Chapter 1271
Whatever it was, Xyla Quest would be with Stanley Batton to face everything bravely no matter what.
They would never leave each other.
After Yaksha had set the table for a few minutes, they began to eat...
Xyla and Stanley washed their hands in the restroom before heading into the traditional-style dining room with Yaksha leading the way.
The dining room was designed in the same way as the living room.
The main colors were burgundy and white...
The dining table and chairs were all made from burgundy rosewood.
There were a total of seven dishes and one soup on the dining table...
These were fried shrimps, steamed crabs, fried bamboo shoots with bacon, marinated chicken feet, pickled fish, steamed chicken, roasted duck, and abalone soup.
There was a traditional white lamp in the shape of a lantern on the dining table.
Under the bright light, the delicious food on the dining table appeared unusually enticing.
As Xyla didn't have much of an appetite in the morning, she only had a little to eat.
After not having eaten all morning, she was already famished right now.
When Xyla saw the delicious food in such a ravenous state, her stomach began to growl.
She instantly tugged at Stanley's hand, and the two of them sat on each of Yaksha's sides.
"Have some more. I prepared all these myself. The ingredients are all fresh. You can't taste any of this in the city.
"The bamboo shoots are grown in the wild... The bacon from the pigs that I raised, and I hunted for the rest of the stuff in the ocean while you were out..." Yaksha added. His words made the meal seem even more enticing to Xyla.
Xyla excitedly picked up the dining utensils. "Thank you... Thank you for preparing such a huge feast for us. It must have been a lot of trouble for you..." She said. "Don't be so formal with me... Alright, hurry up and eat..." Yaksha said as he picked up his dining utensils.
Once Yaksha began to eat, Xyla and Stanley also did the same.
Yaksha had excellent culinary skills.
On top of that, the ingredients were all very fresh.
Hence, Xyla and Stanley were both very pleased with this meal.
While Xyla ate joyfully, she looked at Yaksha. "Miracle Doctor... How did you acquire your Yin-Yang Eyes?
"Did you acquire it the same way I did?" Xyla asked.
"It's not the same... I was born with it," Yaksha said.
"I see..." Xyla said.
***
After lunch, Xyla and Stanley sat down with Yaksha for a while.
After that, the two of them walked out of the forest and got onto their helicopter...
By then, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
However, the island still seemed extremely bright due to its unique geography.
At this moment, the sunlight was scorching hot outside the forest.
However, because of the spiritual energy in Xyla's body, she didn't feel hot at all. Her entire body felt cool.
It was as if she was in an air-conditioned room...
After getting onto Stanley's helicopter, the two of them returned home.
When they arrived, nobody was at home. It was pitch black inside the house.
Xyla familiarly pressed on a button by the entrance. The entire world instantly lit up.
After changing into their slippers, they walked over to the sofa and sat down.
As soon as they did so, Xyla naturally rested her head against Stanley's shoulder. "We'll ask Grandpa to bring the medicine to us tomorrow... After you take it, we can find an opportunity to carry out the bone marrow transplant..."
When Xyla brought this up, she felt very happy...
She could finally let go of a huge burden in her heart.
Chapter 1272
Chapter 1272
"Yeah, the blood donor I found before is a match to my blood type. I'll just have to find him again..." Stanley Batton said. "Alright..." Xyla Quest nodded.
"Honey..." Stanley wanted to say something else, but he stopped.
"What is it?" Xyla asked.
With that, Xyla naturally rubbed her face against his chest. Subconsciously, she circled her arms around his neck.
She could smell nothing but the light cologne scent on his body. It was captivating...
"Thank you for always being with me... If it weren't for you, I might never be able to live like a normal person in this lifetime... Truly, thank you..." Stanley said. Stanley loved Xyla from the bottom of his heart, and he felt genuinely grateful for her.
If it weren't for Xyla, he'd never have the chance to recover...
Xyla shook her head. "This is nothing. It's what I should do as your wife..." She said.
Stanley didn't say anything. Instead, he forcefully kissed her forehead.
