Chapter 1307
It was a very normal statement, but Leia could tell that Shirley was provoking her. She didn't know if she was overthinking it, but
that kind of gaze disgusted her.
"It seems like I came at the wrong time. I don’t want to disturb you, so I'll go now..." Leia bit her lip and kept her head low as she
was about to leave.
"No, it's fine." Xavier let go of Shirley and said to Leia coldly, "You caused such a great accident. Don't you want to
resolve it?" He was on Leia's side but he could not favor her at a moment like this. Firstly, he didn't want to spoil her.
Secondly, he didn't want to make Shirley jealous in case she decided to take revenge on Leia.
Leia assumed that he was sorry for his first love, and bitterness and envy overwhelmed her. She didn't want to retreat, so she
braced herself and walked into the ward before asking Shirley, "You know very well that I didn't push you down the hill on
purpose, but I won't try to shift the blame either. So, what is it you want? Medical fee? A public apology? Or something else?"
Leia was blunt because she already anticipated that Shirley would find fault with her.
"It's fine. I know that you didn't do it on purpose, so I discussed it with Xavier and decided to let it go. I won't hold you responsible
for it either. Of course... I did it because of Xavier." While talking, Shirley looked at Xavier tenderly and smiled sweetly. "I have to
thank you though. We're able to see our true feelings in hard times. At first, there was some unresolved tension between Xavier
and me, but when I saw how worried he was about me, those misunderstandings were naturally resolved. We can still be best
friends and soulmates who knew each other best like in the past. Am I right... Xavier?"
Xavier clenched his fists but did not deny it. He said lightly," Just let bygones be bygones. I hope that we can get along with each
other well like in the past."
"Like in the past..." Leia snorted. It was unknown whether she was laughing at Xavier or herself. "Both Xavier and Shirley were
an acknowledged couple in the circle. A rich, young heir and an innocent female star... What a romantic setting! I was so
jealous!"
"I thought so too! I didn't realize how important it was until I lost it, but now I know." Shirley grinned happily, her large eyes
making her look innocent. She started reminiscing about the past. "I recalled how ignorant I was when I first joined the
entertainment circle. My family was still waiting for my money to save them. I wanted to sell myself to others and I nearly died on
a table of an underground business at Water Dock. Xavier came and saved me like a prince in a fairytale. He helped me pay off
my family's debts and hired famous doctors to cure my family..."
"Really? How romantic! We can't even find such a romantic storyline in novels. Why haven't you guys tied the knot yet? If you
promised him earlier, you might be Mrs. Stuart now, and you'd probably have kids too. What a pity!" Leia knew that Shirley was
purposely showing off, so she suppressed her pain and played along.
Shirley blushed, and tucked her hair behind her ear shyly." You can't say that. It depends on our fate. Maybe Xavier and I hadn't
come to that stage yet back then..."
"I think the time has come now, so you guys should get ready to take the next step. This is a good year. Work hard and you may
even get a baby. How cute!" Leia behaved like a matchmaker, and spoke excitedly as if she wanted to make it happen.
