The Untouchable Ex-Wife



Quinton smiled bitterly. "Do you think it's suitable for me to approach anyone given my condition? I'll only hurt them if I get close. It's been so many years since we last met, but she would rather die than be near me. What do you think I can do?"

"I know Joanne's actions made you feel hopeless, but both of you are too extreme. You both have serious issues you need to settle." Renee patiently comforted Quinton. "But you're a man. If you want to make things better, you can only start from yourself."

"What can I do?" Quinton shook his head. "I told you-I have no love and don't know how to show love. All I ever do is harm others."

"You don't have love, but I do. You don't know how to show love, but I do!" Renee smacked her chest and said confidently, "Honestly, I'm an experienced kiss-ass. Stefan was the only man I loved back then, and when I married him, I tried my best to please him for many years. However, his reaction was worse than Joanne's-he didn't take me seriously and even ignored me..." Renee felt like slapping herself when she recalled how pathetic she was back then. "But eventually, I came to my senses and stopped fawning over him. After that, he started pestering me instead, then we ended up like this. We're separated now."Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"But I don't think you two have moved on from each other." Quinton tore down Renee's pretense. "You're still all over him, even if it's not obvious. As for him... I can't really understand him. It looks like he loves you very much, but it seems like he's hiding something. I don't think he's a good person. It's good that you guys are separated." As an outsider, Quinton could understand the romance between Renee and Stefan better than his romance with Joanne. He never doubted the love between Renee and Stefan; he just felt that there were some obstacles between them they still had to overcome. That was why they couldn't be together even though they still cared about each other.

"Let's not talk about that. What should we do about you and Joanne..." Renee tried to divert the topic, wondering how they had started talking about her and Stefan instead.

"You and I have different lives. I lived in a loving family. I felt love, so I was good at expressing love... but sometimes wonder if I received too much love. Is that why I became a kiss-ass? My show of love seems never- ending." Renee laughed at herself, but recalled those memories fondly. The love her parents, grandpa, friends, and children showed her was fulfilling and unconditional, so she had never been afraid of getting hurt. Undeniably, loving someone was an ability too. That pure love was what supported every time she boldly approached Stefan. She hoped that Quinton could feel that too.

"Tell me what I should do then." Quinton saw her confidence and wanted her guidance. He had never experienced love, but he wanted to learn how to show it.

"It's simple-don't be fierce to her, and think about how to be nice to her." Renee rubbed her chin and considered it for a moment. "You grew up with Joanne, so I'm sure you know her better than I do. What does she like best?"
