“Besides, I didn’t just cheat emotionally. In fact, I had sex with that man once a few months ago, but it wasn’t intentional.“At the time, I didn’t think about getting a divorce with my husband. That’s why I didn’t tell you the truth,” Xyla Quest said seriously.Ron Batton’s smile widened as he gently patted Xyla’s shoulder. “Xyla, look at me.”However, Xyla didn’t dare to look up at him. Right now, his gaze was like a weapon that could pierce right through her.He could see through the feelings of guilt in the depths of her heart.After mentally preparing herself, Xyla slowly lifted her head and looked into Ron’s eyes.The look in his eyes was the same as usual. In fact, they seemed even gentler.This was something Xyla hadn’t expected at all.At first, she thought she would be met with an angry reaction.“Grandpa, there’s still a lot of stuff I haven’t told you, but I will eventually, bit by bit. I’m really sorry for what I’ve done,” Xyla stammered worriedly.“That’s enoug
After sitting down, Xyla Quest took the initiative to place food on Ron Batton’s plate.Ron ate a mouthful of rice before he spoke. “I’ll arrange for you two to meet in one week. Once the time has been decided, I’ll reach out to you.”“Okay,” Xyla said as she gently bit on her chopsticks with an apologetic look on her face.“Xyla, stay with me for a week if you can. I’ll nurse you back to health,” Ron said.Xyla shook her head. “I can’t, Grandpa. There’s still a lot of work left back in the country.”Ron chuckled. “Very well. I shan’t force you then. Later, I’ll prepare some herbs for you to bring home. You can consume them on your own once you get back.”“Thank you, Grandpa.”***Back in the room, Stanley Batton sent a message to Xyla.“I think I’ll only be able to return to the country tomorrow afternoon due to a sudden delay,” Stanley wrote.“Okay. I’ll look after myself,” Xyla replied.“Alright.”Stanley stopped sending her any texts after that.Xyla did the same and c
When their eyes met, Xyla Quest felt as if her heart was on fire.Her ears couldn’t help but turn red.“Are you hungry?” Stanley Batton asked.“No, but I’m feeling thirsty…” Xyla shook her head.“What would you like to drink?”“Lemonade.”Without saying anything in response, Stanley stood up, walked into the kitchen, and started getting to work in front of the kitchen table.While Xyla watched him work from behind, she felt a warm sensation in her heart.Suddenly, Xyla thought of his sister. She got up and walked to the door of the kitchen and leaned against it as she watched him slicing a lemon intently. “How’s Catherine doing?”Stanley glanced up at Xyla. He carefully dropped two slices of lemon into an expensive-looking acrylic crystal glass. “Yeah. She’s already been discharged from the hospital and is now resting at home.”“Where does she live?” Xyla asked.“In my house,” Stanley answered.“Why don’t we let her stay with us? We can look after each other,” Xyla said.“
“Okay. I’ll make those for you in a bit,” Stanley Batton said.“Oh, right. I also want a bowl of cream of mushroom soup. Do you know how to make it?” Xyla Quest asked.“I don’t, but I can learn,” he said.“Oh, okay,” Xyla said.The high-level executives on Stanley’s computer screen were all dumbfounded.This woman had ordered their CEO to cook for her. She even said it matter-of-factly. It appeared as if their CEO cooked for her frequently.Could the cold and distant Stanley Batton have a soft side like this?Everyone looked at each other, as countless questions appeared in their minds. In the end, they all muted their microphones and began whispering among themselves.“Did I hear that wrongly? Does our CEO cook in his private life? It’s impossible to imagine our demon king wearing an apron and making soup.”“No way… Who is this woman? Our CEO has broken the rules for her more than once. Oh my god. Isn’t she amazing?”“I have no idea, and I dare not ask. My entire family is s
Stanley Batton slowly looked up at Wilson Batton with a curious gaze.“Didn’t Xyla just go through a surgery? You should spend more time looking after her. Don’t go to the office if you don’t have to and make her more herbal soup so that she can recover sooner.“Didn’t your mother send some supplements over to Xyla? Make use of them according to the given recipes, do you understand?” Wilson said seriously.“Okay,” Stanley said calmly.“Our loving father is also a loving husband,” Catherine Batton said with a smile.Wilson ruffled Catherine’s hair gently. “Men should indeed look after their wives. Only men who are good to their wives will succeed in life.”Catherine chuckled. “Hehe… I hope I can meet someone like my father in the future.”“You will,” Josh said.“If the man you end up meeting doesn’t treat you right, I’ll hire someone to kill him,” Wilson said.“I don’t care who he is, but if he dares hurt my sister, he will have to pay for it,” Stanley added.“That’s for sure,
The number of likes, comments, and shares had exceeded a million.The comment section was filled with messages from Josh Batton’s fans.“Why didn’t I know that my idol has such a funny side? Hahaha… I love it.”“??? Is this a joke??? But honestly, it’s so cute. Josh, you must have a different way of thinking from the rest of us, don’t you?”“Oh my god… I never thought Josh would get on the list of trending topics for something like this. My idol really is adorable!”After reading all this, Catherine Batton couldn’t help but laugh out loudly. “Hahaha…”Even Catherine thought her brother was funny and weird.When Catherine laughed, everyone in the family turned to look at her.“What are you laughing at?” Josh asked curiously with a gentle look in his eyes.“You…” Catherine chuckled before explaining what she read on Weibo about Josh’s odd behavior.After hearing her out, Stanley Batton and Wilson Batton smiled faintly.Sharon Lindt directly burst into laughter like Catherine.
A large group of fans who shipped Jay Corben and Morty Wayne as a couple was heavily discussing the scenes they appeared together.“Ahh… This is the first time I’ve shipped a couple in my life. Ahh… Whenever I see the two of them together, I feel as if my world is full of light.”“They are way too adorable! I’ve never seen two men look so good together! I’m definitely shipping the two of them. My darlings, fly freely! I will always support you. I have a lot of money, and I’m willing to spend it all on you two. I’ll even pay for your wedding!”“#JayTy all the way! We must all vote hard for them! Let them stand at the peak of the world!”“The little wolf and the little puppy. Isn’t that cute? What kind of heavenly couple is this? I love them.”After reading through comments on Weibo, Xyla Quest satisfactorily put down her phone.Right then, all the lights in the house suddenly went out.The world became dark, and the only light which remained was that from her phone screen.Xyla
As Stanley Batton sang, Xyla Quest listened and enjoyed every moment of it.Amidst his singing, Xyla soon heard a car arriving outside the house.She immediately felt joyful and ran over to open the door with her phone in hand.As soon as she opened the door, she saw Stanley getting out of his black Honda.He was wearing a white shirt and black pants, and there was a black coat draped around his arm.The simple combination of clothes made him appear like a noble, diving being that had descended from above.He took big strides toward her. Suddenly, he stopped singing.Very soon, Stanley was in front of Xyla, smiling faintly. “I’m home.”“Hmm.” Xyla nodded gently.“Were you afraid?” he asked.Xyla shook her head.She was never afraid of the dark. With him accompanying her on the phone, she didn’t feel afraid at all.Without saying anything, Stanley placed his coat over her body. “I’m going to check out what’s wrong.”After that, Stanley turned on the torchlight on his phone
