The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 654
The worst part was Stefan's reaction.
He didn’t even acknowledge Renee when he walked past her. It was as if she wasn't even there.
Things felt so awkward that Xavier nearly wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
"Renee, don't get mad. You know how proud Stefan is. He's probably upset because you disrespected him earlier. That's why..."
Xavier trailed off.
"It doesn't matter." Renee shrugged. She looked at Stefan and Seraphine while they walked away. "Didn’t I tell you that I no
longer want to have anything to do with him? Why would I get mad?"
"Are you really not upset at all?" Xavier cocked his head. He stared at Renee's face and teased her playfully. "Why does your
facial expression seem so different?"
Renee remained silent.
To be honest, Xavier wasn't making things up.
She really did get upset for a moment, but it wasn't because of Stefan. Instead, it was Seraphina's doing.
This woman was so pretentious. She might seem like a tomboy-like girl who got along with Stefan as a friend, but she actually
had ulterior motives. They had only met for the first time, and she already tried to provoke Renee.
Renee was especially pissed by how she behaved like a victor when she and Stefan walked past.
"Does Seraphina like Stefan?" Renee asked. She stared at Seraphina and Stefan, who stood close to each other.
"Huh? Seraphina and Stefan?" Xavier responded as if he’d heard the biggest joke of all time. He directly burst into laughter.
"That's impossible. They're like brothers. Stefan doesn't even see her as a woman. She probably doesn't like men either. If they
were to have feelings for each other, they'd have gotten together long ago. You wouldn't have stood a chance..."
Renee shook her head. "You don't understand women. This is the most sophisticated kind of trick."

"Come on, Renee. Don't over-complicate things with Seraphina. She's practically a single-cell organism. She doesn't have that
kind of motive, and she wouldn't fight with you over Stefan. Otherwise, she wouldn't even be friends with us."
Xavier repeatedly highlighted that Renee was overthinking. He believed she was only thinking that way because of her internal
bias.
Renee could tell that Seraphina was regarded very highly in the group. Clearly, Seraphina was good at managing relationships.
Xavier suddenly realized something. "Oh! I know why you're hostile toward Seraphina!"
"Why?”
"Because you're jealous!" Xavier pointed at Renee and began to chuckle." You think of Seraphina as your romantic rival. You're
afraid she would steal Stefan from you, aren't you?"

Renee was speechless.
"That means you still haven't completely moved on. You're concerned about members of the opposite gender being around him.
Clearly, you're still in love with him... Tsk, tsk. You don't say what you mean, just like Stefan! You're made for each other!"
Renee rolled her eyes. "First of all, I'm not hostile toward Seraphina. She's the one who was hostile toward me. Second of all, I'm
not jealous. Stefan can no longer influence my emotions."
"Yes, yes, that's right. You're not jealous. You no longer have feelings for him, and you don’t care who he hugs..." Xavier
suddenly grabbed Renee by her shoulder and began whispering affectionately in her ear. "Do you want to find out if Stefan still
has feelings for you? Do you wonder if he'd get jealous over you?"
