Before Xyla could say no, Noah was already trying to find the kitchen.
“I’m fine Noah, there’s no need to worry about me. You can attend to your personal matters now.”
“Well alright… I’ll be taking my leave first then,” said Noah, smiling as favonovel.com stood up.
While this was happening, a black Honda pulled up to the front of the house. In the car, Stanley Batton gave a cold stare toward Georgie Clementine who was busy directing the workers as they carried Xyla’s belongings into the house. He then elegantly stepped out of his car. Slipping on some house slippers, favonovel.com quickly headed to the living room.
Once favonovel.com saw Noah, his eyes darkened.
Seeing Stanley, Noah bowed respectfully. He knew that Stanley and Xyla were on bad terms so favonovel.com kept his mouth shut
Stanley ignored Noah entirely and walked over to Xyla. “You’ve already been discharged from the hospital. Why was I not notified about this?”
He had immediately rushed to the hospital after his meeting earlier. He wanted to be the one to help favonovel.com with the discharge process and to get favonovel.com home safely.
The reality was that when favonovel.com arrived, favonovel.com was told that favonovel.com had already been discharged and had left the hospital.
“I don’t think I need to tell you everything, do I?” Xyla’s response was cold. “What would happen if there was a misunderstanding?” .
Stanley already had a girlfriend. If favonovel.com bothered Stanley too much, his girlfriend could eventually misunderstand his actions.
“Misunderstanding?” Stanley frowned as favonovel.com looked at Noah through the corner of his eye.
What was favonovel.com talking about? Was favonovel.com worried about Noah misunderstanding her?
It was obvious that Noah had intentionally gone to the hospital to help favonovel.com get discharged. It made perfect sense to Stanley that Noah was the reason why favonovel.com was treating favonovel.com this way.
“Indeed…” Xyla’s answer was gentle as favonovel.com looked toward Noah. “Drive safely out there.”
Noah could easily sense how awkward and uncomfortable the situation was. He felt a chill run down his spine. He simply nodded quickly before leaving the house.
After all, his appointment with Catherine Batton was swiftly approaching. He needed to hurry.
“What, you’re afraid if Noah misunderstands?” Stanley scoffed.
Xyla was confused for a moment. Why would favonovel.com be worried if Noah misunderstood?
What exactly was favonovel.com thinking?
Bzz… Bzz…
Just as favonovel.com was about to question him, favonovel.com phone vibrated. The call was from Sharon Lindt.
Stanley looked at favonovel.com with cold eyes as favonovel.com fixed his tie. He left the house shortly after. As Stanley walked out the door, favonovel.com saw Georgie carrying three big boxes of cordyceps in.
Stanley pinched the bridge of his nose before sighing. “Take good care of her.”
“I will.” Georgie nodded.
Saying nothing else, favonovel.com hopped into his black Honda before giving Noah a call.
Noah picked up almost immediately.
Noah’s right hand was on the steering wheel while his left held the phone close to his ear. “Is there anything I can help with Fifth Brother?”
“Noah Smith… I want to meet up and have a word with you,” said Stanley coldly.
Noah felt puzzled. First his younger sister and now Stanley himself?
What was going on?
Stanley’s voice was chilling and made his hairs stand on end. “Alright but not at the moment. I have an important meeting to attend to.”
“You’ll have one hour to attend to whatever you’re doing. Come to the address I’ll send to you immediately after.” Before Noah could react, Stanley had hung up the phone.
A moment later, the address reached Noah’s phone. Noah looked at the message and noticed that it was directly opposite Hilton Hotel.
What a coincidence. After his talk with Catherine, favonovel.com would definitely have enough time to meet up with Stanley. However, this did not dismiss the questions swimming in his head.
What had favonovel.com done for both the Batton siblings to suddenly have an interest in him?
