The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2389
"What is it, Mommy? You look so serious!" Adie touched his chin and looked at Renee seriously. He tried to make a guess. "I'm sure it's not something good because you don't look fine.""No, it's not something bad, but it might be a little change for you guys. I don't know if my idea is right or wrong." Renee frowned and hesitated. For a moment, she could not bring herself to tell them about it. "Just tell us, Mommy. Let's discuss it together. Then, we'll know if it's right or wrong." Abby blinked and sounded serious, too. Although Abby was not as smart as Adie, she was good at perceiving emotions. She could tell that Renee was unhappy. Moreover, she knew that the decision must be heartbreaking for Renee. It would be best if she and Adie could share the burden for Renee at that moment. "What a good girl you are, Abby!" Renee turned teary. She held Abby's chubby face and kissed the latter dotingly. "You're always my dear baby. And you, Adie…"Similarly, she rubbed Adie's ha

The two children quickly stopped and gave Renee a profound look.Adie touched his chin and analyzed seriously, "There's something wrong with you, Mommy." "Um, what's wrong with me?" Renee was amused. She found herself acting normal and wondered why they felt something was wrong with her."You were gone for a few days, but your attitude toward Daddy has changed when you're back. Be frank with us. Did you go on a secret date with him? Did you guys make peace?" Adie made several guesses and expressed all the possibilities that he could come up with, and interrogated Renee solemnly."No, you're wrong!" Renee swallowed. She felt guilty for no reason, though she had done nothing wrong. She was a disappointing mother to be interrogated by her two children. Their questions had filled her with shame. "Just be frank with us. Did you go on a date with him?" Adie frowned and acted like a mini version of Stefan. He was dominant and insisted on getting an answer."No, I didn't!" Renee

Renee looked down on herself most of the time. She found herself unable to stand by her rules. She claimed that she would let Stefan go and forget about him, and that wanted to start a new life. But when they met again, all her resolve crumbled. She would repeat her mistake when she met him again, though she had wished that time could help her forget about him. "Oh, Mommy. You're just a lovestruck fool. How frustrating!" Abby shook her head as if she could not do anything about Renee. "But Mommy, I understand why. After all, Stefan is handsome, cool, and charming. He's more attractive than Mr. Baldwin." Renee cleared her throat and burst into laughing. At first, she was quite sad, but Abby's mature words amused her."Well, you know quite a lot of things. Do you know if a man is attractive or not?" "Of course!" Abby's eyes brightened as she seriously explained, "If a man is attractive, you want to be with him even if you know that he's a bad guy. So, I can't blame you for bei

"No, he's not your family!" Quinton's sarcastic voice came from afar.Renee turned around and saw Quinton and Justin. It seemed they had heard her conversation with the two children. It was heartbreaking for Justin.Renee flexed her fingers and felt apologetic, but she didn't say anything."Why didn't you tell me you were here?" She sounded displeased and frustrated by their eavesdropping on her privacy. "You're chatting so happily. If I told you, I would have interrupted you." Quinton was tall and looked aloof. A faint horizontal scar remained on his perfect facial features, giving others the impression that he was cruel and crafty.Some injuries would be there forever. Although his face had recovered, the scar was still there. It was similar to the situation between Quinton and Stefan. The grudges they held for each other never disappeared, but they did not fight aggressively because Renee mediated their dispute. Since Renee had become distant from Stefan, Quinton no long

Quinton was fine even if Renee wasn't that happy. But she must lead a steady life and live beyond a hundred years old. "Quinton, I know I owed the Baldwin family a lot, even if you didn't tell me. I won't be back if not for the sake of their kindness."Renee did not hide or lie even if Justin was around. She merely wanted Justin to hold no hope in her. "How could you be this straightforward?" Quinton had purposely brought Justin along because he wanted to bring Justin and Renee together. He felt that they could still be together since things weren't that hopeless. But the disappointing Renee ruined all possibilities easily. Kindness didn't exist between a romantic couple."It's fine." Justin looked indifferent before he snorted. "I'm glad she made things clear. It's better than being ambiguous.""I'm sorry." Renee looked at Justin. Although she had made herself clear, her guilt did not diminish. She immediately expressed her guilt and helplessness since Justin did not igno

The party started officially at night. It was a small party, and only some close relatives of the Baldwin family attended.Austin took the main seat while his son and daughter-in-law sat in the secondary seats. Justin and the others sat accordingly.After dressing herself up, Renee attended the party in simple clothes. She looked like a young lady from a great family. Adie, Abby, and Quinton did not attend the party to avoid unnecessary disputes. Renee was the only one who attended the party. When she reached the hall, the people had already taken their seats. They sized her up maliciously and studied her as if they wanted to make her pay a heavy price."Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I got here late." Renee took a deep breath and naturally greeted everyone. She appeared composed, but she knew she was rather frightened. She never panicked when she faced such a scene alone in the past. She could easily handle it because Justin would always take her side no matter what happened.

If any Baldwin demanded an explanation from Renee, she would not resent them."Fine, I won't go easy on you since you said so." Rose laughed recklessly, looking malicious. Everyone knew Rose was fierce and malicious. But none of them said anything, including Justin. They behaved like onlookers and wanted to see how Rose would punish Renee. "Please go ahead." Renee nodded and sounded very calm. "Don't worry. Regardless, you were the only woman my dear grandnephew had loved and wanted to marry. So, I won't be harsh on you. If not, he won't forgive me." At that point, Rose purposely paused and wanted to see how Justin would react.However, Justin merely sat there indifferently and had no intention to get Renee out of the predicament. Hence, Rose became bolder. "Well, let's do this. You've wronged not only Justin but everyone in my family. Since you're here to apologize, you should toast to all of us. Then, we can forget about this."After that, Rose turned to Austin and asked

After a while, a servant quickly came back with a bottle of wine tied with a piece of red cloth. "Sir, Madam, this bottle of white wine was brewed more than ten years ago. It comes with a rich taste and is strong. I'm sure it's suitable for Ms. Everheart to toast to everyone as a form of apology.""That's good. That's what I want." Rose accepted the heavy bottle of wine. Although it was yet to be unscrewed, she could smell its pungent scent. "I won't easily let anyone drink this. Plus… Believe it or not, a glass of this wine can knock out anyone here." Rose carried the bottle of wine and walked around the table. Finally, she stopped in front of Renee. "I'm letting a sinner like you enjoy such a great thing today. You must drink all of it. You can't waste it.""Huh? Does she have to drink it all? I'm afraid she'll vomit from drinking.""People will lose themselves with only three to five glasses of this wine. If they drink half of it, they might get alcohol poisoning no matter

"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
