“Your father and I are so much happier because of them. Being a senior feels much more exciting now,” Sharon Lindt declared while combing her fingers through Xyla Quest’s hair gently.Xyla wore a soft expression in her eyes. “I’d like to thank you and Dad for looking after the kids.”“It’s an honor to look after our grandchildren," Sharon said. "They are so precious, I’d do anything for them.”Hearing that, Xyla couldn’t resist leaning against her shoulder. “Mom, I honestly feel I must have used up all my luck to marry into the Batton family. I’m so lucky to be your daughter-in-law.”“Silly girl," she said. "We feel very lucky to be your parents-in-law, too. Which family in Atlantis has a prettier and kinder daughter-in-law than you?”Sharon was always saying positive things whenever she talked about Xyla. She seemed to be a true fan of hers.“Oh, stop it," Xyla blushed in embarrassment. "I’m not that perfect.”“Yes, you are. From my perspective, you’re not only the best in Atla

Stanley Batton calmly caressed Xyla Quest’s face. “It’s okay. I’ll be fine once I get used to it.”“What can you do if you don’t get used to it?” Sharon Lindt asked.He was speechless.Seeing that he couldn't retort, Sharon held Xyla’s hand and spoke to her. “Xyla, you just delivered not too long ago. Even though you’re done with postpartum recovery, I still think you shouldn’t tire yourself out.“From now on, you shouldn’t get out of bed so early and try to leave work earlier, too. You don’t have to do all those things yourself. Leave all that to Stanley.“Besides, he is a man, and men seem to have more energy than women anyway,” she added.Xyla couldn’t resist laughing when she heard this.She genuinely felt that Sharon treated her more like her biological daughter than her actual son.Stanley didn’t seem to oppose the idea, though. He nodded in agreement, gently wrapping one arm around her shoulders. “This, I can agree with.”“Did you hear that? Your husband agrees,” his mo

Smiling at her words, Stanley Batton continued adding salad sauce into the glass bowl. “Men should treat their women right.”The nanny had an envious look in her eyes. “There are hardly any forward-thinking men like you these days.”She’d be overjoyed if her daughter could find someone half as decent as Stanley in the future.Although she and Xyla Quest were both women, she could feel the vast difference in their worlds.She couldn't but feel envy for her from the bottom of her heart.He smiled without a reply, focusing on making breakfast.The nanny stepped forward and offered to help upon seeing him make a rather simple meal. “Why don’t you let me do that while you take a break?”“It’s fine. Xyla likes the food I make for her. You can get on with your work,” he replied with a shake of his head.Nodding at his dismissal, the nanny took a bottle of milk from the refrigerator and walked out, leaving the quiet kitchen all to himself.The large space had just enough sunlight in i

A ray of sunlight streamed into the kitchen.It felt like spring outside the French windows.The entire world seemed full of life.Seeing all these early in the morning rejuvenated Xyla Quest as she slowly approached the table just as Sharon Lindt had finished setting it up.“Good morning, Xyla. You’re just in time for breakfast,” Sharon immediately said when she saw her.“Good morning Mom, Dad, and Honey,” she greeted before taking a seat directly next to her husband.“Did you sleep well last night, Xyla?” Sharon asked, gazing affectionately at her when she sat down.She nodded as she glanced at her family, feeling thankful to have them keeping her company after her father died.They were very good to her and never made her feel lacking in love.“Yes, look at how your face is glowing. I knew you’d have slept well. Stan made all your favorites for breakfast today. Have a taste,” Sharon told her before placing an egg-and-ham sandwich in front of her.It was only then that she

Xyla Quest then unlocked her phone and logged in to Weibo to peruse the list of hot topics for today. She immediately noticed her husband's name on one.Hot topic number three; ‘#Stanley Batton waits in line for milk tea#’.Quickly clicking on it, she saw a picture of him waiting in line for her milk tea yesterday evening, published by several marketing accounts.He was standing in the middle of a long queue with approximately twenty people in front of him.Nobody else was more attention-grabbing than Stanley in the crowd.People would spot him at first glance, especially when he had the looks of a handsome male lead in a film or television drama.Even in a crowd, he seemed to be surrounded by countless bright stars, making him more prominent and completely different from the rest.It was like seeing two different species next to each other.The pictures had already garnered many forwards, likes, and comments under the post—“Ahh! D*mn, is Stanley an angel? He looks like a dif

Xyla Quest was very grateful that God brought Stanley Batton into her life.He made her believe in love again when she felt utterly hopeless and allowed her to experience all the best things in the world.On Weibo, netizens were still paying attention to how he had planted flowers all over the city for her.Although she was at the center of attention, she didn’t want to see the comments, so she directly closed the topic.After all, it wasn’t the first time she made it onto the list of hot topics for this reason.Turning around, she gazed at the sea of roses outside, still feeling as touched as she did when she first saw it.Before Stanley showed up in her life, Xyla never thought anyone in the world would love her more than her father.He even treated her like the lead female character in a television drama. He didn't mind if everyone worshipped his wife.Xyla became everyone’s ideal after being with him and had never needed to be envious of anyone else.She had everything she

Xyla Quest picked up her landline to inform her assistant she was ready for a meeting in her office she had arranged with a few top executives the day before.Meanwhile, Stanley Batton sat nearby and played Honor of Kings on his phone with utmost concentration. His silhouette cut an imposing noble figure, looking every bit like an e-Sports professional. He even played like one, defeating every opponent that went against him in the game.For an experienced League of Legends player, Honor of Kings was even easier to play. He certainly seemed to be in his element while he played.Ten minutes later, top-level executives from each department entered Xyla’s office in an orderly fashion.They seemed taken aback to see Stanley as he wasn't expected to be in her office.His presence seemed to fluster the female executives as they seemed unable to tear their eyes away.It was hard for anyone not to notice him with his charismatic aura and appearance, drawing envious looks toward Xyla.

Their lips curved into identical smiles the moment they looked into each other’s eyes.It was what true love was like. Even if two people did nothing, they’d smile when they unintentionally exchanged glances.With her eyes still on Stanley Batton, Xyla Quest leaned back into her chair and continued to run the massage device on herself. “I am exhausted.”He stood up, approached her, and then picked her up to place her on the desk. He sat next to her and took over the massager, carefully running it over her waist. “Is this the right spot?”“Yeah,” she sighed, nodding slightly. "Are you bored?"“No.”“Really? What were you doing earlier?” she asked enthusiastically."I was playing games and watching you," he answered truthfully. "I was watching you most of the time, to be honest.”"You weren't bored?”“No. I never feel bored as long as I can see you,” he said.Knock, knock, knock—Xyla glanced at the door before calling out, “Come in!"Freda, Xyla’s new assistant, walked in, f
