The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Leia felt much better after hearing that.
She checked the time and was disappointed to see that the ceremony was far from over.
If she left now, she would seem like a coward...
but she needed some courage to return to the hall.
She wrung her hands, wondering if she should stay or leave.
"What's troubling you?" Santiago instantly noticed Leia's anxiousness and said softly, Tell me if you need my help." "Ah, it's
nothing.
You don't have to worry about my petty problems," Leia waved him off and said casually.
She knew that she was a fool in love, and she was too embarrassed to tell Santiago about it.
Besides, he had once told her that Xavier was unreliable, and yet, she was still letting Xavier mess with her head.
It would be embarrassing to bring it up again.
"What do you mean by people who don't deserve it?" Santiago lowered his head, looking like he was trying to suppress his
emotions.
"You know, I thought I wouldn't come back here so soon.
I've been working at The Footstars for the past few years, and I didn't really need to come back here." Leia looked at him and
asked curiously, "Yeah, that's true.
You've mostly been doing work abroad, and I heard that your work is ongoing.
You got the chance to work alongside an Orlena-winning actor as the male lead of a movie too, which is scheduled to start soon.
Why did you come back all of a sudden?" "It's because..." After a pause, Santiago said carefully, "I've been thinking about
something lately, and I can't get it off my mind.
So, T came back." "What is it? Can you tell me?" Leia's eyes lit up as her curiosity grew.

"Isn't it obvious?" Santiago shrugged helplessly, not knowing if she was really that clueless or if she was just faking it.
"Is it?" Confused, Leia looked around.
She thought about it for a while, then her eyes brightened in realization.
"Oh, I know! You're involved in The Heart of the Grassland, right? I heard from fans that you like this novel very much and hoped
to be the male lead.
But I guess it's bad timing because they already picked a male lead whom my friend recommended, and I guess they can't
change it.
Honestly though, I don't think you'd be suitable as the male lead of this movie given your temperament, so it's not a loss if you
didn't get the part." As Santiago's first fan, Leia was well aware of all news related to Santiago.
She had long known that Santiago was a fan of the original novel of the movie too, but she always felt that Santiago's
temperament didn't suit the novel's male lead.
"Oh? What exactly is my temperament?" Santiago asked, raising an eyebrow leisurely.
He wanted to know how she saw him.
"Well, you're the kind of man who is a woman's first love.
All women will imagine a man like you when they're ignorant, naive, and pure." At that point, Leia's eyes glazed over dreamily as
if she had returned to her younger days when she fawned over Santiago's posters.
"Elegant, moody, handsome, distant, and dominant..." "First love?" Santiago smirked.
"That's high praise.
And even now...
am I still your first love?"
