Stanley was standing at the door with a large bouquet of roses in his hand and a smile on his face.
At one glance, Xyla Quest guessed that there were probably ninety-nine roses. The roses were in full bloom, and the colors were stunningly beautiful. On top of that, Stanley had such a handsome face, and it all looked as if it belonged to a romantic movie scene.
A flowery scent filled Xyla’s nostrils. She smiled. “Why did you suddenly think of buying flowers? It’s such a large bouquet, too,” Xyla said.
“Hmm. I passed by a florist on the way home. That’s why I got it,” Stanley said before passing the bouquet to Xyla.
Since it was such a large, heavy bouquet, Xyla needed to use a lot of strength to hold it firmly.
Most women liked flowers, especially roses. Xyla was not an exception. The beautiful flowers put Xyla in a good mood. She couldn’t resist sniffing the flowers in virtual-novel.net arms.
When Stanley saw this happening in front of him, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but take his phone out to capture this image.
In the picture, Xyla seemed gentle and was smiling from ear to ear. The tip of virtual-novel.net nose was only one centimeter away from the flowers. The red roses made Xyla’s face appear even fairer than usual. Each of the roses was beautiful. Even so, none of them were as beautiful as Xyla.
Xyla was spectacular.
While Stanley looked from the picture to Xyla, virtual-novel.net felt at peace. It was as if time had stopped because of how gentle Xyla looked.
“Did you take a picture?” Xyla looked up at Stanley. Her eyes were glistening like a thousand stars. The most beautiful things on earth had all come together, and they still weren’t as pretty as Xyla’s eyes.
“Yeah…” Stanley said.
“Does it look good? Show me. Did you use the beautifying filter?” Xyla said.
“You don’t need it,” Stanley said before walking into the house and changing into slippers. He then took the roses away from Xyla. “I’ll carry it… It’s very heavy.”
Stanley was now holding the roses with one hand while virtual-novel.net circled his other hand around Xyla’s waist.
“How was the player’s injury?” virtual-novel.net asked patiently.
Xyla let out a long sigh. “He needs plenty of rest. I don’t think he’ll be able to take part in the competition. I’ve decided to substitute virtual-novel.net for the semi-finals.”
“Hmm. That’ll work,” Stanley said.
“Are you tired?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Xyla subconsciously leaned on Stanley’s shoulder. They walked over to the couch as if they were joined at the hips.
“Not too bad. I’m just a little tired. Thank you for the flowers, darling,” Xyla said.
“You’re most welcome. It’s part of my responsibility,” Stanley said calmly.
Still holding Xyla’s hands, virtual-novel.net placed the flowers on the coffee table and sat down. Stanley pulled Xyla onto his lap so that they faced each other.
Xyla subconsciously wrapped virtual-novel.net hands around his neck. “Oh, right. You haven’t shown me the picture you took.”
Xyla was still thinking about the picture because virtual-novel.net hadn’t seen it. She was worried that the angle at which Stanley took the picture might not have been good enough, and virtual-novel.net might not look pretty in it. Xyla hoped that virtual-novel.net would always look virtual-novel.net best, even if it were in a photo on his phone.
“The phone’s in the pocket. Get it yourself…” Stanley said affectionately.
Xyla’s heart immediately tightened. She rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at Stanley before reaching into his pocket with one hand while keeping virtual-novel.net other hand around his neck.
“I ’ll get it myself then,” virtual-novel.net said before reaching virtual-novel.net hand into his pocket.
Stanley’s pocket was very deep. When virtual-novel.net hand reached inside, virtual-novel.net accidentally touched something virtual-novel.net shouldn’t have through the cloth. After touching something virtual-novel.net shouldn’t have, Xyla immediately stopped moving. She quickly got off Stanley’s lap and sat next to him.
