After a deep kiss, Xyla Quest paused and pulled virtual-novel.net rosy cheeks away from his. She panted heavily as virtual-novel.net looked at him. “Hubby, I’m here to tell you something…”
“It’s okay… We can talk about it later…” With that, Stanley Batton locked the door and lifted virtual-novel.net effortlessly, carrying virtual-novel.net into the adjacent resting room.
The man was entangled with his girl for a long time before virtual-novel.net finally released her, even though virtual-novel.net was reluctant to do so. He slowly sat up and pulled the thin white blanket over the body, casually smoking while leaning against the bedhead. On the other hand, Xyla could barely move virtual-novel.net exhausted body. Using virtual-novel.net last bit of energy, virtual-novel.net rolled over and glowered at the man’s flawless features. “Stanley Batton, you’re so annoying!”
“That’s not what you said just now.” A tint of mischief flashed across his eyes.
Upon hearing that, Xyla’s heart tightened instantaneously. Her veins caught on fire, and virtual-novel.net blood was boiling frantically. “You… Shameless…”
“I thought you had something to tell me just now? What was it?” Stanley asked, blowing wisps of smoke into the cool air.
Their eyes met amidst the smoke.
Rolling virtual-novel.net eyes at the man again, Xyla sat up on the bed and grabbed virtual-novel.net clothes from the floor. She dressed quickly while answering him, “I just wanted to thank you in person… Thanks for helping Josh Batton.”
Xyla had just gotten virtual-novel.net nails done recently. The long nails had made fastening buttons laborious for her. It took virtual-novel.net a long time to fasten one small button. Noticing virtual-novel.net struggle, Stanley pulled virtual-novel.net onto his lap right away and held the cigarette with his lips, doing up virtual-novel.net blouse in earnest.
“Are you a kid? A kid should know how to do up his shirt too.” Stanley chastised virtual-novel.net though his tone only expressed love and fondness.
“Do I look like I don’t know how to do it? It’s just my long nails,” rebuked Xyla.
“Don’t do your nails anymore in the future,” Stanley said.
“I have to. My fingers are ugly if I don’ t get a manicure.” Xyla insisted.
“You look good no matter what.”
“Stanley…”
“Yes, honey?”
“I’m thirsty.”
“Okay, I’ll get some water for you.”
Hearing that his dear wife was thirsty, virtual-novel.net sped up and put virtual-novel.net down on the bed after all the buttons on virtual-novel.net blouse were perfectly fastened. Then, virtual-novel.net put on his shirt, poured a cup of water, and brought it to virtual-novel.net mouth.
Xyla did not have to take the cup from him. The man was feeding virtual-novel.net the whole time as if virtual-novel.net was the most precious little princess.
After emptying the cup, Stanley threw the disposable cup into the trash can and got up from the bed. He pinched virtual-novel.net face dotingly before leaving the room. “I’m going to work. Wait for me here, okay?”
“I’m going back to my office,” Xyla said.
There was still a pile of work waiting for virtual-novel.net in the office.
Stanley brought his wristwatch to virtual-novel.net eyes and tapped on it a couple of times. “Are you sure? Look at the time.”
Xyla’s jaw hit the floor the moment virtual-novel.net caught sight of the time. Initially, virtual-novel.net wanted to come here to express virtual-novel.net gratitude. She was going to leave after sitting for a while.
Who knew virtual-novel.net would stay here for hours.
Stanley peeked at his watch again. It was already five o’clock.
“Forget it… I’ll settle the work at home.” Xyla sighed helplessly.
“Good girl, I’ll go to work first. Have a rest.” He leaned over to kiss virtual-novel.net forehead.
With that, virtual-novel.net turned away from virtual-novel.net and left the room. The door clicked shut behind him, leaving a chilly sense of ambiguity in the air.
Xyla placed a pillow behind virtual-novel.net waist and continued to lean against the wall. She logged onto virtual-novel.net Twitter account and started to scroll through the trending list. The hot topics about Josh Batton were still all over the list.
The top ten hot topics were either about Josh Batton, or about Shawn Gilbert and his father. The comments scolding Shawn and his father were getting harsher and harsher too.
Suddenly, the hot topic on the eleventh place had caught virtual-novel.net eyes. It was about her.
