As soon as Xyla Quest finished speaking, Stanley Batton stood up and picked her up without saying a
word before placing her on a chair.
Xyla, who had just calmed herself down with much difficulty, began to feel her heart racing again.
“You… What are you doing?”
Stanley placed one hand on the table and the other on the back of Xyla’s chair, forming a circle around
her. He leaned slightly closer to look at her blushing face. “Sit still. I’ll get the door, okay?”
They were so close to each other that, if she looked up, she would be able to kiss his lips again.
Stanley’s facial features were like a celestial sculpture. His face would seem exquisite even when
magnified. There was not a single flaw on his face.
Ding-dong… Ding-dong…
The doorbell started ringing again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStanley looked at her deeply before slowly standing up and straightening his back. He then turned
around and walked away.
When Xyla saw him walking away, she suddenly found it much easier to breathe. The sense of
oppression surrounding her had disappeared as well.
Xyla immediately let out a long sigh. After that, she tried to breathe deeply to stop herself from thinking
about the images that made her heart race.
After glancing at the monitor, Stanley saw Georgie standing in front of the door. He pressed on a button
to unlock the gate.
“Who is it?” Xyla asked from the dining room.
“Georgie Clementine,” he said.
Xyla immediately stood up, holding onto the corner of the table. She then walked over to the entrance
and waited for Georgie. Although she was conscious and alert, she still felt very dizzy, and her legs
were weak. To avoid another accident, Xyla leaned against the wall directly.
Stanley instantly reached out to hold her.
Although Xyla wanted to stop him, Georgie walked in before she could do so.
When Stanley saw Georgie, he gave her a polite nod. Georgie nodded at him politely as well.
“You guys can chat. I’ll head upstairs. Xyla has had a little too much to drink. Please look after her,”
Stanley said.
“Sure,” Georgie said and chuckled.
After that, Georgie put on a pair of slippers before grabbing hold of Xyla. “President Xyla, why did you
drink so much?”
“It’s the NewYear’s… A joyous occasion,” Xyla said softly with a drunken voice that was inexplicably
charming.
Stanley silently let go of Xyla and turned around to head upstairs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGeorgie carefully helped Xyla over to the couch in the living room before they both sat down.
Xyla naturally leaned her head against Georgie’s shoulder. “Georgie, why did you suddenly come over
to my place? Why aren’t you at home with your parents?”
Georgie frowned unhappily. “I’ll spend time with them tonight. I’m here because there’s something I
need to tell you.”
“What is it?” Xyla asked before quietly closing her eyes.
Georgie immediately explained what happened between her and Fred Thomson to Xyla.
After listening to her, Xyla’s eyes widened instantly with shock and resentment. “What did you say? Is
Fred Thomson that kind of person?”
Xyla would never have imagined Fred to be such a perverted scumbag.
She was so angry that she felt as if her internal organs were going to explode.
