After a busy day, Stanley Batton finally made it home in the heavy snowfall.He could see the lights in the house were left on for him the moment he looked up.That was the most heart-warming feeling in the world.Although it was chilly outside due to the gusting winds, he felt warm on the inside…Stanley ordered his men to move all the things he had bought into the living room.After that, he walked into the house in a carefree manner.The heavy snowing continued.When he walked inside, there was snow on his shoulder and hair.Stanley gently flicked the snow away using the tip of his finger. After that, he changed into his slippers and walked up the stairs.The temperature in the house was up to thirty degrees.It felt just like summer.After entering the house, he started feeling very warm.He then took off his black coat and placed it over his arm.Barely making any noise, he walked upstairs and toward the master bedroom.As soon as he pushed the door open, he could se
Stanley Batton picked up the call earnestly. “Professor Caines…”“Sorry to be calling you this late. When your assistant, Zack Cassidy, delivered the stuff to me today, I was occupied with something else and forgot about it…“I only remembered half an hour ago. Hence, I quickly got up and did the verification test for you. When the results came out, I gave Zack a call…“Zack told me that you weren’t asleep yet and that you just returned from a business trip. He asked me to contact you…“Back when Zack delivered the stuff to me, I had a critical governmental task. I wanted to test your stuff for you after I was done…“Who knew… After I was done, other governmental tasks came one after another. I… Uhm…” Professor Caines sounded like he was drowned in self-blame.Stanley pinched his forehead exhaustedly. After that, he looked at Xyla Quest, who seemed all ears. He tapped on the loudspeaker button.After that, he gently ruffled Xyla’s hair and looked at the phone. “So, what’s the re
Xyla Quest barely had to do anything to win the match.In just twelve minutes, her teammates had carried her to victory.Thanks to the game, she was successfully distracted.However, the moment the game ended, her thoughts began to cloud again.Xyla wondered what would happen to her and Stanley Batton next.She also wondered what kind of trouble their creditor would stir up in their lives.When she thought of this, she subconsciously rubbed her stomach.She was still carrying her unborn children.Xyla felt truly afraid that enmities among the adults might end up harming the children.She felt even more flustered at this thought.After taking a deep breath, Xyla glanced at the clock on the wall.Sensing that Stanley should almost be done cooking the noodles, she put on her slippers and headed downstairs.The indoor temperature was very high.Xyla was only wearing a thin, silk pajama.Even so, she still felt very warm.When she made it downstairs, she was shocked by all th
It was Zack Cassidy…Stanley Batton immediately answered the call.“Mr. Batton, you’re not asleep yet,” Zack said.“Not yet. What’s the matter?” Stanley asked.“Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if I could take leave to return to my hometown…“My mother just called. She said my father doesn’t have much time left…” Zack said.He sounded like he had been crying.When Stanley heard this, his facial expression instantly became stern.He quickly handed over the food in his hands to Xyla Quest.After that, he took a step forward. “Okay… Take my private helicopter… You can use any of my resources… You don’t have to inform me what you’ve used,” Stanley said.In a luxury bedroom on the other side, Zack’s eyes filled with tears when he heard this…He instantly sniffed and tried to maintain his masculine composure. “Alright… Thank you, Mr. Batton…”After that, Zack hung up.When he recalled what Stanley said, he immediately felt warmth spread in his chest.He silently swore in his
The bathroom door was closed.Xyla Quest could hear water splashing.It made her feel even more restless.Xyla put her phone down and walked into the bathroom to brush her teeth as she had eaten something earlier.The moment she walked in, she could see Stanley Batton’s fully naked body.Regardless of how much time had passed, Xyla still couldn't resist being tempted.She quickly looked away. After that, she turned on the faucet and picked up her toothbrush. She put some toothpaste on the toothbrush and began to brush her teeth…The two of them focused on their tasks.When Xyla finished brushing her teeth, Stanley happened to be done with his bath.He reached for a towel from a nearby rack to dry his hair and body.After that, he reached for a bathrobe and slowly put it on.With his hair still wet, he walked over to Xyla.Not saying a word, he picked Xyla up and put her on their large bed.His simple act was a huge tease for Xyla.Stanley pressed the tip of his nose again
It was Stanley Batton’s phone that rang.Stanley slowly picked up his phone and glanced at it.It was a friend request on WeChat.The person’s profile picture was a charming female anime avatar.Her nickname was ‘Sexy Chick’.Stanley frowned slightly before locking his phone and tossing it aside.He did now show any unnecessary emotions from the beginning.Xyla naturally wrapped her arms around his neck. “Who was that?” she asked softly.“I don’t know. It’s a friend request. I ignored it,” Stanley said.“Why did you ignore it? What if it’s someone important?” Xyla asked.“From that nickname, it doesn’t sound like someone important,” Stanley said.“Alright then… It’s probably a beautiful lady who has a crush on you…” Xyla said.With that, Xyla chuckled for a moment as she joked around with Stanley.She wasn’t curious about that person’s nickname.Many people longed to be with Stanley. One more or one less didn’t make a difference.“Let’s continue with our topic earlier. T
They were thinking of the nine-tailed fox demon.Suddenly, Xyla Quest thought of something…She sat upright and looked at Stanley Batton.“Honey… Are you asleep?” Xyla asked.Stanley slowly opened his eyes. “Hmm, not yet…”“Did you give Professor Caines all the fox fur?” Xyla asked.“Yeah. What’s the matter?” Stanley asked.“I suddenly thought of something…” Xyla said.“What is it?” Stanley asked.“When I use my special vision, I can see an object’s history…” Xyla said.“Do you think I could do so too if I use my special vision on the fox fur?“If I could, I’d be able to see what happened to the fox before it lost its fur, as well as what it looked like…“Perhaps, I might even be able to see the fox’s past…“Although I’m fairly certain that the nine-tailed fox from my dreams was the one that hurt our maid… I still want to use my special vision to find out… I want to see if it’s possible to look into this nine-tailed fox’s past,” Xyla said.One could only win a fight by kn
Xyla Quest saw a white nine-tailed fox strolling near her family’s house.When a cold breeze blew against it, it slowly opened its mouth.It had extremely sharp fangs.The fangs looked completely different from those of ordinary foxes.It sent chills down Xyla’s spine.After the fox strolled around for a while, it turned into a golden ray of light.In the next second, it teleported into the Quest family’s garden.Right then, the maid who was previously injured walked over.The fox pounced at the maid.After injuring the maid’s eye, it turned into a golden ray of light and disappeared.When it disappeared, it left behind quite a fair amount of fur.Those white fur was then dispersed by the northerly winds, leaving the maid behind on her own as she screamed in pain and fell to the ground.Xyla continued to use her special vision…However, she couldn’t see anything else.The scene of the maid falling to the ground was the last one.The golden light…The nine-tailed fox.T
