The emotions Xavier felt were equally intense as those of Stefan!

"Huh. Is that all?" Xavier flipped through the notebook and began complaining loudly while thumping his chest. "It's getting to the fun part. Why did it stop here? Who is the author? We should have that person whipped in public!"

Stefan subconsciously moved a little further away for fear that Xavier might accidentally hit him.

Xavier read the novel multiple times before he realized something. "Stefan, are the male and female leads actually you and your wife?"

Stefan rolled his eyes at Xavier. "Who else could they be?"

"Did she write this? Are the things she wrote all true?"

"Half of it?!" Stefan replied.

"Although not all details were accurate, her description of how they treated each other in the novel was nearly identical to how their marriage went in real life.

Xavier seemed shocked. He held the notebook as if he was holding a precious treasure. "I never knew your wife was this good a writing! I was close to tears when I read it."

Stefan raised his brows as if he was the one receiving the compliment. "I told you. She's an academic genius. She's good in both art and science."

"Amazing! I'm impressed!"

Xavier sighed. "Stefan, you shouldn't have gotten divorced. Letting your wife go is like dangling a juicy piece of steak in front of hungry wolves. Many men out there are lining up for her!"

Stefan sneered. "Not everyone can tame her. Do you think she's an easy target?"

"From the sound of it, you're willing to let her go if another man does manage to tame her?"

Stefan shrugged nonchalantly. "Why not?"

"What if I'm that man?" Xavier asked half-jokingly with a smile.

"Are you being serious?" Stefan's eyes narrowed as he looked at Xavier. "I don't remember you ever saying she's your type."

"Why wouldn't she be? I've always liked the cool and studious type of girl. Ever since you divorced, I realized that she's my ideal type. In fact... She saved my life once. I can only repay her kindness by devoting myself to her!"

Stefan pursed his lips. His already cold expression turned even gloomier.

"Stefan, just tell me if you're okay with it. If you are, I'll go all out. If you still have feelings for her or are preparing to get back together, I'll stop right here. I'll tell myself to forget about my feelings for her!"

Xavier had a serious look on his face. It didn't look like he was joking at all.

He knew that he wasn't supposed to sleep with his friend's ex-wife, but if Stefan had already moved on, there was no harm in doing so, was there?

Stefan wore a long face. Clearly, he looked like he was about to kill Xavier, but he still pretended to be indifferent. "If you want to go after her, go ahead. You have my blessings."

"You said it. I'm going to record it!" Xavier quickly retrieved his phone and urged Stefan to repeat what he said.

Stefan smacked his phone away. "Are you done messing around? Do you think this is funny?"

Xavier stopped laughing. He had never looked more serious. "I told you. I'm serious."

The two had been friends for many years, and they'd never had a big argument like this. Xavier had always looked up to Stefan as his role model.

However, this time, neither was willing to back off. There was palpable tension in the air...
