The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1318
"I heard that Santiago is coming. Finally, I can see the mysterious top actor up close!" "Wow, I'm so lucky to be able to film a show with him. I have to perform well...""It's useless even if you perform well. Mr. Dalton is very aloof, so people can't even talk much with him. You'd better not waste your time."While they were talking, they saw Santiago and Adam get out of the pickup."Ah, he's indeed a top actor! He's so handsome even while getting out of a pickup. Why is there such a perfect man?" Myra, the newly promoted star, looked at Santiago dreamily, then enthusiastically went to him. "Mr. Dalton, welcome. You must be tired from your journey. Let me take your luggage for you."She tried to take Santiago's backpack but he frowned and said coldly, "I'm sorry, I don't like strangers touching my things.""Er..." Myra's face turned red in embarrassment. As expected, he was aloof... but not annoying. How flawless!Leia parked the pickup and leaped out of it. When she saw Sant

Leia looked up at Santiago in surprise, wondering how he could see through her. "How did you...""How did I know your thoughts?" Santiago smiled and said, "I'm an actor, and being observant is a skill we need."Leia lowered her head in embarrassment. "I'm sorry. You must think I'm an idiot.""Why would I?" Santiago said gently, "I think there's something very pure in you. It's hard for me to find that in the entertainment circle, so don't doubt yourself. You're much more outstanding than them!"Leia's gloominess instantly disappeared, and she felt happy again. "Mr. Dalton, let me show you around the house..."She behaved like a host and showed him around the house. "This is the kitchen where we cook. This is the cow's shed... Bessie is about to give birth, so the place is a bit stinky at the moment. This is where we have our activities. If you're bored, you can lay in this hammock and read. I love this area the best. Oh... The pond opposite us is nice too. I heard that there are a

Xavier put his hands in his pockets quietly, and watched the happy crowd from afar coldly. Even animals would be frightened by his menacing aura."They look so happy, especially Miss Osborne and Santiago. They get along so well that people may mistake them for a couple. Santiago looks very friendly too and isn't as aloof as they say he is. Miss Osborne is indeed very attractive and charming." Shirley looked at them and smiled, purposely making matters worse."She's indeed very attractive." Xavier finally broke his silence and spoke. He turned to look at Shirley. "If she wasn't, you wouldn't be so concerned about her."Shirley's expression changed, and she said awkwardly, "What... What do you mean?" "Aren't I right? You always talk about how she's a perfect match for others, and you watch her closely. Doesn't that mean that you care about her? Are you attracted to her?""Xavier, are you kidding me? Are you angry because I'm talking about her?" Shirley sneered. "I'm telling the tru

Someone carried Leia out of the pond and into the house. She heard the door creak, and then she was gently lowered down."Eh, Mr. Dalton, where did you take me to? Did you take me to a room? Well, I feel quite shy since we're alone in a room. Haha!" She closed her eyes and stood there obediently. Although she claimed that she was shy, she could not suppress her smile.'Oh, my goodness! This is the idol I've admired for so many years. I'd be more than happy to be in the same room with him even if we do nothing.'But he was indeed aloof. He carried her and said nothing, and she could even feel his cold aura. After a while, she heard footsteps again. He stood before her and used a wet towel to gently wipe her eyes and cheeks, attentive and gentle.Leia blushed and said shyly, "I'm not worthy to have you wipe my face for me like this… If your fans learn about this, they'll beat me up!""Hmph, you seem fine now, but why can't you walk when it comes to him?" A voice said condescendingly

Xavier was used to being a kiss-ass, so he was blind to the fact.Leia walked out of the room. The other celebrities had caught a lot of mudfish and returned to the house already.Santiago was the last to come ashore. When Leia was not around, he kept to himself and spoke to no one. He showed everyone a sullen face and maintained his image as the aloof top actor. "Mr. Dalton, what did you get? Let me help you!" Leia ran to the shore enthusiastically and extended her hand to Santiago.Santiago's gaze softened, and he smiled warmly. "Are your eyes okay?""Well, yeah. I just got a bit of mud in my eyes.""I'm sorry about what happened just now. At first, I wanted to..." He trailed off, feeling defeated. He had wanted to help her wipe her eyes but Xavier beat him to it and carried her off.Xavier had obviously been trying to challenge Santiago, and the other celebrities had watched curiously.He wanted to fight Xavier at that moment, but held himself back after much consideration.

