The car window was halfway down. The man casually smoked as he looked at her; his eyes were filled with adoration.Xyla Quest pulled out her car key to unlock her red Maserati before walking up to him. “Why are you still here?”“I’m waiting for you.”“Okay…”“I have something to show you,” he added.“What is it?” Xyla’s eyes widened, attentive and brimming with curiosity. Stanley Batton took a deep puff at the cigarette, a mischievous gaze following soon after. “You’ll find out soon.” Xyla could not bear the suspense. “Don’t keep me guessing. Go on!”“Get in the car…” Stanley tittered. Without further ado, Xyla got into her red Maserati obediently and drove off. Stanley’s black Bentley Arnage followed after her. As soon as the car left the gate, Xyla was utterly shocked by the view in front of her. The two sides of the road were filled with countless pots of fiery red roses. The flower-filled road stretched into the distance as far as the eyes could see. It was just l
Following that statement, Stanley Batton slowly kissed away the tears sliding down her cheeks. His confession deeply touched Xyla. She threw her arms around the man’s neck and kissed him on his lips. “Thanks for being so nice to me, Stanley.”“You’re my wife. Of course, I have to be nice to you.”“But turning the entire city into a rose garden in one night is such a huge project. How much did the manpower and effort cost?”“You don’t have to worry about that. All you have to do is enjoy its beauty, alright?” He continued, “Keep driving. Let’s go somewhere else to see the roses.”Nodding in agreement, Xyla started her car again and drove off. Along the way, all that came into her view was a sea of roses. “As you can see, the roses are now planted in pots. I’ll have people to move all of them to the soil later on. In the future, you’ll see flowers blooming all over the city when spring comes,” Stanley said again. Emotions welled up inside Xyla, and she could barely get a hold
Xyla Quest scrolled down to the comment section.As expected, the comment section had exploded with excitement. Though it had only been ten minutes since the article was posted, the number of comments beneath it had already reached one million. “???? What the heck??? I’m too poor to relate to that man. How rich does one have to be to do this? He reminds me of the guy who kept fireworks going on all night. They’re really one of a kind!”“I seriously suspect that he’s the same person as the firework guy. If that’s the case, I might start to believe in true love.”“This man is the typical ‘someone else’s husband’. I wonder who is the heroine of this incident. She must have burst into tears now.”“The money spent on these roses could’ve been donated to the needy. These rich people are too selfish!”“Dude, can you stop being so salty? How do you know they’ve never donated money to the needy?”“Oh my god! They’re the fairytale prince and princess in real life! How I wish I could be
When Xyla Quest saw that the call was from Georgie Clementine, she immediately picked it up.“Did you see the trending topics? Someone has actually decorated the entire city of Atlantis with roses for his wife.” Georgie sounded somewhat shocked.“Yeah. I saw it,” Xyla said and chuckled.“This man is really rich. I’m impressed,” Georgie said.“Yeah,” Xyla replied calmly.“Why do you sound so calm? Aren’t you curious at all?” Georgie asked.“Yeah, I’m not curious.” Xyla smiled deeply.“Could you happen to know who he is?” Georgie asked with a sense of curiosity.“Yeah, I do…” Xyla said.“Who is it?” Georgie asked.“Stanley Batton…” Xyla said.“What? It’s actually him?” Georgie was utterly stunned.Xyla remained silent with a calm expression on her face.“He must really love you to go this far, President Xyla. You ought to appreciate him,” Georgie said.“Yeah.”After chatting with Georgie for a while, Xyla hung up the phone.She then continued to browse the trending topics
“Xyla… Did you get in touch with the designer I told you about?” Jeremy Quest asked.“The designer hasn’t been free for the past two days. The sketch will commence in two days,” Xyla Quest said.Jeremy immediately nodded satisfactorily.“Did you sign a contract with the designer?” Jeremy asked.“This designer doesn’t require any payment,” Xyla said.“Who is it? I can’t believe someone would forgo payment…”“Once the drawing is complete, you’ll be able to see the style. You’ll find out why,” Xyla said.Jeremy became even more curious when he heard what Xyla said. “Does that mean this designer’s art style is very unique, and the person is also very famous?” Jeremy asked.“You can say that.” Xyla chuckled.“Do famous designers even provide free drawings? That’s a huge project. It requires a lot of effort,” Jeremy said.“We have a good relationship, so…”“Xyla, you really are amazing,” Jeremy said. He grew even more fond of Xyla now.“Dad, since you have entrusted me with the p
After finishing her sentence, Georgie Clementine frowned unhappily. “Those fans are the ones at fault. You have no idea. After Josh and I left the airport, they were following us all the way. To get rid of them, Josh was forced to get onto the highway. In the end, they followed us there and even went as far as speeding to catch up. That’s when he accidentally drove the car into the railing. His head collided against the steering wheel, and he immediately passed out…”After hearing that, Xyla carefully looked at Georgie. “What about you? Are you alright?”“I’m fine…” Georgie shook her head before moving her wrist a little. “I only hurt my wrist a little, but the doctor checked it and said it’s fine…”Xyla finally relaxed.While the two of them were speaking, the door to the emergency room slowly opened.A doctor walked out.When Xyla saw him, she immediately pulled Georgie by the hand and stood up.“How did it go? Doctor? Is he alright?” they asked at the same time.“He’s had a
“Georgie, cancel all his appointments for the upcoming week. Make sure he gets plenty of rest for now,” Xyla Quest turned to look at Georgie Clementine and said.Georgie nodded.“Georgie… Don’t let him drive in the future,” Xyla said with a serious expression.“Also, when he returns from events in the future, make sure there are enough bodyguards to protect yourselves,” Xyla added.“She didn’t make me drive. I requested for it. Also, I asked for the bodyguards to not be around,” Josh Batton explained in a serious tone.When Xyla heard this, she immediately frowned. “Josh, how could you be so reckless? I won’t allow you to behave like this again. Do you have any idea what might have happened to you if things got more serious today?” Xyla said.“Okay. I won’t do it again,” Josh said and nodded obediently.“Beep, beep, beep…” Right then, Stanley Batton’s phone rang.He immediately picked up the call.“Fifth Master, we’ve already caught all of them,” Zack Cassidy said.When Stanl
In fact, Xyla Quest had no idea what these crazy people had on their minds.Stanley Batton glared coldly at Xyla’s phone screen. He then pulled Xyla over to sit on the couch.Stanley crossed one leg over the other as he looked at Josh. “Now that things have gotten this far, our parents are bound to find out.”“Yeah. I know. Dad will definitely nag at me again…” Josh Batton said while placing a hand against his forehead.“Deal with it on your own,” Stanley said and frowned a little.“Okay,” Josh said.“I have work. I’ll leave now… ” Stanley stood up after that.“I’ll stay here for a while. Go ahead…” Xyla said.Stanley nodded slightly before walking away.Not long after Stanley left, Sharon Lindt and Jeremy Quest arrived.Unlike what the others had expected, Sharon and Jeremy only asked about Josh’s wound. They didn’t nag him about anything else, but they both seemed unhappy.The two of them sat in the ward for a while before leaving together.After Georgie sent them off, sh
