The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1853
"Umm..." Renee was speechless after hearing Adie's explanation. Her anger immediately subsided and she felt guilty and sorry for Adie. She hadn't expected to see Adie face such cruelty at such a young age. She couldn't imagine how Adie must have felt when he heard those words. She thought about how she had violently hit, scolded, and criticized Adie, and felt like dying. "I'm... I'm sorry. I didn't know you had been bullied like this. I sincerely apologize!" Renee took a deep breath, her head hung in shame as she spoke. She didn't expect him to forgive her right now since even adults would hold a grudge when wrongly accused, let alone a child.Although Adie was still tearful and his palm was red and swollen, he was not angry at Renee. He held Renee's hand and said tenderly, "Mommy, you don't have to say sorry to me; I should be saying sorry to you. I wasn't strong enough. When others mocked me, I couldn't suppress my anger. I should have ignored their words and calmed down, but I coul
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1854
The more she thought about it, the more Renee realized that she had to accept reality—in the eyes of society, a divorced family could never be a good thing. There would always be prejudice and discrimination towards the children. Luckily, Adie was a strong child, and could stand his ground when others bullied him. If it were a gentle child like Abby, facing that kind of hostility would create lifelong trauma. After much thought, Renee felt the children had to have a father, even if he were just there in name.Stefan held Adie with one hand and Abby with the other, and they soon arrived at the cave. Renee took a deep breath as she watched them, and decided to talk it out with Stefan for the sake of the two children. Besides, many pupils and parents were standing outside the cave, too timid to go in.The cave came with a karst landscape with long and narrow spaces full of stalactites in various strange shapes. It was a good place for adventure and looking for treasure."Mommy, come he
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1855
Stefan and Renee walked into the cave silently. The atmosphere was tense and almost suffocating, like there was something threatening to surface. Maybe the oxygen level in the cave was low, or maybe it was the tension between them.Renee held the torchlight and shone it ahead of her. However, she wasn't really checking the cave out or searching for treasures—she was trying to figure out how to talk to Stefan about the children. "You..." Renee started, but gasped as she accidentally stepped into a dark pit. However, before she could fall, Stefan grabbed her and held her, and they both tumbled to the ground together. Renee had fallen on Stefan, and immediately panicked when she realized it. "Are you alright? Did you hurt your head? Can you move?" At first, Stefan was fine, but when Renee pressed down on his body, he winced in discomfort. "Maybe I'd feel better if you weren't crushing me.""Oh, I'm sorry!" Renee immediately tried to stand up, feeling embarrassed when she realized she

Stefan did not answer Renee's question immediately, and the silence in the cave made everything more awkward.Renee wasn't used to being so close to him. She could feel his breathing and the warmth of his body, but it felt like their hearts were far apart. She didn't know what he was thinking. Humiliated and disappointed, she tried to stand up, keeping her distance from Stefan. "Is it that difficult to answer?" Renee huffed angrily. She could accept Stefan's fickleness and insincerity, but she couldn't accept his silence and avoidance when it came to their children."What do you want me to do?" After a long silence, Stefan quietly stood up, upset that their romantic moment was cut short. However, he didn't regret his decision to stay away from her—he knew she would suffer less in the future. "What do you mean? You're their father, but you never thought of how you'd take care of them in the future?" Stefan's casualness infuriated Renee, and she had to stop herself from slapping him.
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1857
"You want to find another father for them?" Stefan laughed when he heard that, feeling angry and helpless. "If you think that's the better option, just go ahead then!" Then, he walked ahead to look for the treasure."You..." An unspeakable sadness gripped Renee as she watched Stefan walk away. She hadn't meant it—she just wanted to see his reaction. He had always been a very possessive man, and logically, he should have gotten furious at the suggestion of his former partner and children forming a family with another man. However, he didn't stop her, and even seemed to support her plan. At that moment, Renee realized that Stefan might have really given her and the two children up. She naively thought that he would turn around and fight for his family, but it looked like they could not make peace with each other anymore.Stefan walked ahead absent-mindedly, adjusting his headlamp. He saw an undercurrent in the cave ahead of him, and there seemed to be something shiny beside it. "I thin

