Chapter 1418
Leia watched the stars, thrilled that she could stare at them without even lifting her head. It lookedso magical!
Leia and Xavier laid next to each other and marvelled at the view silently, their shoulders and headstouching. It felt peaceful and soothing.
“You know, it’s been a while since I saw this many stars…” Leia murmured, feeling rathermelancholic. “The last time was when Liam, Ren, and I drove to The Golden Hills at Springfield.Everwell Hills, The King of Hills is right opposite The Golden Hills. When night fell, the dark sky wasfull of bright stars… It was as if I could see the whole galaxy.”
“I can imagine,” Xavier said longingly. He had always wanted to stargaze on a hill because the viewwould be clearest, but he never could find the time. Now that he heard it from Leia, he felt like hewas experiencing it himself.
“We had such a good time, and we worried about nothing. We would go on road trips when wewere free, and we climbed a lot of mountains and went to a lot of beaches. Now, even though thestars haven’t changed, we have. There are always things to worry about.” Leia sighed as shethought about her college days.
Xavier looked over at her and smiled. “I didn’t expect you to have a deep and cynical sideconsidering how carefree and optimistic you usually are.”
Leia didn’t respond, but tears rolled down her cheeks like shooting stars in the sky. “Do you thinkeveryone is like you? You have the looks, but you’re not a deep thinker at all. Don’t you know thatpeople will get emotional when they see breathtaking views like this?”
“Hey, princess, why are you shedding pearls?” To Xavier, Leia was more beautiful than the stars inthe sky. He laid on his side and gently wiped away her tears. “Don’t shed pearls so easily. It makesme sad.”
Leia huffed and turned to him angrily. “Why do you always have to ruin the mood? Can you stop itwith the cheesy lines?”
“I’m serious.” Xavier looked at her fervently under the bright stars. “I feel happy when I see you, andsad when I don’t. I nearly went mad when I saw you get close to Santiago. Do you think I’m joking?”
Leia pursed her lips and didn’t dare to look at him because she didn’t know what to say. They hadbeen playing this game of cat and mouse for a very long time, and when they had finally became acouple, they had quickly broken up with each other because of a conflict. The stress of it weighedheavily on Leia, and she didn’t know how to handle such an unstable relationship.
“I really don’t know you…” Leia sighed deeply and added,” Why do you have to pester me everytime I decide to move on? When I wanted to get to know you better, you acted like you didn’t careat all. Do you think it’s fun to play me for a fool and mess with my mind again and again?”
“I didn’t do any of those things…” Xavier protested, feeling wronged.
“You didn’t?” Leia clenched her fists and asked him hoarsely, “What about Shirley? How are yougoing to settle your relationship with her? You wavered between Shirley and I when I wanted to bewith you, so why should I have to go through that pain again?” Her enthusiasm and passion hadquickly faded when he couldn’t commit.
“Yes, I didn’t handle it maturely back then, but things are different now. I just want to know… Do youstill like me?” Xavier asked nervously, waiting for her answer with bright eyes.novelbin