The woman in his arms was gentle, pretty, and understanding.
She fulfilled a man's ideal of a perfect partner.
There was no way for him not to love her deeply.
"Xyla..." Stanley murmured.
"Hmm?"
"I think I'll never be able to leave you in this lifetime... You must take full responsibility for me..." Stanley said.
"Okay, I'll take full responsibility for you..." Xyla said.
After saying that, Xyla felt her heart filling with joy.
His love was as sweet as honey.
It was sweet enough to touch the deepest part of her heart...
"How should we explain this to Grandpa?" Stanley asked.
"I think this isn't a small matter. Let's not tell Grandpa the truth for now. What do you think?" Xyla asked.
Although Xyla fully trusted members of the Batton family, her X-ray vision was no small matter.
She couldn't tell just anyone about it...
If someone accidentally leaked it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Apart from that, there was another important reason. Xyla didn't want the other members of the Batton family to be worried too...
The two of them should be the only people who knew about their debts in their past lives.
If the elders found out, apart from being worried, they'd not be able to help either.
Grown-ups ought to learn how to deal with their problems sometimes.
"Okay... We'll do as you say," Stanley said softly.
He understood everything that was on Xyla's mind.
After being together for so long, many things didn't require detailed explanations. They'd still be able to arrive at an agreeable decision. "What do we tell him then?" Stanley asked.
"We'll say that... We've verified with Yaksha that there's nothing wrong with the medicine..." Xyla said.
"Alright, we'll do as you wish..." Stanley said.
"You're tired, aren't you? Shall we head upstairs and rest?" Stanley asked.
However, Xyla shook her head.
She didn't want to go to bed this early...
"We've not gone out for a walk on our own for a long time. Shall we take a walk outside?" Xyla asked.
There were a lot of pesky feelings in her chest. She wanted to go for a walk and digest all these emotions.
"Sure..." Stanley said.
Suddenly, Xyla remembered that Stanley still had a lot of work to deal with. She immediately shook her head. "Forget it. You shouldn't go out. You've still got a lot of work left... Why don't you go ahead and start on your work? I'll go out for a walk on my own..." Xyla said.
Chapter 1273
Chapter 1273
While speaking, Xyla Quest picked up her gilt makeup mirror on the table and stood up.
She didn't leave right away. Instead, she checked her makeup in the mirror.
Although a long time had passed, her makeup hadn't worn off at all.
It all looked the same as when she first put the makeup on.
After that, Xyla put down the makeup mirror satisfactorily and prepared to leave.
Stanley Batton instantly reached out and pulled her onto his lap. "It's so late. How could I feel safe letting you go out on your own, hmm?" he asked softly by her ear. His voice was like a beautiful melody played using a violin. There was a deep yet noble quality to it.
Due to the close distance, his warm breath brushed against her ear and neck. It gave Xyla tingling sensations, almost as if electric currents were passing through her. In a mere instant, her heart started beating wildly...
Regardless of how long they had been together, Xyla would always be easily charmed by this man.
"What's there to worry about? Your wife knows how to fight," Xyla chuckled.
"Most men can't possibly beat me," Xyla said confidently.
"I still feel worried..." Stanley said.
"Why?" Xyla asked.
"There's no reason. I just want to be with you, can't I?" Stanley asked.
Xyla immediately felt a warmth spread in her heart. "Why are you so clingy?" she asked.
"Say, if people around you knew that the formidable Mr. Batton is a clingy person, would they laugh their heads off?" Xyla asked jokingly.
"I don't care what other people think. I just want to be close to you," Stanley said.
"Don't you need to work?" Xyla asked.
"Work is important, but spending time with my wife is also very important. Let's go..." With that, Stanley picked Xyla up and stood up.
Xyla had a thin physique. She felt nearly weightless in his arms.
Once again, Xyla felt touched by him...
Suddenly, her heart started beating wildly once more.
"Put me down... I can walk on my own..." Xyla said softly.
