The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 1397

Xavier's sudden participation in the show unsettled Leia, and she even felt like withdrawing from the show.

Santiago noticed Leia's discomfort, and leaned in to whisper in her ear, "Do you want to leave? I can run away with you if you want to."

"Yes, I do… but Mr. Jiminez will kill us if we do. Plus..." Looking up at him, Leia said shyly, "I don't want to lose this chance to spend time together with you."

Santiago smiled warmly at her. "Don't be afraid then. He's just another guest, and we can always ignore him."

"Heh. I didn't expect you to be such an easygoing person, Mr. Dalton," Leia laughed, and she and Santiago continued chatting happily, turning the atmosphere lively again.

"You guys are already whispering to each other? Aren't things moving too fast? You'd better save all that for filming and sign the contract first." Adam had long noticed how close Santiago and Leia were becoming, and wanted to use this show to get them together. Unfortunately, Xavier had come out of nowhere, and Adam had no idea how things would go now.

At last, both Leia and Santiago signed the contract, and they would start filming for the show three days later.

Before leaving, Leia reluctantly said goodbye to Renee. She grabbed Renee's hand and said miserably, "I'll be away for a while, Ren. Take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back!"
