Chapter 983
“But you’re also awesome, pretty, and unique. Why can’t you feel my fondness for you?”
“Why, you…”
Leia’s calmness was fluttered by him. Consequently, she blushed faintly.
It might be because she had some wine, or it might be because of the romantic night. When she lookedup at him, her clear eyes were watery and eager. “Tell me. Do you like me?”
That was the first time she asked him that question directly.
There seemed to be a tinge of ambiguity between them in the past. She seemed to have receivedsome hints from him, but she did not dare to confirm it. Afraid that she would be misunderstood, shenever dared to ask him that.
After what happened tonight, she was indeed quite annoyed by that kind of endless ambiguity.
She had no right to take a step forward in their relationship, but she was afraid of having regrets if sheretreated…
“I…”
It might be beyond Xavier’s imagination that Leia would take the initiative to lay everything on the table,given her abnormally high self-esteem.novelbin
At first, he handled that relationship with great ease, but now, he was in a slight panic. He did not knowhow to handle it.
However, his hesitation hurt her self-esteem.
Unexpectedly, she would suffer a loss the first time she took the initiative.
“Okay, you don’t have to give me an answer. We’re adults. I understand.”
Adults, when truly in love, moved forward bravely.
If they were not in love, all that would be left between them was hesitation.

Leia stood up and tried her best to force a smile at him. “I’m sorry for what happened just now. I madeyou awkward. I guarantee that such a thing won’t happen again…
“And if you really like Ren, there’s no need for all that deliberation. Just pursue her boldly like mybrother did. He pursued Ren for so many years, and although he failed, he didn’t take it too hardbecause he has no regrets.”
While talking, she retreated. Consequently, she bumped into an ornament and nearly fell.
“Be careful!”
Xavier acted fast and supported her. His gaze was full of sorry. “I’m sorry. Are… you okay?”
“Nonsense! Why did you say sorry to me? I’m fine. I didn’t confess my love for you. I just asked you ifyou liked me. It’s very normal that you don’t like me. I know that you like Ren. You…”
“I told you I don’t like Renee!”
He sounded slightly displeased as he stated coldly, “At least I don’t like her now.”
“So, you…”
Leia instinctively wanted to ask him whom he liked now, but she was a proud woman. She did not wantto be humiliated again.
“Whatever!”
She grumpily pushed him away and walked out of the dining room.
However, her body started to feel weird while she was walking. The pain from her belly made her bendover and squat on the floor in pain…
