The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 973

The dialogue between the two siblings made Leia feel a little jealous. Their conversation touched her.

Leia wiped her tears and bumped Xavier with her elbow. "Look at them! How touching… Ren rarely relies on other people, so her brother must be a really good person. I'm so envious!"

Xavier was the only child and could not understand such sibling love. He frowned, looking confused. "Don't you have a brother? Isn't your brother the same?"

"No way. I've been fighting with my brother since we were young. He always insults me and calls me names. He always says no one will ever want me, and I will never get married. He says I must equip myself with more skills, or I'll starve to death!" Leia whined.

Leia could not stop whenever she complained about Liam. "Did you know he used to trick me when I was a kid? I handed my pocket money to him for safekeeping, but when I asked him for it, he asked me to pay a service fee. I had to give him two dollars to retrieve a dollar of pocket money. In the end, he took away a big chunk of my pocket money, and I ended up owing him money. Have you seen such a terrible brother?"

"Pfft!" Xavier could not help laughing. "You were stupid enough to give your pocket money to him, so how can you blame anyone else for it?"

"How dare you! You may not sympathise with me, but how can you laugh at my misery? Do you know how much I suffered in my miserable childhood?" Leia burst out, pouting.

"Hahaha. It's okay, I'm here now. He can't hurt you anymore." Xavier rubbed the woman's head, a soft and doting smile on his face.

Leia fell silent. Her cheeks flushed as the two looked at each other bashfully. Leia and Xavier had worked together to take care of Adie and Abby on Sun Island. During that time, they seemed to have developed feelings for each other, but neither confessed or took the initiative to make a move.

Xavier had been flirting with her daily but never made a proper confession. Leia constantly warned herself not to fall for him. She kept telling herself that Stefan was a jerk, so his best friend Xavier would not be any better.
