Ch. 1821..1830

Chapter 1821 Chapter 1821 "Comparing only makes one angry. I suddenly want to divorce my husband..."

"Me too. My husband isn't as rich or as attentive as Stanley. What's the point of keeping him around?"

"I'm truly envious... there's no greater love than this."

"I've always known that he pampers his wife. Now that I've seen it in person, I know that he is indeed different.” The female experts couldn't resist talking amongst themselves again, their voices overlapping and sounding chaotic. However, Xyla Quest could hear everything.

Without betraying any emotion, she merely smiled and continued to look at Stanley Batton. "In that case, stay here with me."

"Okay," Stanley replied.

"We're all hungry. Did you bring anything to eat? I was going to ask someone up there to buy some food," Xyla said.

"I did... someone will bring the food down later," he stated.

"Okay."

"You must be tired, Honey," he said.

Xyla shook her head. "Not at all. They're the ones who are tired."

Her husband then looked around at everyone. "You must all be tired."

Everyone then declared that they weren't.

The women felt their hearts racing again when their eyes met Stanley's briefly as his gaze swept across everyone in concern.

'Stanley looked at me! He looked at me!' They were screaming on the inside.

Even women in their thirties and forties could not help but feel excited.

Stanley, the man who unknowingly started all this excitement, appeared to be oblivious.

His gaze then fixed on Xyla's face, noticing dirt on her face. He immediately cupped her face with both hands. "How did you get yourself so dirty? Let me rub it off for you." Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Stanley still thought his wife looked extremely pretty, despite her dirt-covered face that looked as if it belonged to a pitiful child.

He couldn't help but feel protective toward her.

At that very moment, he felt as if his heart had melted.

Stanley used the sleeve of his Coat, which cost several thousand dollars, to.

e dirt on Xyla's face carefully.

Soon, she was looking extraordinarily pretty again when it was clean.

Stanley looked pleased. “Hmm, there's my beautiful wife.” Feeling countless gazes on her, Xyla suddenly felt embarrassed.

She blushed and peered at him. "Keep a low profile as many people are watching."

As soon as she finished speaking, Stanley wrapped his arm around her. "Okay."

Xyla was at a loss for words.

Was this what keeping a low profile meant?

'Mr. Batton, you're keeping too low a profile,' everyone thought.

"Do you feel warm, hmm?" he asked.

Xyla shook her head.

Stanley reluctantly let go of her. "Okay."

"Why did you suddenly hug me?" Xyla asked.

"I just wanted to since you're so adorable," Stanley said with a look in his eyes.

Sweet 'This darned public display of affection,' everyone thought.

Xyla felt her face begin to flush again.

Why couldn't Stanley keep a low profile?

"Ahh!"

Just as everything seemed peaceful, a thomanly scream suddenly p belongs to en.swnovel Pierced through the late hour.

The atmosphere instantly turned serious.

Chapter 1822 Chapter 1822 When Xyla Quest heard the voice, a sensation of numbness settled over her head.

The workers were also nervous as their eyes widened in terror.

Stanley Batton frowned slightly before glancing around. He then turned toward the direction where the sound came from.

Seeing this, Xyla subconsciously grabbed his hand tightly, mustering the courage to look in the same direction.

The scream had come from the seventh room where they found the coffin.

Xyla felt the numbness worsen.

Could the sound have come from the corpse in the coffin?

The others were also looking in the direction of the coffin, a tensed mood settling over them.

With the entire world falling silent, it was as if they could even hear a pin drop.

It was the kind of deadly silence that people were most afraid of.

Xyla's nerves had also gotten tense as she tightened her grip on her husband's hand.

Under such circumstances, Stanley was her only source of security.

It felt like she was holding onto a floating log to stop herself from drowning.

Right then, all she wanted was to hold onto this floating log tightly, not letting go no matter what.

Stanley slowly gazed at her face. At that moment, his facial expression softened.

"Ahh!"

A woman's scream came again, even louder than before.

It felt colder.

The temperature in the underground palace seemed to have dropped by several degrees.

Everyone felt chills all over their bodies.

Meanwhile, Xyla already had goosebumps from head to toe.

However, Stanley still seemed calm. It was as if he wasn't affected at all.

He was able to remain calm even when things went south.

He touched Xyla's face. "Don't be afraid, I'm here," he assured her softly. Danger laid in wait.

