If Xavier and Liam ever bumped into each other in public, they'd usually be at each other's throats.
Liam was wearing casual clothes at the moment, and his skin was tanned. He even had a brown cowboy hat on his head, complimenting his carefree look. He narrowed his eyes, sizing Xavier up before he stared at Leia solemnly. "I think you should see an eye specialist, sister dearest. Do you realise that man over there is the infamous playboy of Beach City who's fooled around with countless women? Even if you can't marry yourself off, you don't have to lower your standards this much."
"No, you don't understand!" Leia stomped her feet and retorted angrily, "Being a playboy is just a pretence, he's actually a loyal man! I know we were prejudiced against him earlier because of Ren, but you can’t say that about him now!"
"Tsk! Women are bound to side with their men. How long have you been dating him? Are you both planning to elope?"
"Ugh, you wouldn't understand. What we have is true love, so you can't make things difficult for him!" Leia stood before Xavier, fearing that her cunning brother would hurt her beloved man.
"True love?" Liam raised his brows with a scornful expression. He looked over Leia's head and said to Xavier, "And what do you have to say about this? Are you planning to hide behind my sister's skirts while she defends you?"
Xavier stated coldly, "I have nothing to say. You're right—I'm just an infamous playboy in Beach City. What could I possibly know about true love?"
Consequently, both Xavier and Liam were at a loss for words.
Leia used a handkerchief to wipe away the blood on Xavier's face. When she saw that his nose was fine, she heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank God your nose is okay. Don't worry, I still love you."
Liam smacked his forehead with an exasperated groan. "Woman, can you have some dignity? I thought I was a kiss-ass, but you're worse than me. What's wrong with this family?"
