Ch. 2061..2070
Chapter 2061 Chapter 2061 However, Sharon Lindt believed that good would always triumph over evil.
"Yeah," Xyla Quest said.
While they spoke, Wilson Batton and the others soon recovered.
They looked at Xyla and Sharon Lindt in confusion as if something strange had happened.
"Xyla, when did you and Sharon come back? Why didn't I notice?" Wilson asked.
As he spoke, he picked up Lynette Batton, who was closest to him, and gazed down at her affectionately.
He was surprised to see a necklace with a red diamond around her neck. "I don't recall seeing anything around her neck previously."
"You just hadn't noticed it. It has been under her clothes since the beginning," Sharon told him dismissively.
"Is that so?" Wilson asked in a daze, wondering how he missed that.
He then turned to look at Leon, noticing a similar necklace around his neck but with a different color.
"Why does Leon have a necklace, too?" he wondered, recalling there wasn't anything there earlier.
However, he might not have noticed it, either.
Other than that, could there be any other reason?
Meanwhile, the nannies also had a lot of questions on their minds. However, none of them said anything and merely glanced at each other in confusion. Perhaps, things were exactly as they said.
They paid so much attention to the children's faces that they failed to notice the necklaces they were wearing.
Meanwhile, Xyla released a satisfied sigh, glad that they managed to convince everyone so easily.
"Dad, it's getting late. You and Mom I'll should get some rest. You can sleep in the room directly opposite. I take you there right now. I'll also do some cleaning up while we're at it." en.swhovels.net Hearing that, Wilson instantly stopped her. "No, it's fine. Sharomet and I can clean up on our own. You should stay in bed and rest. Go to bed and don't mind us."
"That's right, Xyla. You need proper rest to recover. We're perfectly fine. You don't need to do anything for us," Sharon said before taking Lynette from Wilson to kiss her forehead.
"All right, Lynette. I'm leaving now. You and Leon ought to be good," she added.
She wanted Wilson to leave so that he wouldn't ask too many questions.
"Why don't you get Stanley to help you with the cleaning?" Xyla suggested.
It didn't feel right for her and Stanley not to help her in-laws when they were moving.
"It's fine, Stan needs to take care of you," Wilson said.
He then looked sternly at his son. "You'd better take good care of Xyla. If anything happens to her, it's your fault. Do you understand?"
Wilson's attitude toward the two of them was completely different.
To Xyla, he was a kind father figure, but toward Stanley, he was a strict father.
The nannies couldn't help but look at each other when they witnessed this.
They wondered if Xyla and Stanley were mistakenly exchanged as babies.
It didn't seem like Stanley was born in the Batton family.
"I understand. Dad, Mom, go to bed and stop worrying," Stanley said.
Sharon nodded sadly. "I simply can't get enough of my grandchildren." With that, she reluctantly pulled Wilson along and left.
Chapter 2062
Chapter 2062
Xyla Quest let out a long sigh when they left.
She thought it would be tough to convince Wilson Batton, but it turned out to be very easy.
Turning around, she studied the nannies who were busy looking after the children. None of them asked about what happened. It seemed they had all fallen for it too.
"Honey, let's go. You should get some rest now," Stanley Batton said, wrapping his arms around Xyla.
However, she was reluctant to leave her children as she gazed at them. "But I still want to be with them for a while longer."
Stanley immediately frowned sternly. "No, you've not rested enough today. Your health is more important, okay?"
Xyla tugged at his hand pleadingly. "Honey, please let me stay here for half an hour longer. Can I?"
"No," he replied in a dominant and irrefutable tone.
However, Xyla immediately flashed him a pleading look. "Honey..."
Ever since Stanley met Xyla, there were three things he was most afraid of.
Firstly, it was when she cried.
Secondly, it was when she was unhappy.
Thirdly, it was when she used her puppy dog eyes on him.
Whenever she did one of those three things, he'd immediately surrender.
