After Sebastian Brenand left, Xyla Quest shifted her gaze to the documents on her desk that were left unsorted.It was already getting late. She didn’t want to stay in the office and make her husband, Stanley Batton, worry so she decided to resume her work the next day.As she powered down the laptop, she turned to look at Sophie Kenwick who was still entertaining herself on the iPad. “Sophie, are you hungry?”Sophie instantly snapped her head up upon hearing the question, hearing her stomach rumbling at the very moment she gazed back at Xyla. Feeling embarrassed, she scratched her head and said sheepishly, "Yeah, I am hungry.” “In that case, let’s go home and eat. I’m sorry for losing track of time and forgetting about dinner,” Xyla said.Sophie immediately shook her head. “It’s fine, Master.”She then quickly stepped forward and picked up Xyla’s purse and phone, completely giving up on her pride as a former princess and embodying her role as Xyla’s bodyguard.Once everyth
A strange sense of familiarity and sadness caused Stanley Batton’s eyes to well with tears.All these weird feelings in his heart were unusual for him.Why did this girl in front of him feel so familiar?In fact, he even felt emotionally hurt on her behalf.He had a nagging feeling that there was an unusual connection between him and this girl in the past.Stanley took a deep breath and addressed Sophie Kenwick. “We… Have we met?”She shook her head while she took in his odd reaction. “No. What’s the matter?” She seemed confused.Stanley frowned and continued to study her face. “Nothing…”Sophie nodded slightly, not fully believing what he said.His reaction made Xyla curious as well.She instantly held his hand gently. “What is it?”Stanley shook his head. “We’ll talk later.”Xyla nodded before pulling Sophie over. “I haven’t officially introduced you two. This is Sophie Kenwick.”The girl extended her hand excitedly to Stanley. “It's nice to meet you, I’m Sophie,” she sa
Stanley Batton felt increasingly confused from the depths of his heart.He immediately looked up toward Sophie Kenwick while she cheerfully skipped away.She seemed so familiar from behind, as well.As he gazed at her, an unfamiliar scene appeared before his eyes.He was in a traditional-looking room, where a girl wearing a red silk robe was playing a string instrument with her back to him.The tune she played was the tune Sophie was humming along just then.The unfamiliar scene disappeared as suddenly as it appeared, not giving him enough time to verify that the girl was Sophie.What was going on?Was he hallucinating, or was this part of his forgotten memories?Was that girl in the vision Sophie?If she was, what was the nature of their relationship?When Xyla Quest saw her husband's distraction, she immediately grasped his hand. “Darling, what’s wrong with you? What happened?” she asked softly.Why did he act so strangely after the young girl showed up?She had never se
Stanley Batton held Xyla Quest’s face with a loving look on his face, gazing deeply into her glistening eyes. “Xyla, I won’t abandon you for anyone.”“You’re my one and only in this lifetime. No matter how much I cared for her in the past, I would not leave you.“Since everything had already ended in my past life, I’ll let it stay in the past.“If she was my family member in the past, I’ll treat her well and protect her.“But if she was my lover back then, I’ll still treat her kindly, but I won’t love her in this lifetime,” Stanley added.Xyla instantly felt overwhelming warmth in her heart when she heard his words.She then smiled. “I was joking with you, you fool. Why did you take it so seriously?”“You may have asked the question casually, but I can’t reply to it carelessly. Xyla, it’s because I care about you and your feelings. Since I love you so deeply, I won’t allow you to think recklessly,” he replied.“Thank you for loving me this much, Darling. Thank you for letting m
Stanley Batton was a normal man.To avoid going any further, he pulled Xyla Quest away once again. “I’ll take a shower.”She nodded. “Okay, go ahead.”He then turned around and entered the bathroom, taking a cold shower to calm himself down.After he had left, Xyla sat down on the couch and picked up her laptop.At first, she wanted to get some work done, but after sitting down, she felt exhausted.So, she logged into League of Legends and decided to play a few rounds to relax.She would continue working after dinner.When Xyla logged into the game, she saw that members of Team XS were all online.She didn’t plan on playing with them, so she prepared to play on her own.But before she could choose the game mode, Alex sent her a message. “Boss, you’re finally online!”“Yeah, what are you up to?” she asked.“I’m doing a livestream,” he replied.“Okay, keep it up.”“Do you want to play a match together? I’ll play as your Support. I’m very good at it,” he stated.Right the
“Yes,” Alex replied.“Fine. Since she’s your boss, you’d naturally play as her Support. Umm, nice to meet you, Xyla,” The One said.“Nice to meet you, Xyla. Sorry about being rude earlier. I’m a huge fan of your good looks and skills,” Xin said.“Xyla, can I add you as my friend? I’ll do whatever you ask me to,” Crazy spoke up.“Me, too. I’m very good at playing as Support as well. Please add me.”Xyla Quest instantly smiled when she saw how enthusiastic everyone seemed.She had a charming smile.“Sure, you can all add me later,” Summer replied.“I have the eSports legend herself on my friend list. I feel like I’m glowing!” The One said.“I feel like my entire house is glowing! I’m so lucky,” Xin said.“I feel like my entire house is floating in the sky,” Crazy said, not to be outdone.Xyla didn’t know how to respond.“…” Summer replied.“…” Alex replied.On Alex’s livestream channel—“Hahaha! These are talented people in the world of streamers. Crazy, Xin and The One ce
Xyla Quest hadn’t used Kalista as her hero for a while now, so she made that her choice.Subsequently, the other players also selected their heroes, and then the game began.Alex and Xyla became engrossed with it once it started, both using their impressive skills to barrage their way through the bottom lane. Within ten minutes, they managed to destroy one of their enemy’s Inhibitors.Four enemy heroes came to surround them the moment it was destroyed, but none of their teammates could teleport to them.Their teammates promptly started making their way toward them on foot when they saw that they had been surrounded.Xyla and Alex were the two pillars of the team. They couldn’t afford to die.However, neither of them panicked.Instead, they both calmly faced their four opponents, and with their accurate maneuvers, they managed to dodge all the skills from their opponents while attacking them in return.They managed to kill all four of their opponents together, even with full hea
Xyla Quest saw herself in silver armor. She was running for her life in the middle of nowhere with Sophie Kenwick, with countless soldiers chasing after them from behind.Sophie, clad in a traditional robe, was running in front of Xyla, looking visibly nervous.There was dust everywhere.Those soldiers, who were carrying bows and arrows, were shouting for them to stop running, firing arrow after arrow at them. In such a critical circumstance, Xyla gave her all to escape with Sophie. Until an arrow pierced through her neck, spilling blood, but yet she continued to run and tried to protect the girl.That was where the flashback ended.The vision made Xyla feel even more curious about her past, convinced that it was a vivid memory from her past life.She was also sure that she was somehow related to Sophie, not only to the nine-tailed demon fox.From her attire in that vision, she didn’t seem like an ordinary woman but perhaps a female commander.She also seemed to have died for
