Rachel Wood was all that was on his mind. She had hurt him badly. She belonged to somebody else now. Nevertheless, Sebastian Brenand could not stop thinking about her. Though he thought of becoming a playboy again, he was simply not interested in other women anymore. Rachel was the only one in his mind and heart. He could not forget about her no matter how hard he tried. He even doubted himself sometimes. Perhaps he had betrayed and disappointed too many innocent girls in the past. Rachel was simply divine retribution for his misdeeds.“But that girl is different…” Sebastian’s mother said again. “Mom… Please… Leave me alone, okay?” Following that statement, Sebastian hung up the phone. He opened the gallery on his phone and found Rachel’s picture. This was the only picture of her in his gallery.In the picture, Rachel was wearing an apron, happily painting at the art studio. She looked as gentle as a dove.Sebastian found her attractive when she painted, so he took a p

His reply was simple, ‘Okay.’***Stanley Batton drove home in his black Bentley Arnage. As soon as he reached home, he headed straight to the kitchen to find Xyla Quest. Xyla was dressed in a white housecoat and a white apron on the outside. She was washing vegetables at the sink when Stanley walked into the kitchen. She had styled her hair into a casual low ponytail with a green ribbon, looking cute and amicable. Xyla’s soft lips instantly stretched into a genuine smile at the sight of her beloved husband. “Hubby, you’re back.”Stanley walked up to her and washed his hands. Voluntarily and without warning, he picked up the vegetables and started washing them, taking over Xyla’s task. “Yeah.”“Honestly, you don’t have to come back to help me. I can do it myself.” Xyla tilted her head and gazed at the man’s stunning face. “Are you sure you want to cook for the whole family alone? That sounds tiring to me.” “Nah, it’s not a big deal.” Stanley did not argue and continue

Xyla Quest picked up the call at once.“Sister-in-law, can you do me a favor?” A familiar voice rang from the speaker. “What happened?” Xyla asked.“I’m stuck in one of the washrooms at Atlantis International Airport. There are thousands of fans outside, and I can’t reach Chief Clementine…” Ear-splitting screams could be heard over the other end of the phone as Josh Batton tried to explain the situation to Xyla. “I’ll send someone there to pick you up,” said Xyla. After that, she hung up the phone and searched for Georgie’s contact. Right at that moment, Stanley Batton came out from the kitchen. Hearing Xyla’s anxious voice, he quickened his pace to Xyla and asked, “What’s going on?”“Josh is trapped in the airport washroom. Thousands of fans are blocking the door, so he can’t get out of there,” Xyla explained. “I’ll ask Zack to check it out.” Following that statement, Stanley called Zack Cassidy and recounted the situation to him. After reminding Zack to bring some

As the saying went, many hands make light work. The Batton family made a table full of food in a blink of an eye. There were about eighteen dishes. When all the food was served, Wilson Batton and Ron Batton arrived at the doorstep. The big family had a whale of a time at dinner. After the meal, Wilson, Josh Batton, and Stanley Batton gathered around the coffee table to play chess. Ron watched them from the side. On the other hand, Xyla Quest, Sharon Lindt, and Catherine Batton played Honor of Kings excitedly. When all the family members met, their happiness knew no bounds. Xyla’s performance in the game was as impressive as usual. Sharon and Catherine could not stop praising her. Under Xyla's guidance, the three of them only took thirteen minutes to win the game. Sharon’s eyes brimmed with admiration and adoration when she saw the word ‘victory’ across her phone screen. “You’re awesome, Xyla! How did you dodge the attacks so smoothly? If I had half of your talents, I

Stanley Batton remained silent the entire time. The room was so quiet one could hear a pin drop. After the pulse check, Ron Batton let out a deep sigh. “You’d better go find that guy once more…”“I know.” Stanley Batton nodded. “I’m going tomorrow.”“I’ll stay here with you until you get better,” Ron added.“I’m sorry for making you worried, Grandpa.” Stanley frowned slightly. Ron sighed and gently patted his shoulder, his eyes rimmed with red. “Silly kid, I’m your Grandpa. Of course, I’m worried about you. Unlike your siblings, you’ve gone through a lot since you were a kid. Sigh…” “Are you sure you want to hide it from Xyla?” Ron continued, “She’ll find out about it anyway.” “Let’s just hide it for now. At least she’s happy that way, right?” Stanley added, “You should get some rest, Grandpa. It’s getting late.” Sighing once more, Ron got up from the couch and went upstairs. Stanley did not follow him. He reached for the teapot on the coffee table and poured himself a c

After that, she turned on her car engine and drove off into traffic.At two o’clock, Xyla punctually arrived at Goldfield Plaza.Just as she parked, she saw Georgie Clementine in front of the shopping mall’s entrance. Georgie was looking down at her phone and playing something on it.Georgie wore a set of bright rose-red formal attire with a white shirt on the inside. Her hair was pulled back into a bun on one side, and she had intricate makeup on.
