The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 1136

The instant Leia opened the door and saw the interior, her expression of anticipation stiffened on her face.

Within the 300 square feet room, all the walls were covered in huge posters of Shirley White, the recently crowned best actress.

It was not just posters—everything from magazine covers, figurines, and photo albums of Shirley was there!

It was as if the huge room was a realm that Shirley ruled, the shrine of a zealous devotee!

Just as Leia thought, Xavier loved Shirley—to him, Shirley would always be the one who got away.

Even as her heart seemed to clench, Leia stopped at the doorway and turned away, closing the door firmly behind her.

At the same time, sizzling could be heard from the kitchen—the crayfish was soon cooked, and Xavier carried two plates full of crayfish. Five pounds were seasoned with pepper, while the other five were seasoned with lemon, all served with two large cans of beer.

"Come on, eat up!" He exclaimed cheerfully.

Leia took a deep breath, composing herself despite her disappointment, and walked up with a smile, her eyes glowing as she stared at the red crayfish filling the plates to the brim, steaming and sizzling.

"Goodness, it smells so good," she gushed. "Be honest—your real profession is a chef, isn't it? Showbiz tycoon is just a side job."

"You flatter me. I actually just learned it," Xavier smiled, passing her a pair of gloves before remembering something and quickly saying, "Wait, weren't you allergic to shrimp? Are you sure you can eat this?"

"I'm just allergic to shrimp. Crayfish live in freshwater, so they're not seafood. There are no problems there," Leia replied as she picked up a steaming crayfish still dripping with sauce, peeling it and chomping down. "Mmmhmm. I can already tell this is fantastic from just one bite!"

It would not lose out to crayfish cooked by Michelin chefs.

"Take your time. There's plenty," Xavier said, watching her with a tender smile and quietly peeling off the crayfish one after another, even skewering them for her.