Sighing helplessly, Stanley gently ruffled her hair. "Fine. What am I to do with you, Xyla?"
Once Xyla acted adorably, his resolve would fade.
When that happened, he'd agree to anything she wanted, even giving up his life for her.
Upon hearing this, Xyla released a long sigh before standing on tiptoes to kiss Stanley on his right cheek.
Although it was a gentle peck, his heart started beating rapidly.
However, he remained calm on the surface.
Seeing how intimate the two of them behaved with each other, the nannies felt envious again.
Not only was he rich and handsome, but he was also good to his wife. He was indeed a rare catch. They were all women, but why was Xyla so lucky?
Xyla walked happily over to her children, hugging Lynette Batton before doing the same to Leon Batton.
She then placed them carefully on the same bed, leaning back against the railing to gaze at her adorable .

When their eyes met, Lynette and Leon smiled widely at Xyla
Simously, their smiles
her feel warm on the inside en.sw
Her entire body relaxed. Their smiles made her wish she could stay by their side forever.
Xyla silently swore to shower them with love and do whatever she could to accompany them as they grew.
She wouldn't miss out on anything in their lives regardless of how minor it was.
Stanley began to smile while
observing
walking
this heart-warming scene
up to Xyla and leaning against the railing, too.
His eyes were trained on his children.
The family of four was having a peaceful moment together.
That scene was even more engaging than a carefully curated idol drama scene.
The nannies were all stunned by seeing how good the family of four looked together. No artiste would be able to compete with them if they were in the entertainment industry. After gazing at their children for a while, Xyla and Stanley simultaneously reached out to them.
Chapter 2063 Chapter 2063 Xyla Quest reached out to Leon Batton, while Stanley Batton reached out to Lynette Batton.
The twins each grabbed their parents' index fingers respectively.
Xyla felt her heart swelling with pride, seeing Leon's tiny soft hand hold hers.
Stanley felt the same way.
His eyes lingered on his wife before landing on his children, feeling intensely content.
He believed that his life would be perfect if the nine-tailed demon fox didn't exist and if he didn't have karmic debts from his past life.
His life could be peaceful and free of worries with a stable marriage and adorable children. Nobody could be happier than him in the world.
They continued gazing at their children tenderly, neither of them seemed willing to let go.
Without realizing it, half an hour had gone by.
Xyla's waist began to ache from bending forward for an extended period. Frowning slightly, she straightened back up carefully, gently stroking her waist where the anesthetic was applied.
For cesarean delivery, the needle of the anesthetic injection was thick, so women normally suffered from its side effects for a long time.
Xyla was no exception.
Lately, she'd feel some discomfort on that part of her waist now and then, usually when she sat or bent over for too long.
She figured it would take a long time for her to fully recover.
"What's the matter?" Stanley asked, noticing her discomfort.
"It's not a big deal. The injection site on my waist felt uncomfortable," Xyla answered.
Wordlessly, he directly lifted her and carried her to the double bed nearby, his eyes narrowing in concern.
"Why are you feeling uncomfortable again? Lie down, and I'll give you a massage."
"It's fine. I was bent over for too long. It might also be because we went through a lot in the afternoon," Xyla said.
Stanley's facial expression became even more stern. "Xyla, you have to listen to me from now on, okay? You must rest more." Xyla nodded.
He flipped her body around carefully and pressed her gently against the bed. He then sat next to her and gingerly massaged the part of her waist that was aching.
His hand seemed to possess some strange magic.
Xyla was already feeling much better just by having Stanley massage her waist a few times.
Meanwhile, the nannies watching nearby couldn't help but exchange glances. They were hired to look after the children, not being constantly envious.
Why were Xyla and Stanley so natural with their show of intimacy?
The longer these women stayed in the house, the more they wished they were Xyla.
She was so lucky!
Who could've imagined that a distinguished man like Stanley would give his wife massages at home?
