Chapter 885
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âYou mean youâve been thinking of a âfutureâ with me?â
âOf course!â
Renee held the handsome manâs face and teased him, âIf I donât plan to have a long-term relationship with you, why would I waste my time? Look at you. Your face becomes tense so easily. Itâs not handsome anymore. Come on, smile for me. I love your smile. It captivates me every time.â
âStop being glib with me. I warn you, if you dare leave me, Iâll break your leg.â
Stefanâs tone was still cool and arrogant, but his mood had obviously improved, and he could not help but smile.
âI know, I know. Hurry up and make dinner already. Leiaâs starving!â
âFine. Xavier is roasting a leg of lamb. It should be done soon. Letâs head over there.â
After that, he gave Renee a possessive kiss and went away to prepare dinner.
Leia watched everything with wide eyes. She remained shocked for a long time.
âT-Thatâs it?â
She gulped hard and asked, âRenee, what did you do? How did you tame the legendary giant iceberg whoâs used to being in control? I was ready for him to erupt, but his rage subsided so easily and heâs even making dinner for us! Heâs become a model husband!â
âI donât knowâ¦â
Renee shrugged and let out a long sigh. âItâs probably karma. Itâs like he became who I used to be.â
They set up the welcoming feast on a beach on the west side of Sun Island. The beach was flat and vast, with soft, fine sand. Because it was well above sea level, it was basically not affected by high tides. It had always been the best gathering spot on the island.
A campfire and a barbecue grill had been set up on the beach. A huge lamb leg was on the grill, ready for consumption. It was sizzling and dripping oil. The aroma was very tempting.
âSun Island is still as relaxing as ever. Itâs totally my dream island!â
Leia faced the sea and spread open her arms, embracing the wind and the waves. Her body and mind felt relaxed.
Adie and Abby had a great time playing with their newly-met uncle Xavier, but when they saw Leia, they immediately abandoned Xavier and ran towards her.
âYouâre here too, Aunt Leia! Yay! Adie and I missed you so much!â
Abby gave Leia a sweet smile and plunged into Leiaâs arms, then gave her a big kiss on the cheek.
âLong time no see, my little princess. You look even cuter now. Let me give you a kiss back.â
Leia held the little girlâs face and kissed her repeatedly.
When it was Adieâs turn, the little boy crossed his arms, turned his head away, and said solemnly, âIâm a boy and youâre a girl, so we canât kiss or weâll have to get married.â
This was the conclusion Adie came to after he saw Stefan and Renee kiss each other following an argument.
âHuh? Thatâsâ¦â
Leia was speechless.
âDinnerâs ready! Come here, everyone!â
Xavier knocked on a champagne glass and greeted everyone as if he was the islandâs owner. He had completely made himself at home.
All of them gathered by the fire. The long dining table had various delicious food on it. It was decorated with flowers and ribbons, making the mood very romantic.
âKids, Aunt Leia would like to perform a show for us. Letâs enjoy the show before we start eating.â
Xavier smiled at Leia, who was sitting across from him, through the flickering candlelight.
