After that, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton returned to their house together.
After arriving home, Xyla felt exhausted.
She changed into her slippers before holding Stanley’s hand and walking over to the sofa to sit down.
Due to Sharon Lindt and the others’ hospitality, Xyla had eaten way too much during dinner.
Now, she was feeling bloated.
Naturally, she leaned against Stanley’s shoulder as she rubbed her stomach. “I’m about to explode…”
Stanley chuckled. “Exactly, right? My parents were just worried that you didn’t have enough to eat.”
Xyla nodded repeatedly. “Yeah… It’s true… I really love Dad and Mom so much…”
These were sincere words from Xyla’s heart.
She really did love everyone in the Batton family a great deal.
Stanley casually extended his hand and pulled Xyla into his arms. “Yeah… I know.”
Right then, twelve bodyguards dressed in black carried several boxes and entered the house…
As the things were all very expensive, each of them was very careful. They even had an intensely nervous look on their faces.
Those were all gifts from Sharon Lindt to Xyla.
When Xyla saw this, she immediately looked at them. “Bring these upstairs to my closet…”
After receiving the order, the bodyguards quickly carried the stuff upstairs.
Since there were many things, they had to make several trips to move everything upstairs completely.
Xyla let out a long, helpless sigh after seeing all the work they had to go through. After that, she leaned against Stanley’s chest. “I really don’t know how to repay your mother’s kindness… Honey…”
Stanley shook his head. “We’ll only have one…”
When Xyla heard this, she instantly pushed Stanley away with a confused look in her eyes. “Why?” she asked.
Stanley smiled again. “Giving birth is very painful. For the two of us, having one child is enough… As for whose surname the child takes after, I’ve already said it. Our family doesn’t care at all.”
Xyla felt touched by his words once again.
There weren’t many men in the world who were this considerate…
Suddenly, Xyla’s eyes filled with tears uncontrollably once more.
“Silly girl. What’s the matter? You look like you’re about to cry,” Stanley asked as he looked deeply at her and held her face.
After saying that, he naturally kissed her softly on the lips.
