to put steamed perch and shrimp on her plate. "You should try everything."They were all plain food ingredients and had the homeliness that Renee liked.Adam was going to put food on Renee's plate too, but he held back upon seeing Jasper already doing it.He was satisfied seeing Renee again, and he wouldn't want to get between them.Jasper was right that he had his chance and didn't cherish it.As such, he simply watched emotionally as Jasper doted on Renee, although he would pick whatever food Renee chose as well, just to have a taste of what she liked.Meanwhile, Renee quickly finished all the food Jasper and Alison put on her plate.And after a plateful of food and two bowls

Even as Alison ranted, she rolled up her sleeves and scanned the room.Then, running toward the rack in the corner, she pulled out a golf club and advanced on Adam menacingly.Seeing that, Renee stood up and quickly told Adam, "I think you should leave, Mr. Graham. Regardless of how things were between us before, it's all in the past now. We should all look ahead instead of behind."They were all adults enough to understand that it was an indirect rejection.There was wistfulness in his eyes as his shoulders slumped, his entire presence welling with dejection."Okay… Take care of yourself." He sighed, hanging his head unhappily as he started toward the door with somber steps.Alison was still holding the golf club tightly, grumbling in annoyance, "Jerk. Give him an inch and he asks for a mile!"Then, turning toward Renee, she huffed. "You'd better stay away from him too, baby! He's such a jinx!"Renee smiled wryly, unsure what to do with her, "Okay, okay. Just calm down—be a la
