Soon, the game began.As soon as the game started, four enemies surrounded two of them in the bottom lane. Unfortunately, Xyla Quest and the Support were killed by them in the very next second due to Xyla’s mistake.The opponent had also broken one of the turret’s plates. Everyone in the stadium was on tenterhooks seeing their awful way to start the game. Xyla’s mistake had also caused a big stir in the live stream pop-ups. “Why doesn’t Xyla run? She could’ve just run! I had high hopes for her, but it turns out that she’s just a noob.”“Why doesn’t she try to run? Why? Ugh, she has ruined my mood.”“Holy sh*t! The bottom lane has already collapsed at the beginning.”“Team QPG is going to lose for sure. I take back what I said about Xyla earlier. She’s a f*cking rookie.”“What was she doing just now? Esport is a high standard competition. Get out of here if you can’t match the level of a professional gamer!”Xyla totally had no idea that people were cursing at her madly o
“What’s going on? This is the best game Team QPG has ever played!”“Her operation was amazing! Did you see that group battle at the end? She dodged all the attacks with her daring maneuver! All of them!”“Cool!!! Xyla is so cool that I felt goosebumps!”The audience screamed like lions.The marvelous game had set pulses racing all over the world. Xyla Quest and the rest of the team members were over the moon with their win. There and then, Xyla felt that she was not so nervous anymore. The competition was just like the regular game, after all. Xyla shined like a star on the stage, whereas Stanley Batton gazed at her with a proud smile off stage. Sharon Lindt and Catherine Batton had already lost their sanity. They were constantly clutching each other’s hands and staring at Xyla with admiration written all over their faces. “Why is my sister-in-law so talented? I’m really impressed by her!” Catherine cried. “My daughter-in-law is the best, okay? I’m falling in love wit
“After the interview, Xyla Quest bowed politely to all the workers before leaving the stage. Suddenly, the audience started screaming at the top of their lungs. “Ahhhhhhh!!! My idol!!!”“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Josh Batton, I love you!!!!!!!!!”Xyla immediately turned in the direction of the noises. A black figure was lowering his cap while dashing to the exit. It was Josh Batton. The audience chased after him, frantically, like a swarm of bees. However, Josh was running very fast. It seemed that they would not easily catch him up. However, even so, Xyla was still worried about his safety. She quickly approached the security guards guarding the stage and ordered, “Follow Josh Batton. Keep an eye on him.”Hearing the order, the security guards ran out of the stadium at once. Stanley Batton stepped forward, slowly sliding his hand into hers. “Don’t worry. There are bodyguards outside. They’ll protect him.”Only then did Xyla get the load off her mind and nodded obediently.
Stanley Batton wrapped his arm around her shoulder and sat quietly. He would gently stroke her hair from time to time. The gorgeous couple was acting all lovey-dovey. Everyone in the room was looking enviously at them. Xyla Quest logged onto her Weibo account to take a look at the trending list today.Five out of the first ten hot topics were about the game tonight. #Josh Batton Watching The Game##Xyla Quest Splendid Operation##Doting Gazes From Xyla Quest’s Husband##Team QPG Victory##Team QPG 3:0#Xyla tapped on the first hot topic. The first thing that came into her sight was a netizen’s screenshot of the live stream just now. In the screenshot, Josh Batton watched Xyla on the stage from afar, his eyes filled with tenderness.Josh’s fans went crazy instantaneously. “I must’ve gone mad! I should’ve gone to the stadium today. Why didn’t I go to watch the match? Ugh, I regret it.” “I didn’t know Xyla and Josh are so close. His schedule is really tight, but he’s
She glared at the chill man resentfully. “Are you even human?”Stretching his long arms, the man pulled her into his embrace and held her tightly, his chin rubbing her hair repeatedly. “This isn’t how you looked just now.”Xyla Quest’s blush seared through her cheeks, all the way to her neck. Her heart leaped up as if it was electrocuted. “Shameless.”“Good girl… I’ll be more careful next time.”Be more careful next time? Was he trying to fool a three-year-old kid? He said that every single time. But guess what?He was only getting more aggressive. “If a man’s word can be trusted, I guess the pigs can live on the tree too.” A chuckle escaped the man’s lips. “Shall we take a bath?” “Okay… Carry me. I can’t move at all.” Xyla wrapped her arms around his neck and pouted. Stanley Batton placed one arm around her back and scooped the other arm around the bend in her knees, lifting her effortlessly. Then, he made his way to the bathroom. He filled the bathtub with warm w
Only then did he understand how lonely it was to wait for someone who would never come home. How many nights did Rachel Wood wait in silence like him right now?As he thought about it, he realized he was unforgivably mean to Rachel in the past. He was heartless. He was a bastard. Irritation spiked Sebastian Brenand as he reminded himself how terrible he was. He got up and lit a cigarette, taking quick drags on it grumpily. He had been smoking really uncontrollably these days. He used to take a couple of cigarettes a day. However, a pack of cigarettes was simply not enough for him to survive a day now. Sebastian was breathless with guilt and exasperation even after he puffed at a few cigarettes. At last, he crushed the butt of the cigarette with his heels and grabbed his phone, calling his assistant, Jean Hanson, sulkily. “Jean, you don’t have to come to work anymore starting tomorrow…”His words startled the sleepy Jean over the other end of the phone. Instantly, he rol
Xyla Quest’s cheeks turned pink instantaneously. “Gosh, it’s not what you’re thinking. I didn’t mean you’re lame in that way…”“What do you mean then?”“It’s just not what you’re thinking…”“Well… I’ll let you know if I’m lame or not, right now.”Xyla was on the verge of tears. She had just recovered from the exhaustion from last night, but her limbs were drained of all energy again now. She weakly lifted her head and caught a glimpse of the clock. It was almost noon. He was a real pain in the neck!!!“Stanley Batton… I warn you not to do this anymore.” Xyla got up from the bed while complaining. Stanley grinned mischievously and sat up. Extending his arm, he pulled her into his embrace once more and gently kissed her forehead. “Okay, I’ll control myself next time.” Upon hearing that, Xyla knew that he was trying to brush her off again!Xyla glanced at him, coldly before putting on a white camisole dress and heading to the bathroom. Stanley simply wrapped a towel arou
She did not know when it started, but Stanley Batton would always be the one preparing the meals as long as they were at home. He would also wash the dishes after they had their meals and did all the other household chores. Everything was contrary to what they had agreed to when they first moved into this house. In the past, both of them would divide the chores equally. However, the situation had changed as time crept by. He was now in charge of all the heavy work. The man seemed to be accustomed to their current lifestyle too. He would automatically settle everything for his girl, spoiling her like a little princess. Xyla Quest had also gotten used to it. She was used to being pampered by him every day. She was used to having her man to take charge of all the household chores.No matter how tough the real world was, she would always be his baby girl in this house. Whenever she returned to their home, he would welcome her with his warm embrace. Likewise, no matter