They had gotten to know a side of Stanley that nobody else did.
"It feels good," Xyla murmured, spreading her arms wider. Her facial expression was making it clear that she enjoyed it. Stanley smiled in satisfaction. "That's good to hear."
Xyla was feeling much better after a while so she got up carefully. "I'm fine now. Thank you, Honey."
"Silly girl, don't mention it. Since you're Our 36ing better, let's go b for bed," he suggested bet room for a shower and get ready Xyla nodded. She was being very obedient.
Stanley picked her up wordlessly and walked out of the room.
Chapter 2064
Chapter 2064
"People who didn't know them might think they had just fallen in love."
"Stanley Batton is cold to everyone else, but he's very affectionate toward Xyla Quest. Isn't that romantic?"
"He gave Xyla a massage. I've never seen this side of him!"
"I suddenly feel like a failure in life. I'm also a woman, but my husband isn't half as good!"
"Sigh, we're in the same boat. Anyone would feel the same way after seeing Xyla."
The nannies were talking amongst themselves before releasing long helpless sighs. They then returned to Lynette Batton and Leon Batton's side.
At this moment, when they looked at the beautiful children with nobody else around, they began speaking freely once again-
"These two children are truly adorable. They've practically inherited all the good traits of their parents."
"You're right. Just like what people say on the internet, they are absolute winners in life."
"I realized that people adored by God are particularly lucky. Look at Xyla. She gave birth to beautiful twins. She has nothing to worry about."
"Yeah, she has both a son and a daughter. She won't even need to get pregnant again."
"Sigh! Comparisons only make us upset."
They continued chatting for a while before they returned to work.
Meanwhile, Wilson Batton had just finished taking a bath in the guest room in the other room. Seemingly deep in thought, he sat on the bed with a frown on his face.
Sharon Lindt, who had also just finished taking a shower and was dabbing expensive skincare on her skin, immediately walked over to her husband, sitting next to him. "What's the matter, Honey?" Wilson frowned deeply. "Darling, do you think I've got Alzheimer's disease?"
He had a concerned look in his eyes.
His wife felt confused at his question. "What do you mean? Why would you feel that way?"
She immediately felt worried as she spoke. Could her husband sense something odd about her?
"I clearly don't recall Lynette and Leon having necklaces around their necks. Why were they suddenly wearing necklaces?
"Could the necklaces have been
there all along, and I have simply
forgotten about them? If I'm this forgetful it must mean I have Alzheimer's disease, right?" Wilson asked with growing concern. His face was tense with all the insecurities he felt.

Sharon took a deep breath guiltily, holding his hand. "How could that be? It's all in your mind. You just didn't notice the necklaces. It's not a big deal, honestly."
"No, I still think there's something wrong with me," he insisted.
"No, there isn't, trust me."
"I'll have to get a check-up at the hospital tomorrow," he informed her.
"You don't have to"
Seeing how concerned her husband seemed made her feel even more guilty.
Regardless, no matter what, she didn't want to confide in anyone else about the things Xyla and Stanley told her.
She couldn't even tell her husband about it.
"But I don't feel secure. If I do have Alzheimer's disease, it's best to start treatment earlier. Otherwise, things might get worse. What if I forget you? Wilson's eyes filled with tears at the thought.
"I absolutely won't let myself forget you," he added.
Sharon instantly felt touched when she heard this.
Chapter 2065 Chapter 2065 Sharon Lindt instantly hugged her husband tightly, both beginning to feel emotional.
"Anyone would forget things sometimes. It is not a big deal. It happens to me too," Sharon said.
"Really?" Wilson Batton asked.
"Yeah, it happens to me frequently, too, but I wouldn't suspect I had Alzheimer's."
He remained silent.
Although Sharon was trying her best to comfort him, he still wanted to find time to get himself checked at the hospital.
If there was a problem, he wanted it diagnosed sooner so that he could start treatment sooner, too.
