The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Leia froze, feeling as if every fiber of her being was jolted while her heart raced.
She turned towards Xavier and feigned nonchalance as she scoffed. “I have to give it to
you-you really know your way around a girl’s heart. But I’m immune now, so just spare me.’
In fact, it was almost a habit for him to flirt-to speak ambiguously, then make a clean break
from her when she was lost in love. When that happened, she would not even cry...
Hah! That was why no matter how much her heart raced for him-no matter how much she
loved him, she was not about to fall for the same trap.
All those ambiguous words, stirring emotions, and enigmatic affection? She would rather
live without those!
“Really? What a shame...” Xavier trailed off.
However, a hunter as experienced as he understood that Leia was just being obstinate and
not actually eager to leave.
As such, he walked up to her, staring at her dainty, fresh face as he wiped the pepper sauce
staining the corner of her lips, and said slowly, “Ruthless, aren’t you? Leaving just as I finally
found my resolve to get in the game.”
Leia’s heart pounded, a little deflated as she gulped, “What do you mean, ’ get in the
game’?”
“I, Xavier Stuart, sincerely invite you, Miss Leia Osborn, to clean this messy room of mine
and be my new guest.”
“W-What are you talking about, cleaning my room? What do you take me for If

Before she could finish, Xavier had leaned in to kiss her in the next instant- gently, briefly,
and innocently. His eyes were closed as he locked his lips against hers with focus and
tenderness, his long, thick eyelashes brushing against her cheek like how a butterfly’s wings
would flutter.
It was a strange coincidence of metaphors since Leia did feel butterflies in her stomach, and
she felt like she could take flight-her toes and fingers stiffened as she stood there, her mind
going blank as if she had been sealed within a bottle.
Nonetheless, she could not help closing her eyes and answering his kiss.
As he pulled away reluctantly after a long while, he asked with a raspy voice and a light
tone, “Is this definitive enough for you?”
Fiery passions seemed to linger in the air, leaving it steaming and charged with excitement.
Leia pursed her lips and shyly lowered her head, not unlike a virgin that just had a taste of
the forbidden fruit, as she murmured meekly, “l-l think so..”
“Good. Then don’t let your mind wander anymore, and feel with your heart,” Xavier told her
solemnly.
Though he was certainly unreliable and almost too used to charminghaving decks of
premeditated conversation at the ready to bewitch the ladies, he was somehow clumsy now
that he got serious, and his charm seemed to fly out of the window.
Still, Leia found everything so hard to believe and looked up at him with seriousness in her
eyes. “You kissed me... Does that mean you love me?”

Xavier nodded. “Yes. I kissed you, and I love you—I want to start a meaningful relationship
with you.”
He did not run away this time and gave her a definitive answer.
“Oh, you finally came around! My faith is really rewarded!” Leia exclaimed in joy, not holding
back at all just then as he eagerly wrapped her arms around his neck. ’So? Was kissing me
beautiful? Is your heart racing?”
“Hmm...” Xavier frowned in thought for a while before saying seriously, “It’s a little spicy.”
“Haha! That’s spicy? Don’t you know that I’m feeling embarrassed about this?”
“Well, it really was spicy... Just like pepper crayfish.”
The man held back a laugh as he confessed his true feelings.
Her lips were soft, but the taste of spiciness lingered since she had so much pepper
crayfish.
It was memorable, just like she was to him.
“Oh, you mean that?! I’m so embarrassed I could die!” Leia buried her face behind her
palms, feeling so embarrassed she needed to hide right then.
“It’s alright,” Xavier chuckled. “That sort of spiciness applies too. I have faith in your
potential.”