Although Xyla was feeling nervous, knowing t they might elect challenging obstacle ahead, she felt secure for some reason.

It was comforting to know that Stanley told her not to be afraid and that he was there for her.

Xyla slowly nodded. "I wonder if the woman in the coffin is upset."

Stanley continued to stroke her face affectionately. "Hmm, I'll have a look," he said calmly.

"I'll come with you." Xyla couldn't possibly let Stanley take on any risk on his own.

"You're pregnant. I don't want you to tag along and risk getting hurt," Stanley responded.

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold expression returned to his face. He glanced at the bodyguards and soldiers behind him. "Ten of you, come with me to have a look," he ordered.

"Ahh!"

A pitiful sound came from the coffin again once he issued the order.

The people behind them shivered uncontrollably.

The bodyguards who came with Stanley exchanged glances and then proceeded to walk up to Stanley with a few other soldiers. Everyone stood neatly in a row.

Stanley continued to look at Xyla tenderly. "We'll go and check it out. Leave with the rest, okay?"

No matter what happened, Stanley only wanted himself and his companions to deal with it.

However, Xyla grabbed his hand tightly. "No way, I'm coming with you. Dangerous or not, I have to get through it with you."

After she told him that, a golden ray tappeared near the coffin a golden shadow flfinet by and Stanley immediately after.

In the next second, the entire world suddenly turned dark.

Chapter 1823 Chapter 1823 It was so dark that nobody could even see their fingers in front of them.

Everybody started talking at once... many even screamed out loud.

Overwhelmed with fear once again, a strange force suddenly lifted Xyla Quest, her body flying forward rapidly.

It happened so fast that she couldn't react in time.

She could not even cry for help, even if she wanted to.

It felt as if there was a restriction in her throat that stopped her from making any sound.

Her body floated in the air and moved forward as if she was in outer space where gravity no longer existed.

The darkness intensified feelings of fear, and at this very moment, Xyla had never been more scared.

Her heart was also beating faster and faster as if it would soon leap out of her chest.

The strong sense of fear caused her mind to go blank.

Right then, Xyla felt that she had lost complete control of her body, where a strange force was whirling her around like a spinning top in the air. And then, her body stopped mid-air.

When Xyla opened her eyes, it was still pitch black.

She tried to speak, but she still couldn't.

At that moment, she could already feel Satan approaching her.

The fear of the unknown continued to spread, and it made her feel clueless as to what to do next.

This was the second time she felt this close to death. The snowy night when Tom Sullivan dumped her was the other time.

Just as her fear rose to the extreme, the surroundings suddenly became bright.

The seventh room in the underground palace came into sight.

Xyla's body dangled a few meters above the white jade coffin. Everything looked the same as it did before.

However, Xyla noticed something different upon closer scrutiny.

The door she had opened was shut and the female corpse in the jade coffin had also disappeWhite Countless questions appeared in Xyla's mind.

'What's going on?' 'Where is the corpse?' 'Why did something odd like this happen?' 'Isn't this way too mystical?' Xyla took a deep breath as goosebumps covered all over her body.

Her scalp hadn't stopped feeling numb.

After mustering the courage to look around, Xyla still didn't discover anything.

She continued to shift her gaze around. Soon, her attention returned to the coffin.

At that moment, she could see a beautiful woman with a crown ove lying in the coffin, smiling her axyla. oing She even winked at her.

The scene had appeared so suddenly that Xyla suddenly found it hard to process in her mind.

Utter fear devoured Xyla completely.

Her scalp felt even more numb now.

"Ahh!"

Xyla screamed before carefully turning to look at the woman.

The woman's clothes and initially were the same ones et y worn by the skeletalet in the coffin.

Chapter 1824 Chapter 1824 The girl before Xyla seemed to be around sixteen or seventeen.

Her skin was fair and smooth. She was skinny, but with curves in all the right places.

The girl had adorable bangs.

Her facial features made her seem like she was from mixed heritage. There wasn't a single flaw on her body.

Xyla Quest subconsciously looked around her.

She had a shadow, which meant she wasn't a ghost.

She was human.

Xyla took a deep breath and looked at her. "You... who are you? Are you that corpse?"

The girl blinked. "Yes."

There was a youthfulness in her voice, and she sounded pleasant.

At that moment, she appeared to be harmless. However, Xyla was still wary of her.

Xyla frowned. "Did you do those things to me because... you're angry at me? Is that it? Do you think I've taken away your possessions?