***
When Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton finished taking a bath, the two of them lay down on their large, white bed, her arms wrapped around Stanley.
Stanley recalled that they hadn't had sex for a while now. He began to feel restless on the inside.
However, he suppressed his urges when he thought of Xyla's condition.
Inhaling deeply, Stanley gently ruffled her hair and kissed her cheek. "You must be exhausted today. Let's get some rest, okay?"
Xyla blushed when she sensed his erection. "Okay, sure."
She then moved close to his ear. "Wait for a while longer. I've done some research. I still need some time, but once I'm ready, I'll-I'll give you a surprise," she whispered. "Okay."
Even if Stanley had been informed by research that she was ready for intimacy right then, he wouldn't do it.
Xyla needed to get proper rest now.
She could empathize with how he was feeling now, making her feel sad for him.
In the next second, she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. "I know it's been hard on you, Honey."
They used to have sex nearly every day in the past. Now, Stanley had abstained for a long while. Naturally, it was tough for him.
"I'm fine. As long as you're healthy, I'm fine with anything," he said.
Xyla felt deeply touched when she heard this.
"My parents will be staying here from now on. It's tough to avoid conflict altogether. If you're unhappy about anything, then tell me. Don't keep it to yourself, okay? I'll always speak up for you," he said soothingly.
Stanley was unlike other men.
Most men would tell their wives to tolerate their parents. If there was anything their wives weren't happy with, they'd ask them to hold their tongues. After all, parents came first. However, Stanley was different.
He told Xyla not to keep things to herself. On the contrary, he even urged her to tell him everything so that he could speak up for her.
Although Xyla knew her in-laws wouldn't make her life difficult, she still felt moved in her heart.
She nodded. "Okay, but I'm not worried about this at all."
She didn't believe her in-laws would do anything awful to her.
"I'm not worried either, but better to be safe than sorry. I just wanted to tell you that. Also, if there's anything we haven't done well enough, you must let us know and not keep it to yourself.
"In this family, you're the most important person. You can vent your emotions if you need to, and you can cry whenever you want. You can do anything you want to do," he added with an affectionate look in his eyes.
Xyla appeared shocked when she heard this. "Why are you suddenly telling me all this?"
Chapter 2066 Chapter 2066 "It's nothing. I just wanted to let you know," Stanley Batton said.
Xyla Quest hugged her husband tightly. "Those things won't happen to me because I believe your parents wouldn't let them." "Yeah, I know, but I just wanted to make sure," he told her.
Stanley knew his parents' temperament very well, but he still wanted to reassure Xyla in the event she felt upset at any given time. More importantly, he didn't want her to tolerate anyone who gave her a hard time. He wouldn't allow himself or his parents to upset her.
"I know. Honestly, if anything like that happened, I'd tolerate it for your sake," Xyla replied.
"I'm so protective of you that you don't even have to put up with me. Why should you put up with anyone else?" he asked.
Hearing him, she felt secure, a warm sensation flowing through her chest. Even the air tasted sweet.
Smiling, she continued to hug Stanley. "You are so unlike other people. I've struck gold with you."
"I'm the one who struck gold," he countered.
His wife was gentle, pretty, independent, elegant, and street-smart. There was nothing he could pick on, and that made her the best woman in the world.
"All right, let's stop blowing each other's trumpets and go to bed," she suggested.
"Okay."
Soon, they fell asleep, both sleeping soundly, perhaps due to the comfort provided by their own large bed.
Meanwhile, Sharon Lindt snuck out of bed and started to walk out of her room in the darkness.
Hearing her movements, Wilson Batton instantly turned on the lights, staring at her in surprise. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to check on the children. I don't feel safe letting a bunch of strangers look after them," Sharon whispered.
Even though she had hired nannies that were highly sought after in the country with rave reviews under their belts, she still couldn't fully entrust her grandchildren to them. "In that case, I'm going too," Wilson said, already getting out of bed.
