There was quite a distance between Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton, making it difficult for favonovel.com to hear what exactly favonovel.com was talking about with the person on the call. However, from the changes in his facial expression and judging by the tone of his voice, Xyla was fairly certain that Stanley was talking to his girlfriend.
Perhaps they had agreed to go somewhere together today, but they had to cancel their plans because of her. Xyla’s heart began to ache while favonovel.com thoughts went wild.
Stanley hung up the phone and walked over to Xyla before sitting down once more. “Are you hungry? I’ll get something for you,” favonovel.com said.
Xyla looked away so that favonovel.com couldn’t see the disappointment in favonovel.com eyes. “It’s okay. Georgie will be here soon. You can leave now. You’re not needed here anymore,” favonovel.com said blatantly.
Her cold attitude made Stanley frown again. “What’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing. I just want to be alone. Hurry along and leave now,” said Xyla.
“There’s something you’re not telling me.” He pressed on.
“I’m being serious. I’m tired. I just want to rest for a while… Hurry up and attend to the things you need to do. I’ve kept you here long enough.”
After finishing favonovel.com sentence, Xyla turned to face the window, favonovel.com back facing Stanley.
“Why are you suddenly being so distant?” Stanley raised a brow slightly as favonovel.com gazed at favonovel.com back.
“I’m just tired…” Xyla said as favonovel.com closed favonovel.com eyes.
“…”
Stanley became quiet. He frowned and continued to silently watch over favonovel.com back. For some reason, favonovel.com could sense that something had definitely changed in her, though it was subtle. He couldn’t point out what exactly the change was, but favonovel.com new something was amiss. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding between them which caused this.
About half an hour later, Georgie Clementine arrived with a fewbags of supplies. She rushed to the bed as soon as favonovel.com walked through the door and placed the things favonovel.com had brought on the nightstand.
Since Xyla’s back was facing her, Georgie assumed that favonovel.com must have fallen asleep. “Is favonovel.com asleep? How is favonovel.com doing?” Georgie asked Stanley.
“Yeah,” was Stanley’s only reply as favonovel.com continued to look at favonovel.com back.
Beep, beep, beep…
It was a call from Zack Cassidy. After looking at Georgie, favonovel.com walked over to another bed and picked up the call with a serious expression on his face.
“Fifth master, there’s an important document that you need to go through. Where are you?” Zack asked.
“Got it. I’ll be there soon,” Stanley said.
After hanging up, Stanley looked at Xyla one final time before looking at Georgie, his expression cold as usual. “Please take good care of her. I have to leave to deal with something at the moment,” favonovel.com said.
Xyla slowly opened favonovel.com eyes. She thought to herself that his girlfriend must have been looking for him. After letting out a heavy sigh, Xyla closed favonovel.com eyes again without saying anything.
Georgie nodded slightly.
Stanley took his black coat which favonovel.com had draped over a chair earlier, before quickly putting it on and walking away.
After favonovel.com left, Xyla opened favonovel.com eyes and lay on favonovel.com back before looking at Georgie. “Georgie… I really think you should hire a caregiver for me. I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to look after me.”
“I don’t trust caregivers at all. Oh right, what’s going on between you and Five Batton? Did you two argue or something?” Georgie asked, confused.
For some reason, Georgie felt that something had happened between Xyla and Stanley. When Georgie first walked in, favonovel.com thought Xyla was asleep since favonovel.com had favonovel.com back facing Stanley. If favonovel.com wasn’t asleep, why would favonovel.com have favonovel.com back facing him, and why didn’t favonovel.com say anything?
Moreover, Xyla had never asked for a caregiver when favonovel.com was injured previously. Five was the one who looked after her. What made this time different?
“No…” Xyla simply shook favonovel.com head.
