Hello everyone, it’s me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 610 of *The Untouchable Ex Wife*.

Join me as we follow Leia through a moonlit escape and a chance that nearly slipped away.

Leia slipped quietly out the side door of the cottage, her heart still racing from the conversation she had just left behind. Instead of taking the direct path to the barbecue, she deliberately meandered around the beach, letting the cool ocean breeze soothe her tangled emotions. The soft crunch of sand beneath her feet felt like a comfort blanket, but she knew she couldn't avoid the gathering forever.
When she finally made her way to the outdoor barbecue area, her arrival was met with delighted cheers.
“Leia, there you are! Finally! We’ve been waiting forever,” Luna called out, beaming. The two women had grown close since discoverng they were neighbors, and Luna always had a way of making Leia feel welcome.
Leia offered an awkward but apologetic smile. “Haha, yeah, I figured if I didn’t show up, everyone would think I was too pretentious to hang out with you all.” She rubbed the back of her neck, still carrying a whisper of guilt.
“Well, more the merrier, right? And lucky for you, Mr. Dalton has been roasting chicken wings for you all night—he remembered how much you love them,” Megan chimed in, a hint of playful jealousy lacing her words as she gestured toward the grill. Rows of wings sizzled over the flames, each batch coated with different glazes. “There’s New Orleans sauce, honey sauce, salt and pepper, and nearly everything else you can think of. Honestly, if only someone could be so thoughtful for me!”
Leia’s gaze drifted to Santiago in absent surprise, and her chest tightened with gratitude—and guilt. He was standing by the fire, expertly flipping the wings, his brow slightly creased with concentration. Without a second thought, she walked over and picked up a basting brush, positioning herself in front of him.
“Mr. Dalton, you shouldn’t have worked so hard for me… really, I should be the one roasting the wings for *you*,” she said, leaning in to brush extra sauce onto the sizzling pieces.
“Be careful!” Santiago’s sharp voice cut through the air. He noticed her leaning too close to the open flames, and in a quick, protective motion, he stepped in front of her—just as several sparks jumped from the fire and landed on the back of his hand.
Leia flinched at the sight, horrified as she stared at the reddening skin. “Ah!” Megan let out a pained gasp. “Mr. Dalton, are you okay? You absolutely can’t afford to have scars on your hands. It would affect your modeling career!”
Santiago looked down at his burn, winced, though more in faint irritation than true pain, then gave a small smile. “It’s fine. I’ll just wash it off,” he said and began walking toward a nearby sink.
Leia trailed behind him, looking like a schoolgirl who just broken a vase. Her voice was tiny when she whispered, “Mr. Dalton… are… are you mad at me?”
Santiago turned on the tap, letting cold water run over the back of his hand. He turned toward her with a strange, gentle smile. “I want to be mad at you,” he admitted lightly, “but I can’t. And, honestly, I don’t have the right to be, either.”
Leia’s heart skipped a beat. She lowered her gaze, hesitating as her lips moved, “So you… know exactly what happened just now?”
At that, Santiago turned completely to face her, his clear gaze locking onto hers with quiet scrutiny. “What is it that you think I know?”
She instantly became flustered, dropping her eyes again. “No, it’s… it’s nothing.” The heat rushed to her cheeks, ashamed to meet that honest stare.
A knowing silence hung between them for a moment. Santiago’s features eased, turning soft and melancholic. “I was imagining you were doing some stargazing on the beach just now. In fact, I wanted to invite you for a walk along the shoreline…” He gave a sad, quiet sigh. “But it seems I was too late.”
“No,” Leia broke in, before she even thought. Looking up at the brilliant night sky, she spoke with a newfound spark of excitement, “You’re not too late at all! Look—all the stars are out now. We can enjoy the view together, if you want to.”
Santiago’s eyes glittered brighter than any celestial body above them. “Really?” he asked, as if not daring to believe her earnest offer.
Leia smiled—that same shy yet genuine smile that always seemed to disarm him entirely—and stretched out her hand to him. “Yes, let’s go right now.”
In her mind, Santiago was once someone like a distant star—an unreachable shimmer, she could dream about but never touch. Yet having spent time beside him, she found that up close, he was far more enchanting than she had ever imagined. Perhaps some stars were within reach after all.

**Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh, my heart! This chapter is such an emotionally nuanced mix of sweetness and melancholy. I absolutely love the chemistry between Leia and Santiago. There’s a beautiful tension in her guilt, his quiet knowing, and the fragility of their connection. The scene with the burning sparks was wonderfully symbolic—an accidental hurt that leads to an honest, almost vulnerable conversation. And that final invitation to walk under the stars felt like a soft beacon of hope. You can’t help but root for them. I also appreciate the little slice-of-life detail with Luna and Megan—it grounds the story and makes the world feel alive. That said, there’s an undercurrent of unresolved drama pulling at Leia’s mind, and that makes this chapter both wistful and intriguing.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Now that Leia and Santiago have finally slipped away to the beach together, I suspect their starlit walk will not be as peaceful as it seems. Beneath the surface, painful truths and past secrets are about to ripple through the calm tide. Will Santiago finally confess the depth of his feelings, or will Leia’s lingering ties to her past pull her away just when she is about to let someone new into her heart? And with Em still lurking nearby, not every loving gaze may go unobserved...
