The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Mr. Q calmly described the situation as if he was an outsider in the scenario. Despite having lost the battle, he didn’t seem to
hold any resentment at all, and graciously accepted his defeat.
“You’re kidding, right? How is that possible?” Renee was certain that Mr. Q was lying on purpose, all for the sake of toying with
her.
“I’d believe it if you said the relic had historical value, but I refuse to believe that it can cure all diseases! This is real life, not
some fantasy movie! If you keep bluffing, this thing is going to reveal its true form as a god or something!”
“You can choose to not believe me, but it is the truth. Stefan Hunt handed you something that he needs to survive, which means
that he literally put his life in your hands. I’m sure he asked for something in return.” Mr. Q raised an eyebrow questioningly.
“He didn’t ask for much, he... he probably felt like he owed me too much, so he gave this to me... to make himself feel better
about himself.” Renee stammered, trying to come up with a believable excuse.
“From what I know of him, Stefan Hunt isn’t someone who would reflect on his issues so easily. He’s such an arrogant man, so
why would he ever think he owes anyone anything?” Mr. Q scoffed.
Renee stared at the man in bewilderment. “Then... Why would he give me such an important relic?”
“That’s because he still has feelings for you, and he wants to get back together with you,” Mr. Q replied bluntly.
Renee’s face flushed, and she wondered if the angry confession earlier had some truth in it.
“So, what do you think? Would you like to start over with him... or me?” Mr. Q smiled softly, but his gaze was serious.
Renee clenched her fists, looking determined. “I will never get back together with him, so I don’t care if he still has feelings or if
he hasn’t moved on. It doesn’t matter to me.”
“Really?” Mr. Q’s smile widened slightly as he continued. “So, you’re saying you’re willing to give me a shot?”
“I didn’t think that far...” Renee mumbled, not rejecting him outright. In actuality, she was starting to get used to the man’s
existence after spending some time with him. If the children really needed a father, Mr. Q was definitely a suitable candidate.
Mr. Q then suddenly asked, “Have you ever wondered what you’d do if word about your twins got out? What if the Hunt family
tried to fight for custody?”

Renee frowned, feeling uneasy. “What do you mean? I don’t understand...”
“You don’t have to hide it from me, I can tell just by looking at them – they’re definitely related to your ex-husband. It’s just a
matter of time till they find out, so it’s better to prepare beforehand,” Mr. Q said in a mysterious tone.
At that point, the woman didn’t want to deny it any longer either. At the very least, Mr. Q was less harmful than Stefan, and
wouldn’t ever try to fight against her for custody. In fact, the four of them might just be able to live a blissful life together.
Renee looked at the man and asked slowly, “What do you mean by ‘preparing’ though?”
