Chapter 975
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âAh, monster!â
âThatâs so scary! Did someone cut off half of his face? Thatâs terrible!â
The passersbyâs reactions hurt Quintonâs self-esteem badly. He quickly put his mask back on and smiled bitterly. âSorry for scaring you.â
âN-Noâ¦â Renee felt sorry for Quinton and comforted him, âI think youâre very handsome. Your eyes are very much like Momâs â gentle and determined. Your mouth is very much like Dadâs. You have beautiful lips. Youâre really my brother. If we werenât blood-related, I wouldâve fallen in love with you at first sight!â
âReally?â Quintonâs eyes brightened immediately. Quinton had always wondered what his mother looked like. He had imagined it countless times, but it never felt real. However, when Renee described her, her image immediately came to his mind and his heart softened.
âOf course. You can ask Lei too. Sheâs Mom and Dadâs goddaughter and often visited us. She knows Mom and Dadâs faces very well⦠Right, Lei?â
âY-Yes!â Leia had been startled by Quintonâs scar earlier, but when she thought about it, Quinton actually had a handsome face. His handsomeness was no less than Stefan and Xavierâs. In fact, he was even more perfect than Stefan and Xavier.
Quintonâs eyes, which he inherited from his mother, looked like they held many stories. Reneeâs mother had been as famous as Francine back then. She had been the most beautiful person in North City!
âQuintonâs eyes are exactly the same as Godmotherâs eyes. I was stunned, I thought I saw my godmotherâ¦â Leia said with a sincere look on her face.
âThatâs great.â Quinton finally regained his self-esteem. Renee and Leiaâs praises had put a smile on his face, and he glowed like an elegant prince.
Xavier, on the other hand, said coldly, âGee. Stefan was ruthless back then and cut his face so badly.
Heâs like a monster. Who wouldnât have a nightmare after seeing him?
Renee and Leia were at a loss for words.
Xavier asked, âWhy are you both glaring at me? Did I say something wrong? He knows what his face looks like. Otherwise, why would he wear a mask? He may lose himself because of your excessive praise. If he stops wearing the mask, he may scare the children. Even if he doesnât scare the kids, what if he scares innocent passersby?â
Leia could not take it anymore and punched Xavier hard in the stomach. âXavier, just shut up, will you?!â
âOww! It hurts!â Xavier covered his stomach and grimaced in pain. He blurted out, âLeia! Damn! Are you trying to murder your husband?â
Immediately, Leia froze. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she stopped talking.
Xavier took a while to calm down. After that, he said solemnly, âDonât be angry! Iâm saying it for his own good!â
Then, he turned to Quinton, who had an icy expression on his face. âQuinton, havenât you considered getting a plastic surgeon to restore your handsome face?â
âNo!â Quinton gritted his teeth and replied in annoyance. Quinton was already at the limit of his patience. Xavier was just a frivolous man and another rich kid like Stefan. If it were not for Renee, he would have killed him!
âNo? That doesnât matter. Universal Entertainment may not be familiar with all kinds of business, but weâre renowned for our plastic surgery services. Nine out of ten artists in our company have undergone plastic surgery. I know a highly-skilled plastic surgeon called Ghost. He can surely save this face of yours!â Xavier said enthusiastically.
âReally?â Quinton frowned. Xavierâs words sparked a glimmer of hope in him. Who would not want to have a normal face if they could?
