“Bah, you really are the king of playboys and jerks. So, what you’re saying is that you don’t really like Leia, and you’re just messing around with her out of habit?” Renee questioned sharply. She had to confirm Xavier’s feelings for Leia before she could help Leia make her choice.
“I don’t want to answer this.” There was a subtle uneasiness under Xavier’s nonchalance. He looked at Renee indifferently and said “You’re not my girlfriend so I’m not obligated to tell you about my feelings.”
“Don’t try to evade this with your playfulness Xavier. Answer my question if you’re a man. I know you’re not a real playboy you’re just disguising yourself.” Renee had hit the nail on the head. She still remembered that he nearly died in the fire to save her. No matter how vile he pretended to be he could not hide his true self as a brave and responsible man.
“What does it have to do with you? Your righteous indignation may make me misunderstand you.”
“Huh? What do you mean?
“What do you think?”
Still behaving casually Xavier advanced slowly toward Renee then tilted up her chin and smiled slyly. “A man might misunderstand that a woman likes him if she cares too much about him… I had feelings for you once you know. Now that you’re single again my feelings for you might be easily rekindled!”
“You… you’re crazy!” His words gave Renee goosebumps and she pushed him away hard. ‘Damn it it’s just like what Lei told me. He is just a playboy who likes to flirt – his mind cannot be read.’
“I’m warning you – I don’t care about your reasons but if you really have feelings for Lei you’d better confess to her as soon as possible. She might look like a carefree person but she is very sensitive inside. Her previous relationship was traumatic so she can’t afford to be hurt again. If you have no
feelings for her stop flirting with her. She will take it seriously and it will hurt her later on!” Renee warned Xavier seriously.
His eyes darkened and he asked “What happened to her previous relationship? Tell me about it.”
“Why are you curious about it?” Renee smiled thoughtfully. “When a man cares a lot about a woman doesn’t it mean that he has feelings for her?”
Xavier did not admit or deny it and continued “Was her ex a jerk? What did he do to her?”
“Um how should I put it? He is a highly-educated elite very gentlemanly and elegant and very smart. Lei liked him a lot…”
“Hah an elegant and smart elite…” He sounded very disdainful and even his gaze exuded hostility. He sneered “So that’s the kind of guy she likes?”
“Yeah… Come to think of it I seem to have worried too much…” Renee pursed her lips thoughtfully.
“What do you mean?”
She said haughtily “You are not her type at all. If she is not interested in you she will naturally not be hurt by you.”
“Is that so?” A hint of frustration flashed across Xavier’s handsome face but it was quickly replaced with cynicism.
“I’m sure that’s also what she thinks… Right dear Lei?” The man asked suddenly with a wry smile.
The man’s gaze looked past Renee at the corner where Leia had been hiding for a while.
