Chapter: 1737
�Hey, princess, why are you shedding pearls?� To Xavier, Leia was more beautiful than the stars in the sky. He laid on his side and gently wiped away her tears.

�Don�t shed pearls so easily. It makes me sad.� Leia huffed and turned to him angrily.

�Why do you always have to ruin the mood? Can you stop it with the cheesy lines?�

�I�m serious.� Xavier looked at her fervently under the bright stars. �I feel happy when I see you, and sad when I don�t. I nearly went mad when I saw you get close to Santiago. Do you think I�m joking?�

Leia pursed her lips and didn�t dare to look at him because she didn�t know what to say. They had been playing this game of cat and mouse for a very long time, and when they had finally became a couple, they had quickly broken up with each other because of a conflict. The stress of it weighed heavily on Leia, and she didn�t know how to handle such an unstable relationship.

�I really don�t know you�� Leia sighed deeply and added, "Why do you have to pester me every time I decide to move on? When I wanted to get to know you better, you acted like you didn�t care at all. Do you think it�s fun to play me for a fool and mess with my mind again and again?�

�I didn�t do any of those things�� Xavier protested, feeling wronged.

�You didn�t?� Leia clenched her fists and asked him hoarsely, �What about Shirley? How are you going to settle your relationship with her? You wavered between Shirley and I when I wanted to be with you, so why should I have to go through that pain again?� Her enthusiasm and passion had quickly faded when he couldn�t commit.

�Yes, I didn�t handle it maturely back then, but things are different now. I just want to know� Do you still like me?� Xavier asked nervously, waiting for her answer with bright eyes.

�I�� Leia bit her lip, feeling conflicted. To be honest, she didn�t know how she felt about Xavier now. Maybe some of those feelings were still there, but their brief relationship had been rocky and unpredictable. On the other hand, Santiago�s gentle warmth always put her at ease, and she could even imagine having a family with him.

If something did happen between her and Santiago during this filming period, she would choose him over Xavier, without a doubt.

Xavier was like the sun, passionate and magnetic, but she�d get burned if she got too close. Santiago, meanwhile, gentle and reassuring like the moon. She could imagine being in a deep and lasting relationship with him.

Leia took a deep breath. �Xavier, actually, I-� However, before she could say anything, Xavier stopped her with a kiss, as if he knew what she was going to say.

�Mmph!� Angry, she tried to push him away, but it was the first time he was kissing her so softly and tenderly. She could feel his humility and nervousness in the careful way that he kissed her, as if he was begging her not to refuse him � For some reason, Leia stopped fighting him and pushing him away, and hesitantly started responding to his kisses. No woman would have been able to refuse such an alluring and captivating man.

Xavier�s large hands caressed her skin gently, and Leia�s body burned underneath his touch.

�Your answer isn�t important� What matters is that you�re by my side,� Xavier murmured hoarsely as he stared at the woman beneath him. She looked at him dazedly, her lips red from his kisses.

�You�re cunning, Xavier. You�re so good at manipulating women�s hearts� I hate you!� Leia�s pupils were dilated with desire, and she was frustrated with herself for giving in to him.

�Go ahead and hate me then; it�s better than you ignoring me.� Xavier smirked victoriously and kissed her again. In a matter of seconds, the both of them were lost in a haze of passion with the starry sky as their backdrop.

Suddenly, someone tried to open the door.

�Huh? We could enter just now, right? Why is the door locked now?� It was Megan. She was feeling a little hot after dancing, so she wanted to wash her face in the cottage.

�Knock on the door. Maybe there�s someone in there,� Santiago suggested. He had been feeling lonely watching everyone enjoying themselves earlier, so he had gone to Leia�s villa to chat with her. However, he couldn�t find Leia in her villa, and Xavier had also gone missing, so he figured they might be together. Concerned, he had gone to the cottage with Megan. JrNovels.com
