Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 2185
Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton had indeed spent very little time with each other during the day, but the opposite was true at night.“We spend much less time together than we used to since we're both so busy. On top of that, we have to spend time with our children when we get home. We certainly don’t have a lot of time with each other,” he explained.“But I don’t mind. I don’t need you to be with me all the time,” she said.“But I mind," he insisted. "Work is important, but spending time with each other is equally important. Otherwise, we’d grow distant.”Xyla felt warm in her heart when she heard this. She didn’t think a man could be more thoughtful than her.“Wouldn’t you be neglecting work to be here with me? Haven’t we spent enough time together during my postpartum recovery?” she wondered.“That’s different. I needed to take care of you during your postpartum recovery. That doesn’t mean I don’t have to spend more time with you after that.” Stanley had always cared about qua

After the awkward encounter earlier, Freda would be sure to knock before entering Xyla Quest's office next time.So, she allowed Stanley Batton to do what he wanted and indulged him for now.She rested her head against his shoulder and relaxed. “Which game did you play today?”“Honor of Kings,” he answered.“Did you win?”“Yeah, I was great in every match,” he replied smugly.“Awesome.”Talking about games made Xyla want to play, too, but the rational part of her mind was telling her to prioritize work first.She still had a lot of work to deal with, and once she started playing, she would lose track of time.She would have to start working in earnest after lunch.“My teammates were great, too, so it wasn't so bad,” he said.He then gazed at her. “Team XS has been doing well lately.”Team XS had been winning every match since the spring tournament and maintained their number one spot in the league.They didn’t even lose in minor battles.It seemed very likely they would b

“Yes.” Freda’s face reddened before she sped away. Once she was gone, the atmosphere became quiet once more.Xyla Quest's hunger became apparent as the aroma from the food containers circulated her office. Eagerly, she brought them over to the coffee table while her husband followed closely behind her.They simultaneously took their containers to unpack them. Inside, they found three dishes in total, including stir-fried eggs with tomatoes, minced meat, and braised eggplants.They both liked these dishes.After lunch, Xyla resumed her work while Stanley Batton settled on the couch to continue playing his games as he accompanied her in the office.Although neither of them intruded on each other's space, they seemed perfectly content together.At the same time, her employees were spamming messages in the company’s WeChat group, where the main topic was regarding Stanley's presence in their building.“Mr. Batton doesn’t plan on leaving today, does he? Ms. Quest is busy working wh

Xyla Quest seemed as fresh-faced as ever, even though she hadn’t reapplied any makeup since she left the house that morning.Discovering that her makeup hadn’t faded at all, she had to admit that the cosmetics she recently purchased were very long-lasting.However, since she had a photoshoot, she reapplied a bright red lipstick to make sure her photos would look great later.She had naturally fair skin, and with the bright red lipstick, her complexion seemed even brighter.The striking red color instantly made her seem elegant.Someone knocked on the door again just as she finished reapplying lipstick.“Come in.”Freda entered, escorting the interview crew from HC Magazine into her office.A female journalist led the group, wearing a lapel mic as two photographers and a gaffer trailed behind her.As they entered, they first saw Xyla before noticing Stanley Batton, making them gasp.People like him didn’t require much effort to make others feel intimidated.The journalist has

“He made time to be with me because he feels that we haven't spent much time together recently.“He set aside a lot of his important tasks at the company to do that,” Xyla Quest said with a helpless expression on her face.Although she felt helpless as she spoke, she also felt absurdly happy.The journalist couldn't help feeling envious when she heard this. “I see. Mr. Batton is indeed well-known for how much he adores his wife. Ms. Quest, you must be very happy.”Xyla chuckled. “Yeah, I am. I have to thank God for giving me such a wonderful husband.”“You’re also wonderful yourself. That’s why you are blessed with a good husband,” the other woman said.“Thank you.”“From what I know, Quest Group’s stock price has increased rapidly since you took over. You've even gotten involved in many industries you never had in the past. Moreover, they've achieved excellent results.“They say you’re an investment genius. What do you have to say about this?” the journalist added.“I don’t t

Stanley Batton’s legs were indeed long, perhaps a little too long for the couch.Xyla Quest approached him, spurring him to reach out to pull her onto his length.She began to blush as the level of intimacy made her heart race. Recalling the incident earlier in the morning, she gently pushed his chest to straighten up next to him. “Stop it, it’s annoying. I told you to be more mindful when we’re in the office.”He smiled. “Oh, I know. I’ll pay attention next time.”With that, he slowly sat up and pulled her onto his lap again.“Didn’t we just go over this?” she scolded.Her husband hadn't stayed true to his words when he said he would pay attention the next time.She was too tired to argue.“I’m already very careful,” he said with an affectionate expression. Xyla stood up to reposition herself next to him, her face still flushed from before. “The interview is over.”“Hmm.”“They asked a lot of questions about you,” she sighed wearily.“How did you answer?” he asked curio

“That means I love you,” Stanley Batton declared, wearing a wary expression on his face. He had changed the topic hastily.“I was joking," Xyla Quest laughed. "Look at how nervous you are.”“How can I not be nervous when your emotions are involved?”She couldn’t resist resting her head against his shoulder. “Okay, I have to get back to work. Do whatever you want, all right?”“I’ve been spending so much time here with you, so shouldn’t you reward me? Hmm?” he asked.She took one look at his perfect face and smiled. “What do you have in mind, huh?”Turning fully to look at her, Stanley pressed his nose against hers. “What do you think?”His tone had a seductive effect on Xyla, instantly making her heart pound rapidly.She pressed a tender kiss on his lips before quickly standing up, hastening her footsteps away to avoid his wandering hands again. “Is that sufficient? I’m going back to work.”Stanley touched his lips while he gazed at her from behind. After that, he checked on We

“Hahaha! Is Stanley very free right now? Did he just like all the comments that praised Xyla?”“Hahaha! He’s such a great husband. I can’t stop laughing. Stanley, isn’t your hand tired?”“Why do I suddenly feel like Stanley is a little too adorable?”“I couldn’t tell Stanley was someone who enjoyed liking comments.”“I envy those people whose comments he liked. I’m extremely jealous.”“Stanley must love Xyla a lot to do this.”“There’s a certain kind of love that only exists between Xyla and Stanley.”Stanley Batton didn’t expect anyone would pay so much attention to his simple act of liking comments.He felt rather speechless about it after briefly glancing at such comments.He perused the list of hot topics again but found nothing else of interest, so he clicked on a news application and began reading the news.Meanwhile, Xyla Quest was still hard at work, blissfully unaware of what was happening on the internet.At six o’clock, she was finally done with work.Days were m
