Ch. 2311..2320
Chapter 2311 Chapter 2311 Rachel Wood was sound asleep in their bedroom upstairs.
The room was dark and quiet, with only a faint glow of light from outside.
Sebastian Brenand could smell her Dior perfume, its scent sweet and lovely.
He was exhausted after spending all day in the office, but he instantly felt better at the sight of his adorable wife in bed.
He approached her in the dark to avoid waking her up, gazing at her face with what little light he had.
She didn't make any sound in her sleep.
It was a peaceful sight for Sebastian.
He reached out to caress her face gently before standing up and then turning to leave.
He wanted to start preparing dinner for her, so he headed to the kitchen. His phone started ringing before he could get to work.
The caller had an unknown number.
Recently, his mother was trying to contact him with various unknown numbers.
It had happened so many times now that he felt annoyed whenever he saw such numbers.
He pressed the button to cancel the call, setting his phone to silent mode. Then, he began cooking Rachel's favorite dishes for dinner.
Sebastian seemed to know his way around the kitchen, looking like a model house husband while he was at it.
After everything he had been through, he had become a significantly more grounded individual.
He no longer resembled his old self, who craved excitement and freedom.
He seemed more reliable now.
He began to cook upon finishing all the preparation work of washing and cutting up the ingredients.
Soon, the aroma of a delicious home-cooked meal filled the kitchen.
Sebastian's facial expression seemed unusually peaceful amidst the smoke.
Meanwhile, a well-rested Rachel slowly opened her beautiful eyes in the bedroom.
She then turned the lights on to check the time.
She peered around the room when she saw that it was already light, finding no sign of Sebastian.
She Ckly grabbed her phone a the window, seeing in front of the belongs to en.swnovese He was home.
Actually, she would bet anything he was cooking right then.
With that thought in mind, she stretched before quickly entering the bathroom to freshen up.
She then slowly walked out of the bedroom.
Earlier, she had fallen asleep without realizing it.
All the exhaustion and aches in her body disappeared after a long nap, making her feel relaxed.
She even seemed to be in high spirits.
Rachel arrived downstairs with light footsteps, her nose picking up the fragrant food coming from the kitchen.

She saw Sebastian stir-frying asparagus in front of the stove upon entering the kitchen.
He used one hand to skillfully taste sunet the food with a spoon while his. other hand continued to stir-fry rapidly. FindNovel.net Flames would occasionally rise onto the pan, but he seemed perfectly composed.
Even now, Rachel would feel like she was dreaming when she saw Sebastian being so domesticated.
She knew what he was like in the past.

Chapter 2312
Rachel Wood never thought Sebastian Brenand would one day resemble a stay-at-home husband in the past.
That was a phrase that would never be used to describe him back then.
He was never the type to do laundry or other household chores, let alone cook.
She stood by the door and silently observed him for a very long time before walking up to embrace him tightly from behind.
The simple hug instantly made both their hearts melt.
"Honey, you're cooking," she said.
"Yes, I'm cooking your favorite asparagus dish," he answered as he looked back over his shoulder at her. "I've already cooked stir-fried shrimps, steamed fish, and a beef stew. I'll make a cucumber salad and oysters with garlic sauce later.
"I've also boiled your favorite herbal chicken soup and soaked some bird's nests that I'll prepare for you before bed. It's good for you and the baby," he told her.
At that moment, Sebastian did look like a model house-husband.
Her heart warmed at the thought.
"Thank you, Honey."
He chuckled. "You should thank me by eating more, all right?"
Rachel nodded.
A nanny walked in at that moment, blushing when she saw the couple being so intimate together.
She seemed at a loss, unsure whether to continue walking forward or back away.
Sebastian had called ahead to inform her he would be cooking personally tonight.
Furthermore, Rachel had gone to bed early, so the nanny had retired to her own room.
She didn't realize she had slept for so long.
She intended to ask if Sebastian needed help in the kitchen at first but ended up walking into their private moment.

