"Eh, well…"
Renee tried to join their conversation but found that they were too engrossed in their conversation. She had no chance to get a word in.
Hence, she decided to leave first. "I'll leave you to your chat. Bye."
When she was back in the dining room, Quinton had almost finished cooking. He was now enthusiastically arranging the dishes on the table.
"Sis, you're home. You're just in time for the meal. Where's Xavier and Lei?"
"They're still chatting."
"What are they talking about? They're so engrossed in it."
"Er, they're discussing how to gain my heart."
Renee became quite helpless.
While arranging the dishes, Quinton's hands stiffened briefly. He asked tentatively, "What do you think of Xavier?"
"Although he's not very serious, he's a good man. He even saved my life."
"That's good. You can consider him."
"Oh, please. Quinton, why do you behave like Lei? Why do you keep setting me up with some random guy? Didn't you promise to take care of me for the rest of my life and ensure my safety without me getting married and pregnant?"
"That's true, but I hope that you can get a good lover. What's more, Xavier is Stefan's buddy. He should have a deep understanding of Stefan. Well, we'll get a higher chance of winning the battle after turning the friend of your enemy into our confidante."
Quinton raised a profound statement.
Both Xavier and Leia were back now. They were after the same target, so they were no longer at daggers drawn with each other now. In fact, they were at peace with each other.
He turned around and exchanged a look with Renee.
Suddenly, Renee was enlightened. She echoed his words, "It's fine. My taste has changed. I don't like prawns anymore. He doesn't have to peel it for me."
Xavier shrugged helplessly. He appeared to be sad. "Look, she doesn't even let me peel a prawn for her. She must feel that I have no right to do so. I'm such a loser."
When Leia saw his defeated look, she inevitably pitied him. So, she immediately did him the favor and ate the prawn. "People have different tastes. I'll eat it then."
"Great, I'll peel a few more for you."
Hence, Xavier, who claimed that he wanted to pursue Renee, peeled prawns for Leia one after another.
Sitting in the main seat, Quinton was flabbergasted and confused.
What was happening? Their relationships were too complicated!
