Ch. 2161..2170

Chapter 2161 Chapter 2161 When Annabeth Cates logged into Weibo, she noticed that she and Josh Batton appeared on the list of hot topics again, occupying the number one spot.

'#Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates chased on the streets#' Upon clicking on the topic, there were numerous posts from marketing accounts, showing videos of Josh carrying her as he ran through the shopping mall and streets.

In the videos, a large number of people were following behind them as they sped ahead.

Sounds of people screaming nearly drowned out everything else.

From the videos, it seemed like there were even more people than they'd thought.

It was a disturbing sight as she watched the videos, unable to imagine what could happen if they were really surrounded by those people.

There were many versions of videos taken from different angles, but they only captured their backs and the sides of their faces.

Even so, Josh still looked very handsome in them.

He was like a star that shone brightly even without any editing.

He still looked attractive even though his face was mostly hidden.

His charisma and physique were enough to captivate anyone who watched the video.

The marketing accounts wrote the same captions on each video, explaining when and where Annabeth and Josh showed up and how people chased after them frantically on the streets. Numerous people responded to each video- "Erm, I can't understand this. Why won't people let Josh and Annabeth shop in peace?"

"It looks like Josh brought Annabeth home to visit her parents. Can't you let them exist in peace? Must you all surround them like that?"

"Oh my god! Annabeth is pregnant. What if Josh slips and falls while carrying her? Are you all aware of the consequences? Will any of you be responsible for the loss of their child?"

"As one of Josh's fans, I truly feel sorry for him. He can't even have a moment of peace!"

"Am I the only person paying attention to Josh's thighs? I must say, he has great thighs!"

"As a random netizen, I can sense how Annabeth is even through the screen. Josh is awesome. He's such a strong man!"

"He's truly a role model in the entertainment industry. Nobody can be better than him. I wish I were Annabeth."

Bobby Cates and Peggy Howards instantly stood up to have a better view of her phone from behind when they heard the sounds coming from the video. "What's going on?" they asked simultaneously.

Annabeth regained her composure before showing the footage, invoking gloomy expressions on her parents' faces in an instant.

Meanwhile, Josh continued to eat calmly and didn't seem to mind.

"Oh my god! Are these people crazy?" Bobby exclaimed in horror.

"You both went through this? How did they recognize you? You were already well disguised," Peggy spoke up.

"Yes, I couldn't even recognize Josh myself," her husband said.

Annabeth shrugged nonchalantly. "You two might not be aware of this, but Josh's fans can recognize him by the back of his head."

Bobby and Peggy were speechless, feeling so out of touch at that moment.

How could something like this happen?

nes Annabeth Chuckled. "It's normal that you can't understand. After all, you've never gone after idols before. If someone truly loves their idol, they are capable of something like this." ens.net Peggy nodded to show that she understood. "Yeah, perhaps so. Being a fan isn't easy."

With that, she turned to look at Josh with sorrowful eyes. "Josh, life isn't easy for you at all."

However, he had an indifferent expression on his face. "I don't think it's a big deal. Since I've benefited from my popularity, naturallynet have bear with certain inconveniences that come with it. There's nothing much to say about it He had gotten used to this long ago and had developed an open-minded attitude towards it.

"Yeah, what you said made sense, but we still feel sorry for you," Bobby sighed helplessly.

"There's nothing to feel sorry for.

Look, I might have to sacrifice more than ordinary people for this job, but I also earn a lot more," Josh told them.

Chapter 2162 Chapter 2162 "I still feel bad about it. I don't want you feeling uncomfortable in any way," Bobby Cates said.

He had long thought of Josh Batton as his biological son.

"But then again, I am proud that you have so many fans," he added.

Sometimes, pain and joy needed to coexist.

Josh's smile gradually widened. "Don't feel bad. All right, let's eat, Dad and Mom."

Bobby and Peggy Howards nodded simultaneously, their hands clasped as they returned to their seats to resume their meal.

