The Untouchable Ex-Wife



The scar on Quinton's face had been recovering so well that it was almost negligible. Yet, it didn't mean that his inner woes had gone away.

His hatred was still there, but he kept suppressing for Renee's sake. He wanted to be a decent man.

"It's no longer important whether she likes him or not. Stop fixating on it," Renee snapped.

She had no idea how to comfort Quinton, because she couldn't comfort herself either.

The only thing they could do was to stop dwelling on it. They had to force themselves to get out of that dilemma.

Rennee had a full understanding of human nature. It would be hard to make things clear if they dwelled on it.

As a woman, she couldn't believe that Joanne felt nothing for Stefan. However, after some consideration, Joanne knew Stefan only regarded her as someone he happened to help. It didn't mean that she was conniving and scheming.

If one took a fancy to a flower, they could stand afar and enjoy its charms quietly. There was no need to pluck it

out.

Renee felt that Joanne might be that kind of woman. Joanne might have felt something for Stefan, but never wanted to get into a relationship with him. She merely admired him because he had rescued her from a desperate and dangerous situation. It had nothing to do with love.

"Quinton, you must trust me and yourself. Joanne has deeper and more complicated feelings for you. I think she just admires Stefan, like an idol. If you want to fuss over that, it'll be tiring and meaningless,' Renee said.

She wanted Quinton to stop taking things too hard. If he could do that, his relationship with Joanne could be eased.

Otherwise, they would always remember the harm the other inflicted on them. Then, it would cause more harm. Quinton made no reply, opting to stay silent.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"I'll take that as a yes," Renee said.

She knew Quinton well. He was arrogant; even if he agreed with her, he would appear quite headstrong about it.

"I know you want to make peace with Joanne, no matter how fierce or resentful you are. If not, you wouldn't want her to stay or force her to stay when she tried to leave. You wouldn't try all means to make s'mores pops and desserts to make her happy. You pretended to be indifferent because you didn't know how to make peace with her. Am I right?"

"What do you know?" Quinton glanced at Renee arrogantly, but didn't reject her opinion.

True, he wanted to ease his relationship with Joanne though he was still full of hatred and anger.

"Well, listen to me then. Come to my class from tomorrow onward," Renee said.

Quinton was flabbergasted.

Renee smiled. "You know it. Her other regret is she didn't get to go to college. You'll be her study buddy from now on. She'll stay here just to get into a college.
