The Untouchable Ex-Wife



Chapter 2249

Sophia hurriedly asked Renee.

"Uh..." Renee flexed her fingers; she couldn't bring herself to lie.

She wondered if she loved Justin. She couldn't tell.

A large part of her reason for choosing Justin was because she didn't hate him. Sometimes, she felt that he was her soulmate. If she had to start a new romance, she hoped it would be with him. At least, she could be intimate with him and could imagine sleeping in the same bed with him.

"I got it. You don't love him." Sophia saw through Renee at a glance. A long sigh escaped her. "We're all sports of fate. If we insisted on him marrying you when your family was ruined, the ending might be different."

"Did you guys know me at that time?" Renee asked curiously.

She had heard Justin mention that before, but she assumed that he had purposely talked nonsense to set up a good image. Since Sophia had admitted, it seemned to be the truth.

"Of course!" Sophia smiled and added, "Your family was prosperous at that time and was famous at North City too. Plus, Justin's grandpa was close to yours. When he learned about your family's calamity, he wanted to help immediately. He even wanted to make Justin marry you.

"Unfortunately, even though everything was prepared, Justin refused. He claimed that he loved someone else and would marry no one else. He left a letter behind and went missing. Dad was furious and nearly made a big scene. He had to watch you marry Stefan..."

Renee stayed calm as she listened to Sophia's description, as if it had all happened in the last century. She smiled helplessly. "I didn't expect Justin to be telling the truth. It seems like my relationship with him started earlier than with my ex-husband."

"Yeah, he told me later on that the one he loved very much happened to be you. He just wanted to marry you. Oh, he got so frustrated because of it. He was such a fool!"noveldrama

Sophia found it a pity.

She added melancholically, "If he agreed to marry you at that time, you'd be very happy, given my family's relationship with yours. I know you didn't lead a very happy life after you married Stefan. He even cheated on you."

"That happened a long time ago. Let's not talk about that." Renee felt awkward to hear the outsiders thinking her marriage was a catastrophe. It was an embarrassing history for her.

It wasn't that she resented the Hunt family. On the contrary, she was grateful for the days she spent with them. She got to experience having a home and being loved by Stefan. Regardless of how nasty her ending with Stefan was, she didn't want others to trample on his sincerity.

"I'm sorry." Sophia found her words impudent. "Everyone has a past. Regardless if it was good or bad, it's your past. I shouldn't have commented on it so callously. I hope your life will be wonderful from now on."

"Thank you." Renee took a deep breath as if she had made up her mind. "I'll work hard toward a wonderful future with Justin."

"I'm glad to hear that." Sophia threw some fish flakes into the pond again and added absent -mindedly, "If I were you, I'd stop getting in touch with the Hunt family. If you knew the inside story, you wouldn't forgive them!"
