Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
“Ugh, shut up!” When Leia heard his words, she was so angry that she wanted to leave, but she forced herself to stay since she had a favor to ask of him. So, she gritted her teeth and sneered, “I told you someone told me that she heard the plastic surgeon talking to Shirley on the phone before the surgery. He even asked her to rest assured since he would get the job done. Do you really think she’s innocent? This woman isn’t as simple as you think, but you always regard her as your untouchable first love. You just don’t want to admit it.”
“You’re wrong,” Xavier said coldly, ’I know better than you that there’s more to her than meets the eye. If not, I wouldn’t have fallen out with her… I just want you to properly analyze who the culprit is.”
He was not a biased person. Regardless of who it was, he could analyze the situation logically.
Leia’s anger dimmed, and she said, “At the very least, I’m sure she was a part of it even if she wasn’t the culprit. It’s fine as long as I find her and ask her about it, right?”
Xavier thought about it briefly, then nodded. “Sure, I’ll go with you.”
“Why? Are you afraid that I’ll make things difficult for your first love?”
Xavier shook his head. “No, she can easily deal with you given how straightforward you are.”
“What… are you talking about?”
“You’re gullible and can be easily bullied. It’s better if I watch over you.”
After that, he picked up his phone and contacted the business department. “Look into
Shirley’s current schedule and send a copy of it to my phone.”
She had been suspended by the company, so she did not have many jobs. Currently, she was doing a slow variety show called Happy Days. She signed onto it a year ago.
It was about a group of celebrities who spent time living a simple life in a remote village. At first, Shirley didn’t want to do the show because she had to work and toil away there for a month. After the show, her skin would have turned rough and tanned. It was hard to restore her delicate look, so she found it intolerable. So, even though her fans thought that she was diligent, the others complained that she was too pretentious and wanted nothing but a comfortable life. They thought she needed her assistant to do everything for her, including feeding her.
Hence, the company accepted such a variety show for her to change her image. If the show gained a good response, she could earn an endorsement fee, and the company would stop suspending her.
“The business department told me that she arrived at Drido Village at Siebert City in
Xavwood last night. The living conditions there are rather difficult, and I heard that there aren’t any roads. Do you still want to go?” Xavier was afraid that she could not soldier through that. After all, she was a rich young lady who grew up under Geronimo’s abundant adoration. She never did any house chores, and he figured that she had never been to a village before. “I can ask her for you or you can go to her after the shooting is over.”
“No!“ Leia raised her hand eagerly. “To be honest, I’ve been watching Happy Days for five seasons. I planned to go there to take a look even without Shirley. Now is the perfect time!”
“Okay, I’ll get a car and set off right away.” Xavier held his forehead because he knew that he could not dissuade her from that. He could only accompany her for the wild ride ahead.
He got a professional A TV and bought a lot of supplies to put in the trunk before leaving.
They were all Leia’s favorite fruits and snacks.
Leia was slightly moved when she saw him do all this for her. She leaned against the car and handed him a tissue paper as she said teasingly, “We’ve broken up, so you don’t have to be so considerate. If not, I’ll think that you still can’t forget about me.”
She regretted her comment immediately and added, “Don’t get me wrong, I’m just joking.
I’m not the kind of person who likes getting back together with exes.”
“Me neither.” After he made that light comment, he placed the box of her favorite biscuits in the trunk.
Leia scowled, hating the way he affected her.
They set off in the car and soon came to the highway around the ocean.
Leia called Flossie. “Flossie, are you okay? How is Quinton doing?”
“We got a more awesome expert, so there’s a very high chance that he’ll wake up.”
“Well, that’s good.” Leia felt relieved. “I may be away for a few days. Take good care of yourself, and don’t worry too much. We must trust that we’ll get a happy ending.”
“Where are you going?”
“Er… I’m going to visit a set.” Leia was worried that Flossie might be worried, so she said lightly. “Make sure you get a good rest.”
“You too. We have to take care of ourselves.”
They chatted with each other for at least half an hour.
Driving, Xavier sighed. “Why do you women have so much to talk about?”
“It’s because women are excellent creatures, unlike men who fail to develop. Yes, you look like a human but you think like a beast.”
“Why are you suddenly condemning me?”
“Isn’t it the truth?” Leia asked bluntly. “Both you and Halston are bad guys. You’re greedy and want all the women. Only beasts can’t control their feelings and are disloyal… Oh, but penguins and whales are different. They only have one soul mate throughout their lives, which makes them so much better than you jerks!”
Xavier couldn’t deny it. It was true that both he and Halston failed to handle their relationship well.
The journey took nearly a day before they drove into a mountain from the sea. They then stopped at the town, but the road ahead was muddy, and they could not drive into the place
It had been raining recently, so the road was bumpy with mud. One could not drive on it, and it was very hard to walk on the road too.
“Maybe we should go back…” Xavier frowned deeply when he saw the road. He felt that a rich young lady like Leia wouldn’t be able to handle this.
“Go?” To his surprise, Leia rolled the legs of her trousers up and actually looked excited.
“What a wonderful experience! I’ve only seen this in movies. How can I leave?”
After that, she took off her shoes and happily walked onto the road.
“Are you a woman? You’re so tough. Don’t you find the mud dirty?” Xavier stood at a clean spot and watched Leia stomp through the mud in disbelief. Although he wasn’t a germaphobe, he couldn’t bear stepping in the mud with bare feet.
“Why are you still standing there? Hurry up, it’s just mud. We can wash our feet clean later.” Leia had walked a hundred meters when she realized that Xavier was still standing there hesitantly.
She didn’t realize that he was such a sissy.
She didn’t mind it, but his current image was vastly different from her former impression of him. She even began to doubt if she was blind to fall in love with such a man in the past.
“Hey, I’m going to count to three. I won’t wait for you…” Leia put both hands on her waist and urged him impatiently.
“Just you wait, Leia! I’ll deal with you when we get there. I’m suffering now, so I’ll let it go,”
Xavier said through gritted teeth. It was indeed some kind of torture to walk barefoot through that muddy road for him, but her words angered him.
“Bragging is useless! Come over if you dare!” Leia grinned triumphantly. She loved the feeling of infuriating him when he couldn’t do anything about it.
She really did drive him mad.
She thought he was afraid of stepping into the mud barefoot, so she could easily provoke and humiliate him. Leia was having a great time now.
“I’ll show you what’s what!” Xavier closed his eyes and rolled the legs of his trousers up. He then gnashed his teeth and stepped into the mud.
“Ah, just kill me!” When he stepped into the mud, he groaned as if he had just stepped into fire instead.
Leia held her forehead. “It’s just mud. Stop screaming, or dogs might come!”
“Dogs?” Xavier became much more terrified when he heard that. He suppressed his inward disgust and ran towards Leia.
