Chapter: 1290
Soon, they arrived at the Carmine Pawnshop. Quinton announced that he would personally cook for them, and Xavier acted like a loyal follower as he said, �Brother, I�ll go with you. Please teach me how to cook.�
So, the two men talked in the kitchen again. They were like long-lost brothers, and their excitement was very peculiar.
Renee and Leia sat on the sofa near the table with a bunch of fruits and snacks. The children were running around in the courtyard, casually playing with priceless antiques with a panicked Chase running after them.
�Ah, please be careful with that, Master Adie. That is not an ordinary soccer ball but one used by royalty in ancient times. It�s made of pure gold and ancient jade and is very very expensive, so please don�t break it!�
�Ah, Miss Abby, p-please don�t touch this vase. It�s a high-quality product from an imperial kiln and Mr. Everheart�s favorite��
Leia, like the twins, felt like she had entered a foreign world and found everything very new. �Ren, look at this snuff bottle. I have seen it in a museum before. I remember that the price is estimated to be around fifteen million dollars. How could you treat it like a common ornament? Isn�t it a bit wasteful?�
�This is just my brother�s hobby. There are dozens more in his display case. If you like them, I can ask him to send you a few.�
�My gosh, Ren, you are simply too rich!� Leia pretended to wipe away tears as she complained. �Ren, you�re literally living the perfect life! You were born into a rich family, you�re skilled at practically everything, and are currently the president of KCL. Not only that, your children are pretty and clever, and even your brother who appeared out of nowhere is a magnate. How are common girls like me going to live? Oh, but I forget about the scum from the Hunt family that tainted your life. Anyway, it doesn�t matter. You have cut ties with that pathetic being, so you can live a beautiful life alone in the future��
Renee was amused by Leia�s dramatic monologue. �My dear Miss Leia, aren�t you born into a rich family? Don�t you have a powerful brother? And the most precious thing is that you have a reliable man. I am the one who should envy you.�
�Man?� Leia frowned in confusion. �Where is the man? How come I don�t know about him?�
�Stop acting. Where do you think he will be?� Renee glanced at the kitchen, hugged Leia, and said teasingly, �Tell me honestly. How far have you and Xavier gone? When will you get married?�
�What? Stop talking nonsense!� Leia blushed immediately like a shy young girl. �I only worked with him to take care of the kids. We are not from the same world, and we�re not even friends.�
�Why does he address himself as your darling then?� Renee smirked.
�He�s always been like this, flirting with all women he encounters. He�s simply a playboy addicted to sex!� Leia recalled the recent days they spent together and inexplicably felt annoyed. Truthfully, he had not said or done anything. It was she who had been making a fuss out of it, so he did not deserve her anger�
�I see.� Renee got serious and patted Leia�s shoulder comfortingly. �It�s not your problem, it�s his. Don�t feel pressured about it.�
�What should I do now, Ren? Sometimes I feel like an idiot whose emotions are easily manipulated by him. I feel so powerless!� Leia confessed to Renee miserably. �You know that I only have theoretical knowledge about romance. I have very little practical experience, and the only one I had was a failure. I really have no resistance toward a love master like Xavier.�
�Don�t worry, I know just how to deal with this kind of man. Just wait and see.� Renee smiled ambiguously at Leia and went to the kitchen to look for Xavier.
Xavier and Quinton were no longer chatting happily in the kitchen and started poking fun at each other.
�Hmph, don�t think that I don�t know what is on your mind when you try to flatter me. I advise you not to waste your time here� I won�t agree to it!� Quinton scoffed as he chopped the meat.
Xavier was washing the vegetables beside him. His noble demeanour made the greens in his hands look very expensive as he smiled and said, �What do you mean? I don�t understand.� JrNovels.com
