Ron Batton nodded. After that, he impatiently unscrewed the porcelain bottle and excitedly surveyed its contents.Inside, there were small, black pills the size of small grains.“I didn’t expect that Yaksha would be able to solve the problem that has been bothering me for years!” Ron was very excited. He had a joyful look in his eyes.Perhaps, his favorite grandson could finally be cured!“Leave it to me… I’ll help you guys…” Ron added.“It’s okay. I’ll do it myself… If I encounter anything I don’t understand, I’ll ask you for help,” Xyla said.“You’re very busy with work. Allow me. Besides, I’m free most of the time. It gets awfully boring,” Ron said.Seeing how Ron was eager to take over, Xyla didn’t say anything else. She nodded gently. “Alright, I’ll be leaving for work, Grandpa.”Ron smiled. “Okay. Be careful on the road…”After getting into her red Maserati, Xyla headed to Quest Group under her bodyguards’ protection.***Once Xyla was done with Quest Group’s work, she
“You’re welcome. Work hard, Jay. I think you’ll do great,” Xyla Quest said.“Alright,” Jay Corben said.After that, he got out of the car.Xyla, on the other hand, quickly turned the car around and led the entourage of cars back to her house…When she arrived home, Stanley Batton was already cooking in the kitchen.The living room was filled with the faint smell of the smoke from the food.The only thing in the world that soothed one’s heart was the smell of home-cooked food.Xyla’s heart suddenly felt warm.After putting down her purse, she went to wash her hands before walking into the kitchen…At this moment, Stanley was standing in front of the stove as he flipped the braised pork over in the pot.The meat seemed very enticing with its fine glow.Stanley was still wearing a white shirt, black pants, and a black silk apron over his attire.Clearly, he was only cooking, but he seemed like a male lead in a television drama series when he was doing it.“Wait for dinner in
“It’s impossible to explain in a few words. It’s better if you check it out on Weibo,” Georgie Clementine said. She sounded a little angry.“Okay.” Xyla Quest hung up the phone calmly. Curious, she opened Weibo’s list of hot topics.Hot topic number one, ‘#Xyla Quest and Jay Corben#’.Hot topic number two, ‘#Xyla Quest#’.Hot topic number three, ‘#Jay Corbe#’.After tapping on the first hot topic, Xyla saw a lot of posts from marketing accounts. There were photos of her and Jay in the car…The photos looked like they were taken from far away. All of them were very blurry, and the quality seemed extremely poor.However, their silhouettes could still be vaguely seen.Some of the photos were taken from very bizarre angles…Clearly, Xyla was unbuckling Jay’s seat belt. However, it looked like Xyla was doing something improper with her head on Jay’s thigh from the photos.There were similar texts attached to each post by marketing accounts.“Today, one of Jay’s obsessive fans pho
“Xyla, do you get what the gossip is about now?” Georgie Clementine asked.“Yes, I do…” Xyla Quest said.“Hurry up and clarify things. Otherwise, the more widespread it becomes, the more bizarre it gets. Most importantly, it also affects you and Stanley’s image,” Georgie added.“Okay. I’ll clarify things. Don’t worry,” Xyla said.After talking for a while, Xyla hung up the phone.Right then, Stanley Batton came in with a plate of braised pork.The braised pork he made seemed so delicious and aromatic that it made Xyla hungry.Stanley walked up behind her and placed the braised pork in front of her.“Enjoy… Don’t look at your phone,” Stanley whispered next to her ear as he propped one hand on the table.Xyla’s body was half-covered by his arms. With them being so close to each other, there was an endless sense of love in the air.Stanley’s warm breath once again spread around her earlobe. There was an electrifying sensation that tingled her.Suddenly, endless ripples were sti
When Stanley Batton didn’t speak, he looked as cool and noble as ever.Right then, Xyla Quest also saw that Josh Batton had forwarded her Weibo post. “Stop creating rumors. My brother and my sister-in-law have a great relationship. Do you know what an error in angle perception means?”In the next second, Xyla saw Jay Corben forwarding her post too. “Some people should stop making malicious speculations. Be a normal person, please.”Right after that, Xyla saw that the comment section under her post was bombarded with messages.All sorts of things were mentioned.“How did you just happen to run into Jay two times in a row?”“Never mind the first time you bumped into him at the mall. Where did you bump into him this time?”“Your chances of running into celebrities are a little high, aren’t they? I think Stanley and Josh were just saying those things to keep a decent image for their family’s sake.”“I agree with the comment above. I also feel that Stanley and Josh were just explain
Stanley Batton exited Weibo after reading through everything. “Alright, now, it’s time to eat,” he looked at Xyla Quest and said.Xyla nodded while picking up her dining utensils. She then glanced at the list of hot topics.Hot topic number one, ‘#Xyla Quest is X Entertainment’s boss# Explosive’.Hot topic number two, ‘#Xyla Quest is a hidden big boss# Explosive’.Hot topic number three, ‘#Xyla Quest is Jay Corben’s boss# Boiling’.Hot topic number four, ‘#Xyla Quest, please accept my apology# Boiling’.Xyla didn’t have to read further to know that those were all positive comments about her… Hence, she put her phone aside and started to enjoy the food Stanley had made for her.“Have some more.” Stanley slowly and methodically placed a piece of braised pork on her plate.“Thank you, honey,” Xyla said with a smile.***After dinner, Stanley was responsible for doing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen and the dining room.Xyla, on the other hand, casually returned to the
Suddenly, Xyla Quest felt her heart rising up to her throat…She felt as if countless electric currents were coursing through her veins, and her entire body was so numb that she could not stand straight.Subconsciously, Xyla pushed both hands against Stanley Batton’s muscular chest in resistance. Her gaze softened as she looked at his exquisitely stunning eyes. “What are you doing? Don’t you need to get back to the office?”“Yeah…” Stanley said.“So, why aren’t you leaving yet?” Xyla asked.“Let me give you a kiss before I go…” Stanley said.As soon as he finished his sentence, he passionately kissed Xyla on her lips.After a very long time, Stanley reluctantly let go of Xyla. He held her face and started whispering, “If it weren’t because of work, I really wouldn’t want to let you go…”His tone was affectionate, soothing, and provocative at the same time. Instantly, Xyla felt ripples stirring up in her chest.Xyla immediately blushed. “Hurry up. Get to the office,” she said.
Rachel Wood nodded with a smile. “Yeah, it tastes good…” She said softly.“Alright… Since you mentioned it, having shabu-shabu at home really does feel different,” Sebastian Brenand said.Previously, he loved the excitement of the great outdoors, strong alcohol, beautiful women, and freedom.But now, he loved the simple life of home-cooked food and spending time with his loved ones.The several days he spent with Rachel after getting back together was the best days in his life…He liked this kind of life where he worked hard for a living during the day and returned home at night to have dinner with his lover.After experiencing all the excitement in life, he found that he liked this kind of calm life.This was his first time realizing that a calm and quiet life could be wonderful too.“My parents have been traveling abroad recently. Once they return in two days, I’ll bring you to meet them and talk to them about us getting married…” Sebastian said.“What if your parents don’t