"You should rest. I'll be fine on my own."
"Let's go together. I miss those two already," he insisted, not wanting to spend a single minute apart from their grandchildren.
Whenever he thought of his adorable grandchildren, he wished he could look at them every day.
"Fine," his wife sighed. "I miss them too much, as well."
Sharon felt a special connection with the twins, in particular. She had other grandkids, but somehow, she missed these two the most. Wilson shared her feelings, too. Holding hands, they walked into the nursery, pushing the door open to find all six nannies still awake.
The twins were not asleep yet, as two nannies held them, lulling them to sleep while the others were setting up the cradles.
Everyone had their assigned tasks, and they all worked harmoniously together.
Seeing the children still up, Sharon and Wilson felt even more excited as they eagerly swept the children up into their arms respectively. "Let us take it from here," Sharon told the nannies who were holding them. "You can get some rest."
They nodded respectfully, neither saying a word to avoid disrupting the peaceful atmosphere.
Sharon held Lynette Batton while Wilson carried Leon Batton in his arms.
The children had innocent looks in their large, clear eyes, smiling sweetly in their arms.
Their gazes seemed capable of seeing through all the filth and evil in the world.
The senior couple sat on the large bed, quietly and gently coaxing the children to sleep, which they did very soon in their embrace without any fuss. There was a light and milky scent on them, an aroma that appealed to Sharon and Wilson the most.
They were still reluctant to put the children down despite them already asleep Instead, they continued to hold the, quietly gazing at the tiny faces in wonder.
As they slept, their long lashes made them seem like adorable dolls, their plump hands clinging on the edges of Sharon and Wilson's shirts. Holding these children made the couple feel like they were holding the entire world.
Seeing this, the nannies surrounded them and bent over to look at the adorably sleeping children, all feeling fond of them.
"Sir, Madam, why don't you put them on the bed? It's very tiring to carry them like this," one of the nannies suggested.
Wilson instantly shook his head, then gazed lovingly at his grandchildren. "No, I want to carry them for a while. I'm reluctant to let go."
"Yeah, me too. I came over to hold them," Sharon told them, making the nannies feel envious of Xyla again.
Not only did she have a great husband, but she also had adorable children and caring in-laws.
"You two sure love your grandchildren," another nanny said.
"How could I not?" Sharon spoke. "We're related by blood, and besides, they're so tiny and adorable."
The nannies nodded in agreement as they listened.
Sharon and Wilson carried the children for a long while before they reluctantly put them down on the cradle.
The twins still slept soundly despite being moved around.
Their grandparents were still reluctant to leave, so they leaned et against the railing in front of them and continued to gaze affectionately at the children.
After a long while, the two of them finally left.
Sharon barely slept the rest of the night, getting up occasionally to enter the nursery to check up on them, even though she knew the nannies would take good care of them.
***
Xyla and Stanley slept peacefully throughout the night.
In the wee hours of the morning, Stanley woke up alone to hastily get ready and head to work.
While Xyla slept, Sharon and Wilson kept busy making breakfast for everyone.
Xyla slept until noon, her eyes reluctantly opening to see thick drapes that kept the sunlight out. She couldn't even tell whether it was day or night.
Reaching for her watch, she glanced at it, then promptly scrambled out of bed to pull the curtains apart when she saw the time.
Chapter 2067 Chapter 2067 Outside, it was a vibrant spring day, bright and cloudless.
With the decent weather, Xyla Quest was also in a pleasant mood.
After stretching, she quickly walked into the bathroom to brush her teeth.
Knock, knock, knock.
Hearing someone at the door, Xyla immediately opened it to find one of the nannies standing outside.
Smiling gently, she asked, "Were the kids being a nuisance last night?"
"Not at all. They were great kids, barely even cried."
"That's great," Xyla chuckled.
"Madam, I am to inform you that food is ready."
