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
Chapter 2201
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

Smiling warmly, Xyla Quest approached Sharon Lindt from behind to hug her. “Good morning, Mom. It smells wonderful in here. Did you actually bake bread?”“Yes. You mentioned that you like freshly baked bread, so I baked some for you. You can have a few during breakfast later and bring a few more with you to the office. You can eat them when you’re hungry,” Sharon told her.She instantly felt warm in her heart hearing that. Although Sharon wasn’t her birth mother, it felt like she was.Perhaps her own mother wouldn’t even treat her as well as she did.“All right, Mom. You’re so good to me, just like a birth mother would treat her own daughter.”Frankly, she had never lacked anything since she was a child except for one thing... a mother’s love.Her birth mother died when she was still a child, so she never got to experience motherly love.She was able to experience that with Sharon.Her life was complete now that a missing piece of her childhood had been filled.“Silly child.

When Xyla Quest came downstairs, she looked everywhere for Stanley Batton, but he was nowhere in sight.“Yes. Something came up at the office, so he’s already left,” Sharon Lindt told her.“What happened?”“Nothing major. I think he had to sign a few documents,” Sharon said.“Oh.”Seeing that her mother-in-law declined her help, she turned around and walked into the living room with light footsteps. She then spent some time playing with her two children.They seemed like a happy family.Sharon kept herself busy in the kitchen while feeling overjoyed to see everyone enjoying themselves outside.She thought that she must’ve rescued the galaxy in her past life to deserve to live such a great life now with a wonderful daughter-in-law like Xyla.She soon finished preparing breakfast that included a tray of delicious-looking bread in various shapes and sizes, three sets of vegetable-and-fruit salad, three sunny-side-up eggs, toasts, freshly made blueberry jam, and orange-flavored
