‘Xyla Quest, the billion-dollar bride#’ even claimed the number one spot on all lists of hot topics in Country Z, receiving the most attention on Weibo.People were practically going mad as they discussed the topic.Xyla and Stanley Batton slept until eight o’clock in the evening before their eyes finally opened in pitch-black darkness.He carefully let go of Xyla to turn on the lights, its sudden brightness making her narrow her eyes.Frowning slightly, she murmured and clung onto her husband like an octopus, appearing to be in a daze due to lack of sleep.Seeing her clinging onto him like a kitten made his heart melt.He changed his posture and hugged her tightly, pressing a gentle kiss on her forehead.“Honey, do you want to get up? We should eat something,” he said softly.They hadn’t eaten much since the wedding as they had to entertain guests the entire time during the ceremony.She pressed closer to him again. “Okay, but I don’t know what to eat.”“What would you like?

Xyla Quest nodded, finding herself in a much better mood now that she'd received news about Sophie Kenwick.She slowly got out of bed and pulled Stanley Batton into the bathroom for a shower.Then, he changed clothes and waited for Xyla, who took her time in the bathroom before changing into a white, laced skirt.Since the weather here was much warmer than in Country Z, wearing skirts seemed more appropriate.She stood in front of the mirror to put on some simple makeup, starting with applying a single layer of moisturizer on her face, followed by foundation.Her eyebrows were naturally dark, while her lips were naturally red, so she didn't bother with them to save time.Her face seemed pretty enough.After casually drying her hair, the couple held hands and walked out the door into the night. The stars seemed plentiful and bright at their deserted location away from the city, creating a peaceful environment.Under the sky full of stars, they strolled hand-in-hand along a roa

Xyla Quest lost all her good habits ever since she got together with Stanley Batton because he would handle everything for her under any circumstances and at any time.She never had to worry about these things.She felt she could do anything before he came into her life, but now, she had lost the ability to do anything except for making money.She’d come to depend on him in their daily lives, constantly waiting for him to prepare everything for her.This kind of dependency gave her a sense of security, and she'd become addicted to it.Presently, Stanley led her into a western restaurant on a cruise ship, strolling through a brightly lit deck.Red roses decorated its path, making it seem like a garden in her dreams.A gentle breeze blew against her face, carrying the fragrant scent of roses, making her feel at ease.The deck was devoid of people, and even the dining tables were empty, making it appear unusually spacious.“This is wonderful," Xyla said happily as she peered arou

“No wonder! This restaurant is pretty awesome,” Xyla Quest declared.“I invited him to come,” Stanley Batton told her.“Oh, impressive! I like his food.”He then took a bite of a piece of medium-rare beef. “Do you?” he asked, lowering his gaze to cut a piece of beef before feeding it to her.“Yeah, I do,” she nodded with a smile, chewing in contentment.“That’s settled, then. I’ll hire the chef to work at our house from now on,” he decided.“Let’s not," she said hastily. "You know I’m not used to having too many strangers in the house.”“In that case, forget it. I’ll learn a few things from this chef and do the cooking from now on.”“Okay, but I think my husband is better than any Michelin star chef,” she teased. She wasn’t lying.Stanley’s cooking skills were indeed on par with Michelin star chefs.He had improved by leaps and bounds after lots of practical cooking experience.“Really?” he questioned, grinning at her words.There wasn’t a man who didn’t like to be prai

The twins welcomed their father, Stanley Batton, and began to play with him.No matter which toy he asked for, they would willingly give it to him as long as the three of them were having fun.Gentle as he was, Stanley seemed to be surrounded by a halo while creating happy memories with his kids.He accompanied them until almost noon before heading to the office, even though he had a lot of work pending.En route there, he received a call from Zack Cassidy. “Mr. Batton, we are all waiting for you to chair the meeting. Have you been delayed for some reason?”He calmly glanced at his watch then, discovering it was already eleven o’clock.Yesterday, he had set up a meeting with high-level executives at ten o’clock this morning.It completely slipped his mind while busy playing with his children.He pinched his forehead calmly. “I was spending time with the kids and forgot about it. I’ll be there right away.”With that, he ended the call, not realizing that Zack’s phone was on lou

Xyla Quest instantly felt her heart calming down at that moment upon seeing Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton. After that, she peeked at Stanley Batton, feeling deeply touched.They were here to have a good time, but she'd wanted to go home because she missed the children.Not only did her husband and parents-in-law not think of her as being troublesome, but they even brought her children to her from home.They were willing to play along to her every whim.She would never forget this warm feeling.Right now, she was so moved that she began to get choked up.“Dad and Mom, thank you,” she smiled with tears in her eyes before reaching for Lynette Batton in Sharon’s arms to hold her.She pressed her face against Lynette’s, then moved closer to Wilson Batton to press a soft kiss on Leon Batton’s forehead.His eyes flew open in an instant, watching her quietly with his glistening eyes.Xyla wished she could become one with her children and never leave them.Meanwhile, Stanley smiled

There were many things that Xyla Quest had overlooked, but Sharon Lindt had already thought of in advance.“What did you bring me?” Stanley Batton asked jokingly.“I brought your children to you. What do you think?” Sharon replied drily.“You sure are my mother,” he chuckled.“You’re a grown man, anyway. You can wear and eat whatever you want. It doesn’t matter,” she stated, rendering him speechless.Xyla couldn’t resist laughing.“Xyla, what do you want to eat? Sharon asked. "Tell me. I’ll cook for you right away.”She promptly shook her head. “Please don’t. You and Dad came all the way here. It must have been exhausting. You should go upstairs and rest first.”“We already rested on the flight. We slept all the way here. Tell us, what do you want to eat?” Wilson asked.“How about Mom’s specialty pork ribs?” Stanley asked.“Do you want that, Xyla?” his mother asked.She nodded.“I'll cook that since you want to eat it,” Sharon said with an affectionate look at her.“What e

Wilson Batton, Sharon Lindt, and Stanley Batton soon finished preparing a tableful of dishes for Xyla Quest.Apart from the three dishes she requested, they also prepared shrimps in tomato sauce, oysters with garlic sauce, steamed lobsters, and abalone soup.Feeling happy to see all the food she liked, Xyla was stuffing herself again without realizing it.The family vacation lasted for an entire week, only flying back to Atlantis on their private jet when she wanted to return to the country.After returning to Atlantis, everyone reverted to their own programs.Xyla and Stanley were busy with life and work, while Sharon and Wilson looked after the children.Everyone focused on their own responsibilities, and life was great.Over time, the weather became warm. People in Atlantis went from wearing warmer clothes to summer outfits.Despite the warmer temperature outside, it was always cool in Xyla's office as they had the air-conditioning turned on.Xyla went to X Entertainment to
