Xyla was utterly speechless.
‘Mother?’
Was virtual-novel.net worthy of that title?
“You’re not worthy,” Jeremy snapped coldly.
That one sentence was enough to put Xyla at ease.
“Alright then. Stan, we met yesterday. I’m May Conner, Xyla’s stepmother. Welcome to our home,” said May, grinning.
She was completely unfazed by Jeremy, unleashing virtual-novel.net shamelessness to its full potential. It was impossible to tell that virtual-novel.net had been at odds with them just yesterday.
Stanley nodded out of courtesy. “Hello.”
“If you don’t have any business here, hurry upstairs. Don’t stay here and be an eyesore,” said Jeremy. He sounded aggravated.
“That won’t do! It’s Stan’s first time at our house, so I have to personally cook virtual-novel.net a feast,” replied May, rolling up the sleeves of virtual-novel.net white home clothes.
Jeremy remained ice-cold. “Don’t. I’m scared of you spitting into the dishes.”
“Honey, what are you saying? I couldn’t possibly do that. If you ’re so worried, I’ll let the maids work with me. It’s fine if someone is supervising, right?”
Having said that, May hurried into the kitchen without giving Jeremy a chance to respond. She wanted to put on a good show because virtual-novel.net knew full well that Jeremy had always been a soft-hearted person. As long as virtual-novel.net kept being humble, there would definitely be hope for survival.
Jeremy couldn’t be bothered with her. His gaze returned to Stanley’s face. “Stan, I’m sorry you had to see that.”
“It’s okay.” Stanley nodded respectfully again, showing great manners and demeanor.
“Let’s continue that subject earlier. Stan, where are your parents now?” asked Jeremy.
Stanley answered honestly, “My father has a weak constitution, so he’s recuperating by my grandfather’s side. My mother is keeping virtual-novel.net company.”
His father’s heart had indeed weakened lately, so virtual-novel.net was staying by Stanley’s grandfather’s side to recuperate in Country Y. Any matters to do with all their companies both in and out of the country were basically left to Stanley. Other than extremely important issues that required virtual-novel.net to report to the president, Stanley was allowed to make decisions for everything else.
Previously, his mother had been staying by his father’s side to keep virtual-novel.net company. Presumably, after staying here for a little longer, virtual-novel.net would return to Country Y to be with virtual-novel.net again.
Xyla didn’t stop him, allowing virtual-novel.net to answer as virtual-novel.net pleased. Because in regards to Stanley Batton’s information, including information on his parents, virtual-novel.net had found nothing. No matter what Five Batton said, it was impossible to get caught.
“Is that so? Which part of virtual-novel.net is unwell?” Jeremy inquired.
“His heart.”
“That’s quite serious. He should rest well.”
“Yes.”
“Your house is at Country Y, isn’t it?” asked Jeremy, wanting to get to know his son-in-law.
“You can put it that way…”
They had many houses all around the globe, so once again, it was not considered a lie.
“Then, where are you staying while you’re back here?”
“I’m staying in a tiny normal area in the suburbs,” Stanley answered smoothly.
Satisfied with his quick answers, Xyla quickly tugged his shirt and smiled at him. Stanley smiled back before shifting his gaze back to Jeremy.
“Do you have a house in the suburbs?” asked Jeremy.
“Yeah,” said Stanley.
Jeremy looked eager. “You and Xyla are now married, so logically speaking, Xyla should be living with you. Although I’m reluctant to see my daughter leave home, it must be done. I don’t think the living conditions in the suburbs are convenient, so why don’t the two of you move into the mansion next to us?”