Sunset gradually came, dying the sea and clouds orange. The scenery was beautiful as they returned to the campsite at the foot of the hill. After their discussion, Renee no longer had any expectations of Stefan. She merely regarded him as a stranger and ignored him. Holding the treasure chest, the children followed them cautiously, tired of the ups and downs of their parents' emotions. "Daddy, what did you do in the cave? Mommy looked so weird after she left the cave. She looks... scary!" Adie didn't dare provoke Renee after she had scolded him, so he went to pester Stefan instead."We didn't say much." Stefan put both hands in his pockets and watched Renee, who was keeping some distance from them. He sighed, then whispered, "Your mommy wants to find a new daddy for you and your sister." "What?" Adie's eyes grew wide in disbelief. "Is Mommy out of her mind? We have a daddy, so why does she want to find us a new one? If that happens, who will you be to us, Daddy?" "I don't know!"
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1859
"Tiffany is..." Abby blinked innocently. She was about to introduce Adie's most beloved girl to Stefan when Adie immediately covered her mouth."Abby, watch your tongue. It's a secret, so keep it between us!" Adie ordered Abby."But it's Daddy… I think it's a nice thing that you like Tiffany, so shouldn't we share our happy events with our parents?" Abby felt that telling Stefan about Tiffany wasn't a bad thing, and couldn't understand Adie's exaggerated reaction. "He's no longer our loved one." Adie pouted and glared at Stefan furiously. "He said terrible things to Mommy in the cave just now and broke Mommy's heart... Abby, do you still remember the promise we made?" "Yes!" Abby nodded, then said solemnly, "If Daddy makes Mommy mad, we'll support Mommy no matter how close Daddy is to us." They had made such a rule because they felt that Stefan and Renee's relationship was never certain, and they never knew whose side to take. Sometimes Abby would take Stefan's side while Adie to
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1860
"Miss, let us think about it for a while!" Adie said to the teacher, then leaned close to Abby's ear and started whispering to her.Both Renee and Stefan stood nearby awkwardly, unable to do anything during their children's serious discussion. Thanks to their status and identities, the parents around them immediately started gossiping about them. "Wow, they're the legendary Master Hunt and Ms. Everheart. What a perfect couple!""Their marriage is practically a gift from heaven. They even have a pair of twins! What a perfect life..." "How lucky that our child can study with the children of such a prestigious family!""I knew that the parents of the children studying in Monte Perry Kindergarten were extraordinary, but I didn't expect this at all!"Renee's awkwardness grew as she listened to the excited whispers around her. She stared at the ground, wishing it would open up and swallow her. She had been through a lot, but this was a first for her. In the past, she could have made

"What's that?" Justin frowned and said with disdain, "That's something to fool naive women like you. Only lovestruck fools will believe that." As a materialistic person, he never believed in things like horoscopes and fortune-telling. At most, they were mixed with some psychology. They weren't trustworthy at all.If Renee wanted to use those things to talk about their relationships and destinies, it would seem very childish. "Don't be so extreme. Those things are real and logical." Renee acted like an experienced salesperson and gradually eliminated Justin's prejudice. She said patiently, "If you believe those things, they can guide you and help you to see things through. If not, you can use them to kill time. Just try to get to know them. Isn't that nice?"Finally, Justin was convinced. He had some milk and asked her leisurely, "Fine. Tell me what kind of relationship we have based on those things." "I learned that our relationship is a declining friendship based on our birt
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2410
"I…" Renee paused. For a moment, she had no idea how to answer that question."Don't put yourself in a difficult position. Just follow your heart," Justin said calmly. "If you want to stay, my family will still welcome you readily. If you want to leave, I'll come up with a way to help you leave smoothly."After listening to Justin, Renee answered honestly, "Maybe it's better for me to leave, though I know this choice will hurt you."She could choose to stay to protect Justin's dignity and give Austin a good explanation. It would be more relaxing and steadier for her. However, Renee knew that it could only last briefly. She would cause Justin greater harm. She might as well be decisive and stop the damage in time. "Don't say that." Justin cracked a bitter smile and said with relief, "I've stopped taking things too seriously. If you like me, you won't stop loving me even if we're apart. Similarly, you'll think about another man if you don't like me, even though you're always b

