The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1883
"Adie... Well, he..." Chase hesitated, but when he saw Quinton's menacing expression, he hurriedly said, "Adie said that he was happy on the island and didn't want to come home. He even asked us not to disturb him.""What?" Quinton, Leia, and the others were stunned. "Adie was kidnapped—he's not there on vacation! How could he possibly be having fun? Was there some sort of misunderstanding?" Leia asked in disbelief."I'm sure Adie didn't send that!" Quinton glared at Chase. "You're useless. You couldn't handle such a small thing, and you're now trying to lie to us? Get lost!""No, Boss… Adie did say that!" Chase quickly took his phone out and pointed at a text with a picture sent by Adie. "See? That's Adie, right? He even took a selfie, and he looks… happy."Everyone gathered around Chase to read the message. There was a picture of Adie attached to it, and in it, he was sitting on the beach and staring out at the ocean. He looked rather relaxed for someone who had supposedly been

Renee's calmness surprised the others."How do you know that Adie was the one who sent the message?" Quinton read the message over and over again and couldn't see anything unusual. He frowned in concern. "But we can't just let him be. Leave this to me—I'll bring Adie home safely." Quinton knew that Renee wouldn't recover well as long as she was worried about Adie… but Renee seemed strangely unbothered about the situation."Adie always adds exclusive codes to his messages, and if you decipher them, you'll find out his true thoughts…" Renee inhaled deeply and explained, "You won't be able to bring him back unless he wants to come back. You'll just be troubling yourselves, so I suggest waiting for him. Once he sees things through, he'll come home." In the past, Adie had gone to Beach City and even snuck into Hunt Enterprise on his own. If he could survive that, he could survive being kidnapped by an ordinary woman. Given Adie's capabilities, Renee was more worried about Tiffany's mother
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1885
Adie recalled how Madelyn acted like a wicked witch in the cave at first, but now, she was gentle and compassionate. It was like seeing two different people, and he had no idea what had happened in between. Maybe he had charmed Tiffany's mother, or maybe she had suddenly realized her mistake. All he knew was that Madelyn tied him and Tiffany up before moving them to that deserted island, and gave them food and water from time to time. At night, she would chat with them and sing nursery rhymes for them to put them to sleep. It was baffling. Tiffany seemed happy, but sometimes she cried and clung to Madelyn. Adie was very curious but kept himself from asking about it. Once Madelyn trusted him more, he would bring it up."It's because..." Madelyn stopped flicking the firewood as her gaze grew fierce. "I think of my dead child every time I look at you kids. It's so unfair... Why are you kids so loved by everyone while my child didn't even get to be born? I want you kids to die with my chi

"Madam, snap out of it!" Adie helplessly pointed at his face. "Look at me—I'm not your son. I'm Renee and Stefan's son, and I have nothing to do with you. Stop trying to steal me away!""You..." Madelyn covered her face as she burst into tears. "Why? Why is God punishing me like this? I just want a child who belongs to me… Is that too much to ask?""It isn't!" Adie shrugged and said bluntly, "Since Tiffany's father stopped you from having kids, you should divorce him and have kids with another man." "Don't you think I've thought of that?" Madelyn looked up, her face wet with tears. "After that incident, I became infertile… I can never be a mother for the rest of my life, which is why I hate her father and her. I hate everyone who stops me from being a mother!" Madelyn sobbed miserably. After graduating from college, she had married Damon, who had been married before. Besides, Damon had Tiffany too. Back then, Madelyn regarded Tiffany as her own daughter and gave Tiffany endless car

