The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

At night, Renee headed back to her apartment with the Rainbow Glaze. The place was rather lively, with Mr. Q playing with the
children. There was even a hearty dinner left on the dining table just for her.
“What brings you here?” Renee asked casually as she closed the door. Compared to before, she was no longer against being
around this man. Sometimes, she would even feel relieved to find him in her house when she returned.
“Didn’t I tell you? I’m now your husband and the father of your two children, so I’m obligated to take care of you. It’s my
responsibility to make sure you come back to a warm meal, and to keep the kids company,” Mr. Q explained as he continued
playing ‘red light, green light’ with the children.
He didn’t sound like he was joking at all, and seemed to be truly genuine in everything he said.
“Yeah, Mommy! We’re a family, so of course we’re living together. Let me tell you a secret... Daddy Q picked us up from school
today! Our classmates were so jealous that we had a tall and strong daddy!” Abby proudly exclaimed as she wrapped her arms
around Mr. Q’s leg.
It was clear that the man had already won over Abby. If this went on, Renee felt like the little one would prefer Mr. Q over her
own mother.
The woman smiled awkwardly and didn’t respond. She knew that this was just a facade, and Mr. Q had better acting skills than
her. He was the perfect husband and father, with absolutely no flaws in his act. On the contrary, she was being dismissive the
whole time, which meant that the twins would soon catch on that this was all fake.
“It’s getting late, so you two should go to bed now – only then will you have the energy for school tomorrow.” Renee turned to the
children, who were still happily playing. She had some things to discuss with Mr. Q in private.
Aiden was smart, and nodded obediently. “Abby, we should go to sleep now, and let Daddy Q and Mommy get to spend some
time together.”
Renee felt slightly awkward when she heard that, and she brushed her hair to the side of her face stiffly. ‘Tsk tsk, sometimes it
can really be a headache to have such smart children.’
Margeret then took the children to bed, leaving Renee and Mr. Q in the living room. The man was sitting on the couch in a
relaxed position, his legs crossed. Anyone looking at him would have thought that this was actually his home.
“So, what would you like to ask?” He asked with a fake smile, as if he could see right through Renee.

“You’re a smart guy, so I do have something to ask you.” Renee didn’t stall any longer and placed the box containing the
Rainbow Glaze onto the coffee table. She was straightforward with him.
“I got the Rainbow Glaze, but I’d like to know what exactly is so special about it, and why it’s so special to Stefan Hunt and his
family. Why did the two of you fight so much over it?”
“He actually gave you such a precious relic...” Mr. Q gave a complicated smile, putting a thumb up. “Looks like you’re still very
important to him. To think he’d give you something that he needed to survive. Even though I’m his rival, I can’t help but feel
impressed by his love and dedication for you.”
“Needed to survive?” Renee asked slowly.
“Don’t you know? The Rainbow Glaze is made of a rare material, and using it with any liquid can generate a cure to all illnesses.
And it’s not just some silly myth...”
Mr. Q smiled at her bitterly. “Back when Stefan Hunt and his brother, Tristan Hunt, encountered an assassination, Stefan Hunt
was left with a hidden ailment. He needed to use the Rainbow Glaze periodically to stabilize his condition. That’s why the Hunt
family used up almost all their resources just to obtain the relic, and managed to win against Carmine Pawnshop. That was how
he defeated me.”
