The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Renee was so embarrassed. She glared at the two kids and said, “That’s enough, you two. No matter how approachable Mr. Q
is, he’s still your elder, so don’t be rude. You can’t boss him around.”
Adie turned around and put on a somber expression. “Mommy, you’re such a hopeless romantic. You haven’t even married him
yet, but you’re already protecting him.”
Renee: “......”
‘Dear Lord, please make a hole appear in the ground so that I can bury myself in it! My son is trying to embarrass me to death!’
“These two kids are very naughty and lack manners. Please don’t take it to heart.”
She glanced at Mr. Q, feeling extremely awkward.
Although she and Mr. Q were no longer strangers, their relationship had not reached this level of intimacy. Moreover, he was her
creditor, so she could not be too impolite to him.
Surprisingly, Mr. Q did not mind at all. He even kind of liked it. He placed his long arm on Renee’s shoulder and asked with a
smile, “It doesn’t matter, a husband should treat his wife well. Who’s causing you problems? Tell me and I’ll take care of them for
you.”
Renee’s smile froze. She lowered her voice and said, “What are you doing? The kids are just fooling around. Don’t go crazy with
them.”
Mr. Q also lowered his voice and said, “Since we’re acting, we should try to make it look as realistic as possible or the children
wouldn’t believe us.”
He added, “What would you like to eat? Your future husband will make it for you.”
Renee was indeed hungry. As if to prove that point, her stomach growled. She did not want to pretend to not be hungry anymore.
She swallowed hard and asked, “Do you know how to make steaks? I suddenly feel like having a steak today.”
“What a coincidence. I happen to have bought some prime sirloin steaks.”
“Prime sirloin steaks?”
Renee’s eyes widened unconsciously. The image of Stefan eating a steak suddenly popped into her head.

‘Who wrote this damn script?! This is too damn big of a coincidence!’
However, knowing that Stefan was enjoying his steak with Seraphina Murphy right now, the thought of eating a steak personally
made by Mr. Q instantly made Renee feel a bit better.
After all, no matter how delicious the food served in a restaurant was, it was not as precious as the food that someone made
specifically for you!
“Abby, Adie, the moon is round and bright today. Didn’t your teacher ask you to moongaze? Why don’t you two go out with
Margaret now to do just that?”
Margaret quickly agreed to take the two children out in order to create a chance for Renee and Mr. Q to spend time alone.
The two children were very smart too. They left the house quickly without giving Renee a chance to catch up.
Therefore, Renee and Mr. Q were left alone in the apartment. The atmosphere became somewhat intimate.
“Well, since they’re not here anymore, we can stop pretending. Let’s act normally.”
Renee moved slightly further away from Mr. Q to open up a distance between them that was appropriate for a man and a woman
who were not lovers.
Mr. Q’s attitude also became slightly more distant. He put away the ingredients while saying, “I know. Don’t misunderstand, I
acted that way with you purely for the sake of making the children happy. I don’t have that kind of intention.”
“Good to know.”
Renee chuckled awkwardly. She might have overthought it.
Mr. Q brought the steaks to the kitchen to clean them. He then asked Renee, “Can you give me a hand?”
