The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 2274

"No, I'm not going to snatch away the bride." Stefan put his fork down and stood up. He added calmly, "Plus, I'm going to give them a huge wedding gift."

Flabbergasted and shocked, Francine's face stiffened.

"I'm full. Just enjoy your meal." Stefan went past Francine and headed upstairs to his room.

Francine and Alexander watched Stefan's upright but desolate back for a long time, unable to snap back to reality. "Alexander, is there something wrong with him? Should we get an exorcist? He's acting weird!"

Francine could not accept to see Stefan that generous all of a sudden. His woman was snatched away, but he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he wanted to buy the couple a big wedding gift.

She couldn't come up with any other possibility except that Stefan was crazy or possessed.

"I can understand him." Suddenly, Alexander became sad as if he recalled his past. He looked gloomy as he added, " Sometimes, letting go is a kind of happiness. Helping the others to be together is true love."

"Hmph, I knew it!" Francine's face turned hideous, displeased with Alexander's reaction. She started mocking him. "Yes, genes are terrible. Your son inherited your messy romance. Do you regret letting go and helping them to be a couple back then? And do you regret getting your second choice, which is me?"

Alexander frowned, sounding guilty. "We're talking about Stef. Why must you involve me? My affair is long buried in the past, and we agreed never to bring it up. Why do you always bring that up lately? Have you thought about the consequences if others learn about that?"

"Of course I do!"

Francine suddenly became agitated.

She clutched her chest and said, "I was cautious because I knew how serious the consequences were. I was too timid to let them know, but it was still our mistake. I feel that we shouldn't keep it a secret... Why don't we call them here and confess the truth to them? Ren can blame or hate us if she wants, but I don't want her to be angry at Stef. I can do anything as long as they're back together."

"No! We can't do that!" Alexander was firm.

As a man, he was naturally more rational.

He warned seriously, "That affair is already in the past. As long as we keep it to ourselves, no one will know. But if we expose it, things will get complicated and messy. Then, they can never make peace with each other. Our families will become enemies. Adie and Abby will get stuck in between. What should they do, then? What kind of choices should they make?"

In the past, the grudges between Stefan's parents and Renee's parents were more complicated and aggressive compared to the entanglement between Renee and Stefan.

However, Maurice and Timothy suppressed it. Hence, both families seemed calm and close.

Yet, the four of them knew how complicated things were underneath the calmness. There were deep resentment and grudges.

Alexander knew that they could never ruin the calmness. If not, all the dirty sins would be exposed.