Meanwhile, Annabeth Cates continued to scroll through the list of Weibo topics, feeling bored as she browsed through other headlines but found nothing else of interest.

***

The next day, Annabeth and Josh took her parents on their planned vacation, spending a few days together before he flew Annabeth back to Atlantis on his helicopter to land at Atlantis International Airport.

Once their helicopter came to a stable halt on a helipad, they held each other's hands and took an elevator to the underground parking lot before driving away.

Keeping a low profile, nobody recognized them this time.

On the road, Josh drove with one hand and held hers with the other, occasionally lowering his head to press a kiss on her fingers.

They seemed very intimate.

They had their face masks removed since they were in the privacy of their car, able to breathe in the fresh air.

He halted at a red light, followed suit by another car that came to a stop beside them.

The girl in the car recognized him and started honking at Josh's car, but he didn't turn around.

His wife had witnessed situations like that numerous times, so she didn't bother looking either.

Seeing that her honking wasn't gaining any attention, the girl ignored the traffic lights to takel net s of them with her phone.net As soon as the lights turned green, Josh stepped on the accelerator and drove away, leaving her behind as she continued taking pictures in her stationary car.

She seemed utterly crazy and jealous as she recalled how intimate her idol had been with his wife in their car.

***

In the blink of an eye, another month had gone by.

Summer began as spring ended, making everything feel much warmer.

On this day, Xyla Quest spent the entire day in meetings at X Entertainment.

Once the meetings were over, she went to each practice room discreetly to enjoy the wonderful sight of some recruits practicing their performances.

While she was gone, Georgie Clementine hired many new trainees for the company, all young and full of vibrant energy.

Halfway through, Xyla's phone started ringing.

She glanced down to see that the call was from Stanley Batton. She answered without hesitation.

Chapter 2163 Chapter 2163 Xyla Quest leaned against the wall, watching an eighteen-year-old young man dancing in the practice room from across while she spoke to Stanley Batton on the phone. "What's up, Honey? Did you miss me?' The teenager was wearing a loose-fitting white t-shirt and a pair of loose black pants. He seemed full of youthful energy.

She could see his face through the mirror, and he looked immaculate and gentle but not weak. He was an attractive young man.

He reminded her of a younger Josh Batton, Xyla thought. With some grooming, he could be the next Josh.

A single look was enough to catch her attention.

He was mesmerizing.

There were plenty of handsome men in the entertainment industry, but none of them could compare to Josh in terms of their looks.

However, this young man managed to do so.

Xyla had a sudden recollection of what Georgie Clementine had previously told her about discovering an eighteen-year-old teenager who had the potential to become the next Josh. Georgie had even shown her some of his information, but Xyla might have been too busy and didn't pay close attention.

Then, she was distracted by other things and forgot about the young man.

She figured that this young man before her was probably the one Georgie had mentioned.

Meanwhile, Stanley was sitting in his black Bugatti Veyron on the other end of the call. He'd stopped his car in front of Goldfield Plaza with people constantly walking past him.

Golden rays of dusklight covered nearly half the sky, and a single ray of warm light seeped into the car.

Even so, it still could not melt away the cold aura around him.

Although many people were walking past him, and he was clearly among the crowd, there seemed to be a wall that separated him from the rest.

It was as if he was born to be superior to the rest.

Lighting a cigarette with his window rolled down halfway, he spoke to his wife over the phone with a lazy look in his eyes.

"Yeah, I miss you," he admittedly you.

bought a few purses f I pick you up after work fonet then de get to check them out, too."

He had a pleasant voice to listen to.

Xyla was a little surprised to hear this. "How many purses have you bought for me lately?"

"I was walking through the mall earlier and saw a few decent ones, so I decided to buy them for you," he replied.

"Please don't buy anymore. We don't have room at home," she told him.

"There will be. I'll leave a room empty specifically for your purses."

Xyla was speechless. She had no idea why her husband was so adamant about buying purses for her.

He'd buy them every three to five days, particularly the latest and most eye-catching ones that were popular on the internet.

