Xyla Quest and Annabeth Cates exchanged amused glances and smiled upon hearing Sharon Lindt's words.If they were honest, they both knew perfectly well that they had such good lives because of Sharon as their mother-in-law.There were countless examples of terrible mothers-in-law around them, so for that reason, the lucky ladies felt particularly grateful toward her.They thanked God for giving them such a wonderful mother-in-law.Sharon beamed. “Xyla, Annabeth, is there anything about me that displeases you? If so, please voice it out. I can change.”They shook their heads vehemently at that notion.“Of course not! You’re the best mother-in-law in the world,” Annabeth declared.“I have no complaints, either," Xyla spoke up right after her. "You are such a wonderful person. So is Dad. Your sons are also great men. There is absolutely nothing about this family we'd ever change.”Xyla meant every word she said.She couldn’t think of anything the Batton family did that made her f

There were times when Xyla Quest honestly didn’t know whether to laugh or cry about Sharon Lindt.Sharon Lindt would always blame everything on Stanley Batton regardless of why or what happened to make Xyla feel down. Moreover, Sharon had a knack for sounding very persuasive when hurling accusations at her sons.It was a pretty impressive talent of hers.Right then, Sharon had a grave expression on her face. “Why shouldn’t I? You’re obviously unhappy, so how could I not blame him? Besides, no matter what happens, it’s always Stanley’s fault whenever you’re not in a good mood.”Josh Batton wore a helpless look on his face. “I feel bad for Stanley. Mom, is he even your real son?”“Whenever he makes Xyla unhappy, I’d wish he wasn’t,” his mother grumbled.Josh gently patted his brother on his shoulder. “My heart goes out to you, Bro.”“You don’t have to feel sorry for him. I think of you the same way,” she reminded him with a deadpanned expression.His facial expression instantly

Wilson Batton was also very excited at the mention of lobsters, so the family finally decided on it.Soon, their black Rolls-Royce limousine stopped in front of an alley entrance, and then the group walked to a restaurant at the furthest end.It was the most famous restaurant that served the best lobsters in Atlantis at an affordable price range.It was so famous that people came from all over the world.The current hour was a popular time for city dwellers to have supper, so a huge crowd was waiting in line outside the restaurant.The Batton family was a regular client plus a family friend of the restaurant's owner, so they were ushered inside directly by a waiter.They were seated at a large table by the window in the main lobby since there were no private rooms available.The space was only sufficient for over twenty tables in the main lobby.Right then, apart from their table by the window, all other tables were occupied.Members of the Batton family didn’t avoid scrutiny

Everyone wore disposable gloves before feasting on lobsters while drinking beer, ignoring other patrons around them who were taking their pictures from afar.They were thankfully not intrusive, aside from making various comments and photo-taking, so the Batton family felt more at ease.The restaurant was running at maximum capacity, and the interior was smoky within.The Battons seemed like a regular group of people in that restaurant, having a meal and doing ordinary things just like other people.They were no different from everyone else, so they could blend in perfectly apart from their designer clothes.They managed to finish every dish in record time as everyone was generally in high spirits and no longer full from the food at the birthday party.After the meal, Stanley Batton settled the bill before they all left the restaurant together.Even after they were gone, people were still commenting in the restaurant.“D*mn. This family is so down to earth. I thought rich people

Sharon Lindt beamed when she saw everyone’s comments.“Men in our family treat their wives well despite being rich. It's something to be proud of,” she said with her head resting against Wilson Batton’s shoulder.Although the couple had already been together for decades, they still acted like newlyweds.Xyla Quest and Annabeth Cates couldn’t help but feel envious of them despite being in loving relationships themselves.“I know many people want to marry into our family, but I’m sorry to say that I have no other single sons. Besides, our sons have no plans of getting married a second time,” she said with a chuckle.Wilson nodded as he gazed affectionately at his wife. “Yeah, you’re right.”“Of course,” she replied smugly.“Dad, Mom, I’m genuinely envious of you two. You still seem like newlyweds even after being married for decades,” Xyla expressed“Yes, I’m super envious, too. It would be great if Josh and I are like this in the future,” Annabeth spoke up.“You will. You don’t

“Got it. I’ll book the entire hall for you, will that do?” Sharon Lindt asked her son.Josh Batton nodded. “Okay, sure. Thanks.”“I’m doing this for Annabeth. I hope her husband gets the respect he deserves,” she clarified.“Mom, you don’t need to be so upfront about certain things,” he told her.“That won’t do. Some things need to be made clear.”“Fine. I now know for sure that my brother and I were adopted. Annabeth and Xyla are your real daughters. That is dead certain,” Josh lamented.“I can’t help it if that’s what you think,” his mother replied.“Yes,” Wilson Batton said.Their two sons were speechless.“What genre is that film of yours?” Sharon asked.“Wasn’t it all over the news?” Josh replied.“Yes, but I had my full attention on Annabeth and Xyla, so I didn’t have time to pay attention to you. I’m sorry.”He felt hurt once again, nodding before letting out a bitter laugh. “Fine. The film is about Three Kingdoms.”“Oh, Three Kingdoms," she echoed with a slow nod.

“They all have incompetent men by their sides,” Wilson Batton said.Sharon Lindt nodded in agreement. “That’s absolutely right. If men treat their wives poorly, they then become increasingly hostile. How could such families be happy?”Everyone agreed with this point with a nod.“Here’s the thing, women are meant to be loved and adored,” he said.“Yes, yes. Women are such wonderful creatures, therefore should be treated gently by this world,” his wife quipped.***Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton headed home after dropping his parents off at Josh Batton’s house.By then, the nannies and the children were all asleep.They didn’t want to wake anyone, so they headed directly upstairs to their bedroom.Stanley was in charge of filling the bathtub with water, bath foam, Xyla’s favorite milk, and rose petals.Meanwhile, Xyla carefully removed her makeup and put on a face mask in front of the basin.He was done drawing a bath by the time she had finished putting on her face mask.The

“Why don’t we check on them using the surveillance system later? We may not see them clearly, but we can at least have a peek,” Xyla Quest suggested. “Maybe we won’t miss them so badly then.”“Okay,” Stanley Batton agreed instantly.Their children were already one-year-old in the blink of an eye.Xyla and Stanley spent the past twelve months by their side, watching them as they grew little by little.They witnessed their children learn how to walk and speak.Now, they had an even stronger bond with them.They were inseparable in the past, but even more so now.The couple really loved their children and would probably die if they lost them. As a matter of fact, they’d even be willing to die for them.“All right, let’s get cleaned up and see them through the surveillance system before we would be able to sleep in peace,” she said eagerly.Her husband nodded.“Honey, there’s something I need to talk to you about first,” she told him.He glanced at her curiously, gently swirling
