Someone carried Leia out of the pond and into the house.She heard the door creak, and then she was
gently lowered down.
"Eh, Mr.Dalton, where did you take me to? Did you take me to a room? Well, I feel quite shy since
we''re alone in a room.Haha!"
She closed her eyes and stood there obediently.
Although she imed that she was shy, she could not suppress her smile.
‘Oh, my goodness! This is the idol I''ve admired for so many years.I''d be more than happy to be in the
same room with him even if we do nothing"
But he was indeed aloof.He carried her and said nothing, and she could even feel his cold aura.
After a while, she heard footsteps again.He stood before her and used a wet towel to gently wipe her
eyes and cheeks, attentive and gentle.
Leia blushed and said shyly, "I''m not worthy to have you wipe my face for me like this...If your fans
learn about this, they''ll beat me up!"
"Hmph, you seem fine now, but why can''t you walk when ites to him?" A voice said
condescendingly.
Leia was confused and carefully opened her eyes.To her surprise, it was Xavier who stood before
her.Her expression instantly turned sullen, and she asked grumpily, "Why are you here?"
"Who else would it be?" He snorted.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
"Who else would take such great care of you? I carried you out of the pond and wiped your face, but
you rolled your eyes at me."
"Where''s Mr.Dalton? What did you do to him?"
Leia looked around and found that they were in the room they arrived in on the first night.
The door was closed tightly, and they were the only ones in the room.
Santiago was nowhere to be found.
"He has so many tricks up his sleeve.He isn''t satisfied with being an idol, so he wanted to catch
mudfish instead.What could I possibly do to him?"
"No, you''re worse than him.You''re bad, so you think all men are scumbags like you!"
"Forget it if you don''t believe me.You''ll just have to learn the hard way."
Xavier casually threw the towel into the basin.He was an experienced man in the world of fame.He had
met a lot of people, and could see through a scheming man like Santiago, who purposely put up a
brooding and aloof front.
Only a fool like Leia would be bewitched by Santiago.
Before Leia left, she turned and warned Xavier, "Please don''t be alone in a room with me next
time.Everyone will make wild guesses, and it''ll ruin my image..."
"Everyone?"
Xavier said coldly, "Are you really afraid of ruining your image? You probably just don''t want that
pretentious jerk out there to misunderstand."
"Which pretentious jerk?"
Leia was baffled.She now realized that men were worse than women when they mocked others.
"Nothing.You won''t give up if you don''t suffer, so I won''t try to persuade you either."
Xavier lifted his chin arrogantly and left the room before Leia.
"How strange!"
Leia watched his back, thinking that men were the hardest creatures to understand.He imed that she
would never give up if she didn''t suffer, but she felt he should be taking that advice instead.
Everyone in Happy Days could see what a scheming snake Shirley was, so why couldn''t he?Cnapter
1322 Xavier was used to being a kiss-ass, so he was blind to the fact.
Leia walked out of the room.
The other celebrities had caught a lot of mudfish and returned to the house already.
Santiago was thest toe ashore.
When Leia was not around, he kept to himself and spoke to no one.
He showed everyone a sullen face and maintained his image as the aloof top actor.
"Mr.Dalton, what did you get? Let me help you!"
Leia ran to the shore enthusiastically and extended her hand to Santiago.
Santiago''s gaze softened, and he smiled warmly.
"Are your eyes okay?"
"Well, yeah.I just got a bit of mud in my eyes."
"I''m sorry about what happened just now.At first, I wanted to..."
He trailed off, feeling defeated.He had wanted to help her wipe her eyes but Xavier beat him to it and
carried her off.
Xavier had obviously been trying to challenge Santiago, and the other celebrities had watched
curiously.He wanted to fight Xavier at that moment, but held himself back after much consideration.
Now, he felt he was a coward.He gave up on the person he cared about.It was no different from
sacrificing his happiness.
Inexplicably, he recalled the first time he met Leia three years ago...
"Mr.Dalton?"
Leia waved a hand in front of his face, feeling like his gaze was as strange as that scumbag Xavier''s.
"I''m sorry, my mind was elsewhere."
Santiago regained his wits and held her hand toe ashore.He had missed her three years ago
because of his cowardice.
Three yearster, fate had put them back together again, so it had to be written in the stars.He would
not let her go again.
"I caught quite a lot today, so I''ll fry mudfish for you.What vor do you like?" Santiago smiled and
asked her.
"Eh? Are...Are you going to cook for me?"
Leia thought she heard him wrong.He said he wanted to cook for her instead of everyone else.It meant
that the dish was just for her.
"Yeah, I''ll cook for you.What vor do you like?"
Santiago repeated himself.He did not want to beat around the bush now.
After all, Xavier was upfront, and if Santiago behaved superficially, she would never have feelings for
him after filming ended.She would only see him as her idol.
And that was not the identity he wanted.
"Oh, my! You''re so nice to me, I''m ttered! I''m fine with whatever you cook, but if it''s okay with you,
make it sour and spicy.I like sour and spicy food," Leia said excitedly.
After spending some time with him, they had be close.
They were no longer a star and his fan, but good friends.
Santiago left to cook, and Xavier stood up.
"Let me get the firewood ready for you." Xavier sneered and drove everyone away before he followed
Santiago into the kitchen.
