The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei
Chapter 1838

Chapter 1838

Undeniably, Shirley had raised Xavier's biggest concern. He knew what kind of person he was; If he acted on a whim and hurt Leia, he wouldn't be able to bear it. Time passed, and everyone was waiting for Xavier's next move... But in the end, he didn't say a thing.

"What a coward!" Having lost her patience, Leia swung open the door and left. She went to the washroom and splashed some cold water on her face. She looked at herself in the mirror, angry at the emotions in her eyes. She slapped herself fiercely. "You're a fool, Leia Osborne! You fall for the same trap over and over again!" After calming herself down, she turned around and exited the washroom.

A familiar figure was standing outside, and he smiled gently at her. "Lei, it's been a while."

When Leia saw the man, her eyes widened in delight. "Mr. Dalton, you... you're finally back! That's great!" Previously, their relationship had been progressing towards something more than friends, but she hadn't paid attention to it because of Xavier's meddling and Renee's issues. Later, Santiago had gone on a business trip to Stiygro to shoot a movie, so they hadn't been in touch for two weeks now. Leia had been an admirer of his for a long time, but she didn't dare to wish for anything more between them. Nonetheless, it was a pleasant surprise to meet him again here. "I thought I wouldn't see you again!" Before she realized what she was doing, Leia threw her arms around his neck and burst into tears, behaving like an aggrieved child who finally saw their parents.

Santiago held her helplessly, nervously asking, "What happened, Lei? Why are you crying?"

"I... I guess I missed you too much." Leia was shocked by her actions and immediately let go of Santiago, putting some distance between them. She wiped away her tears awkwardly and mumbled, "There are too many bad guys in the world, and I get angry and cry because of them." She hadn't cried this much since she was a child, and it was all thanks to Xavier. How dare a coward like him make her cry? He wasn't worthy of her tears... She would never cry for him again! It was unacceptable!

"Are you saying that you're angry at a bad guy? Is that why you cried?" Santiago asked gently, smiling at her dotingly. He touched her head and said comfortingly, "There, there. This world is like... a giant delivery station, and people are either big or small parcels. You can't cry for all of them-it's unnecessary."

"Pfft!" Leia burst into laughter when she heard that. "Mr. Daltond didn't expect you to be so funny. It's so unlike you!"

"I can do it as long as it makes you happy." Santiago's expression turned " serious as he said, "Girls' tears are like pearls, so you shouldn't cry for

people who don't deserve them."
