Chapter 679
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âStop being so full of yourself. The way I see it, Adie is interested in you because you and Stefan are enemies. So, the enemy of his enemy is his friend.â
Renee considered inwardly whether or not to go along with Mr. Qâs proposal and pretend to be a loving couple with him to fulfill the wishes of her two children.
If he was a good man, having one more person to love her two children wouldnât be a bad thing.
If he were a bad man, however, he would eventually reveal his true colors, and the two children would no longer be fooled.
âSo, do you want to give it a try?â Mr. Q asked, and when he saw the hesitation in the woman, he pushed further and said, âGive me a response. The children are looking at us from afar. If we agree, they will definitely be overjoyed.â
Renee looked towards her children. She saw them standing not too far away, their eyes shining with expectation.
Even if Renee had a heart made of steel, she couldnât bear to disappoint her children. So, she turned to Mr. Q and said, âI agree, but let me make it clear that weâre only pretending to be a couple for the childrenâs sake. We wonât do anything real couples do. If you try to take advantage of me, Iâll make sure you regret it!â
âI concur.â
Mr. Q nodded, but he then reached out to pull Renee into his arms.
âHey! What are you doing, you pervert? Didnât we just agree about not taking advantage of me? Youâre asking for troubleâ¦â
âDonât move. The children are watching. We donât want to disappoint them, right?â
Indeed, the two kids were staring intently at them as they jumped in excitement.
âAdie, it seems like Mommy and Daddy Q are really together now! This is great! We have both a mommy and a daddy from now on! The kids at the kindergarten canât say that we donât have a daddy anymore!â
âYeah. Q is impressive. Apart from me protecting you and Mommy, weâll have Q to help protect you too!
Iâm very pleased.
âNow that Mommy and Daddy Q are together, will we get a new sibling?â
âItâs hard to say. But whether we get a new brother or sister in the future, Iâll like them either way! Iâll also protect them like I protect you and Mommy!â
âYouâre amazing, Adie! Youâre a superhero! I want to protect our future brother or sister too!â
The two little ones were thrilled and had already started imagining a future where Renee and Mr. Q would have kids.
On the other side, Renee stiffened in the manâs embrace and asked coldly,â Are we done hugging? Can we let go now? Isnât this awkward?â
She rarely had such close contact with men, especially with a man she didnât like at all. She felt uncomfortable all over at the distance between them.
âHold on a little longer,â Mr. Q said seriously. âKids nowadays are smart, Adie and Abby even more so.
If we donât play our roles sincerely, theyâll definitely see through it. Theyâll be disappointed if that happens, so⦠letâs hold each other a little longer. We should also be a little more affectionate so they can feel that our love is real and be truly happy.â
âAlright, geez. Youâre so long-winded! Isnât it just a hug? Letâs keep hugging.
Hug as long as you want.â
Renee decided to go all out and use her lifelong acting skills to play the role of a loving couple with this man to fulfill her childrenâs dream of having both parents.
Fireworks continued to burst into the night sky, showering the dark with brilliant colors and shapes. It was beautiful as it was heartwarming.
Renee couldnât help but once again be immersed in such a romantic atmosphere.
However, there was some regret in her heart. Surely, if Mr. Q were her childrenâs real father, that would be much betterâ¦
