The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 1305

When Shirley saw Xavier's pained expression, she hung her head guiltily. "I'm sorry. I didn't expect that affair to hurt you that much..."

"You didn't expect it?" Xavier scoffed, feeling like he had just heard the world's funniest joke. He said sarcastically, "You were the woman I adored but you seduced my father for the sake of resources. How could you say that you didn't expect it to hurt me?" It had happened long ago, and he had kept it buried deep in his heart. Now, that pain had resurfaced again. The incident had traumatized him so much that he lost all faith in relationships, and didn't believe in pure love anymore.

"You were the first person I gave my heart to. I adored you and doted on you like you were my child. I went against my principles so many times because of you, and the whole of Beach City laughed at me for being a kiss-ass. But I never once regretted it. I felt that you would be touched one day, and that you would sincerely accept me. But in the end... not only was it all not enough for you, you decided to sleep in my father's bed instead. Now you dare to say that I ruined you?"

Xavier's gaze was cold and untrusting as he raised her chin and examined her coldly. "A beautiful face… but such a black heart!"

"No, that's not it. Xavier... Listen to me. It's not what you think," Shirley sobbed, sounding remorseful. "I admit that I did get close to your father for resources, but I only wanted to get stronger so I could be worthy of you. I knew that your family was powerful and influential, and they wouldn't accept a mere celebrity, so I wanted to become a capitalist too. If I made a name for myself, then maybe I could dream of being on your level..."

"So, you slept with my father in order to get me? Points for creativity, I never would have figured that out. I thought I was open-minded, but for some reason, I can't seem to accept a disgusting act like this!"

She was a very smart woman. She knew that it was extremely hard to ask Xavier to accept her again, so she decided to advance slowly and start as friends first.

"Is it really that simple?" Xavier frowned and asked.

"Yes, it's as simple as that. We can be friends." Shirley nodded and added, "You want me to let this thing with Leia go, don't you? If you're willing to forgive me and we go back to how things were, she'll be my friend too. If we're friends, it's normal that we may playfully push and shove each other. Of course, I won't hold her responsible for it."