"If that's the case, I'm willing to return everything," Xyla added.

However, the girl shook her head and blinked again, highlighting her long eyelashes.

Whenever she blinked, her eyelashes would flutter most adorably.

"Why, then? Is it because I disturbed you? I'm sorry," Xyla apologized.

However, the girl shook her head again.

Xyla felt confused now. "Why else? Also, could you please put me down?"

The girl nodded gently, blinking as she let out a little laugh.

She had dimples when she laughed.

Xyla was mesmerized by this strange girl.

In the her feet second, Xyla could feel. her tentimeter away from the just a the ground, putting her coffin.

The entire process happened so quickly that she had no chance to react.

Being this close to the girl allowed Xyla to see her face even more clearly.

Upon closer inspection, she could not see even a single flaw on the girl's face.

Her skin was as smooth as a shell-less egg, but that might probably be because she had been underground all this time.

belongs to FindNovel wContent Her skin looked even whiter than chalk, her cheeks without a tinge of red.

Even so, she was beautiful.

But Xyla would not be tricked by her beauty.

After standing still, Xyla clenched her fists and looked toward the exit.

In any case, she needed a quick escape.

"Are you thinking of escaping?" girl asked, slowly sitting the coffin. Content benet Content be the She then stood up and stepped out of the coffin before approaching Xyla.

As she moved closer, the scent of incense wafted into Xyla's nostrils.

It was the scent of incense in temples.

Chapter 1825

Chapter 1825

Xyla Quest subconsciously took a step back.

Her heart was still filled with terror, but she remained calm on the surface. "What are you doing?"

The girl smiled. "If I wanted to do anything, I would've done it by now. Do you think I'd keep you here until now?"

'That made sense, too.'

Even so, Xyla still didn't let her guard down.

"What exactly do you want?"

The girl smiled again, showing her white and immaculate teeth.

Right away, the girl knelt in front of Xyla. "Master, I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

Xyla was suddenly dumbfounded.

What did she mean by that?

"Why were you waiting for me? What do you mean?" Xyla asked.

"I have been waiting for you for over 1900 years, and now you're finally here, Master," the girl said in earnest.

Xyla couldn't be more confused.

1900 years?

She had been waiting for Xyla for over 1900 years.

"Why were you waiting for me?" Xyla asked.

"Allow me to introduce myself," the girl replied. "I'm a princess from Warrington. My name is Sophie Kenwick."

"Sophie Kenwick?" Xyla still seemed confused.

Sophie nodded. "Yes, my father was

a king by the name of Johan Kenwick Back then, he fell in love with a commoner, and so I was born. He loved my mother very much, and he also loved me a lot."

"When I was sixteen, I drowned in the palace; unfortunately. After I died, my father buried me here. He had prepared this tomb for himself, but he gave it to me becausel died first.

"Back then, my spirit wandered around outside. I witnessed everything and when I saw how sad my father was, I wanted to return, but I couldn't. I couldn't even speak to him. "We were kept apart in two separate worlds. There was an invisible barrier that prevented him from seeing or touching me. Meanwhile, I could see him but not touch him.

"Whenever I tried to touch him, a strange force would push me back, and my entire body would hurt.

"My spirit wandered around just like that. By the third month, a god suddenly appeared. He told me to wait here patiently, and that one day, someone would come to my rescue.

"He told me that when that person

showed up, would be the day of

my resurrection. Then, he gave me a cultivation book and asked me to read it and learn the divine

vela

techniques so that I could repay my

savior in the future.

"If I failed to repay my savior, I would vanish instantly," Sophie explained.

Xyla felt increasingly bewildered by what she had heard.

Nevertheless, she had experienced a lot of strange things now that she had gotten used to it.

Xyla slowly exhaled. "Did the god tell you why he helped you?"

Sophie shook her head. "No... I asked him before, but he told me that he could not reveal anything. He also said that the answers would come one day in the future." Xyla had even more questions in her mind all of a sudden.

What were the secrets that the god couldn't reveal?

Why did he ask Sophie to wait for Xyla here?

Why did he give Sophie a cultivation book and ask her to train? Why did he ask Sophie to repay Xyla?

Could this god have predicted that Xyla would face such trials now? Was that why he prepared all this in advance? Xyla felt increasingly confused.