"Why have you been buying me purses lately?" she asked in curiosity.

"There's no other reason except I just wanted to," he answered.

"How did you coincidentally buy all the most popular designs?" she asked.

"I saw them on the internet."

"You actually paid attention to these things?" she asked.

"Yeah. A woman was bragging on the internet about how her husband always paid attention to such things. If their husbands are doing it then so must your husband," he replied. en.swhovels.net She had no idea people were bragging about this on the internet, but his reply made her feel joyful.

"I can't have you feeling envious of other people, can I? Whatever other women have, you must have it too," he added.

Her smile widened as she watched the young man dancing in front of her. "Honey, to be honest, I've never felt envious of anyone ever since we got together."

Xyla had everything other people owned. She also had things that other people didn't.

She genuinely didn't feel she needed to be envious of anyone else.

Chapter 2164 Chapter 2164 "Yeah, but it means I've done a good job, so I ought to keep it up," Stanley Batton teased.

"Okay, I guess you can keep doing so." Xyla Quest grinned like an idiot while she spoke, unable to identify a single flaw in her husband.

His lips curled into a smile as well. "Okay. Is there anything you'd like to eat? I can buy it for you before coming over."

"No, there's nothing I want except for that milk tea from the store I frequent. Can you get some for me on the way?" she asked. "Okay, sure."

"All right, I've got to go. There's something I need to sort out over here," she told him.

"Okay."

After that, Stanley hung up the phone.

By then, people outside the car had begun to notice him.

The women couldn't stop staring, all seemingly captivated by him.

It seemed like they wished they could pull him up against their faces.

Every woman in the country seemed to desire a man like Stanley. One could even go as far as to say he was the type to be desired by every woman in the world. Nobody could resist him.

Several people even took their phones out and started recording Tik Tok videos of Stanley.

With his windows rolled down halfway, the lighting effect was favorable at his current location.

Clad in a white shirt and a pair of black pants, his collar was left slightly open with his sleeves casually rolled up. There was an effortless aura about him that eluded to an exclusive setting. He appeared even more noble once they applied filters to videos of him.

People around him couldn't resist discussing among themselves- "Isn't that Stanley Batton? Oh my god, he's so handsome! This is the first time I've seen him in person."

"Is it Stanley? Am I dreaming?"

"Is this a Bugatti Veyron? They are extremely expensive. I heard there are only a few of these in the world. It's not something one can buy with money alone."

"I can imagine how happy Xyla must be. Honestly, he's so handsome, he's inhuman! He's practically an angel."

"He's right here in front of me, but why do I feel as if he's still so far away? I don't even dare to get close."

"Stop talking, sisters. I'm already fantasizing about how he'd fall for me in a novel. I'm going mad!"

The women kept muttering around him.

Feeling a little annoyed, Stanley vel.net rolled up his window and drove eaving them behind to away, resume their comments long after he was gone.

They were still looking in the direction where he had driven away.

To them, he was like a heavenly being that they could never get close enough.

On the other side, Xyla ended the call and entered the practice room, where the young man was focusing on his dancing.

He didn't stop even when he saw her walking in, and she didn't interrupte him, ther. Instead, she silently sat on a bench nearby to observe him.

Once the song ended, he stopped dancing and approached her respectfully. "How can I help you, Miss Quest?"

His voice sounded pure, and he seemed like a soft-spoken person.

The look in his eyes conveyed the same quality.

His eyes seemed able to look into one's heart.

Even in silence, he emitted a positive aura, something that was similar to Josh Batton.

Chapter 2165 Chapter 2165 Xyla Quest could envision a huge potential in the young man to become the next big thing.

Smiling, she gently patted the seat next to her. "Have a seat."

He sat down obediently, seeming stiff at first. After a moment of hesitation, he placed his hands on his thighs, looking like a wide-eyed deer lost in the woods.

"Don't be nervous. We're only having a chat," she said softly.

"Okay," he nodded respectfully. "What would you like to chat about?"

