Renee didn’t say anything. She didn’t agree, but she made no denial either.


    “Hahaha! Alright. You don’t have to answer me. I know what you’re thinking. Just listen to me and do as


    I say.” Xavier was determined to be the nice guy and go all the way. He decided he would try onest


    time to help this proud couple out.


    If it still didn’t work this time, he’d stop caring!


    Back in the barbecue area, Stefan and Seraphina were roasting skewers.


    As a result of them sharing the same birthday, they also had a simr outlook on life, and the two had


    always been close. One could even go as far as to say they were best friends.


    However, Stefan merely thought of Seraphina as a friend. Seraphina, on the other hand, started


    developing romantic feelings for him when puberty hit.


    Just as Seraphina was about to confess her feelings for Stefan, he and Renee suddenly had a sh


    marriage. Their wedding took the entire Beach City by surprise.


    Feeling bitter about her feelings that were not reciprocated, she decided to study abroad.


    A couple years back, she found out that Stefan and Renee had gotten divorced. The incident gave her


    the courage to return to the country, where she would pursue Stefan.


    She spent as much time as she could around Stefan, gradually making him ustomed to her, trust


    her, and depend on her… She was getting ready to confess her feelings.


    In the end, Renee came back.


    It was obvious how much Seraphina hated Renee. Renee was practically the thorn in the flesh for her.


    This proved Renee’s hypothesis. She wasn’t overthinking because of her own internal bias…


    Unfortunately, these simple-minded men couldn’t sense this at all.

    “Stefan, how’s it going between you and your ex-wife? You’re not nning to get back together, are


    you?” Seraphina asked carefully while she


    brushed oil against a skewer. She tried to make her question sound casual.


    Stefan pursed his lips. He didn’t seem too chirpy, and he was flipping the skewers without being fully


    present. “We’ve never been together. How do we get back together?”


    “That’s true. You didn’t marry out of love anyway. So many years were wasted. It’s so unfair to you.


    Besides…” Seraphina stared at Xavier and Renee, who were whispering to each other. “I think your ex-


    wife is a bitch. Although you two don’t have feelings for each other, you were once husband and wife.


    Why does she seem so close to Xavier? What is she even thinking? Does she even care about your


    feelings? I’m so upset… I want to beat her up!’


    Stefan nced at Renee. He flipped the skewers even more impatiently.” We’re all free to do whatever


    we want. I don’t care what she does.”


    “But Xavier and Shirley are still a couple. Doesn’t that make your ex-wife the third wheel in their


    rtionship? Even if she’s not doing you wrong, it’s not right for Shirley. This isn’t morally eptable…


    No way. I can’t control my temper. I need to teach her a lesson!”


    Seraphina rolled up her sleeves and prepared to go to war.


    This was when Renee and Xavier started walking toward them.


    “How’s the barbecue going? Do you need our help?” Xavier asked with a chuckle.


    “You two…” Stefan noticed how close Renee and Xavier seemed when they stood next to each other.


    “You two seem to be getting along!”