She let out a chuckle, still wearing an uncomfortable expression on her face. "Yes, yes. Do you need my help?"
Rachel turned red right then and hastily let go of him.
She didn't expect the nanny to walk in on them like that, leaving her feeling awkward, too.
Sebastian was the only person in the room who remained unperturbed, acting as if nothing happened.
"No, we're fine. You can rest. Leave everything to me," he assured the nanny, who nodded before making an awkward turn to back out of the kitchen. FindNovel.net

Recalling what she saw earlier, she felt very envious of Rachel.
All women dreamed of having a perfect husband and a good life.
How could she not be envious?
She figured she would never be able to have this kind of life.
She only hoped that her daughter could learn from Rachel when she looked for a man to marry in the future.
She would be happy enough if that man was one-tenth as good as Sebastian.
Sebastian quickly placed his wife's hands on his waist again once the coast was clear.
Then, he tossed the cooked

She felt herself blushing again at his words. "Let's be more careful. After all, there are outsiders in the house."
"It's fine, they'll get used to it soon," he said.
"But I'm not used to it."
“That's fine because you'll get used to it, too,” he teased with a grin.
"I'm going to ignore you and wait for dinner in the dining room,” she retorted with a head shake.
"Okay, but give me a kiss."
Chapter 2313 Chapter 2313 Sebastian Brenand leaned forward and placed his hands on his thighs as he gazed at Rachel Wood.
He was waiting for her to kiss him, but she started to blush.
She punched his shoulder gently. "You're annoying. Dr. Harris already said this is a unique phase. We should avoid having intimate interactions and doing anything too intense."
Sebastian had a playful look in his eyes when he heard this. "In that case, tell me. Are you worried you might lose control or that I will?"
Rachel's face turned even redder then.
She frowned slightly. "Of course, it's you."
"What? Why do I feel that you've always been the one to lose control not too long ago?" he asked incredulously.
Rachel was at a loss for words.
She gently punched his shoulder again. "You're so annoying. I'm going to ignore you. Get away from me."
With that, she pushed him away and proceeded to leave the kitchen.
He suddenly pulled her into his arms before she could react, pressing his lips against hers.
She felt her heart pounding the moment their lips touched.
Their kiss went on for a while until he reluctantly let her go, giving her a funny look.
"All right, you can rest now. I'm satisfied."
Embarrassed, she rolled her eyes at him before turning around and left.
Rachel looked like a young teenager right then.
He chuckled as he continued cooking the next dish.
Once he had cooked all the dishes, he filled two bowls with rice before walking into the dining room, placing one in front of Rachel and the other in front of himself.
She saw the hot, steaming rice and her favorite dishes on the table, feeling hungry all of a sudden.
Sebastian's braised rice was her favorite. Somehow, he cooked this better than others.
"Thank you, Honey. It must've been a lot of work," she said while smiling at him.
"Make sure you eat more since you know it's a lot of work, okay?"
She nodded and then began eating large mouthfuls of braised rice.
Her appetite was unusually good today.
All her pregnancy symptoms seemed to have miraculously disappeared.
Now, she felt like she could practically eat a horse.
Seeing how much his wife enjoyed his cooking made him feel deeply satisfied.
He began scooping food onto her plate.

