"I want to but I don't know if Xavier..." Shirley looked at Xavier expectantly.
"You don't have to ask him—the whole city knows that he's your number one fan. He's been running around like your servant for so many years, so I'm sure he's long wanted to marry you. You don't have to ask him," Leia glanced at Xavier and said enthusiastically.
Xavier pursed his lips and made no reply. He just stared at Leia indifferently.
"Isn't that true, Mr. Stuart? Miss White made such a bold statement, so shouldn't you express your thoughts on the matter?" Leia turned the conversation to Xavier, but did not dare to look at him out of guilt. She did not know what was on her mind. She was sad, but she pretended to be unconcerned. She did not want them to get back together with each other, but she kept making things worse. She must be crazy.
"What else can I say? You're so good at talking, so you can help me say everything." Xavier had been watching Leia the whole time, looking displeased.
Leia was angry, but he was angrier. No one wanted to see their beloved enthusiastically push them to someone else.
"It'll bring me nothing good. I said I won't meddle in it. What else do you want me to do? Do you want me to get down on my knees and say sorry for being a busybody?" Leia turned around and glared at him, her eyes slightly teary. Her actions were indeed baffling and embarrassing from an outsider's point of view. Leia had never felt so humiliated in a relationship before.
