"You're part of the family. Why should you feel embarrassed?" Stanley Batton asked blandly.
Xyla Quest remained silent.
"Eat sbeef," Stanley said before placing a slice of beef on Xyla's plate.
"What do you think we should get Aunty Lindt... No, I mean, Mother. What should we get her? Do you know what she needs?" Xyla asked.
"Yes," Stanley said calmly.
"What is it?" Xyla's face lit up with joy.

Xyla immediately felt her heart tighten when she heard this.
"What are you saying?" Xyla rolled her eyes at Stanley directly. She then lowered her head and continued to eat.
"I'm not talking to you," she added.
"Embarrassed?" Stanley asked.
"Nobody's embarrassed." "If you're not embarrassed, why is your face red?" he asked.
"My face is red because it's hot, alright?" Xyla responded.
"Sure, whatever you say." After that, Stanley chuckled a little without realizing it.
Xyla didn't look up at him, and she also didn't say another word. Instead, she ate silently.
Occasionally, she could sense him looking at her.
Whenever this happened, her heart would clench.
A single look from this man was enough to make her heart flutter.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Xyla followed Stanley into his ancient, castle-like villa in the suburbs.
When she walked in, Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, Josh Batton, and Catherine Batton were all seated on the couch.

When Sharon saw this scene, she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart. She stood up right away and approached the couple before looking them up and down several times. "Stanley, this is the best thing you've done this year, and I'm extremely happy about it. You've finally won over Xyla's heart. It's worth celebrating." Josh politely nodded at Xyla while Catherine waved excitedly at her.
Wilson also stood up and walked over to Xyla with a smile on his face, and his hand extended. "Xyla, nice to meet you. I am Wilson Batton, the father of this little b*stard, Stanley Batton, husband of Miss Sharon Lindt, and your father-in-law." The way Wilson introduced himself instantly made Xyla feel much closer to him. Xyla could sense that her father- in-law liked her a lot.
She instantly shook his hand. "Father, nice to meet you." "Good girl," Wilson said with a pleased look.
His daughter-in-law was good-looking, gentle, and stately. Who wouldn't like her?
Wilson had indeed seen pictures and footage of Xyla before, and he could already tell she was a beautiful woman then, but she seemed even prettier and fairy-like in person. The longer Wilson looked at Xyla, the more he thought she was a perfect match for his son.
Everyone, including Josh, was smiling when they saw Stanley and Xyla holding each other's hand tightly. However, unlike the others, Josh's smile was very much forced.
"Xyla, I'm very sorry for keeping it a secret from you before..." Sharon said genuinely.
Xyla shook her head. "Stanley had already explained everything to me. I understand." Sharon ruffled Xyla's hair affectionately. "I've personally prepared dinner. Con, let's eat."
Just as Sharon finished her sentence, Catherine immediately stood up and affectionately grabbed Xyla's arm. "Come, Sister-in-law. I'll show you where you can wash your hands." X
