Chapter 1555
Xavier frowned in confusion. “I can’t believe my ears. Do you mean we have to do whatever women say? You’re the most indifferent and overbearing man in Beach City, so how could you be so submissive around your wife? It’s not like you at all.” Although Xavier had experience in pursuing women, his ways were vastly different from Stefan’s. He would buy them gifts and sweet-talk them to win their hearts, but no woman had ever owned his heart and mind. If a woman tried to control him, he would break up with her without any hesitation. Even if it was Leia, he would not compromise when it came to his principles, which was why they were always fighting.
“I’ve wasted many years to come to this conclusion. Yes, we’ll go through many things in our lives, but the key is to figure out what’s most important to you. If you think your principles are more important than your relationship with her, you can give her up.” Stefan was unusually patient as he tried to teach a playboy like Xavier a lesson in true love.
“You might have tricks to attract women, and they might fall for you if you flirt with them, but do you know the power of sincerity? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with obeying my wife. If you can’t do it, it means that you don’t love her enough. Don’t you think so?” Stefan looked at Xavier and asked bluntly.
“I…” Xavier couldn’t respond.
He could lie to others and himself but not to Stefan. As a man, Stefan would know his thoughts, so there was no way he could lie.
“Do you think I’m a scumbag?” Xavier covered his face helplessly. He didn’t want to be a scumbag, but he had been a playboy for so many years that he felt like he had lost the ability to love.
“What do you mean?” Stefan asked calmly.
“You’re right-1 don’t love Leia enough, but I’m possessive over her. I don’t want to see her get close to other men, especially that pretty boy actor. I’ll go mad with jealousy. I used to be cool and calm, but now, I don’t even recognize myself,” Xavier admitted honestly.
“No, you’re not a scumbag… You’re just dumb.”
“Dumb?”
“You can’t tell if you love her or not. Isn’t that dumb?” Stefan’s blunt words sent Xavier into deep contemplation.” Think about it—if this was your last chance with Leia, would you give up your principles for her?”
