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

The Batton family suggested having a full-scale rehearsal to ensure everything went smoothly during the wedding ceremony. On the eve of the wedding, Sharon Lindt insisted that Stanley Batton stay over at a designated hotel so that he could officially receive the bride the next day.Close relatives of the Batton family arrived early on the morning of the wedding day, each tasked with helping out Sharon.Meanwhile, Xyla Quest sat calmly in front of the dressing table in her bedroom, being fussed over by the best female makeup artist in the country.Her hair was styled in a simple chignon that showed her clear forehead, emphasizing her distinct facial features.At the moment, she had her eyes closed as the makeup artist worked on her bridal makeup, which took an hour to complete.After some finishing touches, her eyes slowly opened, catching her reflection in the mirror in front of her.She looked stunningly beautiful.She wore seemingly elegant nude makeup, but there were tiny d

The woman in the mirror looked like a princess from a fairy tale.The makeup artist couldn’t resist raising her thumbs at Xyla Quest upon seeing her reflection. “You look stunning!”Xyla chuckled. “Thank you.”“Here, it's time to put this on,” the other woman said as she brought over a white wedding dress from the bed. The dress made of genuine silk shimmered brilliantly under the light.Xyla changed into the wedding dress with her help, sighing in contentment as it slid on to fit her perfectly, fully accentuating the perfect curves of her body.She looked tall and sexy in the long dress, with its hem that just about covered her legs, highlighting her excellent physique.Her mood improved as she studied her reflection in the mirror, thinking it was well worth her efforts to go on a strict diet to fit into this dress. She was worried she might either gain or lose too much weight and end up not being able to wear the dress on the most important day in her life.She was about t
