โOr maybe, heโs just trying to use this method to tell me that he isnโt interested in me, and just wants me to wait obediently for the divorce.โ Xyla shrugged and turned to look at the pine tree in the snow-covered yard. โForget him, this is nice too. I just have to wait quietly for three years and then get a divorce.โ โActually, werenโt you already healed by then? Even if you choose to break the contract in advance, your master canโt do anything to you. So, why didnโt you?โ asked Stanley, staring intently into her eyes, curiosity filling his gaze. โHumans are supposed to keep their promises, arenโt they? Master is my benefactor, I canโt be so heartless. To me, my master is like a second parent.โAt the mention of her master, Xylaโs gaze became much softer and her voice more mellow. She voiced out her innermost thoughts without reserve, โIn fact, when I first agreed to my masterโs condition, I thought that maybe I could try living a proper life with him. After all, Iโm indebted to

โAlright, Iโm making lunch. Is there anything youโd like to eat?โ Xyla asked. โIโm good with anything,โ replied Stanley. โWhat about the food you hate?โThey would be living together for one year, so she felt the need to be aware. โNone.โ With a nod, Xyla turned to enter the kitchen. Her father had instructed the maid to fill up their fridge yesterday, so it was well stocked. She took out the ingredients she would be using and washed them. Soon, a household norm of four dishes and one soup were prepared. The spread consisted of braised pork, green pepper scrambled eggs, hot pepper potato shreds, braised prawns, and squid tofu soup. She placed them carefully on the square dining table and filled up two bowls of rice. Against the green and white checkered tablecloth, the wonderfully prepared dishes looked extraordinarily enticing. The expensive tableware further enhanced this visual effect. The rising heat brought about warmth to this huge mansion. After placing down the b

After lunch, Xyla Quest drove Stanley Batton to Goldfield Plaza in her sports car. Soon, the couple managed to purchase the cleaning robots they needed. After their purchase, they moved the goods into the car. It was bright, sunny, and cloudless outside. Such a day without snowfall was one of the rare good days in winter. After closing the fully stuffed car boot, Xyla turned to him and said, โIโll go to the supermarket to get some dish soap. You can wait for me in the car.โ โIโll go with you.โ Moving his long slender legs, he simply strode to the supermarketโs entrance on the first floor and got into the elevator. Xyla said nothing but quickly followed after him. A good looking couple was exceptionally eye-catching. โIf I had a boyfriend like that, I donโt think Iโll be able to sleep because Iโll be staring at his face until I die.โ โThis guy looks like my idol, Josh Batton, but I think heโs even more handsome than Josh. My goodness, this girl is too fortunate!โ โTh

After picking the oranges, Xyla led him to the commodities area to see if there was anything else they needed at home. โI seem to have forgotten to bring something over,โ Stanley was looking calmly at the underwear area as he spoke. โJust buy whatever youโre missing here,โ said Xyla. Stanley leaned down, folding his arms on the cartโs handle and stared straight at her, asking faintly, โDo you think these here will fit me?โ Xyla looked confused. She had no idea what he was talking about. โHuh?โ He kept quiet, pointing to the menโs underwear section. Following his fingerโs direction, Xyla immediately noticed an entire section filled with menโs underwear not too far away. Her face and neck instantly flushed red. Why did that sentence sound so ambiguous? So shameless? Oddly, this was obviously a mischievous question, but she did not feel disgusted when he asked with a straight face. Memories she had buried with so much difficulty came surging back like a great flood. As

She handed him the items while he scanned them. Such tacit cooperation was very efficient. Whatever Xyla asked of him, he would cooperate compliantly. When Sebastian and a female internet celebrity pushed their cart to the payment area, they just happened to run into this scene. His eyes subconsciously widened. Sebastian deliberately closed his eyes, rubbing them for a bit before opening them wide again. His eyes were not playing tricks on him. That man was his best buddy, Old Fifth! And that woman was his sister-in-law, Xyla Quest! What was this? This person who despised entering supermarkets was actually here shopping! And from the looks of things, he seemed to be cooperating very well. He got more curious as to what magic Xyla had used on Stanley. Were they already this close? So close that Xyla would actually go shopping with him? โThis is too f*cking surrealโฆโ Sebastian could not help mumbling to himself. The internet celebrity asked, โYoung Master Brenand, w

