Stanley Batton was standing at the door with a large bouquet of roses in his hand and a smile on his face.
At one glance, Xyla Quest guessed that there were probably ninety-nine roses.
The roses were in full bloom, and the colors were stunningly beautiful. On top of that, Stanley had such a handsome face, and it all looked as if it belonged to a romantic movie scene.
A flowery scent filled Xyla’s nostrils. She smiled. “Why did you suddenly think of buying flowers? It’s such a large bouquet, too,” Xyla said.
“Hmm. I passed by a florist on the way home. That’s why I got it,” Stanley said before passing the bouquet to Xyla.
Since it was such a large, heavy bouquet, Xyla needed to use a lot of strength to hold it firmly.
Most women liked flowers, especially roses. Xyla was not an exception.
The beautiful flowers put Xyla in a good mood.
She couldn’t resist sniffing the flowers in her arms.
When Stanley saw this happening in front of him, he couldn’t help but take his phone out to capture this image.
In the picture, Xyla seemed gentle and was smiling from ear to ear. The tip of her nose was only one centimeter away from the flowers.
The red roses made Xyla’s face appear even fairer than usual.
Each of the roses was beautiful. Even so, none of them were as beautiful as Xyla.
Xyla was spectacular.
While Stanley looked from the picture to Xyla, he felt at peace.
It was as if time had stopped because of how gentle Xyla looked.
“Did you take a picture?” Xyla looked up at Stanley. Her eyes were glistening like a thousand stars.
The most beautiful things on earth had all come together, and they still weren’t as pretty as Xyla’s eyes.
“Yeah…” Stanley said.
Xyla subconsciously wrapped her hands around his neck. “Oh, right. You haven’t shown me the picture you took.”
Xyla was still thinking about the picture because she hadn’t seen it.
She was worried that the angle at which Stanley took the picture might not have been good enough, and she might not look pretty in it.
Xyla hoped that she would always look her best, even if it were in a photo on his phone.
“The phone’s in the pocket. Get it yourself…” Stanley said affectionately.
Xyla’s heart immediately tightened. She rolled her eyes at Stanley before reaching into his pocket with one hand while keeping her other hand around his neck.
“I’ll get it myself then,” she said before reaching her hand into his pocket.
Stanley’s pocket was very deep. When her hand reached inside, she accidentally touched something she shouldn’t have through the cloth.
After touching something she shouldn’t have, Xyla immediately stopped moving. She quickly got off Stanley’s lap and sat next to him.
