�Yeah� Come to think of it, I seem to have worried too much�� Renee pursed her lips thoughtfully.

�What do you mean?�

She said haughtily, �You are not her type at all. If she is not interested in you, she will naturally not be hurt by you.�

�Is that so?� A hint of frustration flashed across Xavier�s handsome face, but it was quickly replaced with cynicism.

�I�m sure that�s also what she thinks� Right, dear Lei?� The man asked suddenly with a wry smile.

The man�s gaze looked past Renee at the corner where Leia had been hiding for a while.

Renee felt nervous when she turned around and spotted Leia. �Lei, when did you get here? Why didn�t you say something?�

�I�ve been here for a while. It looked like you both were having a good chat so I didn�t have the heart to interrupt.� Leia slowly approached them, her tone indifferent and cold.

�Darn!� Renee knitted her eyebrows. She did not expect that Leia would overheard her conversation with Xavier.

As someone with high self-esteem, Lei must be very hurt!

�Don�t listen to his crap, Lei. He is just speaking casually. He is not such a person, he�� Renee anxiously tried to make excuses for Xavier, but then realized that the man�s words were simply unforgivable.

�You don�t have to defend me, darling, I am that kind of person. It�s good for Lei to know this early so that she will give up on her unrealistic fantasies.� Xavier put his hands in his pockets. The corners of his lips curved upwards and his gaze was carefree and charming.

Leia looked at the man coldly and said disdainfully, �I admit that you are skillful in flirtation, Xavier, and I did have some moments of confusion during the days we were on Sun Island, but the confusion I had is still far from admiration. I would never love a man like you.�

Xavier shrugged carelessly. �I know. I am not an elite or brainy man. I am just a jerk who lives casually. I won�t ask for your love.�

�I don�t like you because I despise you. You are a coward deep down. You don�t even have the guts to face your heart. You are the most cowardly man I have ever met, and you�re even more cowardly than my ex!�

�Coward?� Xavier rubbed his chin, as if she had poked his sore spot, and laughed.

�How am I a coward? What is wrong with not liking conflict?�

�Aren�t you a coward since you don�t even have the courage to face your own feelings?� Leia snarled, �I was wondering why I felt you were sad though you looked happy. It�s the sorrow of unrequited love, isn�t it? I understand now��

�Um, what do you understand?� He was confused for real this time. Did she really know his true feelings?

�You like Ren, your best friend�s girl.� Leia had figured out his true feelings this time and pitied him. �It�s a shame that you only dare to love her secretly and do not dare to pursue her. This is why you use your playfulness to hide your true feelings, then stay by Ren�s side as her best friend. You even deliberately flirt with me to use me as a cover-up because you are afraid that your true feelings will be exposed!� JrNovels.com
