“Okay. I’ll make those for you in a bit,” Stanley Batton said.

“Oh, right. I also want a bowl of cream of mushroom soup. Do you know how to make it?” Xyla Quest asked.

“I don’t, but I can learn,” he said.

“Oh, okay,” Xyla said.

The high-level executives on Stanley’s computer screen were all dumbfounded.

This woman had ordered their CEO to cook for her. She even said it matter-of-factly. It appeared as if their CEO cooked for her frequently.

Could the cold and distant Stanley Batton have a soft side like this?

Everyone looked at each other, as countless questions appeared in their minds. In the end, they all muted their microphones and began whispering among themselves.

“Did I hear that wrongly? Does our CEO cook in his private life? It’s impossible to imagine our demon king wearing an apron and making soup.”

“No way… Who is this woman? Our CEO has broken the rules for her more than once. Oh my god. Isn’t she amazing?”

    Stanley Batton slowly looked up at Wilson Batton with a curious gaze.“Didn’t Xyla just go through a surgery? You should spend more time looking after her. Don’t go to the office if you don’t have to and make her more herbal soup so that she can recover sooner.“Didn’t your mother send some supplements over to Xyla? Make use of them according to the given recipes, do you understand?” Wilson said seriously.“Okay,” Stanley said calmly.“Our loving father is also a loving husband,” Catherine Batton said with a smile.Wilson ruffled Catherine’s hair gently. “Men should indeed look after their wives. Only men who are good to their wives will succeed in life.”Catherine chuckled. “Hehe… I hope I can meet someone like my father in the future.”“You will,” Josh said.“If the man you end up meeting doesn’t treat you right, I’ll hire someone to kill him,” Wilson said.“I don’t care who he is, but if he dares hurt my sister, he will have to pay for it,” Stanley added.“That’s for sure,

    As Stanley Batton sang, Xyla Quest listened and enjoyed every moment of it.Amidst his singing, Xyla soon heard a car arriving outside the house.She immediately felt joyful and ran over to open the door with her phone in hand.As soon as she opened the door, she saw Stanley getting out of his black Honda.He was wearing a white shirt and black pants, and there was a black coat draped around his arm.The simple combination of clothes made him appear like a noble, diving being that had descended from above.He took big strides toward her. Suddenly, he stopped singing.Very soon, Stanley was in front of Xyla, smiling faintly. “I’m home.”“Hmm.” Xyla nodded gently.“Were you afraid?” he asked.Xyla shook her head.She was never afraid of the dark. With him accompanying her on the phone, she didn’t feel afraid at all.Without saying anything, Stanley placed his coat over her body. “I’m going to check out what’s wrong.”After that, Stanley turned on the torchlight on his phone

    When Xyla Quest heard what Stanley Batton said, her heart clenched. She subconsciously turned to look at his eyes.There was a mysterious look in his eyes, and it appeared as if he was smiling faintly.Right then, Xyla felt as if her heart had gone numb.She began to blush as images of what happened the other night appeared in her mind.“You’re annoying. What are you saying?” Xyla pretended to be calm as she frowned and looked at him with a serious expression.“Can’t you be a little purer?” Stanley’s smile became more apparent.“You’re the impure one,” Xyla said.“How am I impure?” Stanley asked.“How are you not impure? Hurry up and do it already,” Xyla said with a serious face.After saying that, she blushed yet again.Wait a second…What the hell did she just say?“Sure, I’ll do it,” Stanley said without moving. His eyes glimmered.Xyla’s face was now red all over. “What are you saying?”“Didn’t you say you wanted me to do the noodle the freshly-homemade way?” Stanley

    Stanley Batton, who sat next to Xyla Quest, calmly and slowly ate a mouthful of noodles. “I’m glad you like it.”“I love it, Five Batton.

After dinner, go to bed,” he said.Xyla nodded and continued to eat her bowl of noodles.She alternated between a mouthful of soup and a mouthful of noodles. Every mouthful warmed her heart and stomach.“Your noodles taste very good,” Xyla said while she ate.After that, Xyla’s face turned red again.Her choice of words seemed to sound…A little problematic.“Really?” Stanley’s eyes glistened playfully.Xyla coughed awkwardly. “The noodles you made taste really good. Don’t overthink.”“Wasn’t that what you meant? Did you mean something else?” He asked.“I…”Xyla’s red had turned red all over by now.Even her ears felt piping hot.What was goi

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.

    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.
