Both appearances could destroy cities, but they were of different types. One was so handsome that he
had a strong, pressuring aura, while the other was so handsome that he seemed completely harmless.
One was apathetic and aloof, the other was warm and pure.
“Why are you here? You got them to bring me over urgently, what for?” Josh was a tad annoyed.
How could Stanley do this? The man forcefully interrupted Josh’s date, ignored everything else, and
simply got someone to drag him out of the restaurant.
“Why did you ignore Zack’s calls?” Stanley took a long draw of his cigarette before slowly breathing it
out. Under the haze of smoke, unreadable emotions surged behind his dark eyes.
“I didn’t turn on my phone during work I saw the missed calls after work, but because I had more
important business to attend to, I forgot to call him back,” Josh answered honestly.
“Your so-called important business was a date with Xyla Quest?” Stanley asked.
“Huh..? Why do you seem to know my exact whereabouts? Did you get someone to follow me? Why?

“Don’t you try to start anything. Why would I waste time getting someone to track you?” Stanley
responded faintly. He stubbed out his cigarette and tossed it into the garbage can outside the car with
great precision.
“Start something? What was I trying to start?”
Josh had no idea what his brother was talking about. He had been busy with work recently and hadn’t
done anything at all.
“Could it be because I confessed to Xyla on Twitter? What’s that got to do with you?” Josh looked
confused.
“You disapprove of me liking a married woman? Xyla’s husband is practically non-existent. That man
doesn’t treather well. They’re in an open relationship and will divorce very soon,” he blurted out.
Stanley raised a defined eyebrow as his cold gaze fell on Josh’s face. “Did you just confess to her?”
“Yeah, but I got rejected.” Josh let out a long, helpless sigh.
Stanley’s attractive forehead gradually relaxed and his expression seemed more at ease.
“I’m not sure if that guy’s eyes are damaged. How could he push aside such a divine beauty? If his
eyes are damaged, I suggest he donate them,” Josh added.
At this, Stanley’s just relaxed eyebrows pinched together once more. His expression darkened.
“Say that again…” Stanley looked apathetic.
“I said, I suggest that guy donate his eyes.” Josh did not notice Stanley’s expression at all. “I don’t even
know what he looks like, who he is, and what kind of divine looks he has. How dare he be so arrogant!
I’d really like to take care of him.”
“You can try taking care of me,” Stanley snapped, gritting his teeth.
At this, Josh’s heart immediately fell into his stomach. A thought flashed in his mind. “Could Xyla’s
husband possibly be you?” he asked.
Stanley kept quiet. His silence was a sign of agreement. Josh’s eyes were filled with disbelief. “Is it
really that much of a coincidence? She’s that wife of yours?”

“Stay away from her in the future,” said Stanley. His eyes flashed with a stern warning.
“Don’t you dislike her?” Josh asked.
“I don’t like repeating myself twice. Do you hear me, Josh Batton?”
Stanley glared sternly at him with a dangerous aura in his eyes, as if he was a leopard protecting his
prey. The atmosphere inside the car became heavy. There was a strong sense of oppression in Stanley
eyes and his aura was on full blast, subduing Josh completely.
“It looks like you like her now,” said Josh, smiling bitterly.
It was as if a pair of hands had suddenly barged into his chest and simply tore his heart away. His
chest was now left completely empty. Since Stanley liked her, Josh had to back down. Because Stanley
was his older brother. Even if just letting go of Xyla like this was hard for him, it must be done.
As Josh had not answered his question, Stanley asked again, “Do you understand?”
The color in Josh’s eyes had faded away. “I… I got it… Have you guys met? Does she now know who
you are?”
