“They all have incompetent men by their sides,” Wilson Batton said.Sharon Lindt nodded in agreement. “That’s absolutely right. If men treat their wives poorly, they then become increasingly hostile. How could such families be happy?”Everyone agreed with this point with a nod.“Here’s the thing, women are meant to be loved and adored,” he said.“Yes, yes. Women are such wonderful creatures, therefore should be treated gently by this world,” his wife quipped.***Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton headed home after dropping his parents off at Josh Batton’s house.By then, the nannies and the children were all asleep.They didn’t want to wake anyone, so they headed directly upstairs to their bedroom.Stanley was in charge of filling the bathtub with water, bath foam, Xyla’s favorite milk, and rose petals.Meanwhile, Xyla carefully removed her makeup and put on a face mask in front of the basin.He was done drawing a bath by the time she had finished putting on her face mask.The

“Why don’t we check on them using the surveillance system later? We may not see them clearly, but we can at least have a peek,” Xyla Quest suggested. “Maybe we won’t miss them so badly then.”“Okay,” Stanley Batton agreed instantly.Their children were already one-year-old in the blink of an eye.Xyla and Stanley spent the past twelve months by their side, watching them as they grew little by little.They witnessed their children learn how to walk and speak.Now, they had an even stronger bond with them.They were inseparable in the past, but even more so now.The couple really loved their children and would probably die if they lost them. As a matter of fact, they’d even be willing to die for them.“All right, let’s get cleaned up and see them through the surveillance system before we would be able to sleep in peace,” she said eagerly.Her husband nodded.“Honey, there’s something I need to talk to you about first,” she told him.He glanced at her curiously, gently swirling

Stanley Batton promised Xyla Quest last night that he wouldn’t spoil their children without limits.He had said he would deny some of their illogical requests.Then why did he change his mind?He jumped guiltily when he saw his wife. “I was planning to replace that chandelier, anyway. It doesn’t look good anymore.”Xyla continued to frown. “Stanley, how could you do this? Didn’t we agree on not spoiling the kids? Why didn’t you keep your promise?”It was the first time he had failed to keep his promise and over something like that.When Xyla was pregnant, she remembered her husband saying he’d guide their children properly so that they would not become spoiled brats.Now, she wanted to know if he still remembered what he said.“That-Anyway, the chandelier needs to be replaced,” Stanley uttered without much conviction.“It doesn’t! It’s brand new. We bought it just before they were born to decorate the nursery. It’s only been a year!” she yelled in exasperation.“Besides, this

After a long while, the handymen began speaking one after another—“Xyla is truly impressive. Stanley doesn’t even dare to argue with her.”“Haha! No matter how tough he is to others, he still has to obey his wife when he’s home. What a great man.”“It must be hard for Stanley when his wife has such a dominant personality.”“Xyla is the only person who can overpower Stanley.”“Of course. Have you seen Stanley surrendering to anyone except for Xyla?”Everyone nodded in agreement.The atmosphere felt very tense in the nursery. Even the nannies didn't dare make a sound.Meanwhile, Lynette Batton started crying even more loudly when she realized she wasn’t getting what she wanted.Stanley Batton’s heart hurt even more at the sound of her cries.He couldn’t bear it anymore, so he handed his daughter over to Xyla and turned around to leave.He was a rational thinking man, but there were some emotions even he couldn’t control.He knew how to handle other people and issues, but he

“It’s different when it’s your own child. When I saw Lynette crying, I felt my heart tearing apart. It was an awful experience.“I used to have a lot of plans after becoming a father. I once thought I’d be able to become a strict parent. I imagined being like a teacher or a friend to our children.“But I now realize that it’s impossible,” Stanley Batton sighed.With that, he gently caressed Xyla Quest’s face. “Give me some time. I’ll try.”His wife nodded. “Okay, but I think we should swap roles. I’ll be the strict parent. I’m a little more cruel than you are.”In reality, she wasn’t cruel, but one of them had to be the strict parent.Since Stanley couldn’t do it, then she would have to.There needed to be a good cop and a bad cop in every family.She used to dream of being an easygoing mother, but now it seemed like her dream might never come true.She couldn’t help but sigh at the thought. “Did you know that I used to think you could become a tough father?”Her husband had

Rachel Wood’s belly had grown significantly by then since she was now six months along in her pregnancy. She could no longer hide it.Despite her extended belly, she hadn’t gained any weight so far during her pregnancy, so she still looked like a young woman.No one would believe she was pregnant if they didn’t see her belly.Due to her pregnancy, Rachel appeared unusually delicate and demure, with a maternal aura around her.Sebastian Brenand had no intention to let his parents know about her pregnancy before the baby was born. However, what happened today was a complete surprise.He was not at home when they came over unannounced, leaving Rachel and a group of bodyguards to be ambushed.Upon arrival, they had threatened to commit suicide, making everyone frantic and left with no choice but to let them in.Sebastian regretted leaving home today at the thought.Presently, his parents were looking at Rachel’s stomach with grim expressions.“You’ve been sitting there all this ti

Sebastian Brenand spoke indifferently, his tone resolute. He didn't seem to have any reservation or hesitation whatsoever.Rachel Wood sat beside him as if she was a mere spectator, not wanting to get involved in his family matters.These days, she had grown much wiser due to her pregnancy. Becoming a mother allowed her to become more mature.She also stopped behaving like a saint as she did in the past. She would not hold Sebastian back from his decisions nor offer him advice.She also wouldn’t fight or question him.His reaction made it clear that he wasn’t giving his parents the easy way out.Right then, their facial expressions turned even gloomier.Fuming, Sebastian’s father pointed an accusing finger at his son. “Are you planning to cut off all ties with us? Even if we’ve agreed to let you two stay together?”Sebastian bared his hands without hesitation and nodded. “Why not? You should’ve known everything you did back then was unforgivable.”They had no retort to that, n

Rachel Wood chuckled. “They are your parents, after all. What if they died in front of our house? How could I let that happen?“I may not like them, and I even considered ignoring them, but I wouldn't wish death on anyone,” she added.Sebastian Brenand felt his heart soften at her words.He let out a bitter laugh as he ran his fingers through her hair affectionately. “You, my dear, are an idiot. You are the biggest and kindest idiot in the world.“My parents would never kill themselves! They were only trying to scare you. They are rich and powerful people. Do you really think they would give up all that?” he asked with a snort.Her brows furrowed together. “What if they did? We should always expect the worst because I can’t bear that responsibility.”“I would never let you bear any responsibility even if it did happen,” Sebastian told her with a soft smile. “Even so, I don’t want to cause anyone’s death,” Rachel insisted.He gently caressed her face. “If this happened to other
