Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
That man was none other than Xavier.
Well, there were only a few families that could challenge her family in Beach City… And… And she bumped into a person from such a family. As expected, enemies were bound to meet one way or another.
For a moment, Leia felt defeated. She lowered her head and gulped down two sips of orange juice.
The captain led Xavier to Leia and said, “Sir, this lady wants to book the boat too. I’ll take whoever offers a higher price.”
“You’re very smart. Money does indeed resolve a lot of conflicts…”
Xavier was wearing a floral shirt, beach pants, and a pair of flip-flops. Although he had dressed humbly, he appeared very natural and casual, especially with the innate aura of a wealthy heir that he exuded. So, he appeared very noble and elegant. He did not at all look like a poor man.
At a glance, he saw Leia, who was sitting on a high chair, and unconsciously broke into a charming smile. “Naughty kitty, we meet again. If nothing happens between us, given our destiny, I’m afraid we’ll disappoint God.”
Leia glanced at him and said angrily, “Xavier, don’t you have anything else to do? Why did you stalk me instead of coaxing Shirley?”
“I didn’t stalk you.”
“Stop lying. If you didn’t stalk me, how would you know this dock and book this speedboat…”
Leia sighed, “I know I made a big joke today and sewed discord between you and Shirley. When I’m free, I’ll explain to her well. But please do me a favor and don’t mess with me today. I’m in a hurry. Can you let me have the speedboat?”
If it was someone else, she could resolve it by paying a great sum of money. However, it was Xavier. So, she soon became demotivated, as if she had lost all hope.
Not only did the Stuarts own more properties than the Osbornes, but most importantly, Xavier was the leader responsible for the wealth of his family. The amount of wealth that he could casually manage was, in no doubt, greater than a naive rich young lady like her.
So, she could not defeat him if she wanted to resolve the issue with money. She could only admit to her defeat.
“I didn’t stalk you. I’m in a rush, too, so I need to board this speedboat.”
Xavier was at a loss as he explained helplessly, “I won’t do such an outrageous and vulgar thing of stalking even if I like you. The best thing is that I don’t even like you. At least… I don’t hold any affection for you.”
His statement made her feel slightly awkward.
She never flattered herself that Xavier would fall in love with her. She just thought that he was messing with her just because of what happened that morning.
However, as a woman, she still felt rather defeated when he claimed that he did not like her at all.
‘Alas, am I that unattractive? I’ve been single for more than twenty years. The only love affair I had was with a liar.
‘Now even a frivolous playboy like Xavier, who generally accepts all kinds of women, claims that he dislikes me! What a dent to my self-esteem!’
“I don’t know what’s on your mind, but in short… No one can go to the island I’m going if not for the invitation from its master. You’re not about to tell me that you, too, have been invited by the island’s master?”
Leia tried her best to hide her disappointment and stay calm.
“I’m not sure if he’s the island master or not, but the gathering place he gave me is indeed in this location…”
Xavier was very smart. He soon understood the whole affair, so he asked with a profound meaning, “If my guess is right, the island master that invited you is… your bestie, Flossie?”
“How did you know? She wouldn’t have invited you. That’s impossible!”
Sun Island was a sacred place where Flossie and the children could live away from the world. For so many years, she had never told anyone about this place except for Leia and her brother.
If Flossie invited Xavier, it meant that she had exposed that utopia to Halston, Xavier’s buddy.
That was impossible.
“What a coincidence! The person who invited me is Halston, my buddy!”
Xavier answered generously while Leia was still confused.
“What?”
Leia suddenly exploded in a burst of wrath.
“That’s impossible!”
“I’m going to my bestie’s utopia,” Leia stressed. “She won’t expose it to others easily. How would that scumbag know? Are you trying to fool me?”
Xavier remained calm and smiled with a profound meaning. “Is there a possibility that Halston isn’t an outsider to your bestie?”
“If he’s not her outsider, then he is her enemy. She’ll never tell her enemy her last sacred place, so there must be… some kind of deception!”
“As for that, why don’t… you call and ask her?”
Putting both of his hands in his pockets, Xavier kindly reminded her.
Leia frowned. After a long hesitation, she took out her phone and exclaimed fiercely, “I’ll call my bestie now and expose your cunning scheme!”
Raising his brows, Xavier gestured for her to go on. “You’re more than welcome to do so.”
Soon Flossie answered the phone. When she learned that Leia happened to be with Xavier, she nearly screamed on the other end of the phone.
Flossie shouted, “Dang! There are a total of 197 countries in the world, but you still had to bump into each other. What a wonderful destiny! Hurry up and get together already. It’s written in the stars!”
Leia was struck speechless.
Flossie said, “Stop dilly-dallying! Hurry up and get on the island. The kids and I, as well as the kids’ dad, have long prepared a welcome feast for you two. We’ll be waiting for you!”
Leia asked, “The kids’ dad? Who is it? Could it be…”
Flossie answered, “All right, the signal here is bad. You two should come here now. Bye!”
Leia continued, “Wait, hello! Hello…”
There was a busy signal on the other end of the phone.
Xavier held back his smile and asked leisurely, “Well? Did you get it clear? Was there any deception involved?”
“Humph!”
Leia knew that she was in the wrong, so she ignored him and got up. She then sat at the rear of the boat with her arms across her chest.
On the other hand, Xavier boarded the boat calmly. He then sat across from Leia before he waved his hand at the captain. “Let’s go!”
Vroom! The speedboat sped toward the most spacious area of the ocean in the waves.
The sea area of Southern Aeos was not as flat and open as Osren or as luxurious and modern as Varangia. It was also not as desolate and cold as Antia. The mountains and seas there were intertwined with mountains overlapping each other. It even had a temperature of 57 Fahrenheit throughout the year, and it was beautiful and mysterious.
Leia lay on the railing of the speedboat to watch the scenery quietly. Her long hair became quite messy because of the breeze, but it gave her another kind of charm.
In the past four years, she had been to Sun Island many times. So, she was not as gratified as she was the first time when she witnessed that charming scenery now. She was relatively calm during the journey.
On the contrary, Xavier was different.
