Chapter 1432
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Santiago handed Leia her phone, effectively interrupting Xavier and Leiaâs argument.
âThank you, Mr. Dalton. Youâre the best!â Leia stopped arguing with Xavier and beamed, then used her left hand to call Renee.
âIf you really think so, stop calling me Mr. Daltonâ¦â Santiago muttered unhappily, then said, âYou can call me Santiago or even Santi.âBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
âAh, Iâ¦â Leia could tell that Santiago was upset, and she didnât know how to respond.
âMr. Dalton is how my fans address me, but youâre not my fan anymore, so can you call me Santi from now on?â Although Santiago was asking Leia, his firm tone made it clear that he wouldnât take no for an answer.
âOkay⦠Santi.â Leia turned beet red as she said it. Shyness overwhelmed her, and she felt like she was in a TV drama. Calling Santiago âMr. Daltonâ was normal, but calling him â Santiâ suddenly seemed incredibly intimate.
Xavier frowned and scoffed enviously, âDid you guys forget Iâm here? And Santi⦠How disgusting!
Donât tell me this is some kind of game between you two.â
âItâs none of your business! Get lost if you donât want to hear it,â Leia snapped at Xavier, then realized that Renee wasnât answering the phone. She called her a few more times, but still couldnât reach Renee.
âWhatâs going on? Why isnât Ren picking up my calls? Thereâs something wrong.â Leiaâs frown deepened and she felt anxious. Renee should be at the hospital now, and she would definitely have her phone with her to pass the time. If she wasnât answering her phone, it meant something was wrong.
âI have to go to the hospital to see Ren. Something must have happened to her!â Leia pushed her blanket aside to get out of bed.
âJust stop! Please!â Xavier pressed her down onto the bed again. âNothing will go wrong, okay?
Reneeâs good at martial arts, so youâre worrying for nothing. Besides, youâll be going in for surgery in an hour.â
âButâ¦â
Xavier sighed exasperatedly. âIâll ask Stefan to check on her if youâre that worried.â
