The Untouchable Ex-Wife



"I used to think the same way. I wanted a pure and passionate love... but my thoughts have changed now. I think the most important thing in love isn't the so-called sparks or the butterflies in our stomach but..."

'But what?" Leia asked eagerly.

"Comfort!" Renee smiled. "A couple needs to spend the rest of their lives together, which is a long time. It isn't enough just being attracted to each other-being comfortable is the most important thing. If it's a very intense and passionate love, it'll end up hurting them both. It'll only bloom for a while and won't last long. In the end, the two people holding hands as they watch the sunset will keep each other company, take care of each other, and listen to each other's woes."

Leia listened to Renee's explanation and nodded thoughtfully. "You sound so logical. Attraction won't last forever, so the most important thing is compatibility!"

"Yeah, I think you and Xavier are pretty compatible. You're very relaxed when you're with him, so you both can be together forever," Renee remarked, sounding jealous.

"You can't say that." A sigh escaped Leia. 'Of course, we're relaxed when we're not fighting. But when we are, feel like beating him up. I always torture myself because of him, and I'm not confident in the relationship either. I think it's very sweet when you're lovey-dovey with someone, and when you're comfortable with them. But if you fight, all you can feel is pain. Being comfortable doesn't mean that Justin is right for you."

"So?" Renee chuckled helplessly. "Do you want me to give Haze up and go back to being entangled with that man?

"No, I don't mean that!" Leia waved. "I want you to start again, but I don't want to see you date a guy just to get it over with. I hope you choose Justin because of love. That's fairer for the both of you."

"Got it." Renee understood Leia's concems. She hugged Leia and said, "I know what I'm doing."

*Speaking of which, where are you guys going today?" Leia asked with curiosity.

"I'm going to try an escape room with him," Renee answered honestly.

Escape rooms were popular right now, and youngsters loved them. Leia, however, hadn't experienced one yet. "Oh, an escape room. You should have invited me! The more, the merrier. It isn't fun if only the two of you play, and if you get paired with strangers, it'll be boring."Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

*Sure, let's go together, Renee invited enthusiastically.

"Okay, wait. I'll get more people." Leia took out her phone enthusiastically.

Soon, Justin's car arrived at the entrance of Everheart Manor. Renee and Leia hurriedly got into the car.

"Mr. Baldwin, I'm sorry for disturbing your date. I'm sure you won't mind a few third wheels?' Leia asked sweetly as she got into the car.

Justin shrugged. "It's fine. The more, the merrier. You guys can light up my romance with Phoenix!"
