Chapter: 1284

After the call ended, Xavier and Leia returned from playing in the sea, laughing as they carried Adie and Abby.

�Mommy, look � Uncle Stuart took us to a treasure cove today! We caught a lot of fish and colourful starfish! Aren�t they beautiful?� Abby was carrying a small bucket, her round face flushed like a red apple.

�Look, Mommy! It�s a colourful starfish! Isn�t it beautiful?� The little girl took the starfish by its two arms and excitedly showed it to Renee.

�Yeah, it�s so pretty.� Renee forced a smile, looking distracted.

Little Abby put down the colorful starfish and hugged Renee tightly. She looked up and asked worriedly,

�Mommy, what�s wrong? Are you unhappy? Did someone hurt you?�

�No. I�m happy. You�re amazing, Abby. Did you collect many good things?� Renee tried her best to keep her spirits up and share her children�s joy. Unfortunately, her depression was like a dark cloud in the sky, it was so obvious that Adie, Xavier, and Leia felt it too.

�Ren, what�s wrong?� Leia put down the bucket full of fish and took Renee�s hand. She asked worriedly, �Is it him again? Did he profess his love to another person? Give me your phone. I�ll call and scold him!�

Not long ago, Stefan officially announced that Seraphina was his current girlfriend. Even though the group had been on the isolated Sun Island, they heard the news right away. One could only imagine Renee�s tremendous disappointment and pain.

If Xavier had not stopped Leia, she would have returned to Beach City and beat the crap out of Stefan!

�It�s not him. I�m fine. I�m happy here.� Renee forced a grin, but it looked worse than her crying.

�Why are you still so stubborn? It must be him! Don�t try to protect him. That jerk has hurt you over and over again. He�s nothing but a bully!� Leia got even angrier after saying that. She grabbed Renee�s phone, ready to teach Stefan a lesson.

Xavier felt bad for Stefan and said weakly, �He probably has his reasons. Stefan is a loyal man, he won�t change his mind for no reason.�

�Oh, do men need a reason to change their hearts? He probably got tired of the relationship. Maybe he�s bored of an independent woman like Renee, so he�s trying to flatter someone else. Didn�t you see the official announcement video? Did someone point a gun at him and force him to show his love for her?� Leia demanded.

�Uhm, well, about that�� Xavier looked away.

�Well? Am I wrong? The facts are clear. Stefan is just a huge jerk who has been cheating on Renee repeatedly. I say he should be punished and humiliated for what he�s done!�

Unable to handle Leia�s wrath, Xavier raised his hands in surrender and backed off. �You�re right. I�m sorry.�

Xavier and Leia had always been at odds, but they got along better after taking care of Adie and Abby together. Sometimes, they understood each other like they knew each other for years, but they would quickly fight and argue whenever Stefan was involved.

�Are you really sorry? Go on then, give him a call.� Leia handed the phone to Xavier, her eyes narrowed. �He�s your good friend, isn�t he? Give him a good scolding and show me your loyalty.�

�Are you sure? Isn�t it inappropriate?� Xavier wanted to bury a hole in the sand and disappear. He added softly, �Besides, I haven�t been able to reach his phone. I don�t know where he�s gone.� JrNovels.com