"Hmm... Okay... I'll only carry you to the entrance." With that, Stanley carried Xyla over to the entrance.
The two of them changed into their shoes before walking out the door, hand in hand.
After passing through the courtyard filled with lush greenery, the two soon arrived at a nearby LV store without realizing it...
There was a pair of silver high heels with straps by the display window.
The straps of the heels were engraved with diamonds, and silver tassels were dangling beneath it. It was gorgeous... Xyla was instantly captivated by the pair of heels.
She couldn't help but stop walking...
Stanley looked at Xyla before looking at the heels. He instantly held her hand and quickly led her into the store.
When three sales assistants dressed in black-and-white uniforms saw them, they immediately reacted as if they had seen somebody important. They quickly walked over to Xyla and Stanley before greeting them respectfully at the same time. "Welcome..."
Xyla looked at the prettiest sales assistant with short hair in front of her. "I'd like to have a closer look at the pair of silver high heels by the display window. Could you bring it to me so I could try it on? I'm size 37," Xyla said.
The sales assistant with short hair seemed overjoyed. "Sure, sure... I'll get it for you right away. Ms. Quest, Mr. Batton... Please come with me and have a seat over here..."
While speaking, the sales assistant with short hair passionately led the two of them to a black sofa in the center of the store.
Xyla naturally held Stanley's hand and sat down.
After showering Xyla with compliments for quite some time, the sales assistant with short hair cheerfully left to get the heels. Beep, beep, beep-
Right then, Xyla's phone started to ring.
The contents on the screen gave her a shock-
Chapter 1274
Chapter 1274
"Tik Tok's popular internet celebrity, Cadence Carmichael, openly shouted out to Xyla Quest to tell her that he wanted to get signed on to X Entertainment. You wouldn't believe his reason..." Xyla Quest knew this TikTok internet celebrity, Cadence Carmichael.
Three months ago, he officially joined TikTok. On the first day he joined TikTok, he released a video of him playing and singing an original song, Poison.
With his outstanding appearance and magnetic voice, he became an overnight sensation, attracting over ten million fans.
After that, he published a new song every three days on TikTok. Within three months, he acquired a hundred million fans.
He became the first internet celebrity to acquire over a hundred million fans on TikTok.
This person was 185 centimeters in height.
He had long legs, a fabulous physique, intricate and masculine facial features, as well as a body with a golden ratio.
Apart from being handsome and talented, there was another fundamental reason why he attracted over a hundred million fans.
That was because he had a very humorous personality, and he was also humble.
Many people thought of him as someone who started with good looks but still stayed true to his character.
Ever since he became famous on TikTok, many companies started offering him contracts, but he refused all of them...
He had all sorts of strange reasons for his refusal...
People often thought that this man only wanted to be an internet celebrity but not a real star.
Xyla didn't expect that this person would knock on her door to join her company.
Xyla immediately opened the news to have a look.
The news came from Weibo News.
As soon as she tapped on it, a large wall of text came into sight.
"Based on today's discoveries, TikTok internet celebrity, Cadence Carmichael, openly shouted out to X Entertainment, indicating that he'd like to get signed to X Entertainment... "He claims that he only has eyes for X Entertainment in the entire entertainment industry. Why? The reason is that X Entertainment's boss is extremely good-looking. "Secondly, he says that she's capable enough.
"Cadence claims to be someone who values looks greatly. He likes working with people who look good and are capable..."
When Xyla saw Cadence's reason, she couldn't resist laughing.
It immediately reminded her of Josh Batton in the beginning.
Back then, when she met with Josh to discuss his contract, Josh decisively agreed to it because she looked good.
Xyla couldn't help but sigh in her heart. 'This world places good looks above everything else.'
Meanwhile, there was a live stream video of Cadence attached to the Weibo post below.
The video lasted a total of fifteen seconds...
In the video, Cadence had visibly short hair in front but long hair in the back. His hair in the front reached his eyebrows, while his hair in the back covered his neck. The slightly messy look gave off the vibe of someone who was untamable. Most people found it hard to pull off this look.
