The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1609

Chapter 1609Chapter 1609
Xavier looked down at Shirley's hand and said icily, "I thought I made myself very clear. It's best not to
have anything between US except business." "Why are you being so cruel? You came to me today, and
it's proof that there's more between US. You care about me, so why do we have to go against our
hearts and hurt each other?" "That's you, not me." "Don't be stubborn. I know that you hooked up with
Ms. Osborne lately out of spite, but you should know that I no longer have anything to do with your
father. I—’ "Don't bring my father up!" Xavier instantly turned hostile and pushed Shirley away. "Are you
mad? Do you think I'll let bygones be bygones and go back to you? Do you think I have no self-
respect?" "Xavier, don't... don't be mad!" Shirley bit her lip, regretting mentioning Xavier's father. It was
novelbinhis sore spot and biggest humiliation, and she could understand why. She figured he wouldn't be
bothered by it if he didn't love her deeply, and his reaction only confirmed this. Emboldened by this
thought, she dropped to her knees and started crying pitifully. Her face turned red because of the biting
wind. "I know that I've wronged you, Xavier, but no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, and I was
insecure back then. My popularity had dropped, and I was worried about letting you down and thought
that I wasn't good enough for you... which was why I did what I did. You're the only one I care about
and you know it! Can you please forgive me and give me another chance?" "What are you doing? Get
up!" For a moment, Xavier didn't know what to do. Shirley was a public figure and the top actress, but
she was kneeling in public and begging him. Many passers-by had gathered around them to record the
scene with their phones, and Xavier knew that this incident would make the headlines tomorrow. If
Xavier ignored Shirley now, she would have it worse, and Universal Entertainment might get affected
too. Hence, he had no choice but to put on a show even though he wanted to leave.
"I know you’ve suffered a lot, especially since there's so much bad news circulating about you now. It's
normal to break down like this, so dust yourself off and get up. You acted in so many good movies, and
I'm sure people will like you as long as you're good at acting." Xavier walked over and tried to help
Shirley up, saying those things specifically for the onlookers. Even if this incident made the headlinestomorrow, people would think that Shirley's actions were merely due to career pressure and nothing
like the vulgar scandals people had been talking about.
However, Shirley refused to give in and screamed hysterically, "No, I don't care if others like me-l just
want you to like me. I entered the entertainment world because of you back then, and I'm actually not
really interested in acting. I don't mind retiring from the entertainment industry as long as I can be with
you..." Shirley refused to get up. She hugged Xavier's thigh and cried desperately.
