Stanley, who sat next to Xyla, calmly and slowly ate a mouthful of noodles. “I’m glad you like it.”
“I love it, Five Batton. You are definitely the best cook among the men I’ve met, ” Xyla complimented.
It seemed like there was nothing Stanley couldn’t do well. Everything virtual-novel.net did, virtual-novel.net did it perfectly.
“Hurry up and eat. After dinner, go to bed,” virtual-novel.net said.
Xyla nodded and continued to eat virtual-novel.net bowl of noodles. She alternated between a mouthful of soup and a mouthful of noodles. Every mouthful warmed virtual-novel.net heart and stomach. “Your noodles taste very good,” Xyla said while virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net ears felt piping hot. What was going on with virtual-novel.net tonight? Why couldn’t virtual-novel.net say things normally?
“Didn’t you say the noodles I made tasted good? Why aren’t you eating?” Stanley asked.
“I’m eating now…”
“Alright, come on.”
Xyla kept virtual-novel.net head lowered without saying anything as virtual-novel.net continued to eat. It felt as if virtual-novel.net heart would soon pop out of virtual-novel.net chest.
‘Is virtual-novel.net flirting with me?’
After taking a deep breath, Xyla avoided his gaze at all costs and proceeded to drink the soup in the bowl.
Stanley became quiet and ate his bowl of noodles next to her. He seemed very well-mannered when virtual-novel.net ate. Even if it was a simple noodle meal, virtual-novel.net made it seem as if they were eating at a five-star hotel.
After finishing virtual-novel.net bowl of noodles, Xyla quickly carried virtual-novel.net bowl into the kitchen. Stanley immediately stood up and grabbed hold of virtual-novel.net bowl. “Leave it. I’ll take care of it. Go to bed,” virtual-novel.net said.
“Okay, goodnight.” Xyla was still avoiding his gaze. She turned around and headed upstairs directly. Her heart was still pounding abnormally fast.
As Stanley watched virtual-novel.net leave, his smile deepened. His brows seemed to relax gently.
Once Xyla returned to virtual-novel.net room, virtual-novel.net could still feel virtual-novel.net heart racing. Frantically, virtual-novel.net leaned against the door and wouldn’t stop panting. Their awkward conversation earlier kept replaying in virtual-novel.net mind. She really had gone mad tonight.
After standing still for a long while, Xyla finally calmed down. She then walked into the bathroom, brushed virtual-novel.net teeth, and returned to virtual-novel.net room. Now, virtual-novel.net lay on virtual-novel.net bed, surrounded by silence in virtual-novel.net room.
When alone in a quiet environment, one’s mind always wandered. After turning the lights off, Xyla’s mind became clouded with all sorts of thoughts once more.
She had six days left before meeting virtual-novel.net husband, a man virtual-novel.net had never met since they married. Once they met, virtual-novel.net would have to lay virtual-novel.net cards on the table.
Xyla felt certain that the man would agree to virtual-novel.net request without hesitation. After all, virtual-novel.net had never been interested in virtual-novel.net despite being married to each other for so long. Truthfully, Xyla did feel a little curious about that person. She wondered what virtual-novel.net looked like.
When Xyla thought of virtual-novel.net master, virtual-novel.net felt an even greater sense of mixed emotions. Up until now, virtual-novel.net still couldn’t get rid of the feeling of guilt from betraying virtual-novel.net master. Whenever virtual-novel.net thought about it, virtual-novel.net would feel distraught

When Xyla woke up the next morning, virtual-novel.net received good news.
