Chapter 1408

"Damn, enemies really are destined to meet!" Leia groaned when she realized Xavier and her had both picked red

balls. Just when she wanted to get away from Xavier, destiny decided to mess with her. If this had been one of his

schemes, she would have refused, but it genuinely was a random result. She would only look pretentious and

spoiled if she made a fuss, so she resigned herself to silent fuming.

"Well, fate has spoken! You can't say no." Smiling victoriously, Xavier tapped Leia's ball with his. "Hello, my boat

partner."

'Watch it, or I might just kick you off the boat when we're in the middle of the sea," Leia growled under her breath.

"It's okay, I can catch up to you even if you do. You may not know it but I was once the champion of freestyle

swimming," Xavier boasted, completely unbothered by Leia's aloofness. He firmly believed that the law of the

jungle was the truth, and would do everything in his power to win. To him, his love for Leia was more important than

his dignity.

As he watched them, Santiago smiled and commented lightly, "Fate or not, compatibility is what matters most. It's

just a one-hour ride anyway." After that, he looked at Leia. "Just hold on for a while; I'll be waiting for you on the

shore."

"Okay, Mr. Dalton. My heart is with you even if I'm on another boat. Please wait for me!" Wiping away her tears,

Leia waved her white handkerchief exaggeratedly as if she was being kidnapped by pirates.

"Don't worry. I'll wait for you until the end of time," Santiago said tenderly, his gaze gentle.

"Ugh, stop being a hypocrite! It's all fake!" Xavier scoffed as he shoved his hands in his pockets.

"You know nothing. It's for the show. Hmph!" Leia brushed past Xavier and got onto the boat, her nose in the air.

Xavier followed closely behind her and held her shoulders. "Be careful, my dear. I'd be heartbroken if you fell and

hurt yourself."

Gritting her teeth, Leia huffed. "Stop pretending."

Shrugging, Xavier replied with a smirk, "It's for the show."

At that moment, the cameras were on, and everything they said and did was being broadcasted to the viewers.

Just before the boat was started, Leia whispered to Xavier, "Behave yourself. This is a live show, so don't humiliate

yourself in front of the whole world."

Xavier smiled affectionately as he stared at her beautiful face. "I don't understand. What exactly can't I do?"

Leia rolled her eyes. "Isn't it obvious? Do I need to spell it out for you?"

"You mean something like... kissing you?" Xavier murmured softly, then leaned down and kissed Leia's lips.