Then, he looked terrified all of a sudden. "Are you kicking me out of the company? Am I not doing good enough?"

Xyla immediately chuckled and shook her head. "No, you're great. I just want to talk to you as a friend."

He instantly sighed in relief.

"Are you afraid the company might not want you?" she wondered.

"Yeah. The terms offered by this company are the best in the industry, and I like being here a lot," he answered.

"Don't worry, we are not making you leave. What's your name?"

"My name is Lukas Ronaldo," he said after sighing in relief again.

Xyla nodded, thinking that his name suited him well. "You have a nice name, Lukas. Stay in the company, heed Georgie's advice, and you'll get the opportunities you're looking for in the future." Lukas seemed pleasantly surprised. "Really?"

"Yes," she nodded. "The pre-requisite is that you mustn't cause any trouble. Make sure you protect yourself. If you want to remain in the entertainment industry for a long time, you must be able to withstand loneliness and being alone. Most importantly, take care of your reputation to avoid negative media.

"Otherwise, once you are famous, anything bad you've done in the past can turn against you. It'll be lethal, understand?" Xyla said with a serious expression.

These days, there were too many celebrities whose careers were destroyed by negative media after they found fame.

Some people did too many bad things before joining the industry. Their career never took off as a result of their past.

She hoped this young talent wasn't someone like that.

She had to groom him well.

Lukas nodded obediently. "Don't worry, I won't do anything like that. I'll protect myself and remain a good person." "Okay, that's great to hear. Keep it up. You have a bright future ahead of you."

"Do I have a bright future?" he asked, sounding unconvinced.

"Yes, I have high hopes for you," she said, smiling. "I will focus on helping you grow. Don't let me down, okay?" Lukas was surprised to hear this. "Okay, I won't."

Xyla had a vague recollection of Georgie Clementine telling her about this young talent with a good background who was a university student.

He was studying medicine at Atlantis University.

He was indeed the intelligent type.

Lukas was a rare talent in the entertainment industry, regardless of his educational background or physical appearance.

She sincerely hoped he wouldn't forget why he chose this path. She wanted him to stay determined and achieve fame and success the right way.

She didn't want him to make poor choices and ruined his future.

With a broad smile, Xyla patted him affectionately on his shoulder. "All right, get back to work. I'll wander around somewhere else." With that, she stood up and prepared to leave.

Lukas followed suit and stood up with a determined look in his right, goodbye, Ms. Quest.

I'll do my best. I won't let down."

She smiled in approval and made a hasty exit without commenting further.

Lukas released a long sigh as he watched her leave, sinking to the ground in excitement, and gazed at his reflection in the mirror.

His boss was going to focus on helping him develop his career!

She was going to focus on him!

He was the focus!

Did that mean his dream would soon come true?

As he thought of this, Lukas promptly stood up to resume practicing his dance moves as hard as he could.

Chapter 2165

Chapter 2166 Chapter 2166 There was no other way unless Lukas Ronaldo worked harder if he wanted to live up to Xyla Quest's expectations.

He would hate to disappoint her.

He wanted to become the best version of himself and be ready for the best opportunities.

He also decided to be even more cautious and remain a good person.

His goal was to become an exemplary celebrity like Josh Batton, so to do that, he had to cherish the opportunity and launch his career the proper way.

***

Xyla returned to her office after checking on the other trainees. By then, it was already completely dark outside.

Lights of green and red dotted the entire city. From afar, the city seemed to have come alive.

There were still many cars on the road despite it being at night.

Xyla walked over to the French windows, feeling at ease as she gazed down.

After an entire day's work, she no longer felt tense and could finally relax.

Right then, someone knocked on the door, prompting her to whirl around, smiling as she looked toward her door.

"Come in," she called out, knowing that her husband had arrived.

The door opened to reveal Stanley Batton, entering with two bags. One contained two cups of her favorite strawberry-flavored milk tea, while the other was full of snacks.