"All right, I'll be down right away," she replied.
The nanny nodded. "Madam, you really have a special place in the family."
Xyla couldn't resist smiling when she heard this. "Really?"
"Yes, everyone in the family revolves around you," the nanny nodded. "You come first in every aspect. I was supposed to come to get you for breakfast this morning, but Ms. Lindt said that you slept late last night and that you needed more rest."
"Mr. Batton is also very good to you. He left specific instructions for Ms. Lindt to take good care of you and not to make you upset as he was leaving the house. If my daughter could marry someone half as decent as your husband, I'd be satisfied," she added wistfully.
Who wouldn't want their daughter to marry into a family like this?
Never mind that, even if the family was half as good as the Batton family, it would already be a blessing.
Xyla's smile widened, feeling her heart swelling with warmth. "I'm sure she will. You seem like a fortunate person, so I believeel.net I your daughter is, too."
Her gentle voice and kind words instantly made the nanny smile. "You're such a nice person.
woel.net wonder they all like yonet A delicate and pretty girl like Xyla deserved to be treated gently by the world.
Xyla chuckled again. "You're too kind.
Wright, you should get back e I'll get ready to come à soon."
"Okay. There's a surprise for you downstairs," the nanny stated.
"What surprise?" Xyla seemed slightly surprised and began to feel curious.
However, the nanny didn't answer her question. "All right, I'll be heading downstairs first."
Xyla felt even more curious when the nanny hastily ran off.
What's with all the mystery?
After gently tousling her hair, Xyla quickly sat in front of the dressing table and began her skincare routine.
Since the nanny wasn't willing to tell her, she'd have to find out once she went downstairs.
Once she was done, she checked on her children before heading downstairs.
In the living room, a thick, sweet fragrance greeted her, smelling like a barbecue.
Xyla followed the scent into the kitchen to find bread of various shapes and sizes in the oven.
However, the kitchen was devoid of people.
She peered around before entering the dining room to find Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton the only ones there.
Chapter 2068 Chapter 2068 The Battons were both engrossed with their phones.
On the dining table, there were six mouth-watering dishes, including seafood broth, roasted abalones, steamed fish, steamed crabs, garlic lobsters, and a tomato omelet.
Every dish looked as exquisite as if a Michelin-star chef cooked it.
Xyla Quest could smell all the delectable aroma as she approached the dining table.
It appeared that Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton were waiting for her as they had yet to touch any of the dishes.
As soon as Sharon saw Xyla entering the dining room, she placed her phone down and approached her, holding her hand affectionately. "Come, Darling, let's have lunch together."
By the time Xyla sat down by her side, Wilson had his phone tucked away and began serving portions of food on her plate.
"Here, have more abalones. They're good for your health. Don't you like lobsters? Have some fish, too. It's your favorite."
Xyla scratched her head in embarrassment upon seeing how her father-in-law served her. "Thank you, Dad. I'm sorry for getting up late. You must have been waiting for a long time." Wilson shook his head. "It's nothing to worry about. Don't all young people wake up late? You're not old folks like us. Hurry, eat up."
Xyla chuckled and reached for some lobster flesh. "This tastes wonderful. Thank you for preparing such a sumptuous lunch. It must have been a lot of work."
"Not at all, it's just cooking. It hardly takes much physical effort. Does it taste good?" Sharon asked.
Xyla nodded.
The food they cooked always tasted great.
Sharon beamed when she heard this. "That's good. In that case, have some more. I've made all your favorite dishes. Moreover, Wilson ordered all the ingredients fresh from abroad." "They just arrived here this morning," Wilson smiled kindly.
"No wonder it tastes so fresh," Xyla praised.
Sharon used a pair of scissors to peel a king crab's leg. "Of course, my daughter-in-law should only have the freshest ingredients."
