Leia was struck speechless. She remained quiet and motionless as if she had been petrified. Xavier walked to Stefan, looking at the charming, lovey-dovey couple in front of him. Strangely, his handsome and bright face seemed solemn and gloomy. With a sentimental vibe, he whined, "Stef, you sure are awesome. I just went on a trip, but you guys turned hostility to love and made up with each other. As expected... no matter how skillful one is, one is no better than a talented person like you." Stefan was so gripped in a state of deep love that he acted as if he was Eros. He was not as cold and distant as he was before. On the contrary, his whole being radiated with the light of love and peace. "Bastard, stop teasing me. It's all because of my deep sincerity that she changed her mind. Keep this in mind. Sincerely is the key to love!" After he said that, he hugged Xavier with one arm and whispered in his heart, "Leia is kind and magnanimous. She's much more reliable than that wom
“Bro, why are you so nervous?”Xavier's lips curled into a mischievous smile. He remained as unpredictable as ever. "You're the one who invited me here, so shouldn't you at least show some confidence?”The two men were locked in an invisible battle. The atmosphere became weirdly tense.“Can you two... act normally?”Renee gulped and suggested cautiously.Xavier's beautiful eyes immediately curled into crescent moons as he beamed at Stefan. He patted Stefan's shoulder and said, "Haha, just kidding. Look how scared Stefan is. He's worried that his wife would run away with someone else...”“Alright, I'll stop teasing you. This island is beautiful! I want to look around!”He ran a few steps, then suddenly stopped and came back because he remembered something. He told Stefan, "Umm... Ms. Osborne has something important to say to you, Stef. Be mentally prepared, okay? Make sure you tighten your belt.”“Tighten my belt?!”Renee was confused. "What the hell? Xavier, explain yourself..
“Hmm.. Where should I begin? Actually, I'm not sure how things turned out like this either...”Renee grabbed Leia's hand and let out a long sigh. She told Leia honestly, "I made up my mind not to get involved with him ever again, but things changed. He came at me really aggressively. I couldn't stop him, so I pretended to accept him and waited for him to get bored. But after a while, I realized that he's... actually not that bad.”“Not that bad?!”Leia poked Renee's forehead and scolded her, "Have you already forgotten about the pain he made you go through just because the wounds have healed? Have you forgotten about all the dirty things he did four years ago? Have you forgotten about all the hardship you went through in the last four years, having to bring up your children by yourself?”“That guy is cold and unpredictable. He might treat you well now, but what if he suddenly has a change of heart? He'll hurt you again and snatch Adie and Abby away from you. Have you thought about
In hindsight, perhaps her brother had already anticipated that Renee and Stefan would reconcile sooner or later!Tsk, she felt really bad for her brother, but there was nothing she could do.Renee's shoulders trembled as she sobbed quietly for a while. Then, she lifted her head and grabbed Leia's hand tightly. She said, "Lei, tell me where your brother is. I want to see him. I have a lot to say to him.”“He's traveling around the world. I'm not sure where he is right now...”Leia smiled awkwardly and said, "Last time we said goodbye was half a month ago. We went to Nouveauland together, after which he traveled east. Apparently, there's a place called the East Cape Lighthouse there that's said to welcome the world's first rays of sunshine every day. As for me, I went west all the way to Quartz Island, Meryah.”It was there that she ran into the massive playboy, Xavier Stuart!By the way, wasn't it funny that all three of them brokenhearted souls—her brother, Xavier, and her—chose
Renee turned around and their eyes met. In his eyes, she once again saw the coldness of old.The air seemed to freeze at that moment. Even though they were on a warm island, it felt as cold as the South Pole.Neither of them spoke, but one could feel the exchange of sharp blades between their eyes.“Oh no!”Leia covered her face. She knew this would happen!The atmosphere was as eerie as a horror film. Leia, who was stuck between them, felt extremely awkward. She felt like jumping into the sea to get away."Umm... Mr. Hunt, please don't misunderstand. The two of us talk nonsense to each other all the time. Sometimes, we don't really mean what we say. Besides, besides...”Leia was crumbling under intense pressure. She racked her brains trying to make excuses for Renee.Although she strongly disapproved of their reunion, she did not hope to see them get into a fight over something so ridiculous.“I meant everything I said.”Renee stared at Stefan expressionlessly. His coldness
“You mean you've been thinking of a “future” with me?”“Of course!”Renee held the handsome man's face and teased him, "If I don't plan to have a long-term relationship with you, why would I waste my time? Look at you. Your face becomes tense so easily. It's not handsome anymore. Come on, smile for me. I love your smile. It captivates me every time.”“Stop being glib with me. I warn you, if you dare leave me, I'll break your leg.”Stefan's tone was still cool and arrogant, but his mood had obviously improved, and he could not help but smile."I know, I know. Hurry up and make dinner already. Lei's starving!""Fine. Xavier is roasting a leg of lamb. It should be done soon. Let's head over there."After that, he gave Renee a possessive kiss and went away to prepare dinner.Leia watched everything with wide eyes. She remained shocked for a long time.“T-That's it?”She gulped hard and asked, "Renee, what did you do? How did you tame the legendary giant iceberg who's used to bein
“What the hell???”Leia was staring at the leg of lamb and salivating wildly when she heard what Xavier said. It was so sudden that it stunned her.“I still remember the bold words you said on the speedboat. I, Xavier, have rarely been impressed with anyone, especially women, but after hearing what you said, I'm completely impressed. Don't let me down now.”“What bold words? I say lots of bold words all the time. You can't expect me to remember all of them.”Leia feigned ignorance and said, "Wow, the leg of lamb looks so good...”“It's okay if you don't remember because I do. I can remind you. You said you would show him your skills with a knife, you said you would castrate him and turn him into a eunuch, you said you would force him to his knees to apologize, etc...”Xavier crossed his long legs and said mischievously. He kept fanning the flames, trying to turn the situation chaotic.“D-Did I say that?”Leia shrunk back. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead.Yes, she was inde
“Simply drinking like this is boring. Why don't we play the Three Gardens game?”Renee reached out to stop Leia and Xavier from drinking and proposed eagerly.“That's a kid's game. Boring!”Leia and Xavier surprisingly had the same opinion. They both expressed no interest in the game.“How can you say my wife's proposal is boring?”Stefan's expression turned cold. He threatened, "You'll play the game, and you'll like it.”“Alright, alright, we'll play it.”Leia and Xavier once again acted in unison. They both succumbed to Stefan's pressure.Leia secretly complained to Xavier, "Is Stefan possessed? He's completely turned into a henpecked husband. It's scary."Xavier was unperturbed. "Nah. Deep down, my bro is actually a hopeless romantic. It took him a lot of effort to act like an iceberg in the past.”Renee clapped her hands and said, "Okay, let's start. I visited the Three Gardens on Wednesday. Today, we visited the—Fruit Garden!”Stefan: “Watermelon.”Leia: “Peach.”Abig