Chapter 1826 Chapter 1826 "That god even told me that the person who would resurrect me is my master, and if I wanted to repay my master's kindness, I would have to stay by their side and protect them. "I asked about the duration I would need to protect my master, and he told me that I'd have to do it until a time he thought to be sufficient.

"I had a vivid memory of him with white hair and a white beard, wearing a long white robe. He struck me as a kind and righteous old man.

"I asked him what his rank was in the celestial realm, but he didn't answer me. He left right after that," Sophie Kenwick explained.

Her words made Xyla Quest feel even more perplexed.

After listening to all this, Xyla sensed that the god did not have any nefarious intention. He had intentionally planned for Sophie to protect Xyla.

But why did it have to be Sophie?

Xyla frowned slightly. "Why you, though?"

Sophie shook her head. "I don't know either. There were many things he refused to divulge despite my interrogations. He just kept repeating how he couldn't reveal heavenly secrets. "Master, I've waited for you for a long time, and you're finally here. My father is long gone, now that I've resurrected." The light in Sophie's eyes disappeared as she talked about this. She lowered her face in sadness, and soon, tears began flowing down from the corner of her eyes.

She looked pitiful when she cried.

Throughout this conversation, Xyla began to let her guard down.

She retrieved a white handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Sophie, who accepted it and quickly wiped her tears away.

"During my time here, I have been paying attention to my father and my family. I witnessed his death in person, as well as the passing of my family members. I saw the rise and fall of each one of them.

"To be honest, I was depressed when I watched each of them leave. I have thought about giving up on waiting for you... I wanted to give up on myself.

"I didn't see a point to living on when everyone I knew was gone. However, just as I made up my mind, the god appeared again and told me not to give up.

"He said that my fate was tied to my loved ones. The longer I waited, the better their luck would be. Their lives would also be better when they reincarnate.

"On the other hand, if I were to give up on my life, their luck would fade. They would be reborn into lowly backgrounds, even to the point of turning into animals only to get slaughtered by humans.

"I didn't dare to give up when I heard about this. I had no choice but to wait as I didn't want my loved ones to come back with bad luck.

"By the one-thousandth year of waiting, the god came to see me again, advising me to continue being patient. He even said that my loved ones led charmed lives each time е they reincarnated. My father, especially, had never stopped being apart of the noble families." Sophie's eyes lit up as she talked about this.

Xyla sighed in relief. "That's great."

Chapter 1827 Chapter 1827 Sophie Kenwick laughed. "Yeah, that is great. However, the god didn't tell me who my father and kins had reincarnated into due to heavenly secrets and all.

"I may not know who they are, but I'm happy enough to know that they lived wonderful lives each time they reincarnated.

"Honestly, waiting for you in this dark place was torturous, but thank you for finally coming to me and letting me become human again. Now I can finally see the light...

"I am so grateful to you because that god told me that my loved ones would all receive a tremendous blessing after I become human again.

"Because of your arrival, they will have even better lives in the future," Sophie said with an earnest look in her eyes.

Xyla couldn't help herself from reaching out to hold her hands. "What about you? Will your life get better too?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact, I've acquired immortality," Sophie answered. "I get to live forever."

"That's pretty nice."

"I don't think so. All my loved ones are gone. There's no point in living, to be honest. However, I have to live on because my fate is tied to theirs," Sophie replied. Xyla nodded gently. "Okay, live on. Life is wonderful."

Sophie nodded too. "Regardless, thank you. After all, my loved ones will have better lives because of you. From now on, apart from living for them, I would also live for you because you gave me life and helped improve the lives of my loved ones."

Sophie was grateful to Xyla from the bottom of her heart.

Although Sophie could never see her family again, she still hoped they could be happy in each lifetime.

Xyla smiled slightly and grabbed Sophie's hands. "From now on, consider me as your family. I will also protect you. We'll protect each other."

Sophie nodded. "Okay, Master, we'll protect each other. Master, is your name Xyla Quest?"

"How did you know that?"

"There is a technique in my cultivation book that allows me to find out about your identity, age, and past with just a single look.

"Master, you had a tough life back then... I saw that you nearly died because of a jerk you met.

"Fortunately, you met someone kind later, and you recovered from your illness. You even met Stanley Batton, the man who loves you with all of his heart," Sophie added.

е A look of surprise briefly appeared on Xyla's face when she heard about the identity verifying technique "That's impressive! What other techniques do you know?"

