The Untouchable Ex-Wife

“But I want to…”

Xavier hesitated while looking at Renee, looking very pitiful.

“You want to play video games, right? You can’t!”

Renee’s attitude was firm, like a disciplinary teacher.

“Hmph, whatever!”

His hopes crushed, Xavier angrily covered his head with the blanket and went to sleep.

The way he was fierce but scared at the same time was kinda cute.

When he heard that they were leaving, he quickly pulled down the blanket and asked, “Renee, you said you’re going to take care of me. Is that true?”

“Of course.”

Renee did not hesitate. “You saved my life. Isn’t it natural for me to take care of you?”

“But let me make this clear. I’m not a very patient woman. If you keep being difficult and refuse to cooperate like you did earlier, I can’t promise I won’t beat you up!”

“There’s no need to worry. As long as you’re the one taking care of me, I’ll definitely cooperate.”

Xavier went back to sleep.

Christopher watched all this with a somewhat complicated expression.

“Mr. Jacobs, I’m going to the nearby supermarket to buy some food and necessities for this guy. Will you come with me?”

Renee asked Christopher.

She was serious when she said she would take care of Xavier. It was to repay him for saving her life.

“I’ll be right there. I need to talk to Xavier first.”

“Okay.”

Renee did not ask what they were gonna talk about. She simply left.

Christopher walked over to Xavier’s bed and pulled down the blanket that was covering his head. With a serious face, he asked, ” What are you doing?”

Xavier was about to fall asleep. He woke up with a puzzled look on his face and asked, “What’s the matter, Chris? You’re still here?”

Christopher did not look too happy. He said coldly, “Don’t play the innocent with me. Be honest and tell me what’s going on between you and Miss Everheart.”

“Nothing’s going on.”

Xavier said, “I went to her house for tea, and her house caught fire.

I saved her and, in the process, hurt my leg…”

“That’s all?”

“Yeah, that’s all!”

“Why do I feel like you have feelings for her…”

“Nope, definitely not!”

Xavier denied it vehemently. “I don’t have any interest in her. You know what kind of women I like. Even if she’s the only woman left in the world, I still wouldn’t be interested in her!”

“Our friendship is purely platonic. As you know, if it weren’t for her, Zack Rosenwell wouldn’t have represented me in that lawsuit. I’m being so nice to her because I owe her a favor.” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Xavier wanted to explain further but Christopher raised his hand and stopped him. “You don’t have to explain anymore. It’s fine as long as you know what you’re doing.”

“Some women you can fall for, but some you can’t… Never touch a brother’s lover. I’m sure you know the code.”

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit weird.

Xavier, who had always respected Christopher, novelxo suddenly gave him a mocking smile. “Chris, I’m not as stupid as you think. I know what I’m doing. I’ll never cross the lines that I shouldn’t cross.

But… aren’t you the one who failed to follow the code?”

Christopher lowered his head, his handsome and elegant face filled with regret. “That’s right. You should consider me a cautionary tale. I don’t want the three of us to fall apart again because of a woman!”

“Understood!”

Xavier said nonchalantly, “I’m just having some fun because I’m bored. There’s no need to take it that seriously.”

While they were talking, Stefan pushed open the door and walked in…
