At this moment, Xyla Quest’s motherly instincts had been activated.Her gaze softened as she lovingly rubbed her lower belly. She imagined her adorable baby doing flips in her stomach while she ate.She was able to visualize her baby growing each day in her stomach, as well as her loving husband and father by her side.Xyla felt like she was the luckiest girl in the world.After dinner at the Quest family’s house, Xyla and Stanley Batton strolled out of the house, holding each other’s hand.It was cloudy outside, and snow the size of goose feathers fell from the sky.The large snowflakes glistened brightly under the lights.The courtyard was covered in a white blanket, looking clean and picturesque.“Honey, why don't we take a leisurely walk home right now? We can leave the car behind and then send someone over to get it tomorrow,” Xyla suggested.“Okay.” Stanley would never turn down any of her requests.He removed his black coat and then draped it over Xyla’s white coat. “I

Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton’s heads were completely covered in white by the time they arrived home.They both flicked off all the snow before entering their house.Inside, the heater was on full blast, making it feel like a completely different world from the outside.Xyla instantly felt active after entering the warm house.Removing Stanley’s coat, she glanced at him. “Are you sure you’re not cold?”Xyla was already freezing even though they’d only walked in the snow for less than ten minutes.“Not at all.”“You sure are resistant to the cold,” Xyla retorted and then rubbed her hands together while she quickly ran over to the couch. She picked up a white blanket to cover her legs until she soon felt warm again.Stanley unhurriedly put away their shoes before sitting down next to her, his arms extending to sit her forcefully on his lap.Xyla leaned against him naturally before she picked up her phone and opened Weibo to examine the current list of hot topics.The topics fro

Xyla Quest felt her baby kicking again.The warm sensation spread from her stomach to the rest of her body.Presently, she felt boundless energy all over her body.Her feelings of exhaustion had disappeared completely, feeling as if she had only just woken up in the morning.Xyla was a little surprised by this strange feeling, uncertain why she would feel like this when her baby kicked her in the stomach.This was something Xyla had never discovered.Right then, Stanley Batton walked up to her. “The bath is ready, Darling.”Xyla gently rubbed her stomach and gazed at him. “Our baby just kicked.”His gaze softened significantly when he heard this.He splayed his hand on her stomach with a loving look in his eyes. “We’ll be able to meet each other very soon.”Right then, Xyla felt the baby kicking gently again, right at the spot where Stanley was touching.He instantly felt his heart melting.“Can the baby sense that I’m touching your stomach? I could feel the baby kicking,”

Xyla Quest nodded. “I’ll do it myself.”“I’ll peel it for you,” Stanley Batton told her.“But I would like to eat the roasted sweet potatoes first,” she said.“You can have it first.”Xyla happily began to eat a sweet potato after peeling one.The sweet potatoes Zack Cassidy bought were all tiny but sweet.Outside, it was snowing.It felt right to be eating roasted sweet potatoes on a snowy day like this.After taking two bites, Xyla brought the sweet potato close to Stanley’s mouth. “Here, have a taste. It's really sweet.”He slowly took a bite. “Yeah, you can eat this. I don’t really like them.”While Xyla ate without care, Stanley started peeling the stir-fried, sugary chestnuts for her.It was such an ordinary moment, yet she felt extraordinarily happy.Happiness should be simple like that.After finishing the sweet potatoes, she started on the chestnuts Stanley had peeled.Without realizing it, she ended up eating everything.She rubbed her stomach guiltily upon rea

'Summer has invited you to join her team.'Alex’s calm and sullen eyes instantly lit up.He smiled and accepted the invitation, knowing that it was a nickname Xyla Quest recently started using.It was etched in his heart.At that moment, his teammates were all focused on their games without noticing this happening.The matching process was completed speedily after Alex entered the game.Their team members were all high-ranking players from the Korean server.They became very excited when they saw Alex—“Support, Jungler, both of you stay at the top lane to help Alex,” Momo wrote.“Got it. As the Jungler, I will stay at the top lane and help Alex in every way I can!” Bao wrote.“Alex, I’m playing Support. I’ll stay in the top lane too,” Lin wrote.Meanwhile, Xyla immediately responded when she saw what they wrote—“Jungler can stay at the top lane on his own. Support should come with me,” Summer wrote.“Why? C

