After finishing virtual-novel.net sentence, Xyla Quest headed directly upstairs.
Buzz, buzz, buzz…
Catherine Batton’s call came in again and distracted Stanley Batton right then.
“What is it now?” Stanley said after picking up.
“Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if you want to play a game with me?”
“No,” Stanley answered right away.
After that, virtual-novel.net ended the call and walked out the door.

Meanwhile, in the Quest family’s villa, Emily Quest was playing with virtual-novel.net phone in bed after calming herself down from feeling angry earlier.
Beep, beep, beep…
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net received a call from Tom Sullivan. When virtual-novel.net saw who was calling, virtual-novel.net hand trembled slightly.
These days, Tom had been calling virtual-novel.net very frequently, and virtual-novel.net always talked about getting a divorce. Despite rejecting virtual-novel.net each time, Tom still called virtual-novel.net back repeatedly. It seemed virtual-novel.net was very determined about it.
As usual, Emily immediately cancelled the call.
She absolutely refused to get a divorce with Tom. Now, virtual-novel.net had already lost too much. There’s no way virtual-novel.net could allow herself to lose Tom too.
Although Tom no longer had the same status as virtual-novel.net did before, Emily believed that virtual-novel.net would regain the glory of his former days sometime in the future. Emily wouldn’t easily let go of such a valuable husband so that other women could snatch him. Once Tom returned to the peak of his glory, Emily would be the one standing next to him.
Right then, Tom sent virtual-novel.net a WeChat message. “Come out and have a chat… I’m in front of your house. Don’t worry, it’s not about getting a divorce.”
Emily immediately felt overjoyed.
What could it be if it wasn’t about getting a divorce?
Could virtual-novel.net be here to patch things up with her? Did virtual-novel.net remember the good times they had during the time they were apart? Did virtual-novel.net realize virtual-novel.net still loved her?
Emily was ecstatic in that instant.
She instantly let out a long sigh before quickly getting up and fixing virtual-novel.net hair. After that, virtual-novel.net tried virtual-novel.net best to suppress the joy in virtual-novel.net heart while pretending to appear depressed. With a frown on virtual-novel.net face, virtual-novel.net put on virtual-novel.net shoes and walked down the stairs.
Downstairs, May Conner and Jeremy Quest were seated while they drank tea.
When Emily saw them, virtual-novel.net immediately pretended to look even more depressed. With virtual-novel.net head lowered, and virtual-novel.net body seemingly drained of energy, virtual-novel.net looked like a rose that would soon wilt away.
Seeing his daughter this way made Jeremy’s heart wrenched in pain.
“Emily, why are you down here?” Jeremy asked.
Emily slowly looked up at Jeremy with a blank expression. “I want to take a walk outside.”
“I’ll come with you…” Jeremy said.
“I want to be by myself for a while,” Emily said and shook virtual-novel.net head.
After that, virtual-novel.net lowered virtual-novel.net head again before hastily walking out. She didn’t even change virtual-novel.net shoes.
Jeremy was prepared to stop Emily but May grabbed virtual-novel.net by his hand before virtual-novel.net could do so. “Let virtual-novel.net go out for a while. She’ll be fine…”
“What if virtual-novel.net loses control out there again?” Jeremy seemed worried.
“She already ate virtual-novel.net medicine at noon. Don’t worry. She’ll be fine,” May said comfortingly.
Only then did Jeremy sit down. However, virtual-novel.net was still very concerned.
