The Untouchable Ex-Wife



Sadness overwhelmed Renee. Quinton was a dignified and powerful man who hated expressing his emotions. He had been separated from his real family from a young age, and was forced to live in an abusive and oppressive family after that. He had never experienced family warmth, not to mention the charms of love. After he started living with them, he became more optimistic and calm. He had just begun facing his feelings and connecting with other people, but now, they would leave him alone again.... The thought of it broke Renee's heart.

"Nothing's been decided yet. Kids change their minds all the time, so we might not go at all," Renee said casually, trying to lighten the atmosphere.

"But Adie isn't like that. I'm sure he's thought it through. You don't have to console me, I'm just..." After a pause, Quinton forced a gentle smile onto his face. "I just want to prepare myself. After all, you and the kids are the family I never knew I had. I've gotten used to being around you." Quinton was infamous for his cruelty as the boss of Carmine Pawnshop and his ruthlessness as the feared Night Demon. He would never admit that he missed or needed someone, but he didn't want to pretend in front of his sister. It was fine if she saw his true self.

"Why don't you go with us instead?" Renee didn't want to leave her brother either, and hurriedly said, "The weather on Sun Island is better than Beach City's. It's bright and peaceful all year round. We've got all kinds of equipment there with professional staff to maintain them, and we'll have our yacht there too. If we want to go to a crowded place to take a stroll, we can reach the neighboring city in half an hour. I think it's a great place to stay."

"That sounds like a dream... I think I'd like to go too." Quinton looked eager. Whenever he faced any obstacles and got too stressed, he would dream of living on an island away from the world. He had heard that Sun Island was a great place for retirement because of the relaxed lifestyle there, and since he grew up in a fishing village, he knew he'd adapt to life there well. However, he knew he had to be realistic about this too.

"If I go, what about Carmine Pawnshop? I founded it and gave my life to get it to where it is now. Also, what about the company you set up? It's doing well now... Plus, we still need to take revenge for our parents. How can we go just like that?" Quinton asked regretfully. He didn't mention that there was a person in Beach City he was staying for too.

"You're right, Quinton. I'm ashamed of myself. I can't face Daddy and Mommy..." Renee hung her head sadly. She was once her parents' most adored child and the hope of the Everheart family. When her parents had been slandered and bullied by others, they had jumped off a building; She had yet to avenge them and rebuild the Everheart name. She had dreamed of leaving and hiding on an island, retiring early to live a free life. If her deceased parents knew what she was thinking, they would be disappointed in her.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