Austin was having breakfast in the dining room. When he saw Justin and Renee walk over intimately, he finally believed that they had slept together. They seemed like a real couple."Good morning, Grandpa Baldwin!" Renee obediently greeted Austin just like before. She acted normally."Good morning." Austin nodded, unable to suppress his smile. After sizing them up, he calmly said to Renee, "We know how apologetic you are after you toasted to us last night. We'll forget about the past. You're still a part of my family." "Grandpa!" Justin interrupted Austin; he was very protective of Renee. "She's a woman, and we're not married yet. Please don't say that. A woman's reputation is the most important thing.""You…" Austin wanted to refute Justin, but their conflict was just resolved so it would be bad to pressure them more. He shook his head and said, "Fine. You two always have a bland romance. Finally, you've made some progress. I'll let you two decide what to do next.""Got it, Gr

"Hey, Haze! What are you doing? Get off of me!" Renee struggled in confusion."Hush!" Justin gestured and stopped her.In a while, someone unlocked the door of the room."Mr. Baldwin, let me help you and Ms. Everheart change your clothes." A kind middle-aged woman walked into the room casually. When she found them sleeping together intimately, relief washed over her. "Oh, you guys are still sleeping… Fine, I'll leave you be." Then, the woman exited the room.After that, Justin stopped hovering above Renee, looking awkward. "I'm sorry. It happened all of a sudden. If I hadn't done that, they wouldn't let us go. I just did a small thing to resolve the issue." Justin was fully aware of Austin's thoughts. Although Austin was still angry at Renee, he was satisfied with her and wanted to see her get into a real intimate relationship with Justin. If that did not happen, Austin might tie them up together since the drug had failed. Justin could only act with Renee to avoid the in

Renee grinned, satisfied after a long rest. "Why didn't you sleep a bit longer? This bed is comfortable and fluffy." While talking, she behaved like a fish as she extended her limbs and rolled around in bed childishly. In comparison to her calmness and ease, Justin behaved gingerly and did not dare to move as he lay in bed."Do you have any idea what had happened? We aren't dreaming. We're lying in the same bed," Justin said.He was certain that Renee was not fully awake. It explained why she was that composed. Otherwise, any normal woman would get out of bed with a start and keep screaming if they found herself lying in a man's bed."I know!" Renee said. After having a great time rolling around, Renee faced Justin with her head on her arm while lying on her side. "I wanted to drink wine to say sorry to you guys last night, but your family drugged the wine. You drank the same wine when you tried to stop me. We were controlled by the drug and were locked up in this room. T
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2406
Renee instantly understood what Justin meant by that. It turned out that the incident was just a part of the Baldwin family's plan. If she left, the Baldwin family would not easily let her off the hook.Justin still cared about her at a time like that, which moved her. "Thank you. You're great." Renee cried; she had no idea how to repay him. "You don't have to thank me. I'm not so great, either. I just hate that they always pester me." Justin purposely sounded relaxed. He finally calmed himself down as he casually grabbed some bandages to bandage his wound. Then, he lay in bed.He slept on one side of the bed and said to Renee, "It's late. You should rest early. This bed is large enough. If you don't mind, you can lie in bed too."The bed was large. It was more than enough even if Renee and Justin lay there."I…" Renee hesitated briefly before she finally got in bed. She trusted Justin. If he wanted to do something indecent to her, he would have long done that. He would no

"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
