Xavier happened to hear their conversation outside the ward, and he rolled his eyes as he walked in with a golden velvet cake he had just bought. "What's the good of eating apples? They're cold and bad for your teeth... This, on the other hand, is a golden velvet cake I bought for you after much effort and lining up." Xavier stood between Santiago and Leia before handing the cake to Leia. Although Leia scowled at Xavier, she had actually been craving that famous golden velvet cake, so she didn't reject it. Besides, the chef that made the golden velvet cake only made three of them a day, and they could only be bought if the person was sincere enough. Leia had tried lining up several times and begged the chef for ages, but hadn't managed to get it. Somehow, Xavier had managed to get it, which meant he had probably put a lot of effort into it."Apples are nutritious, and that cake is too sweet. Lei is recovering now, so she can't have too much sugar." With a cold expression, Santiago s
Xavier's words made the atmosphere tense, and Leia felt like she was going to go crazy with the two men constantly fighting over her. Furious, she typed a message on her phone and showed it to Xavier and Santiago. "You two don't have to come and take care of me from tomorrow onwards. I don't want to see either of you.""I'm sorry, Lei, it's my fault. I shouldn't have forced you." Santiago immediately apologized to Leia. His innocent gaze made him look like a college student, and it could soften any woman's heart. The brash Xavier knew he couldn't win against that boyish face. He gritted his teeth and glared at Santiago, muttering, "Sissy boy!" However, Santiago didn't get mad, and just hung his head sadly. "I'm sorry, Mr. Stuart. I know I should be friendly towards people who love Lei sincerely, but I'm very much into her. My possessiveness got the better of me and I said something rude. I'll go now; I don't want to make Lei unhappy.""Stop pretending! You're just faking it for b
Leia broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly typed out, "I heard that people will do bizarre things when they wake up from general anesthesia. How did I embarrass myself that day? I can't remember a thing.""Do you really want to know?" Santiago smiled and asked.Leia quickly nodded."Forget it. I'm worried you'll get embarrassed if you know." Santiago had recorded Leia's reaction with his phone that day because he found it very memorable. After meeting so many insincere people, he found a simple and honest woman like Leia to be rare. Even if her cuteness was not because of him, he wanted to keep it as a memory for the rest of his life. "No, tell me how crazy I was!" Leia put her hands together and pleaded with Santiago, hoping he would tell her. She had watched such a video before and found it very funny. Maybe she'd learn about her inner self. "Okay, I'll show you." Santiago fished out his phone and showed Leia the video he took that day. Eagerly, Leia clicked on the video.
Leia left the hospital after she had recovered a week later, and the first person she wanted to see was Renee. She still couldn't speak because her throat was recovering, so she had been texting Renee, but Renee hadn't replied to any of her texts. This worried Leia, so she wanted to go to Renee's house the instant she was discharged. As Leia left the hospital, Santiago and Xavier were right by her side. "Let's go. I want to go to Renee's house too. It's on the way." Xavier immediately took Leia's luggage as if he were her boyfriend, but Leia snatched it back, typed something on her phone, then showed it to Xavier angrily. "Didn't I ask you to stay away from me? I don't want to see you.""Just close your eyes if you don't want to see me." After that, Xavier shot a snide look at Santiago. "You don't have to go since they're our friends; it'll only be awkward if you go." "Leia should be the one who decides that. It's not up to you, Mr. Stuart." Santiago ignored Xavier and looked at Lei
Leia couldn't understand what was going on. She felt as if she was in a world where she had to choose between Xavier and Santiago, and everyone had an opinion on her choice. When the cab arrived, she hurried into it and closed the door, breathing a sigh of relief. The driver was a young man. He stared at Leia in the rearview mirror for a while before he asked calmly, "Aren't you Miss Osborne from The Choice of Love? The show is pretty good, so why did they stop it? Didn't a sea snake bite you? Are you discharged now?"Leia smiled politely even though she felt like jumping out of the car. How had a typical reality show like theirs become so popular? It felt like everyone had watched it at this point."I like Xavier best. It was hilarious watching him help that pig deliver her babies; he really is talented! But who do you like the best? Who did you pick in the end? I think Xavier suits you better. Maybe he can even help you give birth in the future. Haha!" The driver laughed heartily
After spending some time together, both of them started to feel a little bored."Ren, do you want to walk around the nearby garden? A lot of things have changed around here. At first, there were plans to build a factory here, but the residents protested and decided to make it a habitable neighborhood. They even built a wetland park nearby, and it's really pretty..." After typing those words, Leia suddenly realized that Renee couldn't see. Feeling sad, she changed the words and turned her text into a voice message. "Ren, let's take a walk at the wetland park nearby. The weather is nice.""Sure!" Renee quickly agreed. She found it rather boring staying at home all day, and had wanted someone to accompany her outside. Hence, Leia took Renee to the nearby wetland park. There was a large man-made lake in the center of the park with reeds around it, and many popular streamers went there to take photos. Both Renee and Leia didn't like crowded places, so they picked an isolated spot at a b
Leia had only been there for twenty minutes, but she had already cursed Stefan and all his family members.After sensing Leia's anger, Renee lost the courage to tell her that she had reconciled with Stefan. Quickly, she changed the topic. "How about you? How's it going with your reality show? Who did you fall for in the end?" "Ugh, why did you have to bring that up?" Leia sniffed and picked up another orange to peel."I only watched one or two episodes, but it's obvious that Xavier and Santiago have feelings for you. Are you not sure who to pick?" Renee was also curious about Leia's choice. "Everyone's asking me the same thing. I must be cursed…" Leia sighed unhappily, unable to escape the question. Unconsciously, she began to wonder who she liked more."Ren, who do you think… I should choose?" Leia always listened to Renee, and hoped Renee would give her the right answer. "Tell me who I should choose. I'll listen to you.""Stop messing around. This is a big deal, so why are yo
"Of course, it's different!" Renee said seriously, "It's different because Stefan is the only man I love. No matter who likes me, I'll only pick Stefan… but you're different. You're moved by Santiago, but you're addicted to Xavier. Seems to me like you want them both!" "Haha! You're right. You saw through me!" Leia couldn't deny it, and smiled awkwardly. She had never known why she couldn't choose, but now it just seemed like she was being fickle and greedy."So, face your heart. Don't run from it. Isn't it nice to have both of them? If I could love more than one man, I would have many lovers by now," Renee said jokingly."You're right—I should be more open-minded. Well, I'm not conflicted anymore." Enlightened, Leia started typing on her phone. "Well, men always have the advantage in relationships because it's women who have to give birth and suffer through periods. We even have to take care of our in-laws and kids, work well, and be cautious of homewreckers. Women suffer a lot, b