Chapter 2314
Rachel Wood looked perfect to Sebastian Brenand.
She was the most beautiful woman to him.
She gazed at Sebastian helplessly, feeling embarrassed by his compliments. "Can you stop? Do you want me to die of embarrassment? I'm hardly the most beautiful person."
"In my eyes, you're more beautiful than anyone else," he told her.
"Must you exaggerate?" she sighed in exasperation.
"I'm only speaking the truth."
Rachel didn't bother replying and continued to enjoy the delicious food.
With good food and the person she loved by her side, she was already the luckiest girl in the world.
Once she had eaten enough, she stood up slowly and looked at her husband. "Why don't you let me do the dishes? I've been doing nothing at home every day. I'm so bored."
Sebastian immediately walked over and picked her up into his arms. "No way!"
"What are you doing? Put me down, Sebastian. I can walk on my own," she protested.
"Nope, I want to take you upstairs to rest," he said.
"You really don't have to do this," she muttered, but he ignored her and carried her out of the dining room.
The two were so intimate that there was nothing but love in the air.
After returning to their bedroom, Sebastian carefully lowered her on the bed and pulled the duvet over her.
"You should lie down and rest for a while after dinner. I'll go downstairs to do the dishes," he said.
At that moment, she felt as if she was being taken care of like a piglet.
"Sebastian, are you looking after a pig?"
"No, I'm looking after you," he answered before directly leaving the bedroom. After he left, Rachel picked up her phone and began scrolling through Weibo. The hot topics on Weibo were all related to people she knew very well.
Apart from Georgie Clementine, Josh Batton, Xyla Quest, and Stanley Batton were all featured there with only good news about each of them in their respective businesses.
She didn't click on any of those links but chose to read on current news.

Her phone rang as she walked onto the balcony, an unknown number appearing on the screen.
Rachel glanced at it before quickly answering the call. "Hello? Who is this?"
"Is this Rachel?" It was Sebastian's mother's voice.
No matter how much time had passed, she could still instantly recognize this voice.
It was the voice of the woman who once dragged her into hell.

Chapter 2315
"Not much. I just want you to get Sebastian to pick up his phone," Sebastian Brenand's mother said.
Rachel Wood honestly couldn't be bothered to say another word to her.
Feeling physically disgusted, she frowned and walked downstairs with her phone, handing it over to Sebastian before returning upstairs without a word. He recognized the phone number. "Why did you call Rachel?"
"You wouldn't pick up. I had no choice but to call her instead," his mother replied.
"Didn't Rachel give you a piece of her mind?" he said, sneering.
"No, she didn't even say anything to me. She was rather rude," she scoffed with a look of contempt as she spoke about her daughter-in-law. Fury overcame Sebastian at her words.
"Can you still recall what you did to her? Ignoring you is the kindest thing she could do to you. Have you no shame?" he snickered with disgust.
"Also, I don't care what you're trying to do. All I want to tell you is to stop contacting us. We are no longer related," he spat out before hanging up.
He then blocked the number and walked up the stairs with the phone.
Meanwhile, memories of what Rachel experienced when she had been sold to the small, mountainous village began to plague her after hearing her mother-in-law's voice. The scenes were like a stake through her heart.
She felt physical pain.
Unable to bear it, she curled up into a ball in an attempt to comfort herself.
She could see nothing but all the filthy scenes when she closed her eyes.
Sebastian caught this when he entered the bedroom.
His heart instantly ached. He then slowly approached Rachel and gently rubbed her back. "Did she say something to you?"
His eyes filled with hatred as he spoke.
She shook her head. "No, I just remembered some past events."
His heart broke for her all over again.
He understood why she reacted that way.
He tenderly pulled her into his arms and gently caressed her hair. "Stop thinking about those things, okay? I'm sorry that woman reminded you of those unhappy thoughts again," he whispered.
He wished he didn't have a mother like that woman, then Rachel would never have been hurt like that.
However, she shook her head vehemently. "It isn't your fault. Honestly, the problem is me. I can't forget those things."
"It's not your fault," he insisted.

Sometimes, he felt sorry for how tough Rachel was.
That very thought made him call his mother directly.
Before she could say anything, he began yelling. "I'm warning you. If you ever disturb Rachel again, I will disappear from this world
completely. But before I do, I will make sure you and my father die with me. We'll all die together."
His eyes were cold and hard as he yelled.

