As Stanley Batton sang, Xyla Quest listened and enjoyed every moment of it.Amidst his singing, Xyla soon heard a car arriving outside the house.She immediately felt joyful and ran over to open the door with her phone in hand.As soon as she opened the door, she saw Stanley getting out of his black Honda.He was wearing a white shirt and black pants, and there was a black coat draped around his arm.The simple combination of clothes made him appear like a noble, diving being that had descended from above.He took big strides toward her. Suddenly, he stopped singing.Very soon, Stanley was in front of Xyla, smiling faintly. “I’m home.”“Hmm.” Xyla nodded gently.“Were you afraid?” he asked.Xyla shook her head.She was never afraid of the dark. With him accompanying her on the phone, she didn’t feel afraid at all.Without saying anything, Stanley placed his coat over her body. “I’m going to check out what’s wrong.”After that, Stanley turned on the torchlight on his phone

When Xyla Quest heard what Stanley Batton said, her heart clenched. She subconsciously turned to look at his eyes.There was a mysterious look in his eyes, and it appeared as if he was smiling faintly.Right then, Xyla felt as if her heart had gone numb.She began to blush as images of what happened the other night appeared in her mind.“You’re annoying. What are you saying?” Xyla pretended to be calm as she frowned and looked at him with a serious expression.“Can’t you be a little purer?” Stanley’s smile became more apparent.“You’re the impure one,” Xyla said.“How am I impure?” Stanley asked.“How are you not impure? Hurry up and do it already,” Xyla said with a serious face.After saying that, she blushed yet again.Wait a second…What the hell did she just say?“Sure, I’ll do it,” Stanley said without moving. His eyes glimmered.Xyla’s face was now red all over. “What are you saying?”“Didn’t you say you wanted me to do the noodle the freshly-homemade way?” Stanley

Stanley Batton, who sat next to Xyla Quest, calmly and slowly ate a mouthful of noodles. “I’m glad you like it.”“I love it, Five Batton. You are definitely the best cook among the men I’ve met,” Xyla complimented.It seemed like there was nothing Stanley couldn’t do well.Everything he did, he did it perfectly.“Hurry up and eat. After dinner, go to bed,” he said.Xyla nodded and continued to eat her bowl of noodles.She alternated between a mouthful of soup and a mouthful of noodles. Every mouthful warmed her heart and stomach.“Your noodles taste very good,” Xyla said while she ate.After that, Xyla’s face turned red again.Her choice of words seemed to sound…A little problematic.“Really?” Stanley’s eyes glistened playfully.Xyla coughed awkwardly. “The noodles you made taste really good. Don’t overthink.”“Wasn’t that what you meant? Did you mean something else?” He asked.“I…”Xyla’s red had turned red all over by now.Even her ears felt piping hot.What was goi

Right after that, she could hear Stanley Batton’s soothing voice. “Are you up? It’s time for breakfast.”Xyla immediately felt a warm sensation in her heart. She couldn’t help but smile gently. “Yeah, alright.”She wished time could stop at this moment forever. It was wonderful enough for her.Days with him around brought great joy and warmth to her heart.When Xyla opened the door, she saw Stanley standing by it. He was wearing his usual black outfit, seemingly cold and una

After finishing his sentence, Sebastian Brenand got up and adjusted his sleeping robe before drawing the curtains open.When the sunlight seeped into the room, the scratches and hickeys on his chest became more apparent.Rachel Wood gently brushed her hair before walking over to him and hugged him tightly like a cute little pet. “I’m your lover. I receive money from you, and so I must do my job.”How could a lover who received money from her sugar daddy ever be equals?Since she received money from him, she needed to serve him.“I’ve told you before. I don’t mind it when we’re here,” Sebastian said as he ruffled her hair.“But I mind,” she said.“Fine, do as you wish… I have to meet with some people to discuss some business tonight. Come with me.” Sebastian then turned around and walked into the bathroom.He moved lazily.“Okay…” Rachel answered softly.After that, she followed him inside and stood next to him while she brushed her teeth.“Beep, beep, beep…” Right then, Seba

It was now eight o’clock in the evening.After committing the address to memory, Xyla Quest cleaned herself up and left her room.As usual, Stanley Batton had prepared breakfast in advance.After breakfast, Xyla sat on the couch and watched the news on the television while Stanley did the dishes in the kitchen.He had turned on the robotic vacuum cleaner, and it was now doing its job diligently.Everything seemed to be in order.When Xyla turned around, she could see Stanley heavily occupied by house chores.During this period of Xyla’s recovery from the surgery, Stanley had been taking care of everything in the house.He managed to keep the large house spotless all by himself.In fact, he planned and cooked all three meals of the day for Xyla.When Xyla thought about this, she couldn’t help but smile gently.She found it hard to believe that a man like Stanley was also someone who got involved in fights and bloodshed on the streets.The image of him doing house chores was

“Yeah…” Stanley Batton said.Xyla Quest nodded.“Why were you peeking at me earlier?” he asked.Xyla coughed awkwardly. “When did I peek at you?”“Didn’t you?” he asked.“I didn’t. If you didn’t look at me, how would you know that I was looking at you? I haven’t even asked why you were peeking at me.” Xyla changed the topic directly, sounding confident with what she said.Stanley slowly smiled. “I think you look good. That’s why I wanted to look at you. Am I not allowed to?”Xyla instantly felt her heart clenched.“Isn’t your beauty meant to be seen by others?” Stanley added.“Makes sense…“Aren’t you going out today?” Xyla changed the topic suddenly.“Hmm. I’m staying at home to look after you.”“Don’t you have work?”“Yes, but it’s all the simple stuff. No big deal,” he said.Right then, Stanley received a call from Zack Cassidy. He walked right over to the french window and picked up the call.Although the warm sun was now shining against his face, it couldn’t melt aw

“If that’s the case, has she been discharged? How’s she doing?” Henry Armstrong asked.“She’s been discharged long ago. She’s doing very well,” Stanley Batton answered.“Well then, Sebastian and I must come over to visit her. Wait for me. I’m coming back right now,” Henry added.“Don’t,” Stanley said without hesitation.“We’re just paying the sick a visit,” Henry said.“She doesn’t allow me to bring friends home,” Stanley added.“And you’re not going to just because she says so? Why are you so obedient?” Henry retorted.“Do you have a problem with that?” Stanley asked.“No… How would I even dare?” Henry rubbed his head, helplessly.“But I want to visit her. There’s nothing wrong with your friend visiting her, right?” Henry added.“Don’t get in our way,” Stanley said before hanging up right away.Henry felt thoroughly confused.He couldn’t resist cursing at Stanley. “What the hell has gotten into this friend of mine? Is he a person who values women over his friends?”After
