Chapter 2312

Author: Moonlight
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.”

    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 po

    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

    “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 befo

    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

    “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.

    “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.

    “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. Wilson Batton also turned to gaze at them as he began to smile. “Yes, they all look particularly radiant today, especially Xyla and our grandchildren. They look wonderful.”Sharon and Wilson acted like their adoring fans.She nodded, and then several wealthy housewives gathered next to her and began to speak—“Hey, Sharon. How do you still look so young when you’re looking after three grandchildren?”“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 w

    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.

    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.

    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

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.
