“Huh?”
Xavier looked at the pretty lady leaning on him with a dismayed face, feeling complicated. Not only he was
confused, he even felt like laughing.
‘What relationship?’
If he remembered correctly, the last time they met was at a banquet; they nearly got into a fight over the question
of whether Stefan and Renee should reconcile. The scratch on his arm had just started forming a scab.
If that was the ‘relationship’ she was talking about, it would certainly be unusual!
“Don’t just stand here, darling. Say something, don’t make me look like a third wheel…”
Leia acted as if she was a bystander. She exaggerated her actions and pinched the man’s arm quietly.
Her first thought was… ‘Wow, this guy’s muscles feel really hard!’

expression, said, “Yeah, say something, Xavier. I can accept whatever your relationship with her is. Just don’t…
don’t make me look like the third wheel.”
“Hmm, you can accept anything?”
The woman’s words pricked his heart like a thin needle.
He gave Shirley his heart and cherished her carefully for the past four years and pleased her in all sorts of ways like
a puppy.
But in the end, their relationship remained one stage above friendship and one below courtship.
She could address him by his name. She would hold his hand and lean on his shoulder. In their most intimate
moments, they would even kiss. Yet she was just reluctant to confirm their relationship.
After pursuing her for four years, he was tired and had had enough. He refused to let his feelings consume him any
further.
“As you can see, Leia and I are a couple. If everything goes well, we will get married at the end of the year. We’ll
invite you to our wedding,” Xavier said nonchalantly with a smile.
Leia was dumbfounded and turned to look at the man in disbelief.
‘What did he mean? Why is he more willing to go all out than me?’
Her intention was just to avenge her loss at the party, but he actually took the cue and made a greater scene out of
it.
Shirley’s face turned paler, and her lips were trembling. She forced a smile and said, “Stop joking, Xavier. You don’t
look like a couple at all. If this is your idea of revenge, then I think it’s simply childish. I won’t believe it, nor will I be
angry with you. I’ll just… pity you.”
Leia hated pretentious people the most. She only intended to watch the drama at first but could not help but refute,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Miss White, I cannot agree with you. My darling and I are not only a lovely couple, but our families are very
compatible. Why do we not look like lovers?”
“Excuse me, miss. My words might have hurt you, but Xavier and I have been together for more than four years.
No one knows him better than I…”
Shirley sized Leia up from top to bottom when she said that and suggested, “You are not Xavier’s type.”
“What the hell?”
Leia lowered her head and looked at her flat chest, then at Shirley’s curvy body, and pouted subconsciously. “So
what if you and Xavier have known each other for four years? I am his childhood friend. What type of girls does he
like? What you say doesn’t count. He has the right to say it himself! Xavier, tell her honestly about what type of girl
you like. I don’t want to see her getting hurt…”
Men normally couldn’t resist Shirley’s loving almond-shaped eyes.
Xavier looked at Shirley, then at Leia. Although they were about the same age, they were two completely different
girls.
