For him, the process didn’t matter, as long as he got the result he wanted in the end.
“Mr. Dalton, the more time we spend together, the more I feel like we’re very similar.
It’s almost like… we’re soulmates.” Leia smoothed her hair as she confessed her feelings for him.
She was no longer a fan admiring her idol—the feelings she felt for him were genuine.
“Well, that is a coincidence.
I feel like we’re soulmates too.” Santiago beamed at Leia, looking like ahandsome prince.
“Well, then we…”
Leia scratched her head, not knowing what to do next.
“There’s no rush, we have time.
I know you wanted to mediate the conflict between Xavier and I when you chose Skylar last night, but I hope you’ll follow your heart and pick the one you want tonight.” Santiago didn’t want to pressure Leia, but he didn’t like the vague relationship they had right now.
He wanted to be with her in the open, and he also didn’t know if Leia could withstand Xavier’s flirtatiousness for much longer.
“Okay.” Leia nodded firmly.
“I’ll follow my heart tonight and won’t waver again.” After spending this time with Santiago, she was more certain of her feelings.
She wanted a relationship that was safe and peaceful, not an unstable roller-coaster ride.
Xavier was already awake when Leia and Santiago came down from the hill.
Currently, he had the most points, and had chosen to exchange his house with Leia.
He had already moved his luggage to Leia’s large villa, which came with two floors and four bedrooms facing the sea.
If Leia was nice to him, he didn’t mind giving her a room.
That way, they could live under the same roof, and the thought of it made him grin.
However, his grin instantly disappeared when he saw Leia and Santiago walking over, sweating and chatting happily.
He scowled and demanded, ” Where did you guys go?” “That’s none of your business, is it?” Leia sneered coldly.
“Fine, be that way.
I was just wondering if I should give you a room in this villa, but now…” Xavier rubbed his chin, pretending to look thoughtful.
Confused, Leia retorted, “Are you a child? I don’t mind the cottage since I’ll only be staying there for a few days.
After all, it has a nice view of the sky.” She shrugged, amused by Xavier’s childish behavior.
He was acting like a rich kid who wouldn’t befriend people who didn’t pamper him.
Instantly, Xavier’s confidence disappeared, and he didn’t know what to do.
He had planned to hold the villa as a bargaining chip, but now, Leia wasn’t interested.
Annoyed, he smirked and said lightly, “That’s true.
To be honest, I can’t bear to give that cottage up because that was where we laid in bed and watched the stars together.
It was pretty romantic.” “Xavier!” Leia’s jaw dropped and she glanced at Santiago guiltily.
However, Santiago just smiled and touched Leia’s hair gently.
” Come on, let’s go and have breakfast before we go snorkeling.
I heard that it’s beautiful under the sea, and I hope that we can enjoy it together.”
They went to a clear area near the island for snorkeling based on their agreement last night.
As they arrived at the island, Billy explained, “This island is called Heart Island because it’s heart- shaped, and thanks to its crystal-clear water, a lot of coral reefs and tropical fish are visible while snorkeling.
It’s a breathtaking view, and if you’re lucky, you might even find the special moonstone of this island.
Yes… it’s the kind of moonstone that lights up at night that we thought only existed in movies.” “Is there really a moonstone here?” Leia became excited when she heard that, and couldn’t wait to go snorkeling.
She’d heard that Heart Island housed oysters that made beautiful pearls that could be sold for sky-high prices, but the moonstone Billy talked about had always been just a legend.
According to the tales, people who found the moonstone on Heart Island would live a smooth and happy life, and if it was true, Leia wanted to find it and give it to Flossie.
“Of course! An islander here saw it many years ago.
Although it’s very rare, it’s there,” Billy patted his chest and said confidently.
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go!” Leia couldn’t wait any longer and boldly suggested, “Hey, why don’t we go scuba-diving instead? If we dive around five or six meters deep, we’ll havea greater chance of finding the moonstone.” “Agreed.” Xavier raised his hand and said, “Snorkeling is fun and all, but we can explore more of the area if we go diving.” “Same here.
My lungs are pretty good, and I can hold my breath for a few minutes underwater.” Skylar raised his hand in agreement too.
He had earned the nickname ‘The Flying Fish’ from winning many swimming matches, so naturally, he wasn’t afraid of underwater activities.
Santiago was the only one who remained silent throughout the discussion.
“What do you think, Mr.
Dalton? Do you want to go snorkeling or diving?” Billy asked Santiago, who was frowning uncomfortably.
“1…
I’ll go with whatever Lei wants.” Santiago was worried because he’d had a middle ear surgery before and couldn’t withstand strong pressure.
If he went any deeper than five meters underwater, it might be dangerous for him, but he reluctantly agreed to it because he didn’t want to miss a moment with Leia.
He’d always wanted to hold Leia’s hand and watch the starry sky with Leia in the sea, so he’d have to do this sooner or later.
“Okay, let’s sign the consent forms since you’ve all agreed to it.
Anyone who finds the moonstone will get a thousand points and enjoy a beach dinner with his or her crush!” Billy declared excitedly.
Leia rolled her eyes and grumbled, “You guys really know how to spike the view count.” After that, they went to the diving area and changed into their diving suits.
The diving instructor explained, “As you all know, we use a buddy system when diving because anything can happen underwater.
In case of an accident, our buddy might just save our life, so make sure your dive buddy is someone you’d trust with your life.” Xavier glanced at Santiago and sneered, “I’ll see you on the battlefield.” They had been fighting over Leia subtly, but this was the first time they would compete openly for her.
Dive buddies would rely on each other completely, and both of them wanted to be that person for Leia.
