When Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton arrived home, all they could hear was the sound of children laughing, their voices mellow and pleasant.Suddenly, all the exhaustion felt by them faded away as their hearts melted at that moment. After quickly changing their shoes, they walked into the living room to see the twins kicking their feet and laughing joyfully on the playmat.Meanwhile, Wilson Batton, Sharon Lindt, and the nannies kept them entertained with various toys and playful expressions.The children also seemed to be playing along, judging by their beaming smiles and the pure looks in their eyes. Their parents subconsciously began smiling at the sight.“Xyla, you’re home,” Sharon stated while looking at her daughter-in-law.Wilson instantly looked up when he heard this, his attention on her as well. “Did you have a long day at work?”They both seemed to only address their questions to Xyla as she held Stanley’s hand before stepping onto the playmat. “Hmm, it wasn’t too ba
Xyla Quest was like an angel to the children, being even more gentle than she was in the past.Seeing his wife like this made Stanley Batton adore her even more.He felt like the happiest man in the world when he watched his beautiful wife and adorable children together.Likewise, Xyla also felt like the happiest woman in the world and wished the joy and peace would last a while longer.She wanted it to last as long as possible, even forever.The one thing she was most afraid of now was that their peace would get disrupted by something from the outside world, despite knowing it would happen sooner or later.Thinking about it made her distracted.Wilson Batton and Sharon Lindt approached her with bird’s nest and chicken soup right then, setting the bowls down as they spoke at the same time—“Xyla, have some chicken soup.”“Xyla, have some bird’s nests.”Both dishes looked appetizing.She was already famished, so looking at those made her even hungrier.“Is there only a singl
Xyla Quest immediately turned her attention to Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton. “To be honest, Stanley doesn’t have it easy either.”She wished they could be more concerned about Stanley Batton too.“Isn’t it only right for men to work hard? Otherwise, who would take care of the family? How else would we have such a wonderful daughter-in-law?” Sharon asked.“That’s right. I agree,” Wilson spoke up.She didn’t know how to respond to that.“Honey, you should drink the chicken soup while it's warm. I’ll get my own,” Stanley urged.After that, he handed Lynette Batton over to his father before heading into the kitchen.Right then, his mother picked up the bowl of chicken soup and began carefully feeding Xyla as if she was taking care of a baby.Xyla felt uneasy about it as her parents-in-law already had to take care of the children, and cook for the family.She didn’t want to have things done for her all the time.Setting Lynette down, she reached for the bowl of chicken soup inst
Xyla Quest immediately shook her head. “No thanks, Mom. I’ve had enough meat today.”Besides, she still had a bowl full of chicken drumstick meat.Stanley Batton obediently put his chicken drumstick into her bowl. “Have some more,” he said with a smile.He was used to all this and didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.However, she felt uneasy. “Honey, it’s fine. Have some yourself.”She didn’t want him to feel even worse.Meanwhile, the nannies exchanged glances, once again taken aback by how great Xyla’s parents-in-law were.“Don’t mind him. Just eat it,” Sharon Lindt said, feeding her a piece of meat he had put into her bowl.Xyla felt even more guilty when she ate it, feeling sorry for her husband, whose status in his own family was worsening by the day.“Mom, you should look after Stanley, too,” she said softly, shooting a pointed look at her mother-in-law.Sharon couldn’t stand it when Xyla looked at her like this, knowing she’d cave in each time.She smiled, s
Right then, Leon Batton started laughing as he looked at Xyla Quest, warming her heart.She held him gently in her arms and smiled. “Leon, what are you laughing at? Hmm?”He continued to laugh while looking at her.He was beaming.Seeing Leon smile like this put Xyla in a great mood.A child’s smile was the purest thing in the world. It could put anyone at ease.No matter what Xyla encountered out there, she’d feel better whenever she came home to Leon and Lynette Batton.Soon, Stanley Batton finished doing the dishes and came back to sit down next to his wife, picking up his daughter carefully.“Mr. Batton, do you have a favorite between your daughter or your son?” one of the nannies asked.“I love both of them equally,” he answered without hesitation at the question. “My children are the most wonderful gifts Xyla has ever given me.”He really didn’t prefer either of his children more than the other.He loved them equally and fairly.In his world, men and women were equals
After that, the couple worked on their individual interests.Xyla Quest watched videos of trainees taking examinations on her laptop while Stanley Batton sorted through work emails on his laptop.Although they were both quietly engrossed with different things, they felt completely at ease next to each other in their room.The standard of trainees in X Entertainment was much improved, impressing Xyla by what she saw.Every single one of the trainees was capable of launching solo careers. Most importantly, they all looked good, with both sexes possessing exquisite facial features that made them stand out in different ways.X Entertainment rarely hired trainees who had undergone cosmetic surgeries before.They each had their own unique qualities.Watching attractive people always makes one feel happy.Xyla felt in an even better mood when she saw their lovely faces.After Stanley sorted through some documents, he began a video conference with high-level executives in foreign su
Stanley Batton hadn't turned off his microphone, so participants on the conference call could see and hear him clearly.Hence, they were all charmed by the man as they began exchanging knowing looks and smiles on camera.Beside him, Xyla Quest shook her head. “It’s fine, you can continue. I’ll keep you company.”“Okay,” he uttered before shifting his attention back to the conference call.Suddenly, his facial expression turned cold again, a complete one-eighty from when he looked at Xyla earlier.Everyone was already used to how he possessed double standards when it came to his wife, so they all merely looked at each other and smiled as the meeting continued.However, the top executives were all privately envious of his wife, wishing he would speak to them as he spoke to her.If that happened, they wouldn’t have to feel so nervous when they saw him.Even if it was only a conference call, they had to be attentive and not make a single mistake in their presentations.Approximate
“I’m tired of saying I’m envious of Xyla.”“If Xyla and Stanley ever get a divorce, I won’t believe in love anymore.”“Ahh, Stanley is like the ideal male protagonist in a novel, isn’t he? He’s the real-life dominant CEO!”“Stanley is the ideal husband in every woman’s heart, isn’t he? Xyla is indeed the luckiest woman on the internet.”“Xyla is extremely pretty. I have to work hard for several years to afford just one of the accessories she’s wearing!”Everyone was praising Xyla Quest in the comment section.She briefly glanced through the comments emotionlessly before exiting the topic. They were nothing she hadn't heard before since she was a child.She was constantly offered flowers, praises, and applause apart from an awkward phase growing up.She checked on the list of hot topics again, finding many of them related to her and her husband.‘#Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton#’, ‘#Xyla is the luckiest woman in the world#’, and ‘#Stanley is the real-life version of a male prota
