The Untouchable Ex-Wife

“She’s not ideal, but she’s the best person available!”

Francine could not help but sigh. “You’re almost thirty, but you’ve never socialized with that many women. Briar is too much of a hypocrite, while Cecilia’s relationship with your good friend is complicated. After thinking about it long and hard, there’s no better candidate than Renee Everheart. There’s no problem with her except for her family background.”

“But more importantly, I heard she’s quite capable. She quietly started a company, became the president of the Electronic Technology Association, manages a law firm well and even stole the biggest customers of H Group… She’s not the pretty but useless woman that I thought she was. I’ve always had an appreciation for capable women. This new her is perfectly qualified to be your wife!”

Stefan had rarely heard his picky mother speak so highly of anyone, let alone Renee. He was glad to hear it.

After all, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in- law was a problem that had existed since the dawn of humanity. If this problem could be solved, then maybe Renee and him could really start over?

The abrupt thought startled Stefan.

“Mom, you’re thinking too much. It’s no longer a question of whether she’s qualified to be my wife, it’s a question of whether she wants to,” he replied flatly.

“She wouldn’t want to?”

Francine frowned. Then, her usual haughty expression crept back onto her face. “It’s just an act. She’s just playing hard to get. Do you know how many women would give up everything to marry into the Hunt family? How could she not want to? If she didn’t, she wouldn’t have stayed in the Hunt family for four years despite everything.”

Stefan poured cold water on her plan, “If being Mrs. Hunt really meant that much to her, why did she agree to the divorce that easily? Why was she so eager to get through the divorce procedure as quickly as possible?”

“That’s…”

Francine pondered over what her son just said and found that it made sense.

Besides, thinking back on what transpired earlier, his son was the one trying to seduce her. Renee Everheart looked like she had no interest and was shunning him.

If she was just playing hard to get, she was trying way too hard.

“Tsktsk. Sigh!”

Francine examined Stefan from head to foot with a sad expression, sighing as she looked.

Stefan was speechless.

“Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it.”

But Francine did not say anything. First, she took a good look at Stefan’s handsome and perfect face. Then, she pinched the muscles on Stefan’s arms and abdomen. She was puzzled. “This doesn’t make sense. You’re still as handsome as before, and you have even more muscles now. Why isn’t she obsessed with you anymore?”

Stefan:

“How about this, son…”

Francine said seriously, “Try changing how you dress. Don’t just wear button-up shirts and suits every day. You look too serious. I heard women over the age of 25 don’t like men with a serious personality. They prefer the warm and approachable type…”

“Isn’t Renee about to turn 25? She may be a bit tired of your aesthetics. Try dressing in a fresher way to rekindle her fascination with you!”

Stefan:

He really wanted to say, “Thanks but no thanks, Mom.”

Who could have imagined that the day would come when his mother, who absolutely despised Renee and used to ask him to divorce Renee every day, would seriously try to teach him how to win Renee back?!

“Not only do you have to change the way you dress, you have to change your personality too. You can’t be as cold as before. You have to take the initiative, be enthusiastic, and chat with her whenever you’re free…”

Francine said, already beginning to feel a sense of crisis, “Actually, that harbinger of tragedy has quite the charisma. I heard a lot of young men from prestigious families already have their eyes on her, especially the young man from the Osborne family who’s supposedly very close to her. If you don’t act soon, it might be too late!”

Francine did not notice before that Renee was actually this popular.

Renee had only just gotten a divorce but her pursuers were already lining up. The pursuers were some fine young men too!

Francine was really reluctant to let such a good daughter-in-law go. She must have been blind before not to see Renee’s worth. Hopefully, if Stefan worked hard now, he could still get her back!
