The Untouchable Ex-Wife



Chapter 2231

Stefan got involved with Briar. At the same time, something seemed to be wrong with Renee and she insisted on meeting Justin's parents.

In short, they were lying to themselves.

Xavier found it ridiculous that they would break up and date someone else, when in truth they loved each other passionately and had gone through so much together.

They were just cowards who refused to face their problems head-on.

"Well said! I agree."

For the first time, Leia and Xavier shared the same thoughts on the issues related to love. Aside from Stefan and Renee, there were many similar examples. Leia was convinced Liam was doing the same thing.

She couldn't understand why they had to hurt themselves like that. It would be better to make peace.

Suddenly, Xavier turned around and looked at Leia passionately, and declared with utmost seriousness, "So, we can't do that!"

Having his face so close to hers so suddenly, Leia's heartbeat quickened. She pursed her lips and stood up shyly. "You're nuts! No, stop talking about us. We don't have anything to do with each other. I don't care what you want to do, either."

Xavier leaned against the chair, his pose mischievous but leisurely. When he saw her blush, he raised his brow and said, "We'll be bound together forever, sooner or later. I don't want there to be regrets between us-like those two."

"You're out of your mind!" Leia blushed even more and ran to Liam awkwardly. Panicky, she chose to run away.

They were dating, but it was the first time Xavier mentioned forever. He was a playboy, so it seemed unbelievable that he would settle down with her. She didn't believe that at all.

Before long, Leia and the others boarded the plane to return to Beach City together.noveldrama

Unbeknownst to anyone, Stefan was sitting on a seat near the window of a secluded corner. He watched the planes with a contemplating gaze.

He had reached this fort earlier than Justin and the rest, but he knew he wasn't in a position to make Renee stay. Their future would either end abruptly like today, or drag on miserably. He picked the easier choice and decided to watch Renee gain happiness with another man.

Stefan approved of Justin's family background, character, and loyalty toward Renee. Besides, asking Justin to save Renee was actually a test to sound Justin out.

Justin didn't retreat. Instead, he brought along an army to confront the mighty Jenkins family. It proved that he could risk his life for Renee, just like Stefan.

Hence, Stefan felt that Justin was qualified enough to replace him and spend the rest of his life with Renee.

Although his path with Renee would end here, seeing Renee happy was enough for him.

Stefan remained at the airport from noon till evening. The setting sun painted his figure a lonely, melancholic color.

"Renee, I pray that you'll be happy," Stefan whispered, his heart breaking into pieces.