Meanwhile, Xyla Quest was in the study, opening a parcel she had received today.
There was a white letter in the parcel.
Xyla was shocked when she saw the letter sent by Sophie Kenwick.
She hastily opened it.
Chapter 2316
Chapter 2316
Xyla Quest was stunned as soon as she read its contents.
"Dear Xyla, by the time you read this letter, I'd be long gone from your world.
"I suppose I would've died after getting rid of the nine-tailed demon fox that tried to harm you all this while.
"Honestly, I was lying when I told you I wasn't feeling well. I left because I wanted to find and kill the demon fox. I intended to get rid of the threat for you and my brother.
"Unfortunately, I acquired the opportunity to get rid of the demon fox in exchange for never being able to reincarnate.
"I hope you and my brother will always be happy. Forget about me."
Xyla was bawling her eyes out by the end of the letter. It explained why her days had been so peaceful lately.
Sophie Kenwick had solved all her problems.
The greatest threat to Xyla and Stanley Batton's lives was finally gone because of Sophie.
Yet, she couldn't bring herself to feel happy at all.
She wanted to know who Sophie made this deal with and why she had made such a foolish decision.
But now that Sophie's dead, she would never get her questions answered.
That young girl would never be able to reincarnate. It was too great a price to pay.
From now on, she was gone from the world for good.
At that moment, Xyla couldn't help but recall the first time she met her and all those memories they had made together since then.
Those heartwarming and exciting moments all felt like a stake through her heart then.
"You idiot!" Xyla murmured through tears that made her vision blurry, soaking through Sophie's letter.
She was such a wonderful, pure, and
lively girl. She would have enjoyed a perfect life if she had stayed alive, but she gave it up to ensure Xyla and her family were safe.
What a foolish girl, she thought to herself. She wished she could go back in time so that she didn't fall for Sophie's lie so easily.
She would have done everything she could to keep her by her side so that she wouldn't do anything stupid.
The more Xyla thought about it, the more she cried.
Right then, Yaksha appeared next to her, making her heart skip a beat at his sudden presence.
She glanced over at him. "Yaksha, why did you suddenly show up at my place?" she asked him instantly.
"You've received the letter," he stated, his tone suggesting he wasn't surprised and probably knew something about this.
"Yeah," she nodded. "Did you know what happened to Sophie?"
Yaksha nodded. "Yes, I found out from one of the Gods of Medicine that I know.

"Then,

added before letting out a long sigh.
"She downplayed that whole inability to reincarnate thing in the letter, but the truth is that wasn't the only thing."
Yaksha couldn't help but sigh again.
"What?"
Xyla felt her heart aching again.
Chapter 2317
Chapter 2317
"There was one other condition," Yaksha said. "She has to go to the lowest level in hell and suffer the worst types of torture for 999 days. It was the only way she could pay off the debt you and Stanley owe in your past lives." Xyla Quest felt her heart weighing heavily upon hearing his explanation.
She could barely breathe.
She didn't dare imagine how Sophie Kenwick would bear the 999 days of torture.
She was such a vulnerable little girl. How could she handle it?
"Apart from being cut and burned, there are more terrifying forms of torture in hell," he added in a troubled tone.
"Yaksha, I don't agree with this. Can I take back what Sophie said in her place?" Xyla asked, feeling devastated.
"You can't, not when she had already decided," he said, shaking his head. "Did you know that your sister, Emily, was under that nine-tailed demon fox's control? Your stepmother, May, as well." Xyla wasn't surprised by that. She had suspected they were controlled by that entity a while ago.
"What did Stanley and I do to it in our past lives?" Xyla asked.
"You were originally his wife back then. He sacrificed a lot for you and loved you deeply, but you betrayed him and fell in love with Stanley, who was human.
"Not long after that, you eloped with Stanley. He was enraged, so he started hunting him down. You two worked together to ruin his cultivation to stay alive," Yaksha explained.
She couldn't help but feel shocked by that revelation, unable to believe she'd do such things in her past life.
"Also, all memories of Sophie and the nine-tailed demon fox will be erased," he added.
Xyla's pupils dilated. "Why?"
"It was one of her requests because forgetting she ever existed will put everyone out of their misery. She doesn't want anyone to live with guilt," he replied.
Her heart ached when she heard his words.
Sophie was even kinder than an angel.
Not only had she sacrificed everything for them, but she also chose to be erased from their memories to ease their guilt.
"No, I don't want that to happen!" she insisted instantly. "That would make her sacrifices be for nothing when nobody would even remember after she's gone. Isn't that very pitiful?"
She had a look of resistance in her eyes.
"There's no point resisting. All your memories of Sophie will be

