# Chapter 309: A Confession Out of Nowhere and a Disaster on the Horizon
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today, I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 309 of *The Untouchable Ex Wife*! This chapter is full of flirtatious tension, public confessions, witty banter, and a massive emotional explosion waiting to happen. So before I dive in, grab a snack, settle in, and let's see what kind of storm is brewing for Leia and the men around her.
---
The scene starts with a single, sharp throat-clearing sound: "Ahem!" Xavier, though not exactly threatened by Skylar, felt an uncomfortable heat in his chest when he saw Leia happily chatting and privately laughing with the younger man. Something about her easy, teasing smile directed at another man stirred a restless, jealous energy inside him. He couldn't exactly explain it, but he didn't like it—not one bit.
Noticing the dangerous tension in the air, Skylar quickly cleared his own throat and, with careful politeness, looked at Leia and said, "I'm sorry, Lei, I like someone else. Please pick another person."
He had no intention of stepping into the line of fire between Xavier and Santiago. He was just trying to survive the atmosphere.
Leia, however, seemed to be in an especially mischievous mood. A playful smile curled her lips as she waved off his concern lightly. "It's okay, we're still in the process of choosing the person we like. Your crush can join us for snorkeling, I won't mind," she explained brightly.
Honestly, she found Skylar adorable. His earnest awkwardness made him easy to tease. More than that, she thought he might be the safest choice—flirting with him would make things less complicated with Santiago and Xavier, at least in her mind.
Skylar blinked, genuinely surprised. "Really? Miss Osborne, you don't mind going snorkeling with my crush and I tomorrow morning?" he asked innocently.
"Of course not! I'm a generous person, you know. We'll be a good trio," Leia declared mischievously.
You should have seen the faces around her. She knew her teasing would make people think less of her—or at the very least, grind their teeth in irritation—but that was simply who Leia was. She was outspoken, playful, and dangerously good at stirring the pot without breaking a sweat.
Gaining confidence, Skylar nodded seriously. "Okay, it's a promise. We'll go snorkeling as a group tomorrow. You'll go, right?"
"Don't worry, I'll be there. I'll be single forever if I don't go." Leia raised three fingers dramatically, as if making a sacred vow.
Skylar nodded with a solemn expression. Then, without missing a beat, he glanced around the tense circle of people and said, "Actually, my crush is Xavier. I'll come out of the closet in front of everyone today."
The world seemed to pause.
Leia's jaw dropped so fast she probably could have caught flies. Wait—what? Did she just hear that right? Skylar's crush was Xavier? After everything they had just agreed to? Her mind reeled in disbelief and embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Xavier lifted his brows, a slow, confident smile spreading across his face. His smug expression was aimed directly at Leia as he purred, "See you tomorrow."
Leia gritted her teeth, heart pounding with a mixture of anger and flustered frustration. Was this another one of Xavier's ridiculous schemes? Was he playing games with her again? She honestly could not tell anymore. The man always seemed to know exactly how to turn her neat little plans into a chaotic mess.
Just when the atmosphere could not get any more complicated, Santiago stepped forward and added calmly, "Yes, a trio might be good, but it's pretty boring. Why don't I join you guys?" His gaze met Xavier's, and a meaningful smile played on his lips. "My crush is Miss Osborne, so I hope I can join tomorrow's snorkeling."
A collective "Wow!" erupted from the guests. Excited murmurs swept across the room, and all eyes turned toward the bold declaration.
"Things are getting serious..." someone whispered. "Mr. Dalton finally confessed his feelings!"
Leia's carefree expression evaporated instantly. Her cheeks flushed a delicate pink as she found herself speechless, suddenly feeling like a shy schoolgirl under Santiago's direct gaze.
"Mr. Dalton... are you serious?" Her voice was barely steady.
"I never joke." Santiago's voice was calm and filled with an unmistakable sincerity. Then, from his pocket, he pulled out a love letter and began to read it passionately.
"You're like the full moon that I love, and your brightness never fades. I hope we can be with each other forever... Miss Osborne, you had me at hello. I'm not joking, and this isn't for the show. I hope we can be a couple at last."
Every word landed like a soft heart pulse in the silent room. After finishing, Santiago stepped forward and sincerely placed the letter directly into Leia's hands.
It should have been the most romantic moment of the evening. A poised, devoted confession, a beloved beauty, and a letter steeped in admiration...
But no one knew at that moment that Leia was about to experience an unforgettable disaster—one that none of them could have predicted.

### Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter is an absolute emotional rollercoaster! I loved the way the playful teasing transformed into a genuine public confession within seconds. Leia's mischievous personality shines through, and the competitive tension between Xavier and Santiago becomes even more intense. The twist with Skylar's "crush is Xavier" was hilarious and totally turned the tables on Leia. At the same time, Santiago's heartfelt confession is beautifully romantic, but the ominous foreshadowing at the end gives me a sense of dread. Something wonderful—or terribly chaotic—is about to happen.
**Rating:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.9 / 5 Stars
### Next Chapter Prediction
Given the dangerous hints at the end of this chapter, I predict that the so-called snorkeling date will turn into a shocking catastrophe. Santiago's sincere feelings will likely conflict with Xavier's plan to keep Leia close, and with Skylar unexpectedly in the middle of their awkward triangle, the water adventure may become a battlefield of jealousy, accidents, and hidden schemes. Leia might face something dangerous beneath the waves—or an emotional storm far more powerful than any wave. Get ready for fireworks!
