Chapter 655
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Renee didnât say anything. She didnât agree, but she made no denial either.
âHahaha! Alright. You donât have to answer me. I know what youâre thinking. Just listen to me and do as I say.â Xavier was determined to be the nice guy and go all the way. He decided he would try one last time to help this proud couple out.
If it still didnât work this time, heâd stop caring!
Back in the barbecue area, Stefan and Seraphina were roasting skewers.
As a result of them sharing the same birthday, they also had a similar outlook on life, and the two had always been close. One could even go as far as to say they were best friends.
However, Stefan merely thought of Seraphina as a friend. Seraphina, on the other hand, started developing romantic feelings for him when puberty hit.
Just as Seraphina was about to confess her feelings for Stefan, he and Renee suddenly had a flash marriage. Their wedding took the entire Beach City by surprise.
Feeling bitter about her feelings that were not reciprocated, she decided to study abroad.
A couple years back, she found out that Stefan and Renee had gotten divorced. The incident gave her the courage to return to the country, where she would pursue Stefan.
She spent as much time as she could around Stefan, gradually making him accustomed to her, trust her, and depend on her⦠She was getting ready to confess her feelings.
In the end, Renee came back.
It was obvious how much Seraphina hated Renee. Renee was practically the thorn in the flesh for her.
This proved Reneeâs hypothesis. She wasnât overthinking because of her own internal biasâ¦
Unfortunately, these simple-minded men couldnât sense this at all.
âStefan, howâs it going between you and your ex-wife? Youâre not planning to get back together, are you?â Seraphina asked carefully while she brushed oil against a skewer. She tried to make her question sound casual.
Stefan pursed his lips. He didnât seem too chirpy, and he was flipping the skewers without being fully present. âWeâve never been together. How do we get back together?â
âThatâs true. You didnât marry out of love anyway. So many years were wasted. Itâs so unfair to you.
Besidesâ¦â Seraphina stared at Xavier and Renee, who were whispering to each other. âI think your ex-
wife is a bitch. Although you two donât have feelings for each other, you were once husband and wife.
Why does she seem so close to Xavier? What is she even thinking? Does she even care about your feelings? Iâm so upset⦠I want to beat her up!â
Stefan glanced at Renee. He flipped the skewers even more impatiently.â Weâre all free to do whatever we want. I donât care what she does.â
âBut Xavier and Shirley are still a couple. Doesnât that make your ex-wife the third wheel in their relationship? Even if sheâs not doing you wrong, itâs not right for Shirley. This isnât morally acceptableâ¦
No way. I canât control my temper. I need to teach her a lesson!â
Seraphina rolled up her sleeves and prepared to go to war.
This was when Renee and Xavier started walking toward them.
âHowâs the barbecue going? Do you need our help?â Xavier asked with a chuckle.
âYou twoâ¦â Stefan noticed how close Renee and Xavier seemed when they stood next to each other.
âYou two seem to be getting along!â
