The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 1306

"You're threatening me?" Xavier disliked being threatened the most, and could see through her schemes. "What do you take me for? Am I some kind of item offered to make peace?"

"Did I?" Shirley smiled bitterly, looking very self-deprecating. "I just want to be your friend, but you're saying I threatened you. Do you want us to hate each other forever? Will that make you happy?"

Xavier was at a loss for words. He wasn't happy about it, but it seemed like she just wanted them to be friends again. There would be no reason to plot against him just for that. "Fine, I can make peace with you and be your friend from now on. I hope you can keep your promise though; this thing ends here. Don't let it become worse."

"Okay, you have my word." Shirley nodded and spread her arms out. "Can we hug each other as friends?"

"Isn't that unnecessary?" Xavier frowned, instantly cautious.

"It's just a hug between friends, there's no harm in it. What's more, I nearly died just now. Can't you console me as a friend?" Shirley's lip quivered and tears rolled down her cheeks. "Back when I had been kicked by a horse during a horse-riding scene, you felt so sorry for me that you caught a flight overnight and rushed back to stay with me. You even ordered that a substitute had to take my place if ever I had any action scenes again... But now, I nearly died from a fall now, and you didn't even want to hug me."
