The Untouchable Ex-Wife



"It isn't your fault," Quinton said.

He shook his head and glanced at Renee, who was following him. A long sigh escaped him. "Stefan is annoying, but after some thought, I think some of his words made sense."

Renee frowned, and stopped herself from complaining. Instead, she asked, "Which part?"

If she remembered correctly, Stefan spouted a lot of messy nonsense. To her, none of them were logical. She wondered why Quinton would come to think that way, given that he always regarded Stefan as his enemy.

"He said I'm crazy, and that I'll only bring you trouble. I should stay away from you for your sake." Quinton frowned, looking forlor. He said gloomily, "Maybe I should. Do you think I should go away to work, and you and the kids return to Sun Island?"

"Quinton! What rubbish is that?" Renee retorted.

Seeing Quinton so disappointed and blaming himself, she felt very sorry for him.

"Even if I want to go back to Sun Island, I'm taking you with me. If not, I would've long gone there. For what reason should I stay here? As for that nonsense about keeping some distance from me, just ignore him! Don't sink to his level. He's a cold and heartless man. He always put his interests above everything else. He doesn't know how valuable family affection is."

"No!" Quinton took a few steps back, blinking in pain. "I recalled my past. I'm a curse! I only brought misfortune to the people around me. I've already ruined Joanne. I can't ruin you."

"That's different!" Renee tried to comfort Quinton. "Joanne and you fell out with each other! Even then, it isn't your sole responsibility. It was the environment back then. It was destined. I know you care about her very much. You want her to be happy, don't you?"Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

"So what of it?" Quinton broke into a bitter smile. "I still ruined everything. I ruined her purity and hope in life. She's now a living corpse. I brought this upon her. And I caused you so much trouble, too. Staying away from you seems to be the only thing I can do!"

Quinton generally pretended to be cold and cruel, but in truth, he often reflected on his actions until he wanted to slap himself hard.

He had thought about it more than once. If it weren't for him, Joanne might have led a simple life. She might even find a refined gentleman and have cute children. Her family would be an ordinary one, full of happiness and warmth.

He also thought about something else more than once. Stefan's betrayal of Renee might be caused by him- perhaps Stefan was bothered by him, her annoying brother.

If he hadn't been around, Stefan and Renee might still be a couple. They might even be happily ever after. "Quinton, wake up!" Renee yelled.

She couldn't bear to see Quinton so delusional and pessimistic. She would rather see him be his usual self, making a scene anywhere he wanted. At the very least, he was himself and more carefree.

Instead, he was stressing himself out.

"When I was younger, Grandpa told me to be confident and bold. That I should never doubt myself! When you feel that life is unhappy, or something's wrong, then it must be because of someone else. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. We just need to resolve the problems on the surface. Do you understand?" Renee said seriously, gripping Quinton's shoulders.

Although that logic was self-centered, it was useful.