Xavier's fierce demeanor made the enthusiastic onlookers hold their breaths."Uhm... Is he going to get the firewood ready? He looks like he's going to set someone on fire instead!" Leia scowled angrily. "Getting firewood ready? You live like a prince. Do you even know what firewood looks like? You want to help, but you shouldn't waste others' time!"At first, Leia planned to get the fire ready for Santiago while he prepared the fish, so they could cook together later and deepen their relationship. But before she could say that, Xavier came out of nowhere and ruined all her plans. She could not figure out why he liked to meddle in her affairs. He had meddled earlier when she wanted to ride in the pickup with Santiago, and did the same when she wanted to catch mudfish and cook with Santiago. He was the big shot of a large entertainment company; did he have nothing better to do?"It's none of your business. After all, we have a shameless person here with us, don't we?" Xavier put

Leia was no fool. She knew that Shirley was plotting something since she insisted on talking alone with her. However, it concerned Quinton's life, so even though she knew that it was a trap, she had to soldier through it. "Fine. Come to my room. Let's talk alone," Leia muttered and went to the room where she stayed with Xavier temporarily.After Shirley's assistant helped her into the room, she left and closed the door for them.Shirley looked around. There were holes in the ground, the roof was leaking, and the bed was extremely old. Shirley's expression turned gloomy, and there was a hint of envy and disbelief in her gaze. "Don't tell me you stayed in this room with Xavier for a night?""Yeah, this place is pretty good. The bed is soft, and the air is fresh. What's so hard to understand?" Leia could not understand why Shirley asked her that. Leia and Xavier had only slept in this bed for a night, but he had stayed with Shirley for the rest of his time. Why would Shirley feel jea
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1325
"I didn't say that. Anyway… I'll leave you to your thoughts." Shirley smiled and said vaguely, "That's all I can say. If you want to know the truth, you'd better find the culprit."Leia was speechless. She clenched her fists and stopped asking any more questions. The answer was obvious. "Also, you'd better stay away from Xavier. He's Stefan's best buddy. He'll always take his buddy's side. If not, Stefan wouldn't know about Quinton having surgery so soon and even happen to have the doctor's contact." When Shirley noticed that Leia had fallen for her trick, she continued making matters worse.However, the truth was that the accident had nothing to do with Stefan. It was related to Stefan's significant other, so she felt that it was related to Stefan too. Shirley felt that she hadn't lied by saying that. "I knew that scumbag Stefan was a cruel villain!" Leia felt that Stefan was the mastermind behind it because of Shirley's words, and figured that Xavier must have helped Stefan.

"I don't know how to tell you. I'm sure you can understand." Renee could not bring herself to say more because it was a humiliating privacy. She might as well keep it to herself."Let me guess…" Justin's gaze grew sharp as he went straight to the point. "The man in your story is Stefan, isn't it?" Silence washed over Renee as she kept her head bowed. It was a silent approval.Justin burst into reckless laughter, which was scary. He looked down at his cut wound and laughed pathetically. "This is why he could make you fall in love with him, and I couldn't. I'm too cultured compared to him.""Don't say that, Haze!"Seeing how defeated Justin was, Renee became uneasy. "It isn't written in the stars for us. Plus, I've fallen in love with Stefan a long time ago before I even got to know you. I also rely on him physically and psychologically. I can't control my feelings. It's not something we can change. We…" "Stop!" Heartbroken, Justin pushed away everything in front of him and s

Time passed by. Gradually, the pain knocked some sense into Justin. He no longer wanted to take advantage of Renee."Let me get you some water." Renee had no idea what she could do for Justin. After some contemplation, she got to her feet and poured him a glass of water.Finally, she studied the room closely and found that it was a wedding room as Justin had mentioned. Everything was set up according to her preferences, which she had occasionally mentioned to Justin. For example, she loved keeping some ceramic ornaments on the bedside cabinet and hanging some seashell wind chimes at the windows. The entire room was painted in beige and green, which were her favorites, too. Beige gave a sense of warmth, while green gave a sense of gloominess. All of those details became the perfect wedding room for Renee.If everything went on smoothly, she would spend most of her time there, and he would be her life companion. Unfortunately, there were no ifs in the world.Renee handed the gla

Renee covered her lips, her tone filled with disbelief. "I…cut myself." Justin leaned against the corner and frowned deeply. He was in deep pain."Why did you cut yourself?" Renee was scared out of her wits and grew more sober. In her panic, she threw herself at him and tried to stop his bleeding.Justin reacted aggressively as he waved his dagger and warned fiercely, "Get away from me! Don't touch me!" "I…" Renee paused, too afraid to act recklessly. She pointed at his wound and said, "I'm just worried about you. You're bleeding. It must hurt a lot. Why did you hurt yourself?" "It's better to be in pain!" Justin gnashed his teeth and said in agony, "The pain will knock some sense into me, so I won't act like an animal and lose control of myself.""I see…" Stunned, Renee was moved to tears. She understood why he cut himself. Surprisingly, he wanted to stay sober and not be controlled by the drug in the wine.He could have used her to satisfy his desire, and she would never b