Hurrying forward, Xyla reached for the two cups of milk tea. Then, she held his arm with one hand and leaned against him. "I only asked for some milk tea, so what's with the bag of snacks?"

"I wanted to bring you some snacks so you could eat them in the office," he answered affectionately. "I figured you were probably running out of them."

"Thank you, Honey," she sighed in contentment.

"Don't mention it, silly girl."

Xyla hugged him in appreciation before walking over to sit at her desk while he took a seat on her office chair.

His outfit was spotless, without a single wrinkle on his shirt or pants.

Xyla gave him a cup of milk tea as she lily sipped the other one, feeling satisfied after having one net taşte.

"How long did you have to wait in line today?" she wondered.

"About an hour," he replied.

"That's way too long."

Customers had to buy from the store directly particular DsCtly as they were very first Vol.net y services.

in that they didn't Previously, Xyla would either go in person or ask someone to go on her behalf when she wanted some.

Ever since Stanley came into her life, he'd bu Decome the one to line up a favorite drink from here and favorite store.

Coming to think about it, it was rather unusual for a man as busy as her husband to do that for her. "Don't you get annoyed every time you have to line up for so long to buy this for me?" she asked. For people like Stanley and herself, time was money.

Waiting in line for an hour meant he had to lose a lot of money.

"What do you think?" he replied, chuckling.

Chapter 2167 Chapter 2167 Xyla Quest laughed. "Don't you?"

Stanley Batton gently pinched her cheek. "Why would you ask that? I'm your husband. Why would I be impatient when I do something for you?"

Smiling as her heart fluttered in her chest, she sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. "That's good. I was afraid you might get annoyed someday." Xyla knew what it felt like to wait in line and always hated it.

"I won't. Although I'm usually an impatient person, I'm willing to wait if it's for you," he said.

She beamed upon hearing this. "You're so good to me."

"That's why you should appreciate me," he said.

"You're acting like a woman," she said, rolling her eyes.

"Am I?"

"Yes, you are," she replied, taking another sip of her milk tea. She could taste the slight sweetness in her mouth.

Even the air seemed sweet at that moment.

"I wonder how the kids are doing at home. Let's go home and check on them soon," she added.

She missed her children as soon as she brought them up.

Apart from her husband, her babies were the ones she missed the most.

Their highs and lows of emotions could affect her easily.

"Okay, sure," he agreed, beginning to miss them when she mentioned Lynette and Leon Batton.

He felt an urge to return home to vel.net check on them several times throughout the working day. However, he couldn't step away from his busy schedule.

"I've thought about them throughout the day while I was working. I wanted to go home and see the ne but couldn't," she admitted, echoing his thoughts.

"Me too."

"After having children of my own, I can understand my parents' love better," she said.

For the same reason, Xyla missed her father even more, now realizing how great her father's love was for her. "Yeah," Stanley murmured.

"Both my parents are no longer around, so from now on, we should treat your parents better," she said.

Nobody could love someone more than their own parents. Anyone else might abandon them but not their parents. Stanley nodded. "Yes, I agree."

After finishing their milk tea, they held each other's hands and walked out of the office.

By then, most of the employees had already left, so the entire office was quiet.

After getting into the car, they drove home.

They could hear Lynette and Leon laughing loudly as soon as they entered the house, melting their hearts.

Unable to wait before seeing their children, they hurriedly changed out of their shoes and walked into the living room.

Then, they saw Lynette and Leon lying on playmats, kicking with their feet while Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, and the nannies surrounded them in a circle.

The adults were all holding toys to entertain the children and to get their attention.

Chapter 2168 Chapter 2168 Some of them had plush dolls in their hands, while others held tiny bells as they entertained the happy children, making them laugh continuously. That sound of laughter was the purest thing in the world.

Listening to their laughter filled Xyla Quest with so much joy she wanted to pick them up and kiss them, but she refrained.

She then pulled Stanley Batton along to the bathroom to wash their hands before approaching their children slowly. Xyla reached for Lynette Batton while he carried Leon Batton.

