Female Novel
Chapter 982
The dinner was indeed quite chaotic. It was as if Cupid had gotten drunk and it began to arbitrarily setup couples.
Both Quinton and Leia hinted at Xavier ceaselessly to please Renee, but Renee gave Xavier endlesschances to please Leia.novelbin
Xavier claimed that he wanted to pursue Renee, but his focus was all on Leia. He peeled prawns forher repeatedly. After that, he started peeling crabs for her. Hence, there was so much food on her platethat she could not finish it…
“Okay, stop peeling. I’m already full.”
Smiling awkwardly, Leia stopped Xavier from peeling more prawns for her. After that, she lowered hervoice and said, “Are you done using me? You should chat with Ren and serve her food. Have youforgotten what I just taught you? She’s leaving the table if you don’t act now.”
“So you do dislike me indeed. Didn’t I peel the prawns and crabs nicely? I’ll change, okay?”
Xavier behaved like a feeble person and looked at her pitifully.
Leia was dumbfounded.
“Ahem, well, I’m full. Enjoy your meal.”
Renee wiped her lips before she got up and left the dining table. She said to the two children, “Adie,Abby, let’s go. I’ll play with you.”
“I’m full now.”
Quinton also got up.
Even if he was insensible, he could see whom Xavier aimed to win over now. Hence, he stopped tryingto set him up with Renee casually.
In short, he regarded Leia as his younger sister too. If Leia won Xavier over, it was the same as if Renhad won Xavier over. The effects would be the same, and he could make use of Xavier too.
In the end, Xavier and Leia were the only ones left at the dining table.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward and slightly ambiguous.
But Leia was well aware of Xavier’s feelings. She hated that kind of ambiguity very much.
She put down her cutlery and glared at him in annoyance. “Hey, Xavier, do you take me for a fool?”
“Of course, I haven’t the stomach for that.”
Innocence was written all over Xavier’s handsome face. “Haven’t I served you well tonight? Why didyou say that I take you for a fool?”
“You told me that you want to pursue Ren, so I told you a lot of moves that you could use. But youdidn’t even use any of that. You just used me the entire night. Now my stomach is full of prawns andcrabs. Aren’t you fooling me?”
Leia inevitably burped when she reached that point. She grabbed a few pieces of fruit to cleanse herpalette.
Xavier raised his charming countenance and looked at her with a faint smile. “Well, thank you, my goodfriend. But… did I ever tell you that I’d pursue Ren?”
“What? If you like her, don’t you want to pursue her? What’s more, you told me just now that youwanted to. You even asked me to teach you. Why are you refusing to admit it?”
“I just told you that I could try and pursue her, but I didn’t say that I would really do that. What’s more…”
Xavier paused all of a sudden. His gaze turned deep-set with a profound meaning as he looked at Leia.“When again did I say that I liked her?”
“There you go again. No one else is here. Why are you so shy?”
She looked at him, and felt remorseful for failing to live up to his expectation. “I know that you’re verystressed to have such a love rival like Stefan. After all, he’s handsome and capable. He’s your buddytoo. It’s reasonable that you don’t dare to pursue your buddy’s woman, but Ren is single now. Don’t tellme that you don’t even have the courage to admit to it now, do you?”
However, Xavier merely chuckled and touched her head. “Don’t talk about other stuff. I simply want toknow the reasons for your firm belief that I fancy Renee?”
“It’s because Ren is outstanding, pretty, and unique. She is a model of a perfect woman. No men canresist her charms, including a frivolous playboy like you.”
Leia produced a well-founded answer.
