The Untouchable Ex-Wife

“You don’t have to explain yourself!”

Xavier turned his back to the woman and said in an eerily cold voice, “There is nothing to say about me and you. You know best how I have treated you for so many years. I have nothing to feel guilty about.”

“Of course, I do. You are the nicest person to me, and also the only one. You only wanted to be good to me and never asked for anything in return. Because of this, I feel miserable. I hurt you, so I want to make up…”

“If you want to make up for it, get lost from my world. I don’t want to see you anymore!”

Xavier tensed his face and tried to harden his heart.

He tried to break away from Shirley’s restraints, but she held on desperately and refused to let go. With her face firmly planted against the man’s leg, she cried, “I was wrong, I was really wrong. I didn’t know until now how good a person I had hurt. Will you give me another chance? I know you still love me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have saved me…”
