The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Stefan was gone for more than a week. He was gone without any news, as if he had disappeared like Mr. Q.
He could not be contacted by phone, Francine said she did not know where he was, and the media did not mention his
disappearance at all.
Leia was really anxious. She used her connections to look for him everywhere, but the rich young people who were usually
fearless all played dumb this time, afraid to say too much.
However, Renee remained calm. When her call couldn’t get through, she would just try calling again after a few hours. If she still
couldn’t get through, she would simply give up as if nothing had happened.
On a certain morning, Renee leisurely set up an easel facing the sea to paint the beautiful sunrise.
Leia anxiously paced back and forth beside her. After a while, she could not stand it anymore. She grabbed Renee’s paintbrush
and asked with a frown, “Ren, how can you still paint at a time like this? Aren’t you worried?”
“What’s there to worry about?”
Renee asked leisurely.
“You haven’t heard from Stefan for a week. He couldn’t stay away from you when he was here, but now he’s suddenly
disappeared. This is abnormal...”
“What’s abnormal about it?”
Renee smiled. “It’s not like he’d get killed or he’d cheat on me.”
“Why not?!”
Leia said emotionally, “It wouldn’t be the first time he cheats on you. Have you forgotten that he once made his mistress
pregnant and forced you to divorce him? A man either doesn’t cheat, or he would cheat multiple times. There’s no in between.
You can’t be too careful.”
Leia was worried that Renee would get hurt again, so it was difficult to say many things directly, but she felt anxious if she did not
say anything.

“If he really did cheat on me, considering his personality, I don’t think he would hide it from me, let alone do something as
childish as avoiding me by not answering the phone. That’s why I think he must have his reasons for going missing. Once he’s
solved the problem, he’ll naturally appear again.”
Renee spoke with confidence and optimism.
A good relationship must be able to withstand tests, and the first hurdle was always the matter of trust.
If they could not even pass this hurdle, it would only be a matter of time before they broke up, so there was no need to be
anxious.
“You can’t say that. Men are like kites, you have to hold onto them with a string. Stefan is currently like a kite that has broken free
from the string. God knows where he’s flown to. You can’t just let him fly further and further away while relying on nothing but
your trust to keep him honest. You’ll regret it.”
Leia and Renee have completely opposite views on the matter. To Leia, a relationship had to be carefully managed. Certain
“constraints” were necessary.
After all, human nature was too profound and unpredictable. Both Renee and her had lost to it before. That’s why they should be
even more cautious!
“No, no, no. Leia, I don’t agree with what you said.”
Xavier walked over with a milk-flavored lollipop that he had just cheated off Abby. His hands were in his pockets and his gait was
carefree. He said playfully, “If a man wants to fly away, he’ll still fly away even if you tie him up with a thousand strings. Your
constraints will only make him fly away faster. Renee has the right idea. You must treat men nonchalantly, like you’re willing to let
them go anytime. If he’s yours, he won’t fly away, and if he’s not yours, you won’t be able to tie him down. Understand?”
“You scum! You and Stefan are birds of a feather. Don’t spread your stupid theory here!”
After that night, Leia’s feelings for Xavier had changed in ways that even she had not noticed.
Her healthy tan skin inexplicably felt a bit hot. She felt very awkward. She turned her back on Xavier, too shy to face him.
Xavier, on the other hand, behaved very casually. He approached Leia and, like an elementary school boy who pulled a girl’s
braids, teased her by saying, “You’ve never even dated me before, so how do you know that I’m a scum? Or do you want to date

me but you’re afraid that I’d cheat on you?”
“Scum!”
Leia blushed even harder. She slammed her elbow into Xavier’s stomach and threatened, ‘”If you want to die that badly, I don’t
mind helping you!”
“Ouch!”
Xavier’s body curled up like a shrimp.
Not only was her tongue sharp, her blows were heavy too. Xavier was in a lot of pain.
