“So, the dishes I made the other day were sweet?” exclaimed Xyla in disbelief.
If that was true, that would mean that everything she cooked had been inedible.
“Yeah,” replied Stanley softly. That sweet dinner had left a deep impression on him.
“It wasn’t edible at all, was it? I’m sorry.”
“It was delicious,” Stanley answered casually.
“How could it be delicious? I used sugar instead of salt!”
Although Xyla had never eaten dishes that only tasted sweet, she could imagine just how disgusting it
tasted. “I like sweet things,” he said.
Xyla felt warm inside. While Five Batton looked apathetic on the outside, he was quite a warm person
on the inside. He knew how to comfort and care for others.
“Alright, stop saying things you don’t mean. Be honest, you tossed away all the dishes that day, didn’t

“I didn’t,” he answered.
Xyla was stunned. “Did… Did you finish them?” she probed.
“Yeah…”
Xyla immediately gave him a big thumbs up.
“Amazing..!”
Pointing his chiseled chin at her lemon drink, Stanley changed the subject, “Try and see if it’s sweet
enough.”
Xyla took a small sip. The sweetness was just right. The mild fragrance of lemon mixed with a sweet
and sour taste spread inside her mouth. She smiled at him again, holding up a big thumbs up.
“Superb.”
He smiled and put the seasoning box away before returning to her side to drink his lemon beverage.
After finishing her drink, Xyla left. Once inside her car, she did not leave immediately, but sat there
looking at her phone instead. No one had contacted her, so she opened up Weibo to scan through the
hottest searches.
Upon entering the website, she could see that #TomSullivan sentenced to one month’s detention was
ranked second on the hottest searches. She clicked on it to take a look.
The first link was a statement by the police station in Tom’s resident district announcing his
punishment. It had been released at eight pm. Due to the peak timing, the accumulated comments had
exceeded five million. All this was to be expected, so Xyla was not too surprised.
Tom’s incident had garnered extensive attention from netizens. Every day, they would press the police
station for progress on this case. Hence, even if no one fueled the fire behind the scenes, this incident
would still make it into the hottest searches. Even if the Sullivan family wanted to suppress the news,
the police station wouldn’t dare anger the public.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEmotional comments were exploding in the comment section. Everyone berated Tom Sullivan like their
lives depended on it.
“A cheating and violent son of a b*tch! I hope you die on the spot. Stop wasting oxygen.”
“Today is another day of being annoyed to death by a Casanova. Wolent cheating demon, please die!
Bleurgh!”
“Listen up Casanova, although we didn’t attend your wedding, we’ll definitely bring flowers and wear
red dresses to attend your funeral.”
Xyla could not resist laughing as she read these comments. Turning her head, she noticed how
exceptionally beautiful tonight’s scenery was. Even the air smelled nice.
After heaving a long, comfortable sigh, Xyla exited the search result on Tom Sullivan and glanced at
the other topics on the search ranking. The top ten hottest searches were mostly occupied by Tom
Sullivan, Emily Quest, and the Sullivan family.
