Xyla struggled to get up, but Stanley forcefully pressed favonovel.com down onto his lap. “Be good… Wait for me, hmm?”
Now, Xyla suddenly felt awkward and embarrassed as favonovel.com face turned red. His embrace was making favonovel.com heart beat so fast favonovel.com felt as if it would soon leap out of favonovel.com chest. The gazes of people in the computer screen made favonovel.com feel even more nervous.
“You’re in a meeting. Can’t you be more serious?” Xyla bemoaned.
“How am I not being serious?” Stanley retorted with a serious look in his face before turning to face the people in his computer screen. “Let’s end the meeting for today.”
People in the meeting room looked at one another.
Stanley turned off his laptop right away before unplugging his earphones. “Let’s go out and eat,” favonovel.com said as favonovel.com looked at Xyla.
Xyla quickly got up from his lap. “I’ve already made dinner.”
“Who said you could cook?” Stanley asked.
“My body is almost fully recovered. Why can’t I cook?” Xyla said.
“Even if it’s almost fully recovered, you still aren’t allowed to cook,” favonovel.com said.
Xyla was speechless.
“Come on, let’s go down and eat,” Stanley said as favonovel.com casually reached for favonovel.com hand and walked downstairs with her.

Meanwhile, the high-level executives in Dragon Group’s upper management meeting room were in a state of uproar.
“We’re not even done with the meeting yet. How can our CEO do this?”
“He was never like this…”
“He’s head over heels in love, and favonovel.com no longer takes his work seriously…”

After walking into the dining room, Xyla and Stanley sat down from across each other at the dining table. When Stanley saw the dishes Xyla made, favonovel.com smiled without realizing it. “Not bad…”
“Eat more in that case,” favonovel.com said.
“Oh right. Come home with me tonight,” Stanley said.
“Home?” Xyla seemed dubious.
“Yeah. My mother has already met you. You still need to officially meet my father, right?” Stanley added.
“Okay… I have something to bring for Aunty Lindt anyway…” Xyla said.
“Aunty?” Stanley looked up at Xyla.
“Uhm… Mother…”
“Do you mean the antique items you bought off the auction?” Stanley asked.
“Yeah.” Xyla had been wanting to deliver those items to Sharon, but every time favonovel.com offered to do so, Sharon would say favonovel.com wasn’t in Atlantis.
In the end, these items were still with Xyla. Today, the opportunity had presented itself.
“Those are gifts from favonovel.com to you,” Stanley said.
“Gifts for me?” Xyla seemed shocked.
How could Xyla accept such expensive gifts?
“Why else has favonovel.com been refusing you all this time?” Stanley said.
“Does that mean favonovel.com did it on purpose?” Xyla was dumbfounded by how Stanley and his mother would do anything to give favonovel.com things.
“Why else?” He said calmly before grabbing some vegetables with his chopsticks and placing them on favonovel.com plate.
Xyla felt truly shocked… She was shocked by the extreme measure favonovel.com mother-in-law had taken to give favonovel.com gifts. Sharon sure knew how to get favonovel.com own way.
“They’re too expensive. I can’t keep them…” Xyla said.
“Those are gifts from your mother-in-law. You must keep them. Otherwise, she’ll be mad,” Stanley said.
“I really do feel embarrassed,” Xyla said.
