Chapter 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 the last to come 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 to come ashore.

He had missed her three years ago because of his cowardice. Three years later, 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 flavor 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 flavor 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 flattered! 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 become

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.
