Chapter 1452

Author: Moonlight
“Why?” A look of curiosity appeared in Stanley Batton’s eyes.

“Your family has been so nice to me. I feel that it’s only right for the children to take after your family’s surname…” Xyla Quest said seriously.

“To be honest, we don’t care about these things…” Stanley said.

“But I do…” Xyla said.

With that, Xyla looked at Stanley earnestly. “Stanley, will you listen to me? Otherwise, I’m going to ignore you…”

The Batton family had been so nice to her. It’d be unjustifiable for her children not to take after the Batton family’s surname.

Seeing how Xyla had become serious, Stanley helplessly nodded. “Alright… Alright… As you wish…”

Xyla’s facial expression immediately became gentle. “That’s more like it…”

Stanley affectionately ruffled her hair. “Do you feel better now? Is there anything bugging you?”

“I’m fine…” Xyla shook her head.

“That’s great…” Stanley said.

Wilson was wearing a white apron. There were still beads of swe

It was very rare to see him acting so childishly…“In the early stages of pregnancy, the babies can’t understand what you’re saying…“Can you not be so childish?” Xyla asked as she smiled.“Even if they can’t understand, I have to say it… I’ll say it every day…” Stanley said.“Fine… As long as you’re happy,” Xyla said.“If the two of you aren’t obedient, I’ll beat you up. Hmm?“Once you’re old enough, you must protect your mother with me. Understood?” Stanley said each word carefully and solemnly.Xyla gently ruffled Stanley’s hair. Her eyes were full of affection. “You’re making me laugh… Can you actually be this childish?”However, Stanley looked at Xyla with a serious expression. “Am I childish?”“Aren’t you?” Xyla replied.Ding-dong… Ding-dong…Right then, the doorbell started ringing.The sudden sound interrupted Xyla’s thoughts.Xyla immediately pushed Stanley away and stood up.

    “Ahh… Noah Miller, I’ve really been stunned today…”“I just happened to be passing by, and I’m a guy. But I’ve actually fallen in love with him.

    “What is it?” Stanley Batton looked at Xyla Quest curiously yet earnestly.“Noah Miller didn’t seem to like playing League of Legends in the past. In fact, he even once told me that playing computer games isn’t convenient…“I feel that he must have suddenly started playing this because Catherine likes it.“Also, I remember Catherine telling me that Noah would ask her to play with him whenever he was free.“Moreover, he would say he wanted to play as Support each time… Although he dislikes playing Support, he took the initiative to play as Catherine’s Support.“Would you believe it if I told you there wasn’t anything fishy with this?” Xyla continued to analyze.After listening to all this, Stanley narrowed his eyes slightly and thought deeply for a while. “Indeed, that’s the case…” Stanley said.“Hence, I feel that Noah must like Catherine a lot. Moreover, Catherine seems to be a little slow in realizing this…“But it’s fine. As long as Noah genuinely loves her, he’ll make it cl

The combination of warm streetlights and the cold moonglow fell upon his body, making him appear unusually clean yet gentle.When Josh Batton didn’t speak, he was like the most beautiful painting in the world…Josh tapped on the song that Xyla Quest shared. He then put on a pair of Bluetooth earphones from the round-shaped coffee table and began listening intently to the song.Knock, knock, knock—Right then, Josh heard someone knocking on the door.The knocking went on for a while before Josh heard it.He slowly put down his earphones and phone before getting up. He walked over to the peephole and took a glance.The face of a woman Josh didn’t recognize came into view.The woman’s face was chubby, and she didn’t have any makeup on. Through the peephole, Josh could even clearly see the blackheads on the tip of her nose.Josh even saw three thin girls with a lot of makeup on behind her…These people were fans who wanted to pry on him.

Even his hair had a quality of gentleness and nobility…Annabeth felt her heart beating strongly.However, she quickly suppressed her emotions.Josh took the lead, sitting down on the sofa in the living room. Right after that, Annabeth carefully sat next to him and went straight to the point. “Tomorrow morning, you’ll go to Goldfield Plaza at ten o’clock to promote Chanel’s perfume exhibition…“The exhibition lasts for an hour.

    From this position, Josh Batton could see the hotel’s main entrance.Right then, many of his fans had gathered outside the hotel’s main entrance.Although there were many such female fans, none of them disrupted the traffic.At this moment, they silently stood across the road from the hotel’s main entrance.The fans in the first row held a long, red banner with a sentence that read ‘Josh, don’t worry. We’ll always be with you’.The people along the entire street were all his fans.Despite it being an autumn night with cold breezes, many young girls were only wearing dresses. Josh felt cold just by watching them in their dresses.Worried that his fans might get sick, Josh immediately gave Annabeth Cates a call. “Annabeth, buy those fans directly across the hotel a cup of warm milk tea each.

Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?” Leon asked, serious.“Yes, I am…” Hannah answered without missing a beat.“I’ll protect you. From now on, you don’t have to worry about a single thing.” With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannah’s face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surreal…Hannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her.

    Over time, Leon’s feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannah’s mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. That meant this wasn’t a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfounded…This meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasn’t he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless.

    Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond’s head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. “Who are you? Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal?”Leon sneered. “You don’t deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.”Leon’s domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.“Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?” One of the men dressed in black asked.“Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton’s son?!” Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.“How dare you address our president by name?!” Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Stammering, she asked, “Mr. Gray… What is the meaning of this?” “What’s the meaning of this? Ha! Don’t you know what’s good for you? You dumb b*tch… You’re lucky that I set my sights on you!”“How dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!”“Even when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!”“Do you think I’m stupid? That I can’t think? Do you honestly think I’d fall for your lies again and again?” Raymond went, his tone steadily rising into a furious roar.He then got on o

    Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasn’t about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didn’t leave right away.Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.Should she really leave?Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?The man was Raymond Gray… Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain.

    A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. “Ms. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs today…”“He lost his temper and claimed he’d destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another song…” The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there weren’t many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didn’t respect women at all… Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality. One could almost describe him as being a pervert.There was once when an owner of a bar offended a female internet celebrity he was dating. He directly hired

    Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven o’clock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensen’s office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Hannah, you’re here…”“Here’s the contract…” Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed it…Rihanna smiled upon seeing this. “Okay… I’ll transfer the money into your account tonight… I’ve told our big boss about your situation. He’s fine with my decision to pay your salary in advance. In fact, he even told me I did a good job…”“He said you can sing without worrying about a single thing… If you need any help in the future, do let us know…” Rihanna added.Hannah felt glad when she heard this, and became teary-eyed. “Thank you… Please thank our big boss for me too.
