Someone carried Leia out of the pond and into the house. She heard the door creak, and then she was gently lowered down.
"Eh, Mr. Dalton, where did you take me to? Did you take me to a room? Well, I feel quite shy since we're alone in a room. Haha!" She closed her eyes and stood there obediently. Although she claimed that she was shy, she could not suppress her smile.
'Oh, my goodness! This is the idol I've admired for so many years. I'd be more than happy to be in the same room with him even if we do nothing.'
But he was indeed aloof. He carried her and said nothing, and she could even feel his cold aura. After a while, she heard footsteps again. He stood before her and used a wet towel to gently wipe her eyes and cheeks, attentive and gentle.
Leia blushed and said shyly, "I'm not worthy to have you wipe my face for me like this… If your fans learn about this, they'll beat me up!"
"Hmph, you seem fine now, but why can't you walk when it comes to him?" A voice said condescendingly.
Leia was confused and carefully opened her eyes. To her surprise, it was Xavier who stood before her. Her expression instantly turned sullen, and she asked grumpily, "Why are you here?"
"Who else would it be?" He snorted. "Who else would take such great care of you? I carried you out of the pond and wiped your face, but you rolled your eyes at me."
"Where's Mr. Dalton? What did you do to him?" Leia looked around and found that they were in the room they arrived in on the first night. The door was closed tightly, and they were the only ones in the room. Santiago was nowhere to be found.
"Which pretentious jerk?" Leia was baffled. She now realized that men were worse than women when they mocked others.
"Nothing. You won't give up if you don't suffer, so I won't try to persuade you either." Xavier lifted his chin arrogantly and left the room before Leia.
"How strange!" Leia watched his back, thinking that men were the hardest creatures to understand. He claimed that she would never give up if she didn't suffer, but she felt he should be taking that advice instead.
Everyone in Happy Days could see what a scheming snake Shirley was, so why couldn't he?