Tiffany watched Madelyn with teary eyes, then said carefully, "Mommy, I love you. I've always loved you. I've never been mad at you… and I've wronged my brother. Can you forgive me?" She was just a child, but she understood Madelyn's mood swings and feelings toward her. She did not blame Madelyn, and instead, held on by recalling how nicely Madelyn had treated her before. If Madelyn called her, Tiffany would rush over without hesitation regardless of how much Madelyn had hurt her. "No, I should be the one apologizing…" Madelyn admitted finally. "I wasn't good enough. I made you feel insecure, so you were anxious about the arrival of your brother. I wasn't good enough, so your daddy had no confidence that I would treat you well.""It's okay." Madelyn's words moved Tiffany to tears, and the little girl threw herself into Madelyn's arms. "I'll always be your daughter as long as you want me to. I see you as my biological mother!""Thank you for forgiving me. I hope this realization of

Adie was brave when he lived on Sun Island back then, but the one thing he feared was the yearly hurricane season. During that time, there would be heavy rain and strong winds, and trees and houses on the island would be uprooted. It was the scariest time of the year, which was why Adie had learned the signs of an impending hurricane."Hurricane?" Madelyn was stunned. "The weather forecast didn't mention any hurricanes.""Weather forecasts can't be trusted. Stop wasting time—we have to go now!" Adie shouted anxiously, the strong winds nearly knocking him to his feet."Go?" Madelyn looked around, dazed. "Where can we go? We can't sail the yacht in such weather, we'll end up in the sea." She suddenly regretted kidnapping the children and bringing them to such a dangerous place."Let's try to find a cave to shelter from the wind," Adie suggested calmly."That will do!" Madelyn was clueless about all this, so she just regarded Adie as the leader of their group.The three of them stag

The wind calmed a little half an hour later, but the downpour kept worsening. Stefan quickly docked the yacht, then got onto the island in the pouring rain. "Mr. Hunt, slow down... Wait!" The captain ran after Stefan with an umbrella, trying to shield him from the heavy rain. "This island is remote and undeveloped, and people don't dare to come here. We have to be careful in case we run into undercurrents or hidden caves." "I don't care about any of that!" Stefan snapped, "Get more manpower. I have to find my son!" Even a second of delay in this weather would be risky for Adie, and Stefan couldn't afford that. "But there's no signal here. We can't get in touch with the others!" The captain held the walkie-talkie up in the air, but there was no response or signal. It was impossible to get more manpower, and it was also dangerous because they couldn't contact a rescue team if needed."Keep trying, or go get the yacht and sail back to get some men. I'll look around on the island."

Madelyn and Stefan looked at each other in shock."Daddy, what are you doing here?" Adie asked in delight, then hurriedly added, "Where's Mommy? Did she come with you?""She..." After a pause, Stefan decided not to tell Adie the truth. "Something came up, so she might not be able to make it… It's okay though, it's the same as me picking you up." When he left, Renee was on the verge of death, and he didn't know what her current condition was. Since Adie was missing, he forced himself to suppress his worry for her, and left the hospital without looking back. He put all his heart into searching for Adie because he knew Renee would panic if she didn't see Adie when she woke up. He knew that Adie and Renee cared very much about each other, so he didn't want to worry Adie by telling him about Renee. "Hmph, it must have been important for her to ignore me like this…" Adie was jealous because Renee had chosen Stefan over him earlier, and the pain in his heart grew when he heard Stefan's wo

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

Renee turned and found Jovan unscathed. Relief washed over her. She said grumpily, "It's none of your business!""Tsk! How cruel!" Jovan clutched his chest and pretended to be in deep pain. At the same time, he teased, "I know. Your soulmate is better. I'm so jealous of him, though he's still a fallback guy.""Go to hell, Jovan!" Jovan's nasty words drove Renee mad. She grabbed a piece of napkin, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at his face. "If I knew you'd talk so badly, I wouldn't be bothered to save you. Maybe you'll get reborn in Ulria. Then, you have to watch your tongue!""Hey! Yeah, I was wrong. You don't have to curse me like that!" Jovan raised his hands to surrender, but felt quite moved. He poured himself a glass of milk and devotedly toasted to her. "Thank you for caring about me and trying your best to save me. I'll toast to you. And you can do whatever you want.""You're so childish." Renee rolled her eyes and was amused.Justin was quite jealous to see them
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2411
"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

"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

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
