“What about our marriage? Did Grandpa ask you to marry me because of my blood?” Xyla got straight to the point.
“Yes…” Stanley replied truthfully, after which favonovel.com took a puff at the cigarette.
His curt answer made Xyla’s heart skip a beat.
Xyla subconsciously took a deep breath before continuing, “Is that why you tried to approach me using every possible means in the first place? Are you nice to me because of my blood? You want to keep me by your side as your blood supplier, am I right?”
Hearing this, Stanley frowned slightly.
The puzzlement in his eyes gradually intensified. “What? Who the hell told you this kind of nonsense? How can you believe such a thing about me?”
Xyla kept a straight face the entire time. “You don’t have to know who told me that. I’m asking you right now. Answer me… Yes or no?”
Irritated by Xyla’s accusation, Stanley grumpily puffed at the cigarette a couple of times and threw it out of the car window.
He then turned Xyla’s body to him, his hands on favonovel.com shoulders. “Look me in the eye, Xyla…”
Xyla lifted favonovel.com head warily, anticipation and apprehension stirring within her. Her heart threatened to escape through favonovel.com throat.
“That’s not true… As I told you before, I tried to approach you simply because I had a thing for you…” Stanley wore a serious expression as favonovel.com clarified himself.
Xyla immediately played the audio clip on favonovel.com phone. “How do you explain this recording then?”
In the very next second, his conversation with Ron Batton echoed in the car. The unexpected recording threw Stanley into a state of total confusion.
Xyla studied his expression. The suspense in favonovel.com heart had finally found its peace at the sight of the man’s reaction.
“What is this? Where did you get it from?” Stanley asked.
“Someone sent it to me…”
“Would you believe me if I say that I’ve never had such conservation with Grandpa?” Stanley questioned favonovel.com without turning an inch.
“Really?” Xyla asked.
“I’m serious.” Stanley’s eyes were filled with only determination as favonovel.com spoke.
Xyla was so relieved to find his explicit denial and sincere expression. It was such a great weight off favonovel.com mind. It seemed that his reaction was genuine. She was convinced that favonovel.com was not acting.
“Where did you get this recording from?” Stanley pursued. “Is this why you went missing for the whole day and refused to go home?”
“Yeah…”
“Someone must have faked the recording. I swear I’ve never said anything like that to Grandpa. I’ll get this recording identified right now. It really isn’t me… Please believe me, okay?” Stanley looked stern and solemn.
His unblinking eyes were locked upon Xyla’s, hoping to find a sign of trust from her. Ever since favonovel.com was a kid, favonovel.com had everything under his control. He was very much like an aloof and remote king, overlooking his men from high above.
He hardly understood what it meant to be flustered. However, at this moment, favonovel.com broke out in a cold sweat, waiting for favonovel.com response.
“Honey, I love you… I’d be struck by lightning if I ever get annoyed by you!” Stanley devoutly swore as favonovel.com raised his middle three fingers in the air.
Xyla could not deny that there was no sign of deceitfulness in his eyes nor his expressions.