Panic rose in her chest at the thought, but she didn't know what to do.
She didn't want this to happen.
One minute later, Yaksha disappeared along with all her memories related to the nine-tailed demon fox.
Her memories started to alter in various instances.
Her father died naturally from an ailment instead of being poisoned by the nine-tailed demon fox.
The entity never existed in her or Stanley's world.
Xyla turned her laptop on and began playing League of Legends as if nothing had happened. Alex invited her to join his team in the game, which she accepted.

and Alex.
Everyone quickly greeted Xyla when they saw her-
"Hey, Boss."
"Hey, Boss!"
"Boss, you haven't had a meal with us for a long time."
Other than Alex, everyone else began conversing with her.
She smiled when she saw this. "Okay, I'll feast with you guys tomorrow." "Really? That's a promise!"
Chapter 2318 Chapter 2318 "Thank you, Boss."
"Boss, I would like to suggest hot pot."
Apart from Alex, everyone else was talking.
"Okay," Xyla Quest replied.
"Can you guys think of anything else apart from eating?" Alex finally spoke up then.
"No. Do you have a problem with that?"
"We want to do other things, but do you think we have time for them?"
"Exactly!"
The others replied one after another.
Xyla Quest texted her reply. "All right, hot pot is fine. I'll take you guys skiing after that to relax. How about that?"
Everyone reacted positively to her suggestion.
She smiled before selecting Vayne as her champion as she wanted to use ADC.
Meanwhile, Stanley Batton was on his large, white bed in the bedroom, sorting out some work tasks on his laptop.
He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head that lasted briefly before his vision turned dark.
Taking a deep breath, he gently rubbed his head. He figured he was probably exhausted from work.
Soon, all the memories related to Sophie Kenwick, the nine-tailed demon fox, and the death of Jeremy Quest disappeared without him realizing he had lost parts of his memory. To him, Sophie and the nine-tailed demon fox never existed.
His headache worsened, prompting him to close his laptop to lie down.
At the same time, Sharon Lindt also experienced memory loss but hadn't realized it had happened.
Time went by rapidly.
Leon Batton and Lynette Batton had turned one year old in the blink of an eye.

"With their two adorable children, they look even more attractive."
"Xyla, your jewelry is one-of-a-kind, right? It looks amazing on you."
From a distance, Sharon could see Stanley's family of four surrounded and admired by their guests.
She wore a pleased expression as she gently gave Wilson a nudge.
"Look at our son and daughter-in-law. And our grandchildren, too. They do make us prouid."
Chapter 2320 Chapter 2320 "Everyone's attention is on them, showering them with compliments," Sharon Lindt added, feeling her mood improving as she looked over to the family of four.

"Exactly! I can't see a single trace of you being anxious about the kids at all."
"Sharon, you're amazing for looking after all three kids so well. I couldn't possibly do that if I were you."
"Yeah, I couldn't do it, either."
The housewives spoke in turn.
Sharon released a chuckle upon hearing what they said. "They're all my grandchildren, so how could I not look after them? Besides, I would only keep worrying unless I work with the nannies to look after my son and daughter-in-law. That's what makes me happy."
"You are wonderful to your son and daughter-in-law."

The women continued to speak with smiley expressions.
Sharon grinned broadly. "I treat Xyla like my daughter. After all, she has already become part of the family.
