The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 1255

Leia's words infuriated Xavier, and he growled at her, "Really? Is that what you think?"

"As if you didn't say the same about me!" Leia protested.

"We've been a couple for a while now, so don't you know how I feel about you? Are you just going to believe whatever people say when they try to sow discord between us?" Xavier's words were sharp. He felt that his relationship with Leia was different from what he had with Shirley. He and Leia were soul mates who loved each other; their love was simple and fervent, and couldn't be shaken by others… But now, Shirley had so easily created a rift between them.

Maybe the relationship wasn't as deep as he thought… Maybe he was just a nobody to Leia. Though he was hoping for reassurance, Leia's next words disappointed him even more.

"Yeah, I think Shirley is more rational than me. She was right, you know—you did sacrifice everything for her. She was your first love that you adored greatly, and I... Well, I'm just another one of your flings. This is only temporary. I can accept it, so I hope you can do the same." Leia refused to admit defeat, especially when it came to love. The reason she had dived into her work after she started dating Xavier was because of her insecurity. After all, he was a famous playboy who had dated all kinds of women. If she wanted to keep him around, she had to make herself irreplaceable.

At first, she thought she could have the upper hand in the relationship as long as she worked hard enough, but now, she felt she was just deceiving herself. He was nice to whoever he loved, even if that person was useless. Shirley was the perfect example of that.
