The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Leia had goosebumps all over her body. She quickly stopped Xavier from continuing. “That’s insane. They killed them all?”
“This is just a TV show, so relatively speaking, it’s already a pretty mild outcome. If it had happened in real life, it would have
been even more insane.”
Xavier sighed deeply.
As one of the eight major families in Beach City, the Stuart family had seen a lot of things that were even uglier and more insane
than what happened in TV shows.
“So what you’re trying to say is, Stefan is like Robb who canceled his marriage, while I’m like the innocent nurse who ended up
getting stabbed in the stomach. If I go back, I’m dead for sure?”
Renee asked Xavier.
“You know it.”
Xavier shrugged and said, “All I can tell you is, the Murphy family came to power through shady means. The methods they used
were much more brutal than what you see in TV shows. If you don’t show up, considering the power of the Hunt family, maybe
there’s still room for negotiation between the two families. But if you go back, it would be a huge provocation to the Murphy
family. If you upset them, the consequences could be really dire.”
“That’s right. Let’s just stay put and not do anything reckless. I think Stefan must have thought this through.”
Leia quickly agreed with Xavier and secretly gave him a thumbs up.
‘This playboy is quite eloquent. He managed to explain the situation with just a few words.”
“Fine, I’ll wait a little longer.”
Renee finally changed her mind.
“Thank goodness.”
Leia released Renee’s hand with relief. She exchanged glances with Xavier and they smiled at each other. For the first time, the
two of them were on the same side.

That evening, they drank some wine and had a long conversation.
The children were restless that evening. Even though it was already past eleven o’clock, they were still not feeling sleepy. They
insisted that Renee keep them company.
The children’s bedroom was decorated like a starry sky. Renee lay in the center of the bed with a child on each side. The
children clutched Renee’s arms like a couple of kittens.
“Mommy, Daddy has been gone for so long. When is he coming back? Abby misses him.”
Abby pouted, clearly feeling a bit unhappy.
The two kids were dissatisfied with Stefan to begin with. Stefan managed to regain some favor when he stayed on Sun Island for
a few days, but his sudden disappearance disappointed the children again.
“Well, it’s a bit complicated.”
Renee felt a bit awkward.
Adie asked expressionlessly, “What’s so complicated about it? He abandoned us, right? It’s not the first time he’s done it, so it’s
no surprise.”
“Ugh, no, that’s not it...”
Renee decided to be honest with the children. She then asked them sincerely, “If you’re Mommy, do you think Mommy should
fight alongside Daddy or stay here and wait for him to come back?”
