Chapter 868

“What is this?”

Stefan picked up the Louboutin in confusion, only to realize that it was lipstick after a long, careful inspection.

With her arms crossed, Renee annoyedly said to the man behind her, “Stop pretending. I found this on the plane. Don’t tell me you’ve never seen this before.”

“But I’ve really never seen this. I thought this is a lighter… hmm, is this really not a lighter?”

Stefan knitted his eyebrows and focused on looking for the valve, and ended up smearing lipstick all over his palms. What a stupid man who was so totally ignorant of women’s stuff.

Renee rolled her eyes, speechless.

Regardless, the man did not seem to be faking his reaction.

“Oh, I remember now…”

His face tensed, and he said irritably, “It must be Xavier. He must have brought someone on the plane and did not clean up afterward!”

“Xavier?”

Renee doubted. “Didn’t he break up recently? It’s not nice to blame this on him, don’t you think?”

“That’s not a breakup. That’s breaking free. I wouldn’t have lent him the plane for celebration, otherwise” He snorted and said resentfully, “If he listened to me and broke up earlier, he would not have suffered. His relationship with that girlfriend is simply poisonous!”

Renee was fired up when she heard this gossip and asked, “What exactly happened? Tell me more about it.”

Stefan was amused. He cupped the woman’s tear-stained face and gazed at her lovingly. “Why are you so curious about it? Have you completely resolved your own matters?”

“Um… about that… My matters are not important, but Xavier is my lifesaver, my best friend. Hurry up and tell me what happened between him and his girlfriend. What makes you say their relationship is toxic?”

“She deceived his feelings. That’s about it.” He shook his head and let out a long sigh. “Xavier is comparable to a master of romance, and he always says that he will never fall into the trap of love, but he somehow falls into hers. He tasted a lot of the bitterness of love in these four years. I am very happy that he comes to his senses now.”

“Is this what you should do as his good friend? Why are you so happy when he broke up?”

Though she said so, she recalled the last time she met Xavier. He did seem a lot more depressed and lost his carefreeness four years back. He looked really different from his old casual self.

Love was indeed the destructor of one’s soul if one made the wrong choice!

“To me, love is not suffering, but not meeting the right person is. Take Leia, for instance, my best friend.

She also met a jerk a while ago…”

Something came to her mind suddenly, and she said, “Hey, do you think there will be a spark between Xavier and Leia?”

One was a ladykiller, and one was a woman who sealed her heart and stopped loving. Would there be chemistry between these two if they were put together?

“You can try.”

He smiled expectantly. “Leia, as you said, is not a simple woman. Maybe she really can tame that wild horse.”

“It’s settled then!”

She snapped her fingers and said eagerly, “I will call her to come here for a vacation now, and you will do the same to Xavier.”

The two acted as Cupids once they were on the same page.

Coincidentally, Xavier and Leia happened to be on vacation in a nearby island country. They rushed over without a second thought when receiving the invitation.

The sea breeze blew through Renee’s long hair and the hem of her white dress. Holding her heels in one hand, her feet were stepping on the soft sand on the beach, leaving a trail of uneven footprints.

The golden sunbeam set off her beauty as it showered over her slender body.
