Chapter 1472
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
They loved each other deeply, but the pain of being together seemed greater than when they were apart. If that was the case, Stefan felt that it was more logical to distance himself from Renee.
âWhat do you mean? Are you going to give my mommy up?â Stefanâs words filled Adie with displeasure. It was one thing prohibiting Stefan from getting close to Renee, but it was another thing if Stefan tried to stay away from Renee.
âNo, itâs not that I want to give her up, but I⦠I just want her to be happy,â Stefan said quietly, feeling like he could never make Renee happy.
âItâs useless if all you do is talk; you have to do something if you want to make my mommy happy.
Yes, I said I donât want to see you with my mommy, but why didnât you try to change my mind?â
Adie huffed disapprovingly, then demanded, âDo you still love my mommy?â
âYes, I do.â Stefan nodded firmly without any hesitation.
âThen, have you ever tried to win a woman over?â Adie asked, raising a brow, i âNoâ¦â After thinking about it briefly, Stefan shook his head.â The only time I tried to was with your mommy.â He recalled all those tricks he tried just to win Reneeâs heart again, all of which were taught by Xavier. He felt awkward thinking about it now. In all honesty, he didnât know how to pursue a woman, especially the one he loved so deeply. Either way, he didnât plan to do so because he wasnât confident that he could make her happy.
âDonât give up so fast since youâve tried to win my mommy over before. My mommy, Abby, and I can turn you down, but you canât give us up. Do you understand?â Adie said arrogantly, âListenâweâve deemed you worthy if we allow you to pursue her. Those other lousy men donât even have the chance to pursue my mommy, so you have to cherish this chance, understand?â
âWell, Iâll⦠work harder then?â Adieâs persuasive words amused Stefan and lightened his mood.
The little boy was a lot better at persuading people than his own mother. After listening to Adie, Stefan felt like trying to win Renee over again. He had decided to stay away from Renee and protect her in secret. He believed that a little space helped in ensuring a long-lasting relationship, i âGood! Thereâs a perfect chance now, so do you want to fight for it?â Adie finally got to the reason he was here. âWhat kind of chance?â Stefan asked curiously.
