# Chapter 388: A Perfect Helper with a Hidden Name
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 388 of *The Untouchable Ex Wife*. Let me tell you, this chapter is one of those quiet, warm moments before a storm — a beautiful evening, a sincere phone call, and one tiny slip of the tongue that is about to put our dear Renee in the most awkward corner. So grab a cup of something warm, settle in, and let's dive right into the story.
After such a lovely dinner, the world finally felt a little softer to Renee. The meal had been perfect, the company had been surprisingly comfortable, and for the first time in far too long, the weight on her chest didn't feel so crushing. She had spent many days avoiding phone calls, especially with Quinton, using one excuse after another to keep her condition hidden from him. But tonight? Tonight, she felt almost... normal. Relaxed. Strong enough to face his voice without fear. So, with a peaceful heart, Renee picked up her phone and called Quinton.
He answered quickly, though his tone carried an immediate edge of concern. “Renee, why are you calling? Are you in trouble?”
At that moment, Quinton was still south of the sea, putting together manpower and materials to dive for the treasure that had suddenly capsized. Things were not going well. The hunt had been frustrating, the ocean had offered nothing but disappointment, and somewhere in his heart, he kept worrying that Renee, all alone in Beach City, might run into the wrong kind of people. He wanted to go back to her, but he couldn't just yet. So when her name lit up his screen, relief flooded through him — but so did worry, because Renee never called without a reason.
Renee smiled softly and teased him, “You’re so pessimistic, Quinton. Can’t I call because I want to share something happy with you?” She was sitting cross-legged on the bean bag on the top floor, swinging her legs lazily like a carefree girl.
Hearing that, Quinton finally relaxed. A sigh of relief escaped him, and he smiled. “Yes, I can tell that you’re happy. What happened?”
Renee giggled sweetly, a little dreamy, a little excited. “Hmm... How should I put it? I hired a pretty good helper at home. He does everything perfectly, and he cooks well. He doesn’t even ask for high pay, and he works hard without complaints. I feel like I’ve struck the lottery!”
She sounded like a young girl in love, lighthearted and warm. Of course, she couldn’t tell Quinton the truth — she couldn’t say that the helper she was bragging about was actually Stefan, the sworn enemy of the man she was talking to. That would have caused an explosion she wasn’t ready to face.
Quinton, however, was far too intelligent to let such praise pass without notice. “He’s really that good?” he asked, his curiosity sharpening.
“He is!” Renee answered happily, unaware of the trap she was weaving for herself.
“But we’ve got to be careful with helpers,” Quinton said, his voice becoming thoughtful. “They’re the ones taking care of us, after all. Even if their services are cheap, it’ll be troublesome if they have ulterior motives.” His instincts whispered to him that this mysterious helper was far from ordinary. In his experience, nothing good in this world came for free. He couldn't decide whether the sudden appearance of such a perfect helper in Renee's life was a blessing or a hidden disaster.
Renee rolled her eyes, completely unconvinced. “You’re overthinking, Quinton. He’s just a helper. If he does a good job, I’ll keep him. If not, I’ll fire him. He can’t try anything with me.” Her smile was smug, self-assured. She thought Quinton was just being overly cautious, a natural worrywart. After all, what could a helper possibly do to her?
But Quinton wasn't so easily dismissed. “But I’m still worried...” After a brief contemplation, his tone turned serious, firm. “Give your phone to your helper. I’ll speak to him for a bit.”
Renee’s heart nearly stopped. “Umm... I’m not sure that’s a good idea.” Her voice wavered. She was instantly regretting every word of praise she had just showered upon Stefan. If Quinton found out that she had somehow gotten tangled up with Stefan again, he would be furious. And honestly, who could blame him? Stefan was his sworn enemy. Their history was sharp and bitter, full of wounds that had not healed.
Quinton caught the hesitation immediately. His eyes narrowed even though she couldn't see him. “There’s nothing wrong with it if he’s sincere. Plus, I’m just going to talk to him on the phone. What are you afraid of if there’s nothing wrong with him?” His words were gentle, but they were also a trap. He was testing her. Renee’s reluctance only made him more suspicious.
Renee knew she had run out of excuses. There was no way out. She braced herself, took a deep breath, and called Stefan upstairs. “Okay, wait. I’ll call him over and ask him to call you later.”
Oh, the irony of what was about to happen.
Meanwhile, Stefan was in the study, patiently helping the children with their schoolwork. His presence in that household was already delicate enough — a man with a secret identity, playing the role of a perfect, humble helper, all while carrying the weight of a complicated past with the very woman he was serving. When he heard Renee call his name from upstairs, he stood up and hurried toward her, unaware that her phone waited for him on the other end with his greatest enemy on the line.
The moment of truth was coming. What would Stefan say when he heard Quinton's voice? Would Quinton recognize him immediately? Or would secrets be kept a little longer beneath the mask of a lowly helper?
This chapter closes on a delicious edge of suspense, leaving us all holding our breath.

Reader's Impressions & Star Rating: This was a fascinating chapter, full of subtle tension hidden beneath an everyday scene. I loved watching Renee's joy and how easily she slipped into casual happiness after dinner — it felt honest and deeply human. But the real magic was in Quinton's suspicion and Renee's dawning panic. The writing masterfully captured how a few careless words can create a dangerous web. The slice-of-life beginning makes the impending confrontation even more impactful. I thoroughly enjoyed it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
Next Chapter Prediction: I predict that the phone conversation between Quinton and Stefan will be absolutely explosive. Quinton will likely recognize Stefan's voice instantly, or at least sense that something is deeply off. This could trigger Quinton's immediate return to protect Renee, while Stefan is forced to face the consequences of hiding his identity. There's also a chance that Renee's hopes of maintaining peace will violently shatter, pulling all three of them into the very conflict she tried so hard to avoid.
