Chapter: 1744
Leia scratched her head, not knowing what to do next.
�There�s no rush, we have time. I know you wanted to mediate the conflict between Xavier and I when you chose Skylar last night, but I hope you�ll follow your heart and pick the one you want tonight.�
Santiago didn�t want to pressure Leia, but he didn�t like the vague relationship they had right now. He wanted to be with her in the open, and he also didn�t know if Leia could withstand Xavier�s flirtatiousness for much longer.
�Okay.� Leia nodded firmly. �Til follow my heart tonight and won�t waver again.�
After spending this time with Santiago, she was more certain of her feelings. She wanted a relationship that was safe and peaceful, not an unstable roller-coaster ride.
Xavier was already awake when Leia and Santiago came down from the hill. Currently, he had the most points, and had chosen to exchange his house with Leia.
He had already moved his luggage to Leia�s large villa, which came with two floors and four bedrooms facing the sea. If Leia was nice to him, he didn�t mind giving her a room. That way, they could live under the same roof, and the thought of it made him grin.
However, his grin instantly disappeared when he saw Leia and Santiago walking over, sweating and chatting happily.
He scowled and demanded, �Where did you guys go?�
�That�s none of your business, is it?� Leia sneered coldly.
�Fine, be that way. I was just wondering if I should give you a room in this villa, but now�� Xavier rubbed his chin, pretending to look thoughtful.
Confused, Leia retorted, �Are you a child? I don�t mind the cottage since I�ll only be staying there for a few days. After all, it has a nice view of the sky.� She shrugged, amused by Xavier�s childish behavior. He was acting like a rich kid who wouldn�t befriend people who didn�t pamper him.
Instantly, Xavier�s confidence disappeared, and he didn�t know what to do. He had planned to hold the villa as a bargaining chip, but now, Leia wasn�t interested.
Annoyed, he smirked and said lightly, �That�s true. To be honest, I can�t bear to give that cottage up because that was where we laid in bed and watched the stars together. It was pretty romantic.�
�Xavier!� Leia�s jaw dropped and she glanced at Santiago guiltily.
However, Santiago just smiled and touched Leia�s hair gently. �Come on, let�s go and have breakfast before we go snorkeling. I heard that it�s beautiful under the sea, and I hope that we can enjoy it together.�
They went to a clear area near the island for snorkeling based on their agreement last night.
As they arrived at the island, Billy explained, �This island is called Heart Island because it�s heart-shaped, and thanks to its crystal-clear water, a lot of coral reefs and tropical fish are visible while snorkeling. It�s a breathtaking view, and if you�re lucky, you might even find the special moonstone of this island. Yes� it�s the kind of moonstone that lights up at night that we thought only existed in movies.�
�Is there really a moonstone here?� Leia became excited when she heard that, and couldn�t wait to go snorkeling.
She�d heard that Heart Island housed oysters that made beautiful pearls that could be sold for sky-high prices, but the moonstone Billy talked about had always been just a legend. JrNovels.com