Sophie didn't answer right away. Instead, she smiled ambiguously. "Hehe, I'll leave it at that. You'll find out more about me little by little.

"Oh, right... Master, a small portion of what's in here was left behind by my father. The rest was left by the god, who said it was all for you," Sophie said.

Xyla seemed surprised when she heard this. "What? For me?"

"Yes, that's what he said. I asked him why, but he wouldn't tell me et asked him if he was related to you, but he didn't answer me either. He le right after that," Sophie said.

Chapter 1828 Chapter 1828 Sophie Kenwick's words made Xyla Quest feel increasingly curious about the god she had mentioned.

Why was he helping her?

Why did it have to be Sophie?

"Why did it have to be you?" Xyla asked.

Sophie shook her head. There was a brightness in her eyes. "I don't know either."

"I asked him a lot of questions, but he wouldn't answer any of them. He either said he couldn't reveal heavenly secrets or that I would naturally find out when the time is right." Sophie's eyes suddenly lit up after she finished her sentence.

"Oh, right. He mentioned..." Sophie trailed off.

"What?" Xyla asked.

"He mentioned I would receive a special reward once I've done well enough, but he didn't tell me specifically what it was," Sophie said.

"I kept asking for more details, and he replied that it was something I greatly desired. After that, he left."

The more Xyla heard, the more mysterious she found this god.

Xyla believed that there should be a special reason why Sophie was the one sent to help her.

As for what the reason was, Xyla would only be able to find out once the god showed up in the future.

If it was meant to be, Xyla would meet that god sooner or later.

"To be honest, I don't want anything. I just want to return to my father's side, but that isn't possible. After all, that was a long time ago, and I can't possibly go back." Sophie released a long sigh after finishing her sentence, making Xyla study her face carefully.

When Sophie made certain faces, she looked like a child.

She was like a naive kid who missed her loved ones and the past.

Xyla could relate to that as she had experienced it before, too.

"The god also said I had to give you all of my funeral goods," Sophie added.

"What? Why?"

Sophie shook her head. "I don't know. He said these things belonged the first place. Anyway, I to you ive these things to you, or I will vanish."

Xyla was speechless.

"That's why everything here is yours, Master," Sophie said with an earnest look in her eyes.

Xyla felt even more confused now.

What on earth was this?

Why did Sophie's things belong to her?

Were they somehow related in their past lives?

The more she thought about this, the more confused she felt.

Suddenly, Xyla remembered Stanley Batton and the others were outside. "You have to let me out quickly Otherwise, the people outside will worry about me."

Sophie nodded before blinking. "Yeah, I thought so, too. However, before you leave, I have a question for you."

"Yes, go ahead," Xyla urged.

"I want to stay by your side to protect you. Will you take me in, Master?" Sophie asked.

"Of course," Xyla replied.

"In that case, I'll let you leave.

However, out I must hide first. If I waket you like this, the people out there will be horrified," Sophie said.

"Yes, okay," Xyla agreed.

"Once you've returned safely, I'll come to you," Sophie said.

After that, Sophie disappeared before Xyla, but as she did so, the corpse in the coffin returned to its original state.

Xyla felt even more impressed by Sophie when she saw this.

Chapter 1829 Chapter 1829 Sophie Kenwick's magic was truly on a whole different level.

Next, Sophie brought down the wall that separated Xyla Quest from the current chamber and the sixth room.

The outside world appeared before Xyla's eyes once again.

Right then, everyone outside was in a petrified state.

They all stood still with blank stares in their eyes, while their postures and facial expressions were all different.

Stanley Batton was also in a similar state.

The only difference was that Stanley looked slightly better than the rest.

Right then, Stanley had his hands in his pockets as he stood still. His gaze was deep, and his demeanor was cold as usual.

Even if Stanley had turned into a statue, he'd still be the most handsome one.

Xyla instantly panicked.

She quickly walked up to him and reached out to touch his face. "Darling? Darling!"

Right then, everyone suddenly reverted to normal again, letting out a long sigh.

Stanley looked tenderly at his wife. "Honey, do you feel warm?"

Meanwhile, the others sat down, seeming relaxed.

It was as if Xyla had gone back in time before anything happened. Everyone was immensely carefree.

Nobody mentioned anything about the sudden blackout earlier.

Xyla looked at her husband with a shocked expression. She then turned to look at everyone else. "Do any of you remember what just happened?"