Then, she placed the peeled crab's leg in front of Xyla. "Here, have this as well. It's your favorite, too."
by how sincere the two of them ting her. "You both she.net Xyla was feeling even more flustered I can serve s to en.swnove Self "Sure, let's all eat together," Sharon agreed.
"Xyla, you should nourish yourself as your body is still weak. I prepared some high-quality birds nests in the kitchen. I'll bring some for you later, so make sure you finish all of it," Wilson told her.
Xyla chuckled. "Okay."
Xyla didn't feel weak at all, but her in-laws had insisted. She wouldn't be able to change their minds even if she argued.
To the Batton family, she was a baby who needed looking after.
Xyla elegantly ate the king crab's leg as she glanced at Sharon. "Mom, can I use my phone for ten minutes after the meal?"
She needed to keep herself informed about topics then so that she wouldn't lose of what was going on ind world.
There was different news every day in the age of the internet.
Sharon laughed. "Sure. Nourish first, and you can have your phone later."
"Okay." Why did Xyla feel like a child, needing to be coaxed to eat?
Nevertheless, she felt like an extremely lucky child right then.
"Oh, right-" Wilson began to say but then stopped himself.
Chapter 2070 Chapter 2070 "All right," Xyla Quest replied.
"Stay home and rest in the afternoon. Don't walk around too much, and don't play with your phone," Stanley Batton reminded.
"Okay," she agreed readily.
"Good girl."
"What are you doing now?" she asked, already missing him although they hadn't been apart for long.
"Nothing in particular. I'm just checking how everyone's doing in each department," he answered.
"Oh. I'm having my lunch now. Your mother's cooking is delicious," she declared.
Stanley chuckled. "Have some more, then. How about our children? Have they been good?"
Apart from his wife and parents, he now had his children to miss.
Xyla broke into a grin when he mentioned their children, her gaze softening. "They've been amazing. They're just as happy and adorable as they were yesterday." "Okay, you should continue with lunch. I'll see you tonight," he told her.
"Okay."
Stanley ended the call wearing a smile on his face.
Seeing how gentle and happy Stanley seemed next to him, Zack Cassidy couldn't help but sigh to himself.
If he was as gentle at work as he was with Xyla even slightly, Zack wouldn't have to be so cautious each day.
Meanwhile, some employees in the departments they had walked past began to gather in groups of three to five for the latest office gossip- "Oh my god! He even remembers to check on his wife and children at work. He's such a great husband!"
"The way he talks to his wife is so endearing. I'd fall for him each time I hear him speak."
"If I ever get the chance, I really would like to interview Xyla and ask her how it feels to have a loving husband like Stanley."
"Before Xyla showed up, I had no idea Mr. Batton had such a tender side to him!"
"Other people's husbands never fail to disappoint!"
Since they were all muttering softly, Stanley couldn't hear anything on the outside.
After briefly checking each department, Stanley and Zack returned to Stanley's office, where he continued to work.
It was peaceful in his office.
However, the employees in each.
department.were still talking 240 excitedly about how soft Stanley sounded as he spoke to his wife on the phone earlier. They also mentioned how they were envious of Xyla.
However, Stanley remained oblivious about all this chatter, unlike Zack who Sonas in several of these , seeing all of it. Goat He agreed with everything they commented, nodding along occasionally as he read the messages.
***
Stanley returned home that evening, his hands full of various food and drinks that his wife would like. He's bought the strawberry milk tea that Xyla enjoyed, as well as various types of her favorite snacks.
After walking through the door, Stanley directly carried everything into the master bedroom.
Xyla, who didn't have access to her phone or the television in her room, was asleep.
The golden dusk light shone into the room through the French whe making the floor seem like it adorned in gold.
The golden hue softened the effects on the darkened room.
Stanley placed the items in his hands on a table before making a slow approach to the bed.
He then gently caressed Xyla's hair.
Sensing that somebody had entered the room, her eyes flew open to meet his tender gaze right away.
Beep, beep, beep- And then, Stanley's phone started ringing.
