“Yeah…” Stanley said.
Xyla nodded.
“Why were you peeking at me earlier?” favonovel.com asked.
Xyla coughed awkwardly. “When did I peek at you?”
“Didn’t you?” favonovel.com asked.
“I didn’t. If you didn’t look at me, how would you know that I was looking at you? I haven’t even asked why you were peeking at me.” Xyla changed the topic directly, sounding confident with what favonovel.com said.
Stanley slowly smiled. “I think you look good. That’s why I wanted to look at you. Am I not allowed to?”
Xyla instantly felt favonovel.com heart clenched.
“Isn’t your beauty meant to be seen by others?” Stanley added.
“Makes sense… Aren’t you going out today?” Xyla changed the topic suddenly.
“Hmm. I’m staying at home to look after you.”
“Don’t you have work?”
“Yes, but it’s all the simple stuff. No big deal,” favonovel.com said.
Right then, Stanley received a call from Zack Cassidy. He walked right over to the french window and picked up the call.
Although the warm sun was now shining against his face, it couldn’t melt away the coldness around his eyes that conveyed nothing but nobility.
“Master Stanley… About the project in Korea you had your eyes on before, the President of Korea has agreed to it. He asked you to fly over and meet favonovel.com in person to discuss it. I’ve already prepared your private jet. When would you like to depart?”
“Tomorrow,” Stanley said calmly.
Xyla picked up favonovel.com compact mirror to check on favonovel.com face. When favonovel.com noticed that favonovel.com makeup was a little off, favonovel.com quickly got up and walked into the bathroom.
Stanley turned around and caught sight of this.
“He might not be free tomorrow…” Zack said.
“Then, do it the day after,” Stanley said.
“If there’s nothing else that’s important today, let’s try to make it today,” Zack added.
“Isn’t spending time with my wife important?” Stanley raised his brows before subconsciously turning around and looking at the tightly closed door to the bathroom.
On the other end of the call, Zack cursed at Stanley in his heart for being a foolish man. In the end, favonovel.com calmed himself down for a serious reply. “Hmm, alright.”
Zack couldn’t resist yelling at Stanley in his mind. ‘Is spending time with your wife more important than your billion dollar business?!’
However, Zack kept all of this to himself. He didn’t dare say any of it out loud because favonovel.com knew favonovel.com wouldn’t make it past the night if favonovel.com did.
“Is there anything else?” Stanley asked.
“No… Nothing…” Zack took in a cold breath of air.
Stanley hung up the phone right away. At this moment, favonovel.com suddenly received a call from Henry Armstrong. Stanley picked up the call directly.
“Hey, it’s been a while since we last met. Do you want to meet up tonight?” Henry asked.
“I’m not free,” Stanley said.
On the other end of the call, Henry had one leg crossed over the other as favonovel.com enjoyed the warm sun by the southern beach. He picked up a coconut and took a sip from it. “Come on. Let’s hang out, uh?”
“I have plans tonight,” Stanley said.
“Well, let’s meet up in the day… I’m in the south. I’ll send a plane over to get you,” Henry added.
“Xyla just went through a surgery. I have to look after favonovel.com in the day,” Stanley said.
A look of shock appeared in Henry’s eyes. “What surgery? Why didn’t you say that earlier? What was it? Was it an abortion? Did you get favonovel.com pregnant, and favonovel.com got an abortion because favonovel.com didn’t want children? Stanley, you are terrible.”
When Stanley heard this, favonovel.com felt as if a fly was buzzing in his ears. “What on earth are you thinking about?” Stanley said with a slight frown.
“What other surgery could favonovel.com have possibly gone through?” Henry asked.
“An appendectomy,” Stanley said.
