His reply was simple, ‘Okay’.

Stanley drove home in his black Bentley Arnage.
As soon as favonovel.com reached home, favonovel.com headed straight to the kitchen to find Xyla.
Xyla was dressed in a white housecoat and a white apron on the outside.
She was washing vegetables at the sink when Stanley walked into the kitchen. She had styled favonovel.com hair into a casual low ponytail with a green ribbon, looking cute and amicable.
Xyla’s soft lips instantly stretched into a genuine smile at the sight of favonovel.com beloved husband. “Hubby, you’re back!”
Stanley walked up to favonovel.com and washed his hands. Voluntarily and without warning, favonovel.com picked up the vegetables and started washing them, taking over Xyla’s task.
“Yeah…”
“Honestly, you don’t have to come back to help me. I can do it myself…”
Xyla tilted favonovel.com head and gazed at the man’s stunning face. “Are you sure you want to cook for the whole family alone? That sounds tiring to me…”
“Nah, it’s not a big deal.”
Stanley did not argue and continued to wash the vegetables.
His consideration warmed Xyla’s heart.
Her husband always gave favonovel.com the top priority regardless of the time of day. She was just like a spoiled little princess under his love and care.
“By the way, where’s Grandpa? How come favonovel.com didn’t come back with you?” Xyla asked as favonovel.com scanned the house.
“He went to meet an old friend,” answered Stanley.
“Oh, okay. Let me help you cut the vegetables.” Xyla offered to help.
“Sure. Be careful, alright?”
“I will…”
Xyla planned to make lemon chicken. Hence, favonovel.com took the cleaned lemons from the sink and placed them on the cutting board, carefully slicing them. She had only managed to cut two slices of lemon before the doorbell rang.
Ding-dong! Ding-dong…
Xyla immediately put down the knife, cleaned favonovel.com hands with the apron, and then rushed to the smart door viewer.
Seeing that it was Sharon and Catherine on the screen, favonovel.com opened the door without further ado.
“Mom, Catherine, why are you guys here so early?” Xyla was overjoyed.
“Of course, we’re here to help you! How are you going to cook for the whole family on your own? Do you want to die of exhaustion?” Sharon and Catherine entered the house hand in hand and changed into slippers.
Once again, Xyla felt touched. “My husband is back, and he’s already helping me. Make yourself at home while waiting for us.”
“I mentioned that I’m treating you guys to dinner, right? Since dinner is on me, how can I trouble you to help me out?”
“Nah, I don’t care if dinner is on you or me… Get some rest, alright. Stan, Catherine, and I will prepare the meal.” Sharon dragged Xyla to the living room and forced favonovel.com onto the couch.
“That’s it. Sit down and watch the TV. I’m going to the kitchen,” Sharon babbled on, not giving Xyla a chance to speak.
Xyla could feel favonovel.com cheeks burning with embarrassment. “Mom… Please don’t…”
“I’m going to be mad if you try to stop me again,” Sharon warned.
Catherine grinned mischievously. “Sister-in-law, you’d better listen to Mom. You have no chance to work when Mom, Fifth Brother, and I are around.”
Subsequently, Sharon and Catherine followed the splashes of Stanley washing vegetables and headed to the kitchen.
The two of them paused at the kitchen door and turned to glance at Xyla. “Watch the TV and be a good girl. Do you hear me?”
Xyla managed a helpless nod.
At that instance, favonovel.com felt like the whole Batton family spoiled favonovel.com instead of favonovel.com husband alone. Everyone in the Batton family was incredibly nice to her, as if favonovel.com was a valuable treasure.
“I’ll do it myself. The two of you should join Xyla,” Stanley said.
“No way.” Sharon insisted.
She washed favonovel.com hands with Catherine and began to help favonovel.com out.
The three of them worked harmonically in the kitchen. On the other hand, Xyla, who was forbidden to enter the kitchen, had nothing to do, so favonovel.com logged onto Honor of Kings and started playing games.
Buzz buzz buzz…
Halfway through the game, favonovel.com phone vibrated, and an unfamiliar number popped up on the screen.