"You're playing with fire!" Justin leaned close to Renee's ears and said fiercely, "What do you think there is in the wine? Maybe I'm not someone who will take liberty on women, but I can't promise that the wine won't make me so." "So, you're saying that the wine…" Suddenly, Renee realized the wine was not as simple as she thought. She also understood why Rose had behaved in such a mysterious manner. "Stay…away from me!" Suddenly, she became frightened and wanted to keep some distance from Justin. She knew that people could not be trusted completely, especially under the effects of chemical reactions. Things would certainly get out of control. Justin probably did not want to do anything to her, but both of them would lose their minds under the effect of the wine and do something that would fill them with regret. The only way to prevent such an incident was to avoid each other."You want to stay away from me, but it's too late now. I'm no saint. I'm just a normal guy!"Just

"I'm so thirsty!" The burning sensation of the wine made Renee thirsty. She wanted to drink some water.In the dark, she heard some rustling. The next second, something was on her lips. It seemed to be someone else's lips. She wondered if someone had secretly kissed her."Who are you?" Renee grabbed the person in front of her and interrogated angrily, "How dare you kiss me without my permission! Do you know who I am? I'll cut off your lips!""Let's see if you can do that or not." The man sounded dull and drunk, but he was also overbearing.Although Renee was drunk, she could discern who it was. She called out in the dark and tried to confirm her doubt. "Haze…?" "Yeah, it's me," Justin admitted, but he did not plan to let her go. He used a more overbearing manner and trapped her between him and the door."What do you want?" Renee panicked. She wanted to kick him away, but she did not resist when she learned that it was Justin. After she had done so many things to hurt him, s

The servant walked forward with trepidation and helped Justin back to his room. Austin's eyes were dark. He whispered to his assistant, who nodded and immediately carried out his order.After two glasses of strong wine, Renee felt dizzy and could not stand steadily. "It's weird. Is this wine this strong? I just had two glasses of it, but I feel quite dizzy." It was hard for her to exit the hall. She could not stand properly, so she supported herself against the wall."Ms. Everheart, you didn't seem well. Let me help you to get some rest." Austin's assistant caught up to her and stood behind her. He even sounded respectful. "It's… fine. I can go back to my room." Renee waved; she didn't want to trouble others. Besides, she did not want others to see how miserable she was. She had assumed that she was good at drinking and would not get drunk, but it seemed like she had overestimated herself. After two glasses of wine, she became quite drowsy. She would not easily leave if s

Renee blinked and smiled brightly at Justin, asking him, "Are you worried about me?" "No, I'm not worried about you!" Justin said angrily. "I don't want you to get killed here. I can't explain it to your brother and kids. It's hard to handle the three of them."He was not lying. Although he had befriended Quinton, Adie and Abby might make a scene there if they realized that Renee had drunk so much wine at the party. They were witty, always full of ideas.Hence, it was better not to cause trouble. Before they could make a scene and things get out of control, Justin must stop Renee. He wasn't worried about her at all. "So, you're not worried about me?" Renee's gaze turned dull as she sighed. "It looks like you didn't forgive me. So, I must drink this glass of wine." Something was wrong with Renee, or perhaps she just wanted to torture herself. It seemed like she insisted on drinking the wine. She swung off Justin's hand and gulped down the wine."You're out of your mind!" Justi

The aged white wine was strong. Ordinary people would find it hard to drink a glass of it. Yet, Renee had drunk two glasses of it consecutively. It was a little dangerous. Everyone at the dining table was initially watching the fun, but they showed Renee some pity after she drank two glasses of wine consecutively. After wiping her lips clean, Renee staggered and said to Justin, "Let me toast to you now. I've wronged you the most." Justin, sitting there, said with a poker face, "You don't have to say sorry to me. We don't hold each other any grudge. After all, we can't make others fall in love with us.""No, I must apologize to you. It's for my sake." After that, Renee used a bigger glass and filled it with wine."Whatever!" Justin frowned and ignored Renee. He had no idea what was wrong with her. He had yielded and let her off, but she stubbornly wanted to keep drinking the wine.He wondered if she had forgotten the fact that she had just recovered from a serious illness. She

Suddenly, Justin became mature and stopped making jokes. He talked steadily and was no longer emotional. It filled Austin with worry because it made him feel like Justin was an emotionless robot.In comparison, he liked Justin's previous self better. At that time, Justin was simple and sentimental. He was the grandson Austin doted on the most.Sophia grinned and commented, "Dad, you don't have to worry about Justin. Men will change. Previously, he was just a childish kid even though he was in his twenties. He didn't know how to see through people's pretense. But he's all grown up now. He knows what's right or wrong. That's a great thing!" As a mother, she naturally did not want her son to get hurt. Although she favored Renee and wanted the latter to be her daughter-in-law, she would give up since Renee had let her son down and harmed him. All she wanted was to see Renee get away from her son."Yes, you're right. People need to grow up. He has grown up a lot lately, but the price
