Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton both looked stunned when they heard this.Neither of them thought that Henry would actually be their grandfather’s friend.In fact, they thought Bailey Ronson bribed him to pretend to be his grandfather’s friend and to deceive others.Stanley had never been introduced to Henry as his grandfather’s friend.Immediately, Henry wiped the sweat off his face and looked away from the camera. “I’m… Sigh, it’s hard to explain. I mean, didn't you tell me that your grandson was ugly, Ron? You even showed me a picture and told me that was your grandson… Also, why didn’t you tell me that your family owns Dragon Group?”“I was just trying to keep a low profile. I didn’t want to talk about it, but first, tell me, how did you end up with my grandson? Also, how did you find out about my identity?” Ron Batton had a confused look on his face.“Answer my question first. Do you have any idea that my life is at risk because of you?” Henry added.Ron seemed even more conf

Xyla Quest immediately nodded. She felt the same way too.“Alright. Let’s not talk about this. You don’t have to worry, alright?” Stanley Batton ruffled her hair affectionately again.Xyla nodded before turning up the music in the car.Coincidentally, a song that Stanley sang before, ‘From Now On’, was playing.“From now on, be there wild winds or calmness, poverty or wealth, you will always be in the bottom of my heart and my eyes.”The original singer’s voice made the song sound very good. Coupled with the moving lyrics, it made Xyla’s heart feel warm.However, she still felt that Stanley’s rendition of it was the best.“I think that you sing better than him,” Xyla said with a chuckle.“Oh?” Stanley turned to look at Xyla with a seemingly faint smile on his face.Although the view outside was very pretty, Xyla found Stanley way more attractive.In that instant, she felt as if she would soon drown in his eyes.“Hmm… So, can you sing it for me?” Xyla turned the music off.S

“Soon after they lived together, Catherine was born. They had a pretty happy life together, but it didn’t last. When she was three, her parents were run over and killed by a large truck on their way home after working in the fields. Back then, nobody in the family knew about it, and there wasn’t a single person in the village who knew my uncle’s real identity.“Hence, the village chief sent Catherine to an orphanage. When Catherine turned seven, my grandfather missed my uncle so much that he sent my father to look for him in the village. However, the village folks told my father that my uncle and his wife had died.“They also informed my father that Catherine was sent to an orphanage. Hence, my father hurried over to the orphanage and brought Catherine home. He treated her like his daughter ever since,” Stanley Batton explained.When Stanley talked about these things, he couldn’t help but recall the first time Catherine came to their house. He remembered the day she came to their fa

When Xyla Quest saw how serious Stanley Batton looked, she felt very proud from the bottom of her heart.She was fortunate to have met such a wonderful person like him after going through so much hardships on her own.Although Stanley was like a divine being who ruled over the rest of the population, he was willing to get off his high horse and do the most mundane things in the world for Xyla. For example, he cooked for her.When Stanley looked up, his eyes immediately met with Xyla’s gentle gaze.He instantly held her up and placed her on his lap. “Why are you staring at me? Do you want sex?”Xyla’s heart shuddered at the question. Her body began to feel hot, and she couldn’t help but blush. “Stanley, can’t you think of more appropriate things?”“How are my thoughts inappropriate now?” Stanley asked.“You’re a jerk. Mmphh…”Before Xyla could finish her sentence, Stanley pressed his lips against hers.As soon as that happened, everything became a mess.“Beep, beep, beep…” Xyl

“No…” Stanley Batton said before hugging Xyla Quest tightly, and the two engaged in a passionate exchange.After a long while, Stanley finally let go of Xyla and carried her into the bathroom to get themselves cleaned up.Once they were done, Stanley chirpily headed downstairs to make breakfast.Meanwhile, Xyla dragged her exhausted body over to the dressing table and sat in front of it.When she looked at her reflection in the mirror, she noticed the red markings all over her body. A sense of devastation filled her.Xyla realized there was a lot of covering up to do.After a long, frustrated sigh, she poured a little bit of toner onto her hands and patted it against her face.Beep, beep, beep…Right then, her phone began to ring on the bed.Xyla immediately stood up and continued to pat her face while she walked over to the bed to pick up her phone.When she saw that the call was from her father, she smiled gently. She answered the call before returning to the dressing table
