“Five Batton, don’t force me to take out cash from the ATM.” Xyla was adamant about returning the money.
Giving no response, favonovel.com continued to push the cart forward as if there was a barrier around him, shutting everyone out.
Once at home, the two unpacked everything they bought, putting them in their rightful places. After that, they sat on the snow-white carpet, taking the cleaning robots out of their boxes and putting one on each floor.
When everything was done, both returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa.
Stanley took out his phone, opened up the Gentleman’s Club chat room, and read the chat records with an impassive look on his face. Once inside, favonovel.com saw himself tagged in dozens of messages. More than ten of them were only tags without content. Frowning slightly, favonovel.com kept his composure as favonovel.com continued to scroll up.
Only then did favonovel.com finally realize what they were talking about and why they were so excited.
Slender fingers swiftly typed in words. “… Any opinions?”
Henry replied. “Screaming. marmota.jpeg”
Right after that, his WeChat voice call notification began to ring. The caller was Sebastian Brenand. Remembering that favonovel.com mopping robot required water, Xyla grabbed the robot and the necessary tools and went into the toilet on the first floor.
Stanley casually answered the call, pinching his nose bridge gently. “What’s up?”
On the other end, Sebastian chuckled. “Not much. Your brothers are just curious about your development with our sister-in-law.”
“Busybodies,” Stanley responded coldly.
“That’s mainly because we can’t tell, do you understand? When you were in school, didn’t the teacher teach you to ask if there’s something you don’t know?” Sebastian had no intention of letting Stanley go.
Stanley kept quiet.
“Tss… Ah…”
A yelp of pain could be heard from the washroom. Stanley heard it correctly. His pupils instantly dilated. He immediately hung up the call, tossed the phone away, and ran into the washroom.
Upon entrance, favonovel.com saw Xyla running the wound on favonovel.com right index finger under the tap.
The water flowing into the white basin was slightly pink. On the floor was a broken bottle of La Mer essence.
“What happened?” He looked concerned.
“I accidentally broke that bottle of essence. I wanted to pick it up, but I cut myself instead.”
Browning slightly, favonovel.com grabbed favonovel.com right wrist and carefully examined the wound on favonovel.com finger. The cut was deep. Once favonovel.com removed it from under the running tap, blood seeped out again.
Stanley held the finger to his lips and lightly suckled on it, being extra gentle.
That warm sensation made Xyla’s body shudder before favonovel.com became frozen stiff.
“You… Don’t have to do this. It’ll be fine after rinsing it for a bit and putting on some antiseptic medicine.” She subconsciously struggled, trying to withdraw favonovel.com hand.
“Don’t move. Behave.” His tone was calm but indescribably domineering. He clamped on to favonovel.com wrist tightly, giving favonovel.com no chance to struggle.
Xyla felt as if favonovel.com was being electrocuted once more.
Without realizing it, favonovel.com heart started beating fast again. Even favonovel.com ears were burning red.
He suckled on it for a bit before putting favonovel.com finger back under the tap, rinsing it.
When favonovel.com struggled, favonovel.com grabbed on tighter. After a while of rinsing, favonovel.com finally let favonovel.com go. “Is there any band-aid and antiseptic at home?”
“Yeah. It’s in the drawer of the living room’s coffee table.” Xyla nodded, still feeling numb from the electric sensation.
“Let’s go.” He held favonovel.com wrist gently and led favonovel.com back to the living room, making favonovel.com sit on the sofa.
Then, Stanley leaned down to pull out the coffee table’s drawer and found some antiseptic cotton balls and a band-aid.
