Xyla Quest struggled to get up, but Stanley Batton forcefully pressed her down onto his lap. “Be good… Wait for me, hmm?”Now, Xyla suddenly felt awkward and embarrassed as her face turned red.His embrace was making her heart beat so fast she felt as if it would soon leap out of her chest.The gazes of people in the computer screen made her feel even more nervous.“You’re in a meeting. Can’t you be more serious?” Xyla bemoaned.“How am I not being serious?” Stanley retorted with a serious look in his face before turning to face the people in his computer screen. “Let’s end the meeting for today.”People in the meeting room looked at one another.Stanley turned off his laptop right away before unplugging his earphones. “Let’s go out and eat,” he said as he looked at Xyla.Xyla quickly got up from his lap. “I’ve already made dinner.”“Who said you could cook?” Stanley asked.“My body is almost fully recovered. Why can’t I cook?” Xyla said.“Even if it’s almost fully recovered

Xyla Quest had only eaten not too long ago. Frankly, she wasn’t feeling very hungry. However, she didn’t say anything and instead followed Catherine Batton into the bathroom to wash their hands.Once they were done, Catherine joyfully tugged her along. “Sister-in-law, I’m so glad that I can finally address you as that in public. I’m also very sorry for not telling you the truth before this.”“Alright, stop mentioning these things. I have already said that I understand.” Xyla affectionately pinched Catherine’s cheek.With a chuckle, Catherine dragged Xyla into the dining room.By then, everyone else had already washed their hands and were seated at the dining table.When Stanley Batton saw Xyla entering, he immediately stood up and pulled a chair out for her before moving her closer to himself.There was a full table of dishes with all imaginable varieties, and they all looked and smelled good.Although Xyla was already full, her mouth still salivated when she saw these delicious

“Have you forgotten what day it is today?” Stanley Batton asked.Xyla Quest immediately took her phone out and checked the time…It was 1st of April, her birthday.Xyla had been so busy recently that she had actually forgotten her birthday.Although she had forgotten all about it, Stanley clearly remembered it.“I forgot…” Xyla said.“Silly girl. Happy birthday,” Stanley said and ruffled her head gently before holding her hand tightly.Peach blossom petals fell on top of their heads, shoulders, and their shoes like snowflakes.“Thank you,” Xyla said.After half an hour, the fireworks display was still going on.“Should we watch it from the balcony?” Stanley turned around and looked at her face.“How long do you plan to keep this going?” Xyla asked.“Until you’re sick of it,” Stanley answered.“These fireworks are so beautiful. I wouldn’t get sick of them even when the sky turns bright,” she said.“Then, we’ll keep them going until the sky turns bright,” he said.“Stop me

“You may say things casually, but I cannot take them casually,” Stanley Batton said before pressing Xyla Quest’s head against his chest.At such a close distance, Xyla could clearly hear his heart beating.Each heartbeat pulsed with strength.A sweet sensation began to spread in her heart.Although Xyla said something half-heartedly, Stanley took it seriously and made the fireworks go on for the entire night in the manor.She had her master to thank for this.If it weren’t for him, Xyla and Stanley wouldn’t have known how each other so soon.“Is anything wrong with your wound?” Stanley asked as he kissed her hair.The light scent of rose was almost like an addictive drug.“No…” Xyla said.Throughout the process, Stanley made sure to be very careful. Since Xyla’s surgery wound had basically healed, having sex for an extended period didn’t affect her wound.“That’s good,” Stanley said.Just like that, the two of them hugged each other to sleep.At a little after nine in the

After casually tossing her phone aside, Xyla Quest looked at the handsome man in front of her. “Let’s eat out tonight.”“Okay,” Stanley Batton agreed right away.“Beep, beep, beep…” At this moment, his phone started vibrating too.He picked it up and looked at the screen.When he saw that Zack Cassidy was calling, he answered immediately.“Master Stanley, are you coming for the meeting or not? The high-level executives didn’t dare leave the office because they have been waiting for you,” Zack said.“Let’s do it tomorrow morning,” Stanley added.On the other end of the call, and in Dragon Group’s office, Zack cursed at Stanley in his heart for being a foolish man.“Alright,” Zack said respectfully.Stanley hung up the phone right away before sitting up lazily. “Let’s go. We’ll take a bath and head out,” he said.After getting up, Xyla instantly caught sight of the crisscrossed scratch marks on his back.They continued to remind her how madly she had behaved.However, Xyla di
