Chapter 1506
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
After such a lovely dinner, Renee suddenly felt like calling Quinton. Usually, sheâd come up with an excuse to end calls with Quinton because of her condition, but after tonight, she felt much more relaxed. She had calmly accepted her condition, and bravely called Quinton.
After a while, Quinton picked up her call. âRenee, why are you calling? Are you in trouble?â At that moment, Quinton was south of the sea, gathering manpower and materials to go diving for the treasure that had suddenly capsized. Heâd been feeling rather defeated because he hadnât gotten anything, and heâd also been worrying that Renee might bump into crooks at Beach City. Unfortunately, he couldnât go home just yet, so he was happy to see that Renee called. However, he couldnât help but feel worried as well because Renee wouldnât call without a reason.
âYouâre so pessimistic, Quinton. Canât I call because I want to share something happy with you?â
Renee asked teasingly as she sat on the bean bag on the top floor and swung her legs leisurely.
âYes, I can tell that youâre happy. What happened?â A sigh of relief escaped Quinton, and he smiled.
âHmm⦠How should I put it? I hired a pretty good helper at home. He does everything perfectly, and he cooks well. He doesnât even ask for high pay, and he works hard without complaints. I feel like Iâve struck the lottery!â Renee giggled like a young girl in love, but she couldnât tell Quinton that Stefan was the helper since he was Quintonâs sworn enemy.
âHeâs really that good?â
âHe is!â
âBut weâve got to find loyal helpers since theyâre the ones taking care of us. Even if their services are cheap, itâll be troublesome if they have ulterior motives.â Quintonâs instincts told him that this helper was extraordinary, but in his opinion, nothing was free in this world. He didnât know if it was a blessing or disaster that such a perfect helper had suddenly come to Renee.
âYouâre overthinking, Quinton, heâs just a helper. If he does a good job, Iâll keep him. If not, Iâll fire him.
He canât try anything with me,â Renee said, smiling smugly. She felt that Quinton was too cautious, and his worries were groundless.
âBut Iâm still worriedâ¦â After a brief contemplation, Quinton said seriously, âGive your phone to your helper. Iâll speak to him for a bit.â
âUmm⦠Iâm not sure thatâs a good idea,â Renee backtracked, regretting having boasted about Stefan so much. If Quinton learned that she had gotten entangled with Stefan again, heâd be furious.
âThereâs nothing wrong with it if heâs sincere, plus, Iâm just going to talk to him on the phone. What are you afraid of if thereâs nothing wrong with him?â Quinton immediately became suspicious, and tried to persuade Renee to let him talk to the helper.
Knowing she couldnât dissuade Quinton, Renee braced herself and called Stefan upstairs. âOkay, wait.
Iâll call him over and ask him to call you later.â
Stefan was helping the children with schoolwork in the study, but when he heard Renee call him, he hurried upstairs.
