Xavier leaned close to Leia's ear and whispered teasingly," Are you sure you want me to open the door for them

now?"

"No!" Leia shook her head vigorously and grabbed his arms, stopping him from moving. "I'll kill you if you make a

sound!" She'd be doomed if Santiago saw her in bed with Xavier like this. She didn't want things with Santiago to

end so soon. She knew it was selfish of her, but she couldn't help it...

Humans were greedy by nature.

"Is there someone in there? We're coming in if not!" Megan knocked more forcefully, and the fragile door looked

like it was on the verge of breaking.

Leia held her breath and clung to Xavier, shutting her eyes tight and wondering how she had gotten into this mess.

Though he was feeling uneasy, Xavier couldn't help but be amused by Leia's guilty expression. Feeling cheeky, he

decided to tickle her armpits.

"Ah! Haha!" Leia burst out laughing, then immediately clamped her mouth shut in horror. However, the damage

had already been done as the two people outside the cottage had heard her.

"Who's in there? Can you say something? I would like to use this cottage!" Megan called out.

Flabbergasted, Leia covered her mouth and glared at Xavier, who was grinning mischievously.

"Forget it. Let's go since there's someone in there. Don't trouble them," Santiago said finally.

"Okay, Mr. Dalton." Although Megan was reluctant to give up, she left with Santiago.

A sigh of relief escaped Leia when she heard their footsteps fade. After that, she punched Xavier hard and hissed,

"Are you out of your mind? Why would you do that?"

"Everyone knows about our relationship, so why is it so embarrassing that you were alone in a room with me?"

Xavier said unhappily, knowing that Leia just didn't want Santiago to find out. As far as Xavier was concerned, he

and Leia were a couple, so he couldn't understand why Leia was acting like she was cheating on Santiago. He had

never experienced this dynamic in a relationship before, and it was certainly quite humbling.

"Yes, it's embarrassing! I don't want to have anything to do with you!" Leia pushed him away and smoothed down

her clothes. She was wondering how she should explain it to Santiago later... or whether she should explain it or

not.

"Is that pretty boy so important to you? Don't tell me you've taken a fancy to him!" Xavier scoffed as he watched

her get off the bed.

"It's none of your business." Leia turned to look at him challengingly. "If you can enjoy the best of both worlds, why

can't I?" After that, she snuck out of the cottage using the side door.

Watching her leave, Xavier chuckled bitterly. "I've never done that to you, silly girl."
