The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 1294

While complaining, Leia hurried to follow Xavier.

The only bedroom looked rather ordinary. There was an old wooden bed, and although there was a new mattress on it, the room had bumpy floors and a leaking roof. It was not much better than the cowshed. The most horrible thing was that one had to use the water prepared in the tank for washing up—there was no tap water or hot water. Water had to be boiled on the spot if one wanted to take a bath and wash their face. It was extremely inconvenient.

"I get why Shirley did that now..." Leia swallowed. "We can't blame her for being a diva. It's not easy to stay here."

"I think this place is pretty good." Xavier accepted his fate and flopped down onto the bed leisurely. He put his arms under his head and smiled contentedly. "The bed is rather soft, and we can look at the stars. How romantic!"

"Is that so? Coincidentally, I'm allergic to romance," Leia said grumpily. She pulled a chair over and sat down on it cross-legged, as if she was meditating. "Leave me alone. Life is a journey of self-cultivation, so I'll stay like this tonight."

Xavier noticed how miserable she looked, and smiled at her warmly. "Just tolerate it since you're here. As long as we're together, it'll be alright. Even hell seems like heaven this way."

"Ugh! I haven't eaten. Don't disgust me." Leia rolled her eyes and turned to look at him. She could not figure out when he became so corny.

Xavier remained silent before he sat up in bed. "Do you want to wash up? I'll boil some water for you."

"Are you sad? Why are you crying?" Leia saw how red and watery his eyes were, and felt sorry for him. But at the same time, the situation was also pretty amusing.

"I'm not crying! It's because I burned the firewood. Aren't you moved by my dedication and gentlemanliness?"

"Yes, I'm moved. You're indeed here to suffer." Leia fought back a smile and patted his shoulders. "Although you're a beast most of the time, sometimes you look like a human too. I'll remember this favor and repay you when I get the chance."

"You can repay me now!" Xavier took a step forward, looking determined. "You just need to repay me with your body." He felt that both he and Leia were too pretentious. They cared about each other, but they made things so complicated. After holding himself back for a day, he decided to be honest and confess his feelings.