โFive Batton, donโt force me to take out cash from the ATM.โ Xyla was adamant about returning the money. Giving no response, he continued to push the cart forward as if there was a barrier around him, shutting everyone out. Once at home, the two unpacked everything they bought, putting them in their rightful places. After that, they sat on the snow-white carpet, taking the cleaning robots out of their boxes and putting one on each floor. When everything was done, both returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa. Stanley took out his phone, opened up the Gentlemanโs Club chat room, and read the chat records with an impassive look on his face. Once inside, he saw himself tagged in dozens of messages. More than ten of them were only tags without content. Frowning slightly, he kept his composure as he continued to scroll up. Only then did he finally realize what they were talking about and why they were so excited. Slender fingers swiftly typed in words. โโฆ any

Carefully cleaning her wound with the cotton ball, Stanley kept blowing cold air at it. He was as tender as an antique duster. A surge of warmth spread inside her heart when she looked up to see his focused gaze. โHow is it? Does it hurt?โ he asked. โIt doesnโt.โ Xyla shook her head. โDonโt use your hands to pick those up next time.โ โOkay.โ After that, he tossed the cotton ball away and meticulously wrapped her wound with a band-aid. His actions were swift and gentle. โDone. Donโt get your wound wet for a period of time, okay?โ He looked serious as ever. Xyla nodded, standing up. โIโll go and clean up the glass shards.โ โIโll go.โ He got up and walked into the washroom. Xyla sat back down on the sofa and surfed Weibo. Weiboโs hottest search ranking was just as interesting as before. Upon entering, the searches were all about scandals involving Emily Quest, Tom Sullivan, and the Sullivan Group. The news was just as intense as before. She couldnโt help wonder

โWhat?โ Stanley Batton asked as he slowly shifted his gaze to Xyla Questโs face.โAre you really planning on not accepting the money in WeChat?โ Xyla was determined to return the money to Five Batton.โI donโt want it,โ Stanley answered without hesitation.As soon as he finished speaking, Xyla reached out to his phone so that she could accept the money on his behalf.However, before she could even touch the phone, Stanley reflexively raised his phone high into the air.โCan you not behave like this?โ Xyla asked in softly as she frowned helplessly.โNo,โ Stanley said before letting go of the phone.Immediately, the phone began falling. Stanley was able to catch it with his other hand. He then unlocked the phone with a single hand before he continued to read the news.It happened so quickly, almost as if Stanley did not even need to think about it.Xyla was amazed by how Stanley was able to move so agilely. It was the first time she had seen something like this.This man in fron

Xyla quickly reached for Hannahโs hand. โIs that right? Hannah, youโre amazingโฆ! Youโre practically on par with Leon!โHannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. โNot at all.โโOh, cut it out. If you hadnโt helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?โ Leon chuckled.โI guess Iโve lived up to my promise.โ Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of. She earned her rightful seat next to Leon as the CEO of Dragon Group.Stanley also turned to look at Hannah. โYes, Hannahโs very capable. Sheโs our family pride.โHannah laughed. โI was lucky to be accepted by your family.โIn fact, Hannah genuinely felt grateful toward the Batton family over the years she had spent with them.They had helped her through all the hardship she encountered when she was poor and down on her luck.Aft

From now on, you donโt have to worry about a single thing.โ With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannahโs face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surrealโฆHannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannahโs dark, depressing life, Leon was her only salvation.He was a ray of hope that led her out of hell, so she could see light once more.Hannah thought she would never have anything to do with Leon after she quit school.Even until now, she still remembered how sorrowful she was on her last day of school.But nowโฆ Not only did she get the opportunity to interact with him once more, but they also became a couple.Their driver sighed to himself while

Over time, Leonโs 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, Hannahโs 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 wasnโt a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfoundedโฆThis meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasnโt 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 Raymondโs head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. โWho are you? Donโt you know what youโre doing is illegal?โLeon sneered. โYou donโt deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.โLeonโs 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.โMr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?โ One of the men dressed in black asked.โMr. Batton? Are you Stanley Battonโs son?!โ 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.โHow dare you address our president by name?!โ Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannahโs body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking. Everywhere hurt badly.At that moment, Hannah felt like a fragile doll made of clay that had been forcefully slammed hard against the ground until it broke into small pieces.Her mind went blank from the stinging agony.She braced herself and looked at the cold eyes staring back at her, filled with terror. Stammering, she asked, โMr. Grayโฆ What is the meaning of this?โ โWhatโs the meaning of this? Ha! Donโt you know whatโs good for you?

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasnโt about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didnโt 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 Grayโฆ Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain. She really didnโt know what to do.Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. Afterwards, she began pacing back and forth in worried circles, going to and fro aimlessly. Right as she was trapped in her worried musings, a group of people exited the bar. Raymond Gray, dressed in black, sporty attire, led all of them in a flamboyant manner.

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 werenโt 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 didnโt respect women at allโฆ Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality.
