“Not only does Mr. Armstrong treat you well, but his parents do, too. The Armstrong family practically treats you like a princess.”“I think your in-laws treat you even better than their own daughter, Jenny Armstrong.”“Exactly. You’re a winner in life, Ms. Clementine. We can only dream of being as lucky as you.”Georgie Clementine's smile widened upon hearing what the nannies said, agreeing with them about her being lucky.“You’re right. Georgie is very lucky,” Xyla Quest agreed.“All right, you guys. I’m feeling embarrassed now,” Georgie chuckled, making the nannies laugh, but they didn't make any further comments.Then, the two best friends held hands and began chatting about various topics.Xyla and Georgie had endless things to talk about whenever they got together, from funny incidents around them to girl-talk about clothes, purses, cosmetics, skincare products, and more.They also spoke about travel, spas, saunas, and many other topics they had in common.Later, they di
Georgie Clementine seemed equally hopeful.“Most importantly, Lukas has a great reputation among his relatives and friends, too. He has never even been in a relationship or done anything wrong to others, either. “Everyone says he’s a good kid. If he works hard, I honestly have high hopes for him," she said.“Yeah, I believe he’s going to be the next Josh Batton,” Xyla Quest said.Xyla stayed in the nursery for a long time and only left the Armstrong family’s house reluctantly after Stanley Batton came to get her.She fastened her safety belt as she got into the car before turning to gaze at her husband. “Georgie and I decided on something important today.”“What is it? Have you decided on who Lynette will marry?” Stanley asked with a raised eyebrow.She nodded in surprise.“I know. Henry was so excited that he told me right away. He couldn’t even control himself,” he told her with a smile.Her smile widened. “Yeah. Henry’s son is so good-looking. I think he would be a good ma
Stanley Batton got out of the car before carrying Xyla Quest into the house, finding it utterly silent at this hour.Only a single bright lamp lit up the living room.He proceeded upstairs into their bedroom and put her to bed.Seeing the face full of makeup on Xyla, he went into the bathroom for some makeup remover wipes. He removed all her makeup with exceedingly gentle movements until her pretty face was bare before him.He found her still stunningly beautiful even without makeup and couldn't help the tender smile that appeared on his face as he gazed at her.Even his eyes softened.After removing her makeup, he retrieved some skincare products and went through her nightly skincare routine, being careful not to wake her.She was still sound asleep when he cleared everything up before walking into the bathroom. He cleaned himself up and joined her in bed.The next day, Xyla woke up naturally.When her eyes opened, she subconsciously reached for her phone on the nightstand
“He has such a handsome face. Goodness, I’ve become a fan.”Xyla Quest was pleased when she saw those comments from netizens.Thanks to X Entertainment's promotional effort in the background, Lukas Ronaldo’s pictures were everywhere on the internet.She wanted to highlight Lukas at this juncture because he would soon be participating in a talent show.With this promotional campaign, he would have a slight advantage to ensure a successful debut.So far, their plan was working.Netizens were becoming his fans because of his good looks, so his identity became the most intriguing subject.Some even managed to find out, so Xyla had achieved her objective.Lukas would undoubtedly receive the most attention during the talent show this way. Right then, Xyla noticed many unread messages on Weibo.She immediately clicked on her notification page to find tons of private messages related to Lukas—“Ms. Quest, please look after Lukas Ronaldo. I’m certain he will have a bright future whe
Lynette Batton and Leon Batton were lying down on a white woolen carpet in the nursery, attempting to turn over.After several months of careful feeding, the twins were fairer and plumper with increasingly distinct facial features.They didn't seem agile when they tried to turn over clumsily as if they needed a lot of effort.They didn't manage to turn over even after attempting to do so for a while.It was a very adorable sight.Xyla Quest couldn’t look away once she set her eyes on them as they reminded her of adorable, furry, white cubs.The entire nursery smelled of a unique baby scent.Her children’s scent and their adorable antics made her feel very happy.Today, Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton had gone to look after Josh Batton’s son, leaving behind a group of nannies who remained in the house.Even so, the children were still very joyful.The nannies immediately greeted Xyla when they saw her walking through the door, and she returned their gestures before sitting betw
“Mr. Batton instructed us to prepare a nice meal for you, so we’ve already prepared lunch. Mr. Batton specifically chose all your favorite dishes. You may go down and eat now,” a nanny informed her respectfully.Xyla Quest nodded without taking her attention away from Lynette Batton and Leon Batton.At that moment, she didn’t want food but to stay with her children.They hadn’t seen each other for only a day, but she had missed them terribly, so it felt almost like a long-awaited reunion after being apart for half a century.She wanted to make up for lost time with her children.Sometimes, she wished she could lounge around at home with them.She constantly yearned for freedom and her job back when she was going through postpartum recovery.However, once she became truly free, she realized she barely had any time for her children.Out of twenty-four hours in a day, she could only spare two to three hours for them, so she began to miss the time she spent during postpartum recove
“Yes, Ms. Quest is very open-minded. Normally, other parents wouldn’t think this way.”“Yes, Leon and Lynette are so lucky to have you as their mother.”“That’s stating the obvious. Only lucky people are born into the Batton family. Isn’t that so?”“Exactly. The twins are already lucky for a start.”Xyla Quest chuckled when she heard their comments. “There's no need to exaggerate.”The rest of them laughed. “We aren’t. We are only speaking our minds.”Xyla chuckled without replying to them and began to talk to Lynette Batton and Leon Batton while repeatedly kissing and hugging them.It felt so satisfying to be able to sit with them.After staying in the nursery for a long while, she eventually went downstairs to have her lunch.As soon as she finished her meal, Xyla returned to the nursery to spend more time with her children before reluctantly leaving the house.Although she was eager to spend time at home with them, she couldn’t do that because many things needed her attent
Sebastian Brenand could no longer trust his parents.He didn’t care if his father was only pretending to be sick or if he was genuine. He wasn't interested to see him, even if it was true.His parents had put him and Rachel Wood in a hopeless situation where they made sure she was defiled and kept away from him.He was very close to never seeing her again, so how was he supposed to forgive them for what they did?Seeing them only made him feel more disgusted and further intensified his desire to murder them, so it was best not to see each other again.His parents did such terrible things to Rachel. Staying away was the best outcome for them.Rachel heard everything as she slowly took a sip of water. Her gaze landed on Sebastian as she ate a piece of beef from the stew. “You can decide however you want. I won’t get angry, so don’t worry about me,” she assured him. Hating the Brenand family was her own choice. She would never force him to hate his own family, too. She couldn
