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.
“Hey what are you two doing? Come here! Let me introduce you!” Renee called Leia and Xavier over eagerly. “This is my brother Quinton. Brother this is my best friend and closest friend. Meet Leia the seventh daughter of the Osborne family.”
“And this…” Renee looked at Xavier unsure how to introduce him. After all Xavier was Stefan’s good friend. If Quinton knew this Xavier might be in danger.
Xavier however had a bright smile as he introduced himself without any concerns. “Hi. I’m Xavier. I’m a good friend of your brother-in-law Stefan. I’m also very close to Renee!”
Hearing that Quinton’s gentle smile turned strained. He had a complicated look on his face. “Oh Are you Xavier Stuart the only son of the Stuart family? Stefan’s good brother?”
“Yup that’s right! Do you know me?” Xavier started to talk about his achievements like an idiot “Speaking of which I may not be as famous as Stefan but I’ve done some great things… Do you know Carmine Pawnshop? It’s a powerful pawn shop. I spent a fortune and opened a similar company to compete against them. At last I managed to capture at least half of their customers. Stefan took advantage of this opportunity to beat up their boss back then…”
“Ahem!” Renee coughed hard trying to stop Xavier from talking any further. Xavier was really good at digging a grave for himself. He went for all the dangerous topics and offended Quinton repeatedly. Did he really want Quinton to kill him?!
Xavier continued to hit Quinton’s sore point. After that he even added “You look so gentle. What’s your profession? Are you a college teacher?”
Quinton put his hands in his pockets and said with a half-smile “I’m not a teacher. I actually run a small business.”
“Really? What kind of business? Are we in the same line of work?” Xavier asked enthusiastically.
“I’m in the pawn business.” Quinton added “I run a small pawn shop – Carmine Pawnshop.”