Their children were growing well, appearing to be much taller and chubbier than before. Even their skin seemed fairer.

Their facial features appeared more distinct now, with both twins having similar large pupils that seemed to glisten.

"Has Lynette been a good girl today? Hmm? Did you miss Mommy?" Xyla chuckled and asked as she kissed her cheek tenderly.

"Hehe. Huh, ahh," Lynette gurgled, smiling at her mother.

Although Xyla couldn't understand what her little girl was attempting to communicate, she'd sensed that Lynette was very happy, and this melted her heart.

"Did you miss Mommy a lot? What about Daddy?" she asked with a smile.

"Ahh, eh," Lynette began mumbling again, looking adorable with her tiny glowing lips.

She reached for Xyla's collar with her tiny hands, rubbing her face repeatedly against her shirt like a little kitten.

Xyla could sense how much her daughter missed her despite her inability to communicate anything yet.

Perhaps it was a special connection between mothers and daughters.

Xyla hugged her even tighter and gently kissed her on the cheek, prompting the child to laugh out loud as she enjoyed her mother's kisses. The smile on her face seemed so pure.

Xyla was advised not to kiss her children too much, but she couldn't hold back.

Meanwhile, Stanley carefully held his son nearby, gently shaking his tiny plump hand. "What about you? Did you miss Daddy and M hmm?" FindNovel.net "Hmm. Ahh, eh," Leon began mumbling. His father couldn't understand him either, but he reacted the same way Xyla did. Grinning broadly, the look in his eyes became much softer. "Hmm, you missed us a lot, didn't you? Were you happy today?"

Leon didn't respond except to stare at him with his big round eyes, his lips widening into a smile.

Stanley seemed even more temperate in front of his children, looking like an affectionate father.

He certainly didn't seem like his usual indifferent self he appeared to be in public.

Right then, he looked identical to other ordinary fathers.

Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton sat beside them, with Sharon gently holding onto Lynette's hand while the latter held onto Leon's hand. Both grandparents wore affectionate looks in their eyes.

Sharon began speaking first. "The kids have been quite happy today They ate and drank well without making a fuss. They were both obedient and didn't even cry." en.swhovels.net She couldn't stop gazing at her grandchildren, wanting to spend the rest of her life with them.

"Exactly. They are the most obedient and adorable kids I've ever seen," Wilson smiled, feeling so much fondness for these children.

The twins beamed when they heard what they said.

Chapter 2169 Chapter 2169 A sense of joy and peace filled the entire living room. Even the air tasted somewhat sweet.

Xyla Quest was enthralled by the warmth and serenity within the family. She hoped things could stay like this forever. Stanley Batton, who was still playing with Leon Batton nearby, gently shook his tiny hand and pinched his cheek. Meanwhile, Leon never stopped smiling and seemed comfortable with his father's shenanigans.

His eyes seemed to be conveying many emotions as if he could understand a lot more in the world than people imagined. Stanley felt his chest tightening with contentment to see his son like that. "They look like angels," he expressed in wonder.

Xyla nodded in agreement.

The two children were indeed like angels.

Since they were born, the Batton family experienced nothing but joy and laughter.

Xyla and Stanley had a happy marriage and were fine on their own, but she would frequently feel something was missing at home.

She no longer felt that way once the twins were born. It was as if she had the entire world in her house, where everything felt vibrant.

For a large house, it no longer felt empty.

Wilson Batton nodded. "Isn't that so? It feels as if God had sent them to fill us with joy. Ever since they came along, my mood has improved each day." Sharon Lindt nodded in agreement. "I feel the same way. Oh my god, I adore these children so much. What should I do?"

Xyla smiled, gazing gently at her. "Stay by their side and watch them grow."

Sharon started smiling, too. "Of course."

Then, she eagerly nabbed Lynette from her mother's arms. "Xyla, you must be tired after a long day at work. Let me carry her."

Xyla knew she wasn't really concerned about her tiredness but more like she simply wanted to hold Lynette.

