The Untouchable Ex-Wife

, Renee's words made Jamie feel even more guilty, and he subtly wiped off the sweat on his forehead.
"Umm..." A sigh escaped Jamie as he decided to come clean, unable to see his childhood friend heartbroken like this.
"Well, it's not what you think.
My manor..." "Do you have wine? I want to have some wine!" Renee suddenly interrupted him, no longer interested in Jamie's
answer.
She wasn't an alcoholic, but she couldn't stop drinking once she started.
She would lose control of her emotions and do crazy things once she had some wine.
When she was drunk, she would let her thoughts and actions run wild, and she knew she would feel more at ease in that state.
Since she had let herself go, she might as well have more wine and get crazier so she could forget about everything once she
woke up.
At least, she didn't have to worry too much about things then.
"Wine?" Jamie's body relaxed when Renee stopped asking about the owner of the manor.
He knew himself well—if Renee kept on asking, he might just confess the truth to her.
He actually hadn't been staying there, but he recently got a text from Stefan saying he wanted to purchase that manor to stay
there long-term, but they didn't need to transfer the ownership.
In short, the manor was still owned by Jamie's parents in writing, but the actual owner was Stefan.
It was a risky business deal, and Stefan had only one request —that they don't tell anyone he was staying there.
Jamie had returned to clean up the things his family had left in the manor, but he suddenly got a call from Stefan that day
requesting him to immediately move into the manor.
Although he didn't know what Stefan's reasons were, he was too timid to ask about it, and just obediently moved into the manor.
Then, he bumped into Renee, who had gotten drunk in the middle of the night and climbed up a tree to try and enter the manor.

Jamie was no fool—he had read online about Stefan and Renee's entanglement, so he quickly realized what was going on here.
The whole affair had confused him, but he also felt sorry for them and what they had faced.
"I've got a lot of whiskey here.
Are you sure you want to have some?" Jamie raised his brows and said with interest, "If you do, I'll get you some.
You can tell me all about your problems." He did like a bit of gossip now and then, and he was hoping it could give him more
insight about Renee and Stefan's relationship.
"Stop talking and go get it already.
I want a drink!" Renee yelled excitedly as she flopped down onto the sofa roughly.
Before this, she didn't know why some people became alcoholics, but at this moment, she knew how they felt...
It was the feeling of wanting to drown your sorrows.
Jamie soon returned with the alcohol.
It was the strongest whiskey from his hometown, and when he unscrewed the cap, the strong scent of alcohol engulfed the living
room.
Renee acted like an addict and immediately snatched the bottle of whiskey, throwing her head back and gulping it down.
After a while, Jamie asked tentatively, "Little girl, I'm curious about your situation with Mr.
Hunt.
Do you both love each other? You..." He was eager to learn more about their relationship, but when he turned back to Renee,
the words just died in his throat.
