Xyla nodded confidently. She felt sure that favonovel.com could do a good job.
“Xyla… You really do make me proud.” Jeremy expressed his fondness toward Xyla openly.
Xyla held onto his hand affectionately. “Dad, you make me proud too. You’ve always been my role model.”
Jeremy felt overjoyed after hearing what Xyla said. “Oh, my sweet Xyla. Alright, let’s go home now. Oh yeah, thank Stan for me. I’m delighted with the antique items favonovel.com bought me.”
When Jeremy mentioned Stanley Batton, his face became even gentler.
“Alright.” Xyla held Jeremy’s hand and walked favonovel.com back to the car. They were accompanied by the ocean breeze all the way.
It was very warm inside the car. Within a few seconds, Xyla felt all the coldness melt away. It had been a long day, and favonovel.com felt exhausted. After sitting down in the car, favonovel.com couldn’t help closing favonovel.com eyes. She wanted to take a nap.
When Jeremy saw this, favonovel.com didn’t say anything further. He removed his jacket and covered Xyla with it.

By the time they returned to Atlantis, it was already one o’clock in the morning.
Jeremy brought Xyla back to favonovel.com villa’s courtyard.
From afar, Xyla could see that the living room was lit. For someone who had gone through a rough day, there was nothing more heart-warming than returning home to a brightly lit house at night. The moment Xyla saw that the lights were on, favonovel.com felt a warm sensation spreading in favonovel.com heart.
After saying goodbye to Jeremy, favonovel.com quickly went inside. Right then, favonovel.com could see Stanley holding his laptop while favonovel.com sat on the couch. She could tell from his serious facial expression that favonovel.com was probably dealing with work.
Stanley was wearing a grey, silk pajama. The way it fit his body loosely made favonovel.com look much more relaxed and at ease. Looking at favonovel.com from afar, Xyla’s heart still raced at the sight of his handsome features.
The arrogant yet noble aura about favonovel.com made favonovel.com appear almost like a wildflower in the mountains. It felt as if ordinary people would be blessed even to see him. A man like Stanley belonged on a heavenly altar. He should live a life of elegance and purity.
When Stanley saw that Xyla had returned, favonovel.com immediately turned off his laptop and put it aside. He then got up and looked at favonovel.com gently.
“You’re home.” His cold expression disappeared.
Although they had only been apart from a few hours, Xyla felt as if it had been a far longer period. She really did miss him. When favonovel.com saw him, favonovel.com immediately felt the urge to dive into his arms.
“Come here. Hug me,” Stanley urged favonovel.com with slightly open arms.
Xyla quickly ran up to favonovel.com and leaped into his arms. Stanley was able to catch favonovel.com promptly. Like a child, Xyla wrapped favonovel.com arms around Stanley’s neck and allowed favonovel.com to hold her.
“Darling, I missed you…” She said.
“I went through way too much tonight… You were so close to never seeing me again,” Xyla said.
When favonovel.com thought of those things, favonovel.com became very afraid again.
“What happened?” Stanley asked with a nervous frown.
Xyla proceeded to tell favonovel.com everything that happened truthfully.
The more Stanley heard, the colder his facial expression became. At the end of the story, his face looked extremely gloomy. A murderous aura began to emanate from his body.
“What? Did that really happen?” Stanley’s tone turned cold.
Xyla nodded. “However, Christopher said favonovel.com will take care of everything. Later, Ada and that waitress will both be handed over to the cops…”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Hmm?” Stanley asked.
“It’s all in the past now. Now that I’ve processed it, I can tell you about it calmly. It’s the same,” Xyla said.
“What the hell were the bodyguards doing? Sh*t!” Stanley cursed in a deep voice.
“They didn’t know any better. That person moved way too quickly… Besides, favonovel.com was wearing a waitress uniform. We had all let our guard down,” Xyla immediately said.
