# Chapter 275: The Sunflower's Secret
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 275 of "The Untouchable Ex Wife" — a chapter filled with quiet longing, hidden truths, and a fateful collision that neither Leia nor her past could have prepared for.

The hospital room was quiet, but the silence carried no comfort. Melancholy washed over Renee like a slow tide as her gaze drifted to the bouquet of sunflowers resting beside her bed — bright, golden petals that seemed to defy the gray walls around her. She let out a soft sigh, her fingers brushing the delicate stems.
"These flowers are beautiful. Where did you get them?" Leia's voice cut through the stillness, her curious eyes sparkling as she picked one of the sunflowers and brought it to her nose, inhaling the fresh, earthy scent. "I got them from an old friend," Renee answered, her voice tinged with something unspoken.
"An old friend?" Leia tilted her head, a teasing smile curling on her lips. "Who's the person who knows your favorite flower? Do I know them?" Renee's cheeks flushed slightly. She looked down, avoiding Leia's probing gaze, and nodded slowly. "Yes... you know him."
A heavy silence settled over the room. Justin, standing by the window with his arms crossed, narrowed his eyes at the bouquet as if it were an enemy he couldn't identify. A low growl rumbled in his chest. "Do I know him?"
Renee bit her lower lip, her answer measured. "Maybe."
For a tense moment, Justin's jaw tightened. His eyes flickered between the flowers and Renee's guarded expression. Then, unexpectedly, he relaxed. A smug smile tugged at his lips as he nodded to himself. "Oh... so it's not Stefan." He let out a breath, his posture loosening. "It doesn't matter then."
"Why not?" Renee looked genuinely puzzled.
Justin's confidence radiated from him like a shield. "It's because I have nothing to fear if it wasn't from Stefan — even if it's flowers, gold, or cash." His tone was arrogant, self-assured, almost dismissive.
Renee was speechless. She stared at him with a mixture of disbelief and exasperation. Here was a man who believed he had already won the war, completely unaware that his most dangerous rival had been sneaking into her hospital room every single night, bringing her warm meals and spending over an hour at her bedside. If Justin had known the truth — that Stefan had been inches away from him in this very ward, leaving his mark without ever leaving his name — he would have lost his mind. But Justin remained blissfully ignorant, his pride blinding him to the truth that was blooming right under his nose.
"Regardless, I think he's a kind man. His gift is just what Ren likes." Leia declared brightly, her eyes twinkling with mischief. She seemed genuinely happy — thrilled, even — at the thought of another suitor stepping into the picture. The more admirers Renee had, the more entertainment Leia would get watching these powerful men fight for her friend's attention.
But Renee had other concerns. Her expression grew serious as she looked at Leia with a hint of worry. "Stop that. What's going on with you?" She hesitated, choosing her words carefully. "Did... did you get back with that person? Don't let us affect your relationship..."
Leia's cheerful demeanor faltered. She grew nervous, her fingers fiddling with the sunflower stem. "I... I'm not in a relationship with him, so it's fine." She let out a nervous stammer, her cheeks coloring slightly. "I've ended things with that person. And now — now I've got a new target that I'm going to start something with... Just wait and see!" Her voice was filled with forced confidence, but beneath it, there was an unmistakable vulnerability.
Renee studied her friend carefully, reading between the lines. "Okay, I'll wait for your good news." She had learned long ago not to push Leia too hard. If there was something to tell, Leia would come to her the moment she was ready. If she stayed silent, it meant whatever was brewing in her heart hadn't yet taken solid shape.
With the conversation concluded, Leia walked out of Renee's ward, twirling the sunflower between her fingers like a trophy. She held it up to her nose, inhaling its fragrance, completely lost in her thoughts. Her mind was elsewhere — so far elsewhere that she didn't notice the figure approaching until she walked straight into him.
*Bang.*
Leia stumbled backward, her eyes snapping up in surprise. Her mouth opened — ready to hurl an apology or an insult, depending on who she found — but the words died in her throat.
There, standing before her with an unsettling calm, was Xavier Stuart.
Her blood ran cold. She quickly wrapped her gown tighter around her body, as if shielding herself from his presence, and glared at him with fire in her eyes. "What are you doing here? Are you stalking me, you pervert? Didn't I tell you that it was over between us?"
Xavier looked at her, his expression gentle and unreadable. A soft smile played at the corner of his lips — a smile that carried too many memories, too much history. "It's been a while, my ex-girlfriend."
Leia's heart stuttered. The words hung in the air like an echo from the past. He hadn't come looking for her, she realized — he had simply bumped into her by chance. But fate, it seemed, had its own plans. Their eyes met, and despite everything, despite the walls she'd built, something stirred deep within both of them.
The spark between them was far from extinguished.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter is a beautiful study in irony and hidden emotions. Justin's arrogant dismissal of Stefan as a "non-threat" is almost tragicomic — the reader knows that Stefan has been more present in Renee's life than Justin could ever imagine. The subtle tension between what characters know and what they choose to reveal makes every conversation feel layered and meaningful.
The Leia and Xavier reunion was the unexpected gem of this chapter. Their electric confrontation — her defensive anger, his calm tenderness — reveals a history steeped in unspoken feelings. The phrase "It's been a while, my ex-girlfriend" carries so much weight, hinting at unresolved emotions that neither of them seems ready to fully confront.
I also appreciated the quieter moment of Renee and Leia's friendship. Renee's gentle prying into Leia's love life, and Leia's nervous deflections, show a bond that runs deeper than casual friendship. There's genuine care there, and it warms the heart to see them watching out for each other.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stars

## Next Chapter Prediction
With Leia and Xavier colliding right outside Renee's hospital room, the air between them is charged with unresolved tension and old flames. Xavier's unexpected arrival — claiming he was there to see someone else — will likely spark a confrontation or a deeply emotional conversation between the two ex-lovers. Meanwhile, Stefan's nightly visits to Renee remain a ticking time bomb. If Justin ever discovers the truth, the fragile peace he's currently enjoying will shatter in an instant. Could Xavier's appearance somehow lead to revelations about Stefan's secret visits? And will Leia's new "target" turn out to be someone other than Xavier — or will her heart betray her resolve the moment she's alone with her ex?
