Xyla Quest nodded, finding herself in a much better mood now that she'd received news about Sophie Kenwick.She slowly got out of bed and pulled Stanley Batton into the bathroom for a shower.Then, he changed clothes and waited for Xyla, who took her time in the bathroom before changing into a white, laced skirt.Since the weather here was much warmer than in Country Z, wearing skirts seemed more appropriate.She stood in front of the mirror to put on some simple makeup, starting with applying a single layer of moisturizer on her face, followed by foundation.Her eyebrows were naturally dark, while her lips were naturally red, so she didn't bother with them to save time.Her face seemed pretty enough.After casually drying her hair, the couple held hands and walked out the door into the night. The stars seemed plentiful and bright at their deserted location away from the city, creating a peaceful environment.Under the sky full of stars, they strolled hand-in-hand along a roa

“No wonder! This restaurant is pretty awesome,” Xyla Quest declared.“I invited him to come,” Stanley Batton told her.“Oh, impressive! I like his food.”He then took a bite of a piece of medium-rare beef. “Do you?” he asked, lowering his gaze to cut a piece of beef before feeding it to her.“Yeah, I do,” she nodded with a smile, chewing in contentment.“That’s settled, then. I’ll hire the chef to work at our house from now on,” he decided.“Let’s not," she said hastily. "You know I’m not used to having too many strangers in the house.”“In that case, forget it. I’ll learn a few things from this chef and do the cooking from now on.”“Okay, but I think my husband is better than any Michelin star chef,” she teased. She wasn’t lying.Stanley’s cooking skills were indeed on par with Michelin star chefs.He had improved by leaps and bounds after lots of practical cooking experience.“Really?” he questioned, grinning at her words.There wasn’t a man who didn’t like to be prai

Xyla Quest instantly felt her heart calming down at that moment upon seeing Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton. After that, she peeked at Stanley Batton, feeling deeply touched.They were here to have a good time, but she'd wanted to go home because she missed the children.Not only did her husband and parents-in-law not think of her as being troublesome, but they even brought her children to her from home.They were willing to play along to her every whim.She would never forget this warm feeling.Right now, she was so moved that she began to get choked up.“Dad and Mom, thank you,” she smiled with tears in her eyes before reaching for Lynette Batton in Sharon’s arms to hold her.She pressed her face against Lynette’s, then moved closer to Wilson Batton to press a soft kiss on Leon Batton’s forehead.His eyes flew open in an instant, watching her quietly with his glistening eyes.Xyla wished she could become one with her children and never leave them.Meanwhile, Stanley smiled

Wilson Batton, Sharon Lindt, and Stanley Batton soon finished preparing a tableful of dishes for Xyla Quest.Apart from the three dishes she requested, they also prepared shrimps in tomato sauce, oysters with garlic sauce, steamed lobsters, and abalone soup.Feeling happy to see all the food she liked, Xyla was stuffing herself again without realizing it.The family vacation lasted for an entire week, only flying back to Atlantis on their private jet when she wanted to return to the country.After returning to Atlantis, everyone reverted to their own programs.Xyla and Stanley were busy with life and work, while Sharon and Wilson looked after the children.Everyone focused on their own responsibilities, and life was great.Over time, the weather became warm. People in Atlantis went from wearing warmer clothes to summer outfits.Despite the warmer temperature outside, it was always cool in Xyla's office as they had the air-conditioning turned on.Xyla went to X Entertainment to

Xyla Quest finished with work after replying to each email. She immediately stood up, checking the time on her computer again to discover that it was already seven o’clock in the evening.Outside the French windows behind her, she could see lights of greens and reds everywhere.Turning around, she walked over to those windows, mesmerized by the lively night scenery of the city that came into sight.The spotless mirror in front of her reflected her appearance right now.She seemed tired.Feeling some stiffness, Xyla pinched her neck and gently rotated her head slightly, feeling much more relaxed after.She remained standing near the windows to observe the view outside for a while. She then picked up her limited-edition Hermes purse and phone before preparing to leave.Right then, the office door opened, and Stanley Batton strolled in.He wore a white shirt and formal black pants, his long legs apparent with his shirt tucked in.He had the perfect body proportions.Despite se