One of the archeologists stared at her. "Didn't you two just put on a show of affection for us? Ms. Quest, that, you don't have to empothest, we know you love each other."

When Xyla heard this, she quickly turned to look at Stanley only to find him with a curious look in his eyes.

He held Xyla's face with both hands and caressed her. "What's the matter, hmm? Why are you saying such odd things?"

After looking at everyone and Stanley again, Xyla felt certain that their memories had been wiped away.

It was as if all the supernatural occurrences from before had been erased from their memories.

Xyla believed Sophie had done all this and it was probably for the better.

If everyone remembered what happened, things would get chaotic.

Besides, if they remembered what happened, the trauma could remain with them.

Xyla immediately looked at Stanley and the workers around before smiling in a relaxed manner. She then awkwardly scratched her head.

The others didn't take her reaction too seriously and soon started behaving normally.

Stanley was the only one who continued to regard Xyla with a thoughtful expression on his face. He seemed to be on the verge of having something to say, buthe didn't speak up.

Xyla knew what he was thinking the moment their eyes met but chose to remain silent in the presence of others.

The two of them implicitly decided not to discuss this.

After Xyla and the others rested while and ate, they moved Vol.net everything out of the set cla except for the white jade coffin.

Sophie lied inside it.

Xyla wasn't sure if moving would affect Sophie.

Hence, as a safety precaution, Xyla decided not to touch it.

Chapter 1830 Chapter 1830 Once all items had been moved to the national treasury, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton returned to their house in their private helicopter together with their bodyguards. By the time their helicopter landed in the courtyard, it was already six o'clock in the morning.

On a winter day like this one, the sky wasn't completely bright yet.

The entire world seemed gray.

It was the quietest time in this city.

It felt as if the entire world stood still.

Having been busy for a long time, Xyla and Stanley were both exhausted.

Upon alighting from the helicopter, the two of them went into the house and took a quick shower before getting into bed together.

Right then, the sky was beginning to brighten a little.

Xyla pressed on a remote control to shut the blinds to block out the sunlight.

The entire house became dark again.

Hugged by Stanley, Xyla told him all about her strange encounter in the underground palace.

After listening to everything she said, Stanley still maintained a calm look in his eyes. "I had a hunch that something really did happen."

"Yes, Darling. I think this whole thing is getting more and more complicated. Our past lives were much more complex than we imagined," Xyla sighed.

"I must be somehow related to that god and Sophie Kenwick. Otherwise, he wouldn't treat me like this. Neither would he pick Sophie intentionally either. He even said that Sophie's burial goods all belonged to me in the first place," Xyla added.

As Xyla spoke about this, she no longer felt sleepy.

Stanley seemed to be plotting something in his mind from the look in his eyes. "Yeah, I believe we will find answers to all this sooner or later."

Xyla nodded. "Yeah."

Stanley frowned. "But, do you really plan to keep Sophie around? Aren't you worried that she might be lying?

"What if she has an ulterior motive?" Stanley added.

"I don't think so. If she's a bad person, she could've done anything to me when we were alone at the chamber earlier... She could've easily gotten what she wanted from me. Besides, I think she's a decent girl," Xyla said.

Stanley thought deeply for a few seconds before nodding. "Okay. I hope I'm just over-thinking."

"I trust my instincts," Xyla insisted.

With the powers Sophie had, she could've easily done anything she wanted to Xyla.

There was no reason for Sophie to stay by her side for any evil scheme.

Since Sophie didn't harm Xyla back then, hopefully, that meant she wouldn't in the future either.

"Are you planning to let her stay in our house?" Stanley asked.

"Yeah, can I?"

"Sure, but what's her identity here?" Stanley asked.

"She can be a bodyguard," Xyla suggested.

He thought for a few seconds longer before nodding. "Okay, let's not talk about this now. Shall we sleep?"

Xyla nodded obediently. She curled up in Stanley's arms and fell asleep.

She had a dreamless sleep all night long.

The couple slept until three o'clock in the afternoon before waking up at the same time.

As their eyes opened, the thick curtare still blocking the sunlight out. The entire seemed dark as night world.el.net Xyla slept very well this time, feeling relaxed when she opened her eyes.

Xyla stretched before reaching for her phone to check the time.

then curled up in Stanley's Sheet "Good morning, Darling."

Her voice sounded even softer than usual when she just woke up.

Listening to her voice made Stanley feel as if he was melting on the inside.
