In the next second, Xyla Quest’s heart started beating wildly…
“Honey… I really like the way you look when you’re shy.” Stanley Batton’s smile gradually widened.
“Really?” Xyla asked.
“Yeah. Apart from how you look when you’re shy, I also like…” Stanley trailed off.
“What else do you like?” Xyla asked.
“I like you in every way,” Stanley said in the most affectionate tone despite his serious facial expression.
At this moment, Xyla felt very touched. “You… Stop speaking, will you?”
“Okay.”
“Shut up,” Xyla said.
“Alright.” Stanley’s eyes were filled with affection.
Beep, beep, beep—
Right then, Stanley’s phone started ringing.
He immediately glanced at the screen.
When Stanley saw that the call was from the Vice President, Liam Smith, he calmly picked it up.
Xyla felt a little bored. Hence, she walked over to the window and looked out at the night scenery as the cold breeze blew against her.
Although the night scenery of the small city wasn’t as busy and crowded as Atlantis, it was very peaceful.
At one glance, there were very few people and cars on the road. It was very calming to watch.
However, since Xyla was used to the large city, she still felt a little not used to the empty streets.
After approximately ten minutes, Stanley’s call ended, and he walked up to her from behind.
“Liam also apologized to me… He felt very sorry,” Stanley added.
“This has nothing to do with him. He’s very innocent too…” Xyla said.
When Xyla put himself in Liam’s shoes, she felt that he probably wanted to kill that man…
What on earth was going on?
“Yeah… I said that too. He’s not to be blamed for this,” Stanley said.
Xyla nodded gently…
Beep, beep, beep—
Right then, Xyla’s phone started to ring once more.
The content that appeared on her phone screen filled her eyes with shock.
