Chapter 1167
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âOf course, I can prove it!â Xavier declared confidently.
âWell⦠How do you plan to do that?â The police officer sensed there was more to the story, so he was willing to give Xavier a chance to prove his innocence.
Take my phone out of my bag. Unlock it with my face and go find a secret photo album.
Youâll know after you see that. â Xavier decided to risk everything to regain his freedom. He even gave up the last bit of his dignity.
âA secret photo album?â The police officer was very curious, and so was Leia.
She grabbed Xavierâs phone before the police officer could. After she used his face to unlock his phone, she asked, â Which secret photo album?â
âUmm⦠Itâs called âmy bedtime dessertâ. Just show it to the police officer.1â² Xavierâs handsome face was flushed as he said through gritted teeth.
Leia found the hidden photo album and clicked on it. When she saw the photos in it, a blush rose on her cheeks, and she immediately sobered up.
âYou⦠Why did youâ¦â She turned around with a complicated expression. She could no longer look at the photographs.
âWhat is it? Show me.â The police officerâs curiosity was piqued, so he took the phone from Leia. He then used his thumb to swipe the photos in the album one by one. After a while, he cracked a happy smile. âWell, kid. You look like a Casanova, but it turns out youâre actually a loyal man. Itâs rare to find a man like you!â
Xavier was generally a shameless person, but at that moment, he wished that the ground would open up and swallow him. He mumbled awkwardly, âThank you, sir. Can you let go of me now?â
âIt was a misunderstanding. Sorry, kid.â The police officer unlocked Xavierâs handcuffs and patted his shoulder.â Women donât always mean what they say. Just try to talk it out, Iâll be rooting for you⦠You can win her over with sincerity. If you love her, you have to say so.â
He then turned around and said to Leia, who was blushing and keeping quiet, âGirl, donât be pretentious. As another man, I can tell that he loves you very much!â
Leia timidly nodded. âThank you for the advice. I realise that now.â
Speechlessness overwhelmed Xavier. He gingerly touched his sore wrists, which had almost been dislocated just now.â This is so embarrassing! Iâm a Casanova whoâs been enjoying life all these years. Iâve never been so embarrassed in my lifeâ¦â
âWell, you guys should talk it out. Iâll get on with my work.â The police officer smiled happily as he said goodbye to them.
Soon, Xavier and Leia were the only ones left on the road.
The light cast by the streetlamp made their shadows overlap with each other, and it looked like they were hugging. Suddenly, awkwardness engulfed them, and neither of them spoke.
âBe careful!â A car suddenly zoomed past, and Xavier quickly pulled Leia behind him.
âUmm, thank youâ¦â Leia kept her head low, looking timid and bashful.
âGive me my phone.â Xavier was quite shy too as he took his phone from her.
The secret photo album was full of Leiaâs photos that he had taken of her discreetly. For example, he took photos of her when she was eating, laughing, or sleeping.
The most romantic one was snapped under a dim light.
Leia was sleeping in his arms like a kitten. He had kissed her on the cheek before taking their first photo together.
From that picture, one could see how tender and doting he was towards her. Anyone who saw these photographs would surely be charmed by his love for her.
