Chapter 981
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âEh, wellâ¦â
Renee tried to join their conversation but found that they were too engrossed in their conversation. She had no chance to get a word in.
Hence, she decided to leave first. âIâll leave you to your chat. Bye.â
When she was back in the dining room, Quinton had almost finished cooking. He was now enthusiastically arranging the dishes on the table.
âSis, youâre home. Youâre just in time for the meal. Whereâs Xavier and Lei?â
âTheyâre still chatting.â
âWhat are they talking about? Theyâre so engrossed in it.â
âEr, theyâre discussing how to gain my heart.â
Renee became quite helpless.
While arranging the dishes, Quintonâs hands stiffened briefly. He asked tentatively, âWhat do you think of Xavier?â
âAlthough heâs not very serious, heâs a good man. He even saved my life.â
âThatâs good. You can consider him.â
âOh, please. Quinton, why do you behave like Lei? Why do you keep setting me up with some random guy? Didnât you promise to take care of me for the rest of my life and ensure my safety without me getting married and pregnant?â
âThatâs true, but I hope that you can get a good lover. Whatâs more, Xavier is Stefanâs buddy. He should have a deep understanding of Stefan. Well, weâll get a higher chance of winning the battle after turning the friend of your enemy into our confidante.â
Quinton raised a profound statement.
Both Xavier and Leia were back now. They were after the same target, so they were no longer at daggers drawn with each other now. In fact, they were at peace with each other.
Quinton now joined them, and the three of them shared the same goal.
While having dinner, Quinton and Leia both regarded Renee as a dish and nearly served her to Xavier.
âCome, have some prawns. Prawns are Renâs favorite.â
While Leia was talking, she shot Xavier a look.
Xavier laughed on his own. He picked up a prawn, then put on a pair of gloves and started peeling it patiently.
âYes, thatâs good. You accept advice readily. Keep this in mind: Ladies donât peel the prawns themselves if they want to eat it.â
Xavier nodded before he placed the nicely peeled prawn on Leiaâs plate. âMiss, you must be tired from teaching me the entire night. Have a prawn to rejuvenate yourself.â
Consequently, Leia was stunned. She stared at him in shock. âDude, are you out of your mind? Why did you give it to me? You should give it to Ren!â
âOh, right. Iâll peel one for Renee.â
He turned around and exchanged a look with Renee.
Suddenly, Renee was enlightened. She echoed his words, âItâs fine. My taste has changed. I donât like prawns anymore. He doesnât have to peel it for me.â
Xavier shrugged helplessly. He appeared to be sad. âLook, she doesnât even let me peel a prawn for her. She must feel that I have no right to do so. Iâm such a loser.â
When Leia saw his defeated look, she inevitably pitied him. So, she immediately did him the favor and ate the prawn. âPeople have different tastes. Iâll eat it then.â
âGreat, Iâll peel a few more for you.â
Hence, Xavier, who claimed that he wanted to pursue Renee, peeled prawns for Leia one after another.
Sitting in the main seat, Quinton was flabbergasted and confused.
What was happening? Their relationships were too complicated!
