Chapter 571
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Renee was uneasy as she struggled to introduce Mr.Q to Abby.
Abby would have driven him away with the small shovel if she had informed her he was coming to acquire Sun Island.
âHeâs a new friend I made in Beach City,â she answered hopelessly since this was the only response she could come up with.
âMommyâs friend?â
Abby stepped out of Reneeâs embrace and moved up to Mr. Q. She smiled pleasantly and glanced at him before grasping his palm in her small hand.â Greetings from Sun Island. Youâre my friend too because youâre mommyâs buddy!â
Mr. Qâs frigid expression vanished, and it was clear that Abbyâs kindness warmed his chilly heart.
As a result, he knelt and shook Abbyâs hand, saying, âNice to meet you, little girl. Not only am I your motherâs friend, but I am also your brotherâs buddy. I am confident that the four of us will be great friends.â
âOf course!â
âMommy doesnât have many friends, especially male friends,â Abby said, her eyes sparkling with delight. âHer only pals for the last four years had been Daddy Liam and Auntie Leia. I used to think she was lonely, but now that youâre her buddy, you should spend more time with her!â
âDaddy Liam? Is he your motherâs husband?â Mr. Q inquired.
âNo. Mommy is not married. Daddy Liam isnât our biological father; heâs just our legal father,â Abby said truthfully.

She would tell a stranger every detail, which often left Renee in a bind.
Mr. Q had a smile on his face as he stroked Abbyâs head. âThis island is stunning. Would you mind being my tour guide and showing me around?â
âCome with me!â
Abby took his hand in hers and raced forward without hesitation. She was full of energy and cheerful, which only made her cuter.
Meanwhile, Renee and Margaret followed them.
Margaret felt defensive as he questioned Renee while staring at the manâs back. âDid everything go well, Miss Ren? Why did you bring a guy here unexpectedly? With the mask on, he seems strange, as if he is a wicked guy. Is he reliable?â
Renee let out a deep sigh and told Margaret everything that had transpired.
âHeâs neither good nor evil. He is, in fact, a businessman. Heâs come to ponder on whether or not the island is worthy. If he enjoys it, weâll have to leave the island and go back to Beach City.â
âReturn to Beach City?â
âYes. I found Addie and Abby a kindergarten. Although there are a few issues with constructing the Everheart house, Iâll work on them gradually. The objective is that both children may have regular lives like the other youngsters.â
She doesnât have to be as low-key now that Stefan has died since she doesnât have to worry about his taking her children away.
âThis is great news. But thereâs one thing Iâm concerned aboutâ¦â Margaret replied dejectedly, her expression somber
