He behaved like an unsophisticated tourist as he ceaselessly clicked away on the shutter of his professional camera. In truth, he vehemently admired the extremely beautiful oceanic view.
“This sea area is too awesome. It’s of a great standard, and the water is crystal clear. This is so much better than places like Lagooncall and Tahato…
“Well, Flossie is just mean. Instead of sharing such a beautiful place, she’s hoarding it all to herself. What a waste of a natural treasure!
“Come on, naughty kitty! After all, we’re free. Let’s take a selfie!”
Xavier enthusiastically turned on the ultra-high pixel camera on the screen of his phone and extended his arm. He then leaned his head on her shoulder. With a click, he snapped a picture.
Leia became confused.
Sooner rather than later, her face turned cold and gloomy.
‘Is he really as dumb as a dog? If he isn’t, how is he always so foolish and happy-go-lucky all the time?
‘He’s a rich heir. It’s fine if he likes to take selfies, but he even made a peace sign while taking selfies. It’s so unsophisticated. He looks so foolish that people can’t hate him at all.
Click! Click! Click!
Xavier was completely unbothered by Leia’s gloomy face. He excitedly took a few dozen photographs before he started picking and editing the photographs with satisfaction and had them up on social media in no time.
“I’ll upload a post on Facebook. If not, my buddies will think that I’m dead.”
He purposely picked a photograph in which Leia gave the most cooperation. He did not even edit it before he happily posted it on Facebook.
He even added a caption.
“My wonderful island trip with my world-weary buddy.”
Of course, there was no way Leia could see that.
Although they knew each other since they were young… they were strangely not friends on Facebook up until now.
Leia pretended for less than half an hour. At last, she could not hold herself back, so she asked Xavier directly, “I want to ask you something. Your buddy, Halston… Er… Could it be that he and Flossie…”
“What?”
Xavier had long foreseen that Leia would ask about that, so he leaned against the railing of the speedboat easily. He seemed to have long prepared to resolve her doubt.
“Don’t play dumb with me. Just be frank. Did my bestie repeat a disastrous mistake with that scumbag buddy of yours?”
“Of course, it’s not repeating a disastrous mistake. They’re just patching up old wounds…”
When he reached that point, his smile became slightly complicated. In his regret, he gave them his blessing. “I’ve long known that they would not end things between them so easily. So, isn’t it within expectation to see them getting back together?”
“It was f*cking unexpected!”
Leia became so anxious that she cursed. She blinked her large and witty eyes ceaselessly. “That scumbag must have used some cunning schemes to force my bestie to agree. I hope that he’s not on Sun Island. If he’s there, I will…”
“What will you do?”
“I’ll strike him and make him fruitless. After that, I’ll make him kneel before my bestie and make it up for the hurt he caused her all these years!”
“Wow, bravo! I’m looking forward to it!”
Xavier grinned and clapped with a tinge of unnoticeable adoration in his eyes.
Undeniably, Leia was always so serious every time she brought up those lousy affairs between Halston and Flossie. Besides, she seemed like she was about to flare up in a rage at any minute.
Could it be the power of the top fan of Halston and Flossie’s love after she stopped being their fan? How interesting!
The speedboat sailed rapidly for nearly two hours. At last, it reached the dock of Sun Island.
It was dusk, and the setting sun painted the blue ocean with streaks of orange and red. Coupled with the roaring waves, it only reaffirmed the calmness and peacefulness that one could find on that island.
“Lei!”
Flossie had long been waiting at the dock. When she saw Leia disembark from the speedboat, she waved excitedly.
“Flossie, I miss…”
Leia’s smile stiffened the minute she saw Halston, who entwined his fingers with Flossie’s.
‘What the hell? This scumbag has the audacity to be here?!’
Xavier also disembarked from the speedboat. He nudged Leia, who was frozen on the spot. At the same time, he suggested eagerly, “Go on! Strike him. Make him fruitless.”
Leia was struck speechless.
She remained quiet and motionless as if she had been petrified.
Xavier walked to Halston, looking at the charming, lovey-dovey couple in front of him. Strangely, his handsome and bright face seemed solemn and gloomy. With a sentimental vibe, he whined, “Halston, you sure are awesome. I just went on a trip, but you guys turned hostility to love and made up with each other. As expected… no matter how skillful one is, one is no better than a talented person like you.”
Halston was so gripped in a state of deep love that he acted as if he was Eros. He was not as cold and distant as he was before. On the contrary, his whole being radiated with the light of love and peace.
“B*stard, stop teasing me. It’s all because of my deep sincerity that she changed her mind. Keep this in mind. Sincerely is the key to love!”
After he said that, he hugged Xavier with one arm and whispered in his heart, “Leia is kind and magnanimous. She’s much more reliable than that woman called Shirley. You should grab hold of this chance and don’t make me lose face in front of my wife.”
Xavier raised his brows in enlightenment. “So, that’s why you and Flossie went to so much trouble waiting for me here?”
“What tone is that? Are you dissatisfied?”
Halston knitted his brows deeply and said in a commanding presence, “My wife is exceptionally charming and excellent. Of course, her bestie can’t be any worse. Don’t tell me you despise her, huh?”
“No, I don’t. It’s just that I didn’t expect that you obey your wife so. You force me, the first kiss*ss in Beach City, to admit defeat.”
Xavier was greatly amused by his buddy, who was so obedient toward his wife.
Hence, he inevitably threw Flossie an admiring look. He then smiled faintly and stated, “Flossie, as expected, your charm is boundless. I’m sure no men in this world can resist that…”
“Thank you. Stop flattering me. I was too young and inexperienced, so I was tricked by your buddy. Now we even have two kids. I might as well make do with it.”
Flossie waved her hands. Although she appeared reluctant, she could not hide the joy and gentleness in her eyes.
“Since you’d just make do with it, why didn’t you make do with me instead?”
Xavier broke into a frivolous smile, and his charming eyes became quite bewitching as he said ambiguously, “I made a bet with Halston four years ago, and you were nearly mine…”
“Oh?”
Flossie immediately became curious as she immediately asked, “What kind of bet was that? Tell me.”
However, Halston maintained a cold expression and warned Xavier grumpily. “It happened so long ago, so there’s no need to mention it. Don’t forget that you’re talking about your buddy’s wife.”
