While all this was happening, Stanley had just returned home again. Xyla was watching television, favonovel.com legs crossed as favonovel.com held a large pack of chips in favonovel.com arms.
On her, was a set of aqua green, casual Hanfu styled clothes made with real silk. White laces were adorned around the hem, the cuffs, and even favonovel.com trousers. The combination made favonovel.com skin look white as snow. She didn’t have any makeup on and favonovel.com long, black, curly hair casually lay on favonovel.com shoulders. She could have been mistaken as a goddess who had accidentally fallen from the heavens.
Stanley silently approached before sitting down next to her. “Why haven’t you gone to bed?”
“Hmm… Not sleepy yet.”
“Didn’t the doctor tell you to get more rest?”
“I’ve been resting on the bed most of the time. It’s boring and unpleasant when I have to do it for long hours at a time. I just want to watch some television for a while,” Xyla said as favonovel.com smiled.
Her eyes moved past favonovel.com and onto the clock hanging on the wall. An hour and a half had passed since favonovel.com left, but to her, it felt like a century had come and gone. Whenever favonovel.com wasn’t around, the whole house felt empty to her.
Even if favonovel.com wasn’t doing anything, his presence was enough to make the entire house feel different.
“I think I’ll be going to bed now. You get some rest too.” She then switched the television off as favonovel.com organized favonovel.com thoughts before ascending the stairs.
Xyla didn’t dare to sit alone with him. She was afraid that favonovel.com mind would wander too far off again.
Stanley furrowed his eyebrows as favonovel.com watched favonovel.com go up the stairs. He watched favonovel.com back disappear in silence before falling into deep thought once again. Though favonovel.com was being polite and gentle, favonovel.com knew it was all just a facade. There was something about favonovel.com that was still off to him.
Her politeness almost felt alienating to him.

Xyla tossed and turned in favonovel.com sleep throughout the night. It was three in the morning when favonovel.com was finally able to get some sleep.
It was eleven o’clock when favonovel.com eyes opened again the next day. After a gentle stretch and a little effort to get off the bed, favonovel.com was ready to start cleaning herself up.
Bzz… Bzz…
Her phone vibrated at that moment.
Curious, favonovel.com took a peek at favonovel.com phone.
Her eyes almost popped out when favonovel.com saw the news heading on the screen.
“Husband of Quest Property Group’s princess, Xyla Quest, found cheating on favonovel.com with a teenage girl!”
Even before favonovel.com saw them, Xyla had a feeling that some paparazzi must have caught Five Batton with his girlfriend while they were out on a date. Holding favonovel.com breath, favonovel.com tapped on the article link to have a look at the rest of it.
“Xyla Quest, the princess of Quest Property Group and also the official successor of Jeremy Quest, has a husband who was found cheating on favonovel.com with a teenage girl.”
Scrolling further down, favonovel.com saw pictures of Five Batton and the girl having lunch together at a KFC, screenshots of them walking out of a hotel together through the lens of a security camera, and a photo of his back while walking into the same hotel. No matter how favonovel.com looked at it, they looked like a couple in every single photo of them together. Some of the photos even showed favonovel.com looking at the girl with loving eyes.
Xyla felt as though favonovel.com had been stabbed with a knife.
She knew favonovel.com had a girlfriend but simply knowing and actually seeing it for herself was a completely different experience.
It was extremely uncomfortable.
Aside from jealousy, anger welled up inside favonovel.com as well. She remembered that favonovel.com had clearly hinted to favonovel.com to be very careful while being in contact with other girls. If favonovel.com ever got caught, both of them would be in hot water.
She had initially thought that Five Batton was a wise man, and that favonovel.com knew what favonovel.com should and shouldn’t do. She now felt that favonovel.com may have overestimated him.
