"Oh..." Nodding, Justin relaxed.

"So it's not Stefan. It doesn't matter then." �Why not?" Renee looked puzzled.

"It's because I have nothing to fear if it wasn't from Stefan, even if it's flowers, gold, or cash," Justin said confidently.

Renee was speechless. Justin seemed to be quite dumb even though he looked smart.

He would've gone mad if he knew that Stefan brought food to Renee every night and stayed in her ward for more than an hour.

"Regardless, I think he's a kind man since his gift is just what Ren likes," Leia declared brightly, happy if the number of Renee's pursuers grew.

"Stop that. What's going on with you?" Renee, however, was more worried about Leia's relationship and asked hesitantly, "Did you get back with that person? Don't let us affect your relationship..."

"I... I'm not in a relationship with him, so it's fine." Leia was happy to talk about Renee's relationships, but became nervous when it came to hers.

She stammered, "I've ended things with that person, and now I've got a new target that I'm going to start something with... Just wait and see!"

�Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Renee stopped asking questions; she knew that

Leia would tell her immediately if there was any progress.

If she didn't, it meant that there was nothing substantial there yet. After that, Leia walked out of Renee's ward, holding a sunflower and sniffing it happily.

She was so distracted that she walked straight into someone. Surprised, she looked up to find the very person they had just been talking about � Xavier Stuart.

She wrapped her clothes tighter around her body and growled at him, �What are you doing here? Are you stalking me, you pervert? Didn't I tell you that it was over between us?" Xavier looked at her and smiled gently.

"It's been a while, my ex- girlfriend." He had actually come to see Stefan, but coincidentally bumped into Leia.

Although they had broken up with each other, they still felt something stir inside their hearts when they saw each other.

"Don't say that, we're not that close." Disappointment overwhelmed Leia when she recalled the things that had happened in the mountains, and she immediately felt irritated with Xavier.

�How cruel! We slept together, didn't we? Of course that makes us close," Xavier said teasingly, finding Leia's behaviour cute.

He slowly got closer to her and stared deeply into her eyes.

"I don't mind reminding you if you forgot how close we were."

"How... are you going to do that?" Shaken by his nearness, Leia subconsciously leaned backward.

"I remember that my ex likes it when I kiss her against the wall. I don't mind helping you remember if you've forgotten..." Xavier murmured seductively as he backed her into a corner, leaning over her.

�Idiot!" Blushing, Leia tried to slap him but he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms, whispering softly into her ear, "Aren't we close?"

"I..." Leia's heartbeat quickened and she bit her lip, looking away. JrNovels.com
