Chapter 747
Seeing that she was acting a little vigilant and hostile against herself, Xyla laughed and explained elegantly and
politely,” There’s no need for you to be so wary of me, Ms. Hill. I won’t do anything to harm you. I’m here just to
talk to you.”
It was still raining outside, and the atmosphere in the room was stagnant for a moment as Ryleigh’s eyelids
drooped. “You want me to leave Louis, don’t you? Don’t worry, I won’t snatch him from you as soon as my
engagement with him is canceled.”
‘Rather than waiting for somebody else to come up to me and make irresponsible remarks in the future, I might as
well give it to her
straight now.’
Xyla looked at her for a long time, lowered her head, and chuckled. “I really thought so before I came back to
Zlokova.”
She looked out of the window, and a hint of loneliness flashed across her eyes. “I had been with him for six years,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand I thought that even though he had broken up with me, I’d still have the opportunity to stay by his side after
returning to Zlokova.”
Ryleigh was stunned for a split second and looked at her with a bewildered expression.
The emotions surging in Xyla’s eyes looked lonely and helpless. She looked at Ryleigh and explained, “Take this as a
tiny tip from me to you. I once spent six years being next to him, and I still couldn’t get him to accept me into his
world.”
Xyla had first seen Louis’ performance in a musical theater, and she had admired him since then.
It could be said that she was the one who had taken the initiative to court Louis actively. It was not that he had
never rejected her. It was just that she did not want to give up right off the bat, and he might have given her a
chance back then only because of her persistence.
Louis had always been the passive one between the two of them. She had even tried to learn how to play the violin
and understand his preferences in order to impress him someday in the future.
Unfortunately, she could not help but admit that-between her and Louis-she would never catch up with him no
matter how hard she tried.
Even though she had taken all the steps to get into his world, he had never taken even one step toward her.
Xyla was not reconciled to the fact that she still could not get what she wanted after all those things that she had
done.
Ryleigh pursed her lips and looked at her sympathetically. “Uh, Ms. Mayweather, it’s pointless for you to tell me this.
Louis and I, we wouldn’t even have gotten to know each other if it weren’t for our families’ arrangements.”
Xyla sneered wryly. “You’re rejecting such a good man who’s been delivered right up to you without even giving him
a chance, while the same man that I desperately want to be with has never loved me.”
She walked up to the chair next to the hospital bed and sat down. “Do you still remember when you first met
Louis?”
“Me?”
Ryleigh thought about it carefully and said,
“I think it was three years ago?”
‘Although the relationship between the Hills and the Lucases has always been rather close-knitted, it’s only limited
to the connections that the elders of both
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfamilies share. As for the both of us, I’ve never seen or heard of Louis before that.’
Xyla lowered her gaze. “But he saw you a long time ago.”
Ryleigh was a little gobsmacked and puzzled. “B-But I don’t know about that.”
“I’ve said everything that I think I have to say.” Xyla stood up slowly, stopped when she was at the door, about to
leave, and turned her head to look at Ryleigh. “I really do envy you.”
‘She envies me?’
Ryleigh looked at Xyla’s back when she left the ward and lowered her head as something crossed her mind.
‘She actually didn’t cause me any trouble this time around but only uttered those baffling words?’
It was raining outside, and it was boring to stay in the ward, so Ryleigh went out to the corridor for some free air.
As soon as she got out, she happened to see Louis coming out of his ward. The two looked at each other.
Ryleigh’s mind went blank again in a snap of a finger as if a certain scene had fully occupied it. Her cheeks flushed,
and she quickly turned around, got back into the wards, and closed the door.
She leaned against the door, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Why? Just why?!
Louis’s voice sounded from the other side of the door all of a sudden as he asked, “Do you want McNuggets?”