Following his wife's action, Wilson also snatched Leon from his son. "That's right! You must be tired from work, so let me hold him."

With a helpless expression, Stanley could immediately tell what was on their minds.

"You and Mom have spent all day with my kids," he grumbled, pressing against the playmats. "Isn't that enough? We barely have time to be around them, and you're still taking them away from us."

"That's not true," Sharon said defensively after hearing what he said. "We're only worried you might be too tired. We didn't want you to hold the children for too long."

"That's enough. You don't think we know what's on your mind?" he asked.

"You shouldn't point things out like that about your parents. Don't you get it?" Sharon asked.

Stanley raised his brows helplessly. "Hmm, no, I don't."

"I honestly feel like I can't enjoy myself anymore," his mother sulked.

He firmly took hold of Leon away from Wilson, gazing at him. "You're the one who needs rest."

His father seemed disappointed that he could only carry Leon for a few seconds. "I'm fine without any rest, honestly."

"No," Stanley insisted, wanting to hold his own child without interruptions.

Wilson was unable to retort.

Meanwhile, Xyla also gently took Lynette from Sharon, pressing a soft kiss on her tiny cherubic cheek. "Dad, Mom, you two should get some rest. You've beeg.net"

them all day. That's even more tiring."

She didn't exactly want to snatch the children away, but she genuinely felt that they needed the rest.

Chapter 2170 Chapter 2170 Sharon Lindt pinched her forehead in disappointment, releasing a long sigh. "Fine, I'll start cooking and make your favorite dishes." Sharon had always been the one who did the cooking, mostly because she believed that Xyla Quest preferred her cooking.

"You've been working all day. Shouldn't you rest for a while?" Xyla seemed concerned.

"It's fine. Why would I be tired?" she replied.

"Do you need any help?" Xyla asked.

"You two should wait here. Wilson will help me," she told them before pulling her husband away.

Once they had left, the nannies followed suit to the kitchen to help out, leaving Xyla, Stanley Batton, Lynette Batton, and Leon Batton the only ones who remained in the living room.

The family of four sat quietly together, making the ambiance seem even more heartwarming and peaceful.

Lynette gently grabbed Xyla's fingertips with her plump and fair hands, looking adorable as she opened and closed them.

Stanley's eyes rested on his wife. "Let's exchange. Let me hold Lynette for a while."

She agreed, carefully maneuvering so that she ended up holding Leon in her arms.

He smiled widely at her, prompting a smile in return.

"I wonder what made them so happy today," Stanley said.

"I have no idea."

"It feels like they've grown wiser," he exclaimed in amazement. "They're truly adorable."

"Of course, I'm their mother," she said with a smug look.

He smiled affectionately and leaned to kiss his wife on the forehead, gazing lovingly at her. "Yeah, that's true. With you as the mother of my children, they're bound to look adorable." "It's mainly because your wife is adorable," she joked.

"That's true, as well."

"When the kids are older, let's bring the one your parents for vacation. I haven't traveled inl.net while," Xyla suggested.

belongs to FindNoveltent "Sure, as you wish," he replied.

"Let's go somewhere with a beach that's clean and warm," she said.

"Okay, anything you want," he nodded.

"I think we can do that once the kids turn one. What do you think?" she asked.

"Absolutely. Your wish is my command."

Although her husband was basically repeating himself, it was his unconditional love that touched her the most.

Leaning against him, she gently caressed Leon's cheek. "Aren't you going to offer your opinion? You're g me decide on everet "My opinion isn't important. I only want you to be happy," he declared.

Xyla's smile gradually widened. "Your opinion is important, too."

"It isn't. Your decision is final."

Right then, their phones started ringing simultaneously.

They both ignored the calls and continued to hold each other and their children as they spoke.

"Oh, right, I noticed a very talented trainee at the office today. He might become the next Josh if I spend time grooming him, and if he makes sure not to have any negative media," Xyla said. "You have no idea how handsome that kid is."

She seemed very enthusiastic as she talked about Lukas Ronaldo.