Due to Cadence's outstanding appearance, he was able to pull it off perfectly.
He kept repeating how he wanted to join X Entertainment.
The first half of the things he said were the same as what was included in the Weibo post.
However, the second half was different. At the end of the video, he smirked flamboyantly at the camera. "Xyla Quest... I'm your little boy fan. Look at me..." When Xyla heard the final sentence, she instantly burst into laughter.
Although the Weibo post had been published less than three minutes ago, there were already over 500,000 shares, likes, and comments beneath the post. "Indeed, good-looking people only like other good-looking people. I just want to say, Cadence Carmichael, I think you're right..."
"I've been showering him with gifts for three full months. He hasn't even looked at me once. It turns out that he's actually a fan of Xyla Quest's! Ahh! I'm so jealous!"
Chapter 1275
Chapter 1275
"As a young female fan of Cadence Carmichael's, I just want to tell Xyla Quest right now that I'm envious of her! I'm extremely jealous today."
"Ahh... Although I'm jealous, I want to see that Cadence has good taste... Who wouldn't like a pretty face like Xyla?"
"The man who wouldn't even look at me is a fan of Xyla's. Ahh... I'm feeling triggered! I have spent a lot of money on Cadence!"
After looking through the comment section for a while, Xyla subconsciously smiled gently.
"What are you looking at?" Stanley Batton slowly shifted his gaze to Xyla's phone as he wrapped his arms around her shoulder and asked softly.
"Nothing much. A Tik Tok internet celebrity complimented me for my looks... He even said that he's a fan of mine... He wants to join my company... That person's name is Cadence Carmichael. Do you know him?" Xyla asked joyfully.
However, Stanley's facial expression darkened. "Does this kid have feelings for you?" he asked.
At this moment, Stanley's level of possessiveness was off the charts.
It was as if he was a leopard that protected its prey. His entire body emanated a sense of hostility.
When Xyla heard this, she couldn't resist laughing out loud. "I think he means to say that he admires me... It's not the kind of fondness between men and women..."
"This kid has suspicious intentions. You're not allowed to sign him to the company..." Stanley's expression was still dark.
Xyla couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "Do you know what you look like right now?" Xyla asked with a chuckle. "Hmm?" Stanley murmured.
"You look like an aggrieved woman who's afraid of losing something... Don't you find it ridiculous?" Xyla asked.
"Do I?" Stanley raised his brows.
"Does it seem otherwise? Can we not make up imaginary foes? Cadence is a rather talented person. To be honest, I originally had plans to contact this person and sign a contract with him. However, I didn't think he'd come looking for me before I could go to him..." Xyla said.
"He has bad intentions," Stanley said.
He was determined to believe in what he thought to be true.
Xyla couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "Tsk... You're really childish!"
"Anyway, you can't sign him to the company!" Stanley said.
When Xyla heard this, she immediately pretended to be angry. Her face turned dark.
When the sales assistants nearby witnessed this scene, they all held their breaths. None of them dared to say a word...
Everyone felt that the couple was very likely going to start arguing...
However, an unexpected scene occurred-
When Stanley saw that Xyla was upset, he immediately cowered and started speaking softly. "Fine, fine, fine... If you want to sign him on, go ahead. Alright?"
Xyla instantly smiled satisfactorily after hearing this. "That's more like it," she said.
Xyla had figured out Stanley's temper long ago.
What was the seemingly fearless Mr. Batton afraid of the most? He was most fearful of Xyla being upset...
As long as he saw Xyla being upset, he'd agree to anything.
Signing Cadence Carmichael on was something that could be significantly beneficial for the company. Xyla didn't want to give in so easily. Cadence was someone who had a fan base, and he was also excellent in various aspects. At one glance, Xyla could tell that he was a seedling that had a lot of potential at becoming hugely famous.
Xyla really couldn't find it in herself to turn him down. Who could refuse money?
Besides, Xyla was already married, and Cadence knew this too. Xyla didn't think he'd have other feelings for her aside from admiration.
