Chapter 886
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âWhat the hell???â
Leia was staring at the leg of lamb and salivating wildly when she heard what Xavier said. It was so sudden that it stunned her.
âI still remember the bold words you said on the speedboat. I, Xavier, have rarely been impressed with anyone, especially women, but after hearing what you said, Iâm completely impressed. Donât let me down now.â
âWhat bold words? I say lots of bold words all the time. You canât expect me to remember all of them.â
Leia feigned ignorance and said, âWow, the leg of lamb looks so goodâ¦â
âItâs okay if you donât remember because I do. I can remind you. You said you would show him your skills with a knife, you said you would castrate him and turn him into an eunuch, you said you would force him to his knees to apologize, etcâ¦â
Xavier crossed his long legs and said mischievously. He kept fanning the flames, trying to turn the situation chaotic.
âD-Did I say that?â
Leia shrunk back. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Yes, she was indeed determined to fight Stefan to the death when she was on the speedboat, but after seeing Stefanâs dignified and proud demeanor, her attitude immediately softened. She was the one who almost ended up kneeling.
âWhat are you guys talking about? You two are acting so weird.â
While slicing the roasted leg of lamb, Renee smelled something funny in the air. It smelled like the scent of⦠a budding love relationship?
Thatâs great! They held the welcoming feast to set those two up in the first place!
Renee bumped Stefanâs leg and commanded, âStefan, donât just sit there and wait to be served. Do your duty as a host. Give a toast to my bestie and your bro and wish them a long-lasting relationshipâ¦
I mean long-lasting health and vitality!â
âYes, honey!â
Stefan, like a good husband that he was, did as Renee ordered. He poured a glass of champagne each for Leia and Xavier and spoke with a rare enthusiasm, âA toast for you two on behalf of my wife and myself.â
Xavier joked, âBro, this isnât a business meal. Stop being so formal. You donât even hold liquor that well.
Leave the drinking to me and Leia.â
After saying that, he touched Leiaâs glass with his and said with a smile, âI heard you can hold your liquor. I happen to be a good drinker myself. Letâs have a drinking contest tonight.â
Leia turned her head away in refusal. âIâm not gonna have a drinking contest with a playboy.â
âI see. You must be really eager to perform, then.â
Xavier told Stefan seriously, âBro, Leia has a performance she wants to show youâ¦â
âSince destiny has brought us together on this fateful day, thereâs no need for words. Letâs speak with our drinks.â
Leia immediately had a change in attitude. She downed her champagne in one go.
Xavier nodded in satisfaction and said, âOur little Leia is indeed a very flexible woman. Iâm impressed.â
Leia Osborne felt more and more interesting to him.
She would say the fiercest words and then act in the most cowardly manner. He found her quite adorable.
âAce!â
âOne more glass! Another one!â
And so, the two of them got into a drinking contest. Leia was determined to make Xavier collapse to get her revenge.
Stefan, Renee, Adie, and Abby stared at them, dumbfounded.
Stefan: âYour bestie drinks as much as you do.â
Renee: âYour buddy canât even beat a woman at drinking.â
Abby: âAre they dating?â
Adie: âI donât know, but theyâve definitely gone mad.â
As she got more drunk, Leiaâs behavior became increasingly rowdy and unrestrained. Renee felt like things were developing in the wrong direction.
âThis wonât do. If this goes on, theyâll become buddies instead of lovers!â
In truth, the reason Leia had remained single for so many years was because of her boisterous personality. She was really thick when it came to love affairs. She ended up treating everyone who confessed to her or showed interest in her as her buddy.
This time, Renee would not leave her be.