With her perfect maneuvers and the help of Lin, her Support, Xyla Quest was able to kill their two opponents in the bottom lane behind the enemy tower within five minutes of the game.“Xyla, you really do have god-like moves. Can I add you as my friend later?” Lin asked.Although she had said some awful things to Xyla earlier, she didn’t mind because she was quite a good player.Xyla immediately responded. “Okay, sure.”“Thank you, Xyla. If you ever want to play next time, I’m willing to do anything to help you,” Lin wrote.Her team managed to destroy the enemy’s top and bottom lanes in ten minutes. The game ended in fifteen.Everyone in the team showered her with praises, sending her friend requests, which she accepted.All five team members played another match because of how much fun they had together.The praises for her performance kept coming.After winning three consecutive games, Xyla logged out before texting Alex on WeChat. “I’m going to sleep.

Alex didn’t want to ruin the balance and peace he had right now or allow himself to mess things up.There was no point.Aside from making things awkward between him and Xyla Quest, nothing good would come out of it.Therefore, he would let things be.He would secretly love her, look at her, and do everything he could for her as her friend and team member. He’d do anything to make her happy.Sometimes, loving someone didn’t mean having to possess that person.Seeing Xyla happy was a form of happiness for Alex, too.While he’d feel jealous of Stanley Batton sometimes, he knew that nobody else would be good enough for Xyla other than him.When his teammates heard what he said, they sighed in relief and stopped gossiping about him.“That’s great, or we’d be troubled.”“You scared me there, but that’s great.”“I thought you had a crush on our boss. It’s good that you don’t.”“It's one thing that our boss is married. With her status, ordinary gamers like us should not even consid

Xyla Quest rubbed her belly gently, a strong sense of joy filling her heart.Stanley Batton strolled in just as she was about to turn off the lights, attired casually in black and looking elegant and tall.He laid down next to her after turning off the lights, his arms wrapped around her. “Why were you playing this late? Don’t you have work tomorrow?”“I do, I just haven’t played for a long time. I couldn’t resist it,” she answered.“Are you still a child?” Stanley sounded somewhat helpless. “I really couldn’t resist it. I had far too fun,” she said.“Such a kid.”He rubbed his chin against the top of her head, smelling the light scent of roses as he hugged her tightly in his arms.Inhaling deeply, he gently kissed her on the lips. “I’ll wait until after the baby is born.”He tightened his hug. “Let’s sleep, kiddo.”Xyla’s heart was beating rapidly, but she remained quiet. Closing her eyes, she leaned against his chest. She fell asleep to the beats of his heart and the sound

Xyla quickly reached for Hannah’s hand. “Is that right? Hannah, you’re amazing…! You’re practically on par with Leon!”Hannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. “Not at all.”“Oh, cut it out. If you hadn’t helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?” Leon chuckled.“I guess I’ve lived up to my promise.” 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. “Yes, Hannah’s very capable. She’s our family pride.”Hannah laughed. “I was lucky to be accepted by your family.”In 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

“Hannah, I’ve taken the first step for you. 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. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannah’s 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 now… 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, 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. There were many things she wanted to say, and yet, she couldn’t utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake. Sensing her trembling body, Leon tightened his e

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

Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannah’s 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, “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. She really didn’t 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.

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 politely at Lina Cohen. “Nice to meet you… Thank you in advance!”“No problem… Do let me know if there’s anything you don’t like about your makeup too,” Lina said.Hannah nodded. “Okay, sure…”“By the way… Do all the signers here get such good treatment? I’m surprised we’re even assigned our own makeup artists,” Hannah asked carefully as she wasn’t aware about things like these..However, Lina smiled without answering Hannah’s question directly. She held Hannah’s hand casually the next second, “Come here. I’ll start doing your makeup now…”Hannah nodded…Lina was a very professional makeup artist. She took an hour to finish Hannah’s makeup.An hour later, Hannah’s appearance transformed completely.Lina permed Hannah’s long, black hair into natural-looking curls.Hannah had intricate peach-colored makeup on her face which made her appear lively and youthful.Once Lina was done with Hannah’s makeup, she happily retrieved a long, white dress from a clothes

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.