Moreover, even if Cadence really did have ulterior motives, Xyla wouldn't give him the chance to act on them...
"But make sure you stay away from him..." Stanley said.
"I know, don't worry..." Xyla said.
"Honey, I'm honestly afraid of you..." Stanley said.
"Humph..." Xyla snorted.
The sales assistants nearby were all shocked...
Chapter 1276
Chapter 1276
Who would've thought that things might have turned out this way?
Xyla Quest was able to handle Stanley Batton very easily.
The couple's routine sweetness instantly made all the single people feel jealous.
They were all envious of Xyla!
Which woman in Atlantis wouldn't be envious of her when they saw this happening?
Soon, the pretty sales assistant with short hair returned to Xyla with the pair of silver high heels she asked for.
After that, the sales assistant kneeled on one knee and put the shoebox on the ground. She then began to change the heels for Xyla.
Xyla accepted the heels and put them on herself. After that, she stood up and walked up to the dressing mirror.
The spotless mirror reflected her perfect appearance right then.
Xyla wore a white, pure cotton halter dress with a white, satin, short-sleeved jacket and a pair of shiny silver high heels.
The high heels had a sharp tip, and the lines were designed perfectly.
Xyla's legs were naturally thin. With the contrast of the heels, they appeared even thinner.
The pure silver design made Xyla's legs appear unusually fair and smooth.
The circle of diamonds around her ankle and the silver tassels glistened brightly under the light.
With these heels on, Xyla looked like a little princess.
Her aura was instantly enhanced.
Looking at Xyla like this, Stanley's eyes filled with a look of admiration...
Although there were many pretty women around him, his eyes fixated upon Xyla.
To him, it appeared as if Xyla's eyes had stars in them.
The look in his eyes instantly caused a tingling sensation in all the sales assistants there.
The pretty sales assistant with short hair looked enviously at Stanley before quickly walking over to Xyla. "Ms. Quest, you look great in these heels... These heels instantly look unique once you put them on..." She complimented.
"Thank you..." Xyla was also very pleased with the heels.
She had many decent-looking high heels, but she wasn't as fond of any of them as she was of these.
Not only did this pair of high heels look good, but it was also very comfortable.
The back portion of the heels was very soft, and the heels' shape was also designed very well. Although the heels were six centimeters in height, they didn't feel exhausting to wear at all. Xyla didn't feel anything after putting them on.
"Pack up the shoes I was wearing before. I'll leave with these on..." Xyla decisively said as she looked at the sales assistant with short hair.
"Alright, Ms. Quest..." The sales assistant cheerfully bowed to Xyla right away.
After that, she quickly went to prepare the bill.
Meanwhile, the others helped Xyla to pack up her original shoes.
As for Stanley, he naturally took out his global, limited-edition black credit card before walking over to the cashier to make the purchase...
When he got close to the sales assistant with short hair, her face instantly turned red.
A strong oppressive vibe emanated from the top of his head.
It caused her heart to shudder...
Having worked in this store for many years, she had seen many handsome and rich male customers.
However, none of them were as handsome as Stanley.
As a woman, she was envious of Xyla.
She thought that being able to spend the rest of one's life with a man like Stanley must be a wonderful thing.
After the payment was made, Xyla held Stanley's hand and walked out of the store.
As soon as they left, the sales assistants behind them immediately grouped together and started to chatter excitedly. "Ahh! Stanley is so handsome! Absolutely handsome! I think he's even more handsome than Josh Batton!"
Chapter 1277
Chapter 1277
"Did you see how tame Stanley Batton was in front of Xyla Quest? He's an absolutely wonderful person!" "Why do I feel that Stanley might be afraid of his wife? Oh my god! He's so rich. Is that even necessary?" "Be a little more confident. Just get rid of the words 'might be'... Mr. Batton is indeed afraid of his wife!" "Ahh! Xyla looks so beautiful in person! Also, why is she so lucky? I'm so jealous, girls!"
After Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton walked out the door, they headed to a street in the distance... Hence, they didn't hear any of the things the sales assistants in the store were discussing. Tonight, the sky was filled with stars.
Although it was already late in the evening, there were still cars moving on both sides of the road... Atlantis was a lively city that never went to sleep. By then, the nightlife in the city had only just begun.
Just like that, Xyla naturally interlaced her fingers with Stanley and walked forward.
After buying the new heels that she liked, she was in a significantly better mood.
To be honest, girls were very simple beings. Sometimes, it was effortless to make a girl happy.
For example, all it took was for a girl to buy the lipstick, purse, and shoes she liked.
Xyla held Stanley's hand and walked around outside.
After that, they returned home.
At first, when they were outside, Xyla was still in a relatively good mood. However, after returning home, and once things became quiet, her mood suddenly worsened again. The things Yaksha mentioned resurfaced in her mind once more.
However, Xyla didn't let it show...
After removing their shoes, Xyla and Stanley walked upstairs to take a shower together.
After taking a shower, the two of them sat on the bed together.
Stanley held his laptop and worked while Xyla picked up her laptop too.
After turning the laptop on, she didn't immediately start going through her documents.
Instead, she picked up her phone and searched for Cadence Carmichael's Weibo page. She then tapped on it to have a look inside...
Cadence's Weibo page already had over fifty million followers...
This was an even more outstanding feat than most top celebrities in the industry.
The things he published on his main page were completely different from his style on TikTok...
On Weibo, most of the things he shared were basically his everyday life.
He liked taking selfies.
He would take selfies of himself when he drank coffee, went shopping, bought cars, traveled, and cooked...
Some of the selfies were taken with Apple's original camera settings.
However, he still looked magnificently handsome.
Xyla had to admit that he really had one of the best looks around...
Cadence seemed to like cooking a lot. Many of his Weibo posts were related to cooking.
She didn't expect a seemingly wild person like him would have such a domestic side.
Meanwhile, his Weibo posts were basically flooded by comments from some female fans.
All his Weibo posts received compliments from a bunch of female fans.
Everyone even addressed him as their husband.
After briefly browsing through his Weibo, Xyla sent Cadence a private message. "I'm Xyla Quest... I'd like to sign you on. Let's make an appointment...' "OK..." Cadence replied nearly within a second.
Xyla smiled satisfactorily. "Let's add each other on WeChat. It'll be easier for us to get in touch..." Xyla added.
"Alright..." Cadence replied.
Right after that, he sent his WeChat QR code to Xyla
Chapter 1278
Chapter 1278
Xyla Quest quickly scanned the QR code and added Cadence Carmichael as her friend.
Once that was done, Cadence started complimenting Xyla with all sorts of terms like 'female goddess', 'strong woman', and 'the ideal woman'.
It made Xyla smile widely.
There wasn't a woman who didn't like being complimented by others.
Xyla was no exception.
After reading through his compliments, Xyla went straight to the point. "Let's set a time for us to discuss your development plan. If you think there isn't any problem with it, we'll sign the contract..." "We can sign it right away... There's no need for a discussion. I believe in you..." Cadence said.
"..." Xyla didn't expect this at all.
This person was way more decisive than she had imagined.
He was practically as agreeable as Josh Batton was back then.
Xyla immediately replied with a cute smiley emoji.
After that, she quickly called Dreamland Hotel to book Blue Sky Room One in advance.
After the room booking was made, she sent Cadence another message. "Tomorrow noon, Blue Sky Room One, Dreamland Hotel... We'll meet at twelve... Let's eat and talk at the same time..." "Alright, female goddess... Thank you for giving me the opportunity." Cadence replied.
Xyla replied with a smiley emoji.
Cadence was very humorous with his words...
After chatting with him, Xyla felt a lot more relaxed...
Xyla smiled a little. Without replying further, she tapped on Cadence's Weibo account and followed him.
After that, she put her phone aside and opened her email inbox to start going through her work emails... Knock, knock, knock-
Right then, someone knocked on the door.
