Only then did he understand how lonely it was to wait for someone who would never come home. How many nights did Rachel Wood wait in silence like him right now?As he thought about it, he realized he was unforgivably mean to Rachel in the past. He was heartless. He was a bastard. Irritation spiked Sebastian Brenand as he reminded himself how terrible he was. He got up and lit a cigarette, taking quick drags on it grumpily. He had been smoking really uncontrollably these days. He used to take a couple of cigarettes a day. However, a pack of cigarettes was simply not enough for him to survive a day now. Sebastian was breathless with guilt and exasperation even after he puffed at a few cigarettes. At last, he crushed the butt of the cigarette with his heels and grabbed his phone, calling his assistant, Jean Hanson, sulkily. “Jean, you don’t have to come to work anymore starting tomorrow…”His words startled the sleepy Jean over the other end of the phone. Instantly, he rol

Xyla Quest’s cheeks turned pink instantaneously. “Gosh, it’s not what you’re thinking. I didn’t mean you’re lame in that way…”“What do you mean then?”“It’s just not what you’re thinking…”“Well… I’ll let you know if I’m lame or not, right now.”Xyla was on the verge of tears. She had just recovered from the exhaustion from last night, but her limbs were drained of all energy again now. She weakly lifted her head and caught a glimpse of the clock. It was almost noon. He was a real pain in the neck!!!“Stanley Batton… I warn you not to do this anymore.” Xyla got up from the bed while complaining. Stanley grinned mischievously and sat up. Extending his arm, he pulled her into his embrace once more and gently kissed her forehead. “Okay, I’ll control myself next time.” Upon hearing that, Xyla knew that he was trying to brush her off again!Xyla glanced at him, coldly before putting on a white camisole dress and heading to the bathroom. Stanley simply wrapped a towel arou

She did not know when it started, but Stanley Batton would always be the one preparing the meals as long as they were at home. He would also wash the dishes after they had their meals and did all the other household chores. Everything was contrary to what they had agreed to when they first moved into this house. In the past, both of them would divide the chores equally. However, the situation had changed as time crept by. He was now in charge of all the heavy work. The man seemed to be accustomed to their current lifestyle too. He would automatically settle everything for his girl, spoiling her like a little princess. Xyla Quest had also gotten used to it. She was used to being pampered by him every day. She was used to having her man to take charge of all the household chores.No matter how tough the real world was, she would always be his baby girl in this house.

“Yes… I love you to death, Xyla…” Stanley Batton answered truthfully. His eyes were brimmed with strong possessiveness as he spoke. They were like dangerous cheetahs locking upon their prey.“I only had an armor back then, and I’m not afraid of anything. However, your appearance has given me a soft spot…” Stanley held her hand with a serious expression etched on his face. His one short sentence had touched Xyla Quest’s heart. She could feel a prickly feeling at the tip of her nose as she met his eyes. “In the past, many people tried to attack me, but they didn’t know how to do it. Now that I have you, it’s not going to be the same anymore. If they take you away from me, I will risk my life to snatch you back,” Stanley continued. Xyla’s eyes were rimmed red upon hearing his sincere confession. To Stanley, she was more important than his life. “I love you very, very, very much too…” Xyla sobbed. “I know. Let’s eat. The noodles are getting cold.” Stanley pinched her cheeks

“It’s Tang Bohu’s painting. Xyla told me that you love to collect antique calligraphy and paintings, especially Tang Bohu’s artworks.” Jeremy Quest responded. A smile blossomed on Wilson Batton’s face when he heard his favorite painter’s name. Without further ado, he unfolded the handscroll in front of everyone. This beautiful painting was a collection that he had longed for. Unfortunately, he was late to the auction last time. As a result, someone else had taken away this painting for twenty million dollars. He could not believe that Jeremy was actually that ‘someone else’. “Aye! Thank you so much, Jeremy!” Wilson held the painting joyfully and admired it with all his heart. He looked very much like a little girl encountering her beloved idol in real life. Xyla Quest understood why her father was willing to give Wilson his favorite painting of all time.The Batton family had given her family many valuable gifts.

The elders of the Batton family managed to mostly maintain a serene and courteous front despite their shock. They returned Emily Quest a polite nod. Nonetheless, the rest of them remained indifferent toward her arrival. The same was true for Josh Batton, who was usually friendly and humble. Emily did not care what the others thought about her. She only cared about her beloved idol’s reaction. From the second she opened the door, her eyes were able to perfectly capture all the subtle changes in Josh’s expression. He resented her. She clearly knew that it was because of Xyla Quest. Initially, she thought that Josh liked Xyla.Only today she had learned that Josh was one of the sons of the Batton family. He was Stanley Batton’s sixth brother. All the tenderness and intimacy that Josh had for Xyla were simply because they were family. However, even so, she was still jealous of Xyla. “Can I have your autograph later? I’m a big fan of yours…” Emily asked nervously. “

As long as Xyla Quest was there, Emily Quest would definitely be the forgotten one. Xyla was a diamond shining in the dark. She was dazzling enough to overshadow the people around her, and this included Emily. Even when they were kids, she had always lived in Xyla’s shadow. She was fed up with it. Seeing that Stanley had already poured the wine for Xyla, Josh Batton did not say anything else and continued eating. From time to time, he would reach over to refill Catherine’s plate. Catherine kept her head down the whole time, focusing on her dinner. She did not even bother to look at Emily.“Wilson, Sharon, Xyla told me that you have four other children besides Stan, Josh, and Catherine. Is that true?” May Conner tried to switch the subject again to keep Emily from being embarrassed.“Yes.” Sharon Lindt was not interested in talking with May. “I’ll introduce them to you next time. The four of them are currently abroad. They’re pretty busy, so they rarely come back,” Wilson Ba

To prevent the Sullivan family from getting suspicious of her, Emily Quest would make sure that she was home by eleven o’clock when she met up with the other men at night. She would then lie to the Sullivan family that she had a bad day, so she wanted to go for a walk. They did not care about her, anyway. None of them care about how she felt or where she went. If she hung out with the other men during the daytime, she would tell them she wanted to go shopping, or she needed to take medicine from the hospital. In short, there were a bunch of excuses that she could use. She usually would have fun longer during the daytime. There were times when she constantly pestered them for the whole afternoon. Occasionally, she would also hang out with two or three men at once. Initially, Emily did not plan to find any men tonight, but her heart was burning again after seeing Josh. She had to find a place to vent. ***While Emily was entangled with a young man in bed, Xyla Quest was
