The Untouchable Ex-Wife By Mizuki Sei Chapter 1140

Chapter 1140
Enter title…
Shirley remained composed and confident as she argued, and that left Leia shaken.
She knew that Xavier was infamous for being a flirt, marred with scandals involving
numerous ladies. Still, they were willing to throw themselves at him. Only Shirley was
different-because Xavier was the one enslaving himself to her.
And that alone was why Leia paled in comparison.
“If my hunch is right, you must be the thick-skinned type who chased Xavier around for a
long time before he finally got interested, right?’
Shirley studied Leia from head to toe, shaking her head with disdain. “If you’ve been around
Xavier long enough, you’d know that you’re not his type at all. He just happened to need
someone to help him through this painful time-or, if I had to put it plainly, beggars can’t be
choosers. Anything is fine, and even if it wasn’t you, it would be someone else.
“And now that I’m back, you’re pointless as a replacement.”
“Enough!”
Xavier snapped, unable to restrain himself any longer. ’How unreasonable can you get?
You’re the one who gave up, and now you’re being clingy?
How did I hurt you when you were the one who refused to let me be happy?! N
His bloodshot eyes were reddened in pain.
Shirley was the first woman he was willing to be serious with, the one he’d given up his
womanizing for. He gave her his heart and then some, and he was hell-bent on making her
the happiest woman in the world.
And yet, that heart of passion was trampled all over, leaving a bloody mask. So what if he
loved her? So what if she was his one and only?
He was tired of it all and refused to play this game. All he wanted was someone he was
comfortable with, to live with her in plain contentment…
“I was just confused and made a mistake, Xavier. Give me a chance to make things right,
alright?”
Shirley held his gaze, demolishing the fort he had built around his heart with every step.
“You know you love me, and you just needed someone to rebound. But that won’t work, and
you’d only hurt others in return. Don’t you think this is very selfish of you?”
Xavier’s eyes flash, his fingers clenching.
He had to admit that Shirley’s words more or less brought him to his senses.
Despite the last night’s vow, and now that his head was clear, he began to wonder if he
actually even loved Leia at all.
Even he could not tell!
And Leia could see all of Xavier’s pain and confusion, her heart aching with every passing
second.
“Do you love me, Xavier?”
She looked at him, waiting for his answer.
“I…”
Xavier’s eyes quivered, and he could not answer.
“Fine, I get it.”
Leia said nonchalantly, “I know that you’re just confused. Don’t worry. I won’t bother you, so,
do have a proper talk with the star actress-it’s not easy finding true love these days, so learn
to cherish what you have.”
She patted him on the shoulder and shrugged, unconcerned. “I won’t lie. I was playing too.
See you