"Please come in..." Xyla immediately said softly while she looked at the door.
Soon, the door opened.
Immediately after that, Ron Batton walked in with a white insulated bottle...
He had an affectionate look on his face.
"Grandpa..." When Xyla saw him, she instantly smiled and got up before walking over to Ron.
"What did you bring?" Xyla asked.
"Your grandmother personally prepared some bird's nests with rock sugar for you. She asked me to bring some to you after dinner..." Ron said.
Xyla immediately felt a warmth spread in her heart after hearing this. "Alright... Would you like to drink it with me?"
Ron shook his head. "No. I've got to go back and sleep..."
With that, Ron turned around and prepared to leave.
"Grandpa... Wait a moment. I happen to have something to tell you..." Xyla immediately said.
Since Ron was here, she could tell him about many things that were on her mind.
"What is it?" Ron asked with interest. There was a look of affection in his eyes.
When Stanley heard this, he instantly put down his laptop and walked over to Xyla. He wrapped one arm around Xyla's waist naturally. "Here's the thing... We went to Yaksha, the miracle doctor, to check on Xyla's health. There's nothing significantly problematic about it...
"After that, we started discussing my health with Yaksha. He said that his medicine is 100% safe... Hence, I can take it directly... You can give it to me," Stanley said.
However, Ron began to look worried. "Really? But I still think... We should do what we discussed previously..."
"It's fine. I can take it directly... It's really alright..." Stanley added.
In recent days, Ron had been testing the medicine on white mice. Indeed, there hadn't been any side effects.
Meanwhile, due to the special genes implanted in the white mice, their bodies were changed.
However, Ron still didn't want to let Stanley take it so rashly. "I think you should... Still wait a while longer," Ron said.
Chapter 1279
Chapter 1279
"It really isn't necessary. Trust me..." Stanley Batton added.
Seeing how confident Stanley seemed, Ron Batton immediately questioned him. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Stanley nodded. "Yeah. Grandpa. Trust Xyla and me. If we're not 100% confident, we won't do this," he said.
Ron thought deeply for a few seconds. "Alright then..." He said.
He knew Xyla Quest and Stanley's personalities very well.
These two had always been very careful about matters like this.
For them to be this determined, they must have had their reasons.
Hence, Ron didn't want to keep standing in their way.
Ron's instincts told him that their visit to Yaksha must have meant they heard something from Yaksha. That was why their attitude changed so drastically.
However, since the two didn't want to tell Ron about it, he didn't plan to badger them for an answer.
"Do I really have nothing to be worried about?" Ron asked once again. He had a curious look in his eyes.
"Don't worry... It's really fine..." Stanley said.
"As long as I take the medicine, my genes can be modified. When the time comes, we'll simply have to arrange for the bone marrow transplant..." He added. Ron looked deeply at Stanley before nodding...
After that, Ron let out a long sigh. He retrieved a small, white porcelain bottle from his pocket before handing it over to Stanley. "Take it..."
With that, Ron didn't say anything else. He left...
Meanwhile, Stanley opened the cap and poured out a single pill. He then put it in his mouth.
"How is it? What does it taste like? Do you feel anything after eating it?" Xyla asked carefully after seeing this.
As Xyla spoke, the pill melted in Stanley's mouth.
A dense, sweet taste spread in his mouth...
It tasted like chocolate that had a lot of floral fragrance mixed into it.
"It's sweet..." Stanley said after slowly swallowing it.
"That's good... Previously, Yaksha mentioned that you'd have to take one pill a day for fifteen consecutive days. That'll allow your genes to be modified. Let's give it a try," Xyla said. This time, Xyla was filled with confidence.
Stanley nodded.
"Do you feel anything in your body right now?" Xyla asked.
Stanley shook his head. "I don't feel anything. I feel just the same as I did before..."
"Hmm. Yaksha didn't say you'd feel any discomfort after eating this. Perhaps, there aren't any adverse effects..." Xyla said.
"I hope so..." Stanley said.
