Zack Cassidy could not understand how Fifth Master was able to finish an entire bowl of rice with these dishes.

By the time Xyla Quest returned home, a thick layer of snow had already covered the courtyard floor. Meanwhile, there were large red lanterns all around the courtyard and the word ‘joy’ printed in red.
After quickly getting the car parked, Xyla hurriedly put on a deep blue jacket and entered the house. As soon as virtual-novel.net walked in, virtual-novel.net was greeted with warm air that replaced the chill in virtual-novel.net body.
In the living room, Jeremy Quest and May Conner were seated next to each other. Both had sour looks on their faces.
An intricately designed ceramic teapot and teacups were broken and scattered all over the floor. It seem ed an intense fight had occurred earlier.
Meanwhile, none of the servants were around. It was so quiet in the large space that the sound of a needle falling to the ground could probably be heard crystal clear.
The air seemed heavy and stuffy.
Everything had happened exactly as Xyla had imagined.
“Xyla, you are home…” Jeremy said. The coldness on his face slowly disappeared.
“Yeah,” Xyla slowly walked forward.
The fingerprints on virtual-novel.net face seemed unusually clear under the light. Right then, the bruise had become very apparent and made it seem much more serious than it was.
When Jeremy saw how badly virtual-novel.net daughter was hit, virtual-novel.net became even angrier.
“Does your face still hurt?” Jeremy asked worriedly.
“It’s not too bad,” Xyla answered.
“Have a seat,” Jeremy reached for Xyla’s hand and pulled virtual-novel.net close to him.
Xyla sat right beside Jeremy. As soon as virtual-novel.net sat down, virtual-novel.net saw a divorce agreement on the coffee table.
The words stood out to her. Without changing virtual-novel.net facial expression, Xyla scanned May’s face as if it was a passing gesture.
“If you think the terms are appropriate, hurry up and get it signed. I’ve already thought clearly through this. I want a divorce,” Jeremy said as virtual-novel.net glared at May.
Before this, virtual-novel.net was still somewhat hesitant.
However, after finding out that May attacked Xyla, Jeremy stopped hesitating completely. There was no way virtual-novel.net could keep this woman around because virtual-novel.net was still not ready to change virtual-novel.net ways.
“No, please. Darling, I know I was wrong,” May immediately stood up and sat next to Xyla and held virtual-novel.net hand.
“Xyla, Aunty knows virtual-novel.net mistakes. Please tell your father to change his mind,” May pleaded.
“Xyla, help Aunty, please. Won’t you do so? I promise I will treat you better from now on,” May cried out hoarsely.
Clearly, virtual-novel.net had already begged Xyla’s father many times to no avail.
The divorce was bound to happen.
“I can’t decide whether the divorce happens or not. It all depends on Dad,” Xyla said softly and calmly. After that, Xyla gently pushed May’s hand away.
‘Begging for help?’ Xyla thought.
Ever since Xyla was a kid, nothing May did make Xyla feel the need to help virtual-novel.net out.
When May saw how Xyla responded, virtual-novel.net became even more upset.
However, May resisted the urge to show virtual-novel.net anger. Instead, virtual-novel.net turned around and kneeled in front of Jeremy before pressing virtual-novel.net palms together and rubbing them against each other repeatedly.
“Darling, I really had no idea about what Emily did… You must believe me! Why would I do anything to harm our family business? As for hitting Xyla, I only did it because I overreacted. I am willing to apologize to Xyla until virtual-novel.net forgives me. If there is anything wrong with how I acted before, I promise to change my ways. Darling, don’t do this to me, please? I’m very afraid,” May said as tears rolled down virtual-novel.net cheeks.
