Chapter: 1627
�It�s just a hug between friends, there�s no harm in it. What�s more, I nearly died just now. Can�t you console me as a friend?� Shirley�s lip quivered and tears rolled down her cheeks.
�Back when I had been kicked by a horse during a horse-riding scene, you felt so sorry for me that you caught a flight overnight and rushed back to stay with me. You even ordered that a substitute had to take my place if ever I had any action scenes again� But now, I nearly died from a fall now, and you didn�t even want to hug me.�
�That was the past.�
�But I want us to go back to how things were. As friends. Okay?�
�You�� Xavier sighed deeply. He knew that she would not stop pestering him if he refused to hug her, so he yielded.
�Okay, just for a while.�
They hugged each other like they did in the past. Xavier felt uneasy and wanted to let go, but Shirley hugged him tighter.
Leia happened to see that scene as she rushed there. Shirley was facing the door of the ward, and she smiled at Leia. �Miss Osborne, there you are. Xavier and I were just talking about you.�
It was a very normal statement, but Leia could tell that Shirley was provoking her. She didn�t know if she was overthinking it, but that kind of gaze disgusted her.
�It seems like I came at the wrong time. I don�t want to disturb you, so I�ll go now�� Leia bit her lip and kept her head low as she was about to leave.
�No, it�s fine.� Xavier let go of Shirley and said to Leia coldly, �You caused such a great accident. Don�t you want to resolve it?� He was on Leia�s side but he could not favor her at a moment like this. Firstly, he didn�t want to spoil her. Secondly, he didn�t want to make Shirley jealous in case she decided to take revenge on Leia.
Leia assumed that he was sorry for his first love, and bitterness and envy overwhelmed her. She didn�t want to retreat, so she braced herself and walked into the ward before asking Shirley,
�You know very well that I didn�t push you down the hill on purpose, but I won�t try to shift the blame either. So, what is it you want? Medical fee? A public apology? Or something else?� Leia was blunt because she already anticipated that Shirley would find fault with her.
�It�s fine. I know that you didn�t do it on purpose, so I discussed it with Xavier and decided to let it go. I won�t hold you responsible for it either. Of course� I did it because of Xavier.� While talking, Shirley looked at Xavier tenderly and smiled sweetly.
�I have to thank you though. We�re able to see our true feelings in hard times. At first, there was some unresolved tension between Xavier and me, but when I saw how worried he was about me, those misunderstandings were naturally resolved. We can still be best friends and soulmates who knew each other best like in the past. Am I right� Xavier?�
Xavier clenched his fists but did not deny it. He said lightly, �Just let bygones be bygones. I hope that we can get along with each other well like in the past.�
�Like in the past�� Leia snorted. It was unknown whether she was laughing at Xavier or herself. �Both Xavier and Shirley were an acknowledged couple in the circle. A rich, young heir and an innocent female star� What a romantic setting! I was so jealous!�
�I thought so too! I didn�t realize how important it was until I lost it, but now I know.� Shirley grinned happily, her large eyes making her look innocent. She started reminiscing about the past.
�I recalled how ignorant I was when I first joined the entertainment circle. My family was still waiting for my money to save them. I wanted to sell myself to others and I nearly died on a table of an underground business at Water Dock. Xavier came and saved me like a prince in a fairytale. He helped me pay off my family�s debts and hired famous doctors to cure my family��
�Really? How romantic! We can�t even find such a romantic storyline in novels. Why haven�t you guys tied the knot yet? If you promised him earlier, you might be Mrs. Stuart now, and you�d probably have kids too. What a pity!� Leia knew that Shirley was purposely showing off, so she suppressed her pain and played along. JrNovels.com