***
At noon the next day, after dealing with work in Quest Group, Xyla arrived at Dreamland Hotel's Blue Sky Room One as planned.
Today, Xyla wore a light purple halter lace dress. Her long, black, curly hair reached her waist.
She was wearing the pair of silver high heels she'd bought the day before, and a limited-edition Hermes purse dangled around her arm. Xyla had put on intricate, peach-colored makeup. Her lips were in a light shade of lipstick.
At one glance, she looked like the most beautiful fairy in the world.
Normally, Georgie Clementine could also do stuff like this for Xyla.
However, after considering how occupied Georgie had recently been looking after Henry Armstrong, Xyla decided not to bother her.
When Xyla walked through the door, Cadence Carmichael was already there.
He was wearing an oversized, black T-shirt with a black straw hat. The hat was tilted very low.
There was an extended silver necklace from Tiffany's Makers series around his neck.
He also had a silver bracelet from Tiffany's Diamond Point series on his right arm, as well as a pure silver ring.

Chapter 1280
At first glance, Cadence Carmichael appeared very fashionable.
The design of his T-shirt with holes made him appear unusually wild and untamable.
He was filled with youthful energy, and he exuded an aura of cleanliness, proudness, and handsomeness!
Just by sitting there, he looked like a cool guy...
Xyla Quest had previously read about this person's information in detail.
He was already twenty years old this year....
However, in person, he seemed to be eighteen at the most.
The moment Cadence saw Xyla, he was stunned by her beauty.
Although the room was sufficiently lit, he felt as if everything around her had gotten dimmer.
Xyla was the only one that shone brightly.
She looked even better in person...
She was the ideal beauty for a man...
As her fan, he felt exhilarated at this moment.
He really admired Xyla. It was no joke.
Cadence fell for her looks in the beginning, but he later discovered her personality and became enthralled.
At first, he started following her on Weibo because of her looks.
After that, he started paying more attention to the news about her.
The more attention he paid to her, the more he felt that Xyla was cool, beautiful, and capable. He was genuinely enamored of her.
To be honest, he became an internet celebrity on Tik Tok because of Xyla.
He wanted to make himself known on TikTok. After that, he would acquire the right to join Xyla's company...
He had done it all because he wanted to get close to Xyla. Hence, ever since he became famous, he refused to sign a contract with any companies approaching him. Regardless of how great the benefits were, he rejected them without even thinking about it.
Although Xyla already had a husband, this didn't stop him from liking her.
That was because he would only silently like her in his heart. He wouldn't express it and cause Xyla any inconvenience...
His wish was very simple. He just wanted to be able to see his goddess regularly.
"Nice to meet you... Cadence Carmichael..." While Cadence looked at her, stunned, Xyla smiled gently and walked up to him. She warmly reached out her hand to him.
At this moment, Cadence felt as if an angel was extending her hand to him.
'How does such a perfect person exist in the world?' Cadence couldn't help but think to himself.
Ahh! An angel just reached out her hand to him!
In the next second, Cadence instantly returned to his senses and scrambled to stand up.
He didn't shake Xyla's hand directly. Instead, he quickly wiped his hands on his black jeans with holes in them. After wiping all the sweat on his palms away, he held Xyla's hand tightly with both hands.
In the next second, he looked at Xyla admiringly. "Goddess, I'm so happy to see you..."
Xyla chuckled. "Hmm, I'm delighted too... Please sit down..."
After that, Xyla naturally let go of Cadence's hands and made a gesture to him.
Cadence nodded and obediently sat down.
In the eyes of his fans, he was an untamable youth. However, in front of Xyla, he behaved like a primary school student...
Xyla smiled and walked calmly to the seat across from him before elegantly sitting down.
At this moment, Cadence felt so nervous that he was about to go mad.
He could sense that his breathing had become completely erratic...
Before Xyla's eyes, Cadence gave her a completely different feeling from how he did on TikTok.
Xyla didn't expect this at all.
However, she found the contrast rather adorable.
