Where could one find a loving husband like Stanley Batton?However, the executive soon realized he had said something inappropriate. “I’m sorry, that was inappropriate. I got too excited and said the wrong thing.”“It’s fine,” Stanley replied.The guy was speechless as Stanley was very tolerant today.“All right, we’re done for the day. Nobody needs to work overtime today,” Stanley declared.Everyone cheered internally.Perhaps Xyla Quest could attain more accomplishments so that people would shower her with compliments, resulting in the staff being able to leave work on time daily.While everyone watched, Stanley took out his phone and dialed Xyla’s number. “Honey, what are you up to?”He sounded completely different from when he talked to other people.However, everyone had gotten used to it.They all exchanged glances before letting out a long sigh of relief.“I’m working.

How do you feel about your wife’s recent accomplishment?”“Mr. Batton, you must be ecstatic! Can I ask if Ms. Quest faced many difficulties in the process of creating this medicine?”“Mr. Batton, can I ask if Ms. Quest decided on the cost price on her own or if you both decided on it together?”“Mr. Batton, are you here to congratulate your wife on her success?”“Mr. Batton, how do you feel about your wife driving up your company’s stock price?” Stanley halted in his tracks when he heard the last question.Turning around slowly, he looked at the female reporter who asked the question.She stood in front of the crowd with a hopeful look in her eyes.The moment their eyes met, she was captivated by his gaze, her heart hammering in excitement.Stan

At the time, Xyla Quest was still deeply engrossed in her paperwork.Seeing Stanley Batton walk over, she instantly relaxed.There was something magical about this man.No matter how exhausted she felt, she always subconsciously relaxed whenever she saw him.She joyfully approached him and grabbed his arm upon seeing her favorite strawberry-flavored milk tea in his hand. “This is from my favorite store.”Stanley affectionately rumpled her hair. “Yes.”“Did you have to queue for it?” Xyla asked.“Yeah,” he replied.“Thank you, Honey.”At this moment, Xyla felt touched by his dedication to her.Stanley poked a hole through the lid with a straw and handed the cup over to Xyla. “Drink.”She accepted the milk tea and took a sip.It was very sweet.She then reached for his hand and led him over to the couch before sitting down, leaning against him while she drank. “Did the reporters annoy you downstairs?”“Hmm, it wasn’t too bad,” Stanley stated.“Did you answer their question

Betty wants to cook your favorite dishes for you,” Jeremy said.“Yeah, okay. Sure,” she replied.“I saw the news, Xyla. You really are outstanding.

The entire house was full of balloons and flowers of various colors, giving a wonderful and lively ambiance.The fragrant scent of the flowers wafted through the air in the warm space.It was very soothing.The view that came into sight looked as wonderful as a fairy tale.After looking around, Xyla Quest found Jeremy Quest and Betty Starmount in the midst of a discussion as they sat in front of the coffee table.There was a huge bouquet of white roses in front of them.Xyla counted ninety-nine roses in total.She was slightly confused by the extravagant scene.What was her father up to, setting up such lavish decorations and even inviting her home for dinner?Perhaps he was preparing to get married.Right about then, Jeremy and Betty realized that Xyla and Stanley Batton had arrived.Her father carried the flowers joyfully over to her, with Betty following close behind, smiling from ear to ear.Jeremy placed the bouquet in her arms, where an alluring scent of roses filled

After ensuring it was tender enough, Betty Starmount turned off the stove, then retrieved a box from her pocket that contained a mysterious black powder. She sprinkled the powder over the dish, quickly dissolving into the sauce without a trace.She then cleaned the box and tossed it into the trash can before carefully carrying the braised pork into the dining room.She stood staring at the dish for a long while with trepidation upon placing the dish on the table. She then returned to the kitchen and brought all the other dishes into the dining room.The dishes included braised pork, pork ribs, sour-and-spicy stir-fried potato strips, steamed fish, sea cucumber with scallions, bird’s nests, and savory duck stew.Everything looked appetizing and smelled great.Once the table had been set, she went to address everyone in the living room. “Dinner is ready, everybody.”Jeremy was joyfully holding Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton’s hands as he spoke to them.Seeing his joyful grin, Betty

She imagined her adorable baby doing flips in her stomach while she ate.She was able to visualize her baby growing each day in her stomach, as well as her loving husband and father by her side.Xyla felt like she was the luckiest girl in the world.After dinner at the Quest family’s house, Xyla and Stanley Batton strolled out of the house, holding each other’s hand.It was cloudy outside, and snow the size of goose feathers fell from the sky.The large snowflakes glistened brightly under the lights.The courtyard was covered in a white blanket, looking clean and picturesque.“Honey, why don't we take a leisurely walk home right now? We can leave the car behind and then send someone over to get it tomorrow,” Xyla suggested.“Okay.” Stanley would never turn down any of her requests.He removed his black coat and then draped it over Xyla’s white coat. “I
