Chapter 1293
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âYes!â
âNo!â
Xavier and Leia spoke at the same time.
Xavier wanted to stay in the same room as Leia, but Leia felt that it wasnât a good idea to get close to him since they had officially broken up with each other.
âUmm⦠itâs up to the both of you, I guess. Either way, wash up and rest well; thereâll be a grand welcoming feast for the both of you early tomorrow morning. If youâre not comfortable with the arrangementâ¦â Lily thought about it for a while, then pointed at a small thatched shed nearby.â Thereâs a cowshed over there. We can set up a bed there, and you can make do with it for one night. We donât suggest it though, because the cows are very stinky and may try to knock you down.â
âAre you serious?â Leia forced a smile, but was inwardly cursing. She knew that the conditions were hard at Happy Days, but surely it couldnât be so bad that she had to stay in a cow shed.
âItâs late. The both of you should head to bed, donât worry about usâ¦â Xavier hugged Leiaâs shoulders and smiled. âIâm sure youâve noticed that we have a somewhat âspecialâ relationship⦠Iâm sure weâll figure out the sleeping arrangements.â
âThereâs nothing special about our relationship! Stop spreading rumors, you idiot! People will get the wrong idea.â Leia tried to struggle out of his arms but he just hugged her tighter.
Xavier looked down at her, his gaze tender. âYouâre so stubborn, darling. Our relationship is really something else.â
Both Lily and Angelo watched them in understanding, and exchanged meaningful glances.
âOkay, we wonât disturb you then. Take your time to discuss it. There are brand-new toiletries in the room, and if youâre hungry, there are some snacks there too. Goodnight and sweet dreams.â
Angelo was still grinning and watching the fun, but Lily quickly pulled him away to give Xavier and Leia some privacy. She suspected from the beginning that the two were in a relationship, which was why she had suggested they stay in the same room.
Now, it seemed like her suggestion was exactly what Xavier wanted. When the time came, she was sure he would return the favor too.
That was how the entertainment industry worked.
âMiss Anderson, it seems like the rumor is true. Universal Entertainment does want to support another person, and Mr. Stuart clearly likes this woman very much. Maybe he brought her here to expose her to the public. Letâs include them in the shooting tomorrow and make her popular.â
âGreat idea!â Lily said enthusiastically. âI donât care who Shirleyâs new supporter is, but she canât rely on her old supporter now. We just need to curry favor with Xavier and help get him together with Miss Osborne.â
âOh, Iâm good at that. Leave it to me!â
They happily decided to focus the next few days of shooting on the two. They wanted to make Leia popular and help her get with Xavier.
Eventually, Xavier and Leia were the only ones left in the yard. They were still arguing about the sleeping arrangements.
âXavier, youâre a man, and Iâm a woman. Itâs inappropriate for us to stay in the same room, so I suggest you stay in the cowshed. I can help you set up the bed,â Leia said seriously.
Xavier looked at her helplessly. âWhy should I stay in the cowshed? What if the cows attack me while Iâm asleep? You can go and stay there. I donât want to.â While talking, he shamelessly walked into the only guest room.
âUgh, youâre really not a gentleman! Iâm a woman, you know. What happens to my privacy if I stay in the cowshed?â
