Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 1321

Chapter 1321

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 claimed 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 it comes 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. "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 claimed

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?
