Everyone instantly nodded at her suggestion.“Let’s go for that. I want to eat fish too,” Annabeth Cates said excitedly.Josh Batton had an affectionate look in his eyes as he gently touched her face. “Fish it is, then.”“Okay, as you wish,” Stanley Batton replied with a smile.Everyone was on the same page.Soon, they arrived at the restaurant that Xyla Quest recommended. It had a relatively affordable price range, so the clientele consisted of ordinary folks.The interior design was also relatively basic, unlike those they frequented in high-class restaurants.Even so, Xyla and the rest were still very excited.For them, it didn't matter how high-class the place was, but the taste of the food was more important.Josh and Annabeth, who were still under disguise, entered inconspicuously behind Xyla and Stanley while they requested for a private room.Then, they all headed upstairs together.The seemingly elegant and outstanding party of four instantly attracted attention as

The waitress reluctantly left the private dining room, feeling like the luckiest person in the world as the door closed.Not only did she get to see Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton in person, but she also got to meet her beloved idol.Feeling wonderful, she walked down the stairs with lightened footsteps.Once the waitress had left, everyone in the private dining room felt more relaxed as they leaned back against their chairs.“Xyla, Team XS was amazing tonight. I’ve become a fan. I never used to like such things, but I think I might have fallen in love with eSports after tonight,” Annabeth Cates said as she rested her head against Josh Batton’s shoulder.She found herself attracted to the unyielding spirit of eSports after being able to experience it herself today.Xyla brightened up when she heard her. “All right, let’s watch competitions together from now on.”Annabeth nodded.“Annabeth, you could understand the game?” Stanley asked.“Yes, I can. I used to play it for a while

Sharon Lindt appeared unconcerned. “Why does it matter? People your age should stay out late. You’re not old, so what’s the concern about coming home before midnight?”Xyla Quest couldn’t help but laugh at this.Stanley Batton calmly walked over and sat down next to his wife. “My parents don’t mind.”“Yes, it’s fine if you want to stay up all night. You both should enjoy your lives while you’re still young. Your mother and I would stay up all night sometimes, too,” Wilson Batton spoke up.Xyla’s smile gradually widened, recalling the videos she’d recently seen of people complaining about their mothers-in-law on TikTok.Their mothers-in-law would often nag at them for getting home late and not looking after their children due to work.Some would even nag at them despite staying at home to look after their children every day.Compared to these people, Xyla was even more content with her life, feeling like she was practically living in heaven.She was very much at peace.“That’s

“Would you get tired of me one day if I keep behaving like this?” Xyla Quest asked.“No. I would never get tired of you,” Stanley Batton answered in earnest.“Really?” she asked.“I’ll get struck by lightning if I’m lying,” he said, prompting Xyla to place her finger hastily on his lips.“What are you saying? Don’t say nonsense like that!”“Let’s go and check on our kids,” she said, holding his hand before they returned to the living room.She picked up Leon Batton while her husband carried Lynette Batton.The twins seemed more aware now as they instantly reached out to touch their parents' faces as they were held.As soon as their tiny hands touched Xyla and Stanley’s faces, their gazes softened at once.She looked affectionately at Leon’s face. “Leon, did you miss Mommy? Hmm?”He didn’t respond except to gently caress her face with his chubby hands, peering quietly at his mother with clear eyes.It seemed like there was a sea of stars in his eyes.Xyla felt as if she was

The internet was taken by storm on the day their charity foundation was established, with netizens expressing their support for Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton’s initiative.People even created brand new emojis of the couple to convey how good-looking, kind, and generous they were.Xyla and Stanley held a charity banquet to promote the foundation and encourage donations during the launch, inviting many people from wealthy folks to celebrities in Country Z.The couple had booked the entire Atlantis International Hotel to hold the event.By nightfall, the grand charity banquet was underway at the hotel's largest hall, covering an area of 500 square meters adorned with fresh flowers, balloons, and bright lights everywhere.All invitees had arrived fashionably dressed, already settled in their allocated seats even though the banquet hadn’t officially begun yet.A massive round stage stood at the center of the hall where various performances would take place tonight.By then, the sta

“My husband and I have decided to set up the Love Charity Foundation because we want to help children in need.“We hope we can help children from poverty-stricken families by financially providing for them in terms of education and healthcare.“I believe that we’ll be able to help many people in need with the support of all the generous people in this hall,” Xyla Quest said.The first part of her speech ended with thunderous applause.“As for donations, I will leave it up to each individual on how much you’d like to donate. You're not obligated to contribute if you don’t want to.“Thank you to everyone who does. Otherwise, consider this as a free concert on my part,” she went on in earnest.“Tonight's performances are all very entertaining, brought to you by excellent artistes from X Entertainment.“Without further ado, please enjoy the performances.” With that, Xyla bowed to the audience, perfectly composed despite many eyes on her.Meanwhile, reporters were also pointing ca

Xyla Quest basically hadn't stopped talking the entire night while acting as host.Her legs were in pain after standing all night long in four-inched high heels.Not only that, but her throat also felt sore.Stanley Batton immediately retrieved the single-use slippers he had prepared in advance, helping her to change into them. “I told you to hire an emcee, but you wouldn’t listen,” he chided gently.“I think it would seem more sincere if I hosted the banquet myself," she replied in exhaustion.“Indeed, it was, but you ended up exhausting yourself,” he said.“But it was worth it, don’t you think so? We’ve raised a lot of money tonight, and these funds can help countless families.”Whenever Xyla thought about this, she’d feel that all that exhaustion was worth it.Stanley shook his head helplessly, but he still had an affectionate look on his face. “I don’t know what to do with you.”She merely chuckled but didn’t reply.Sharon Lindt gazed sadly at her. “I told you to wear fla

“Love Charity Foundation? Stanley Batton must fear that other people don’t know how much he loves Xyla. Haha!”“This couple is epic. They'd find ways to show off their love even while doing good deeds. Haha!”“I’d like to know if Xyla and Stanley would help people with this money. Would they?”“Hey, stop coming up with those nasty ideas. Do you think the two of them would care about a few billion dollars?”“Nobody would mind having more money, would they? Even if they are rich, they’d still have an appetite for a few more billions.”When Xyla Quest saw those comments, she directly forwarded the one questioning whether they would help people with the money, and then posted a reply of her own.“All transactions related to the Love Charity Foundation would be transparent. You don’t have to worry about this,” she wrote.As soon as she published her reply, there were already numerous forwards, likes, and comments—“Hahaha, the statement that Xyla would care about such small amounts
