The Ugly Lady Strikes Back novel Chapter 675

“Okay…” Stanley Batton did not pursue the matter further. He got up from the couch and ordered, “Start the car, Zack. Let’s go buy the ingredients now.”

Subsequently, the two men left the house in a single file.

After Stanley left, Xyla fell into deep thoughts once again.

On the other hand, Zack Cassidy drove Stanley to a nearby supermarket. When the two of them had arrived, Stanley started grocery shopping under the watchful eyes of a group of bodyguards.

Zack pushed the cart behind him in silence.

One by one, Stanley compared the ingredients seriously and picked out the freshest ones.

All of the bodyguards were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Their faces were as pale as if they had seen a ghost.

Stanley first went to get Xyla’s favorite spicy soup base. Then, he proceeded to the frozen food section and carefully selected her favorite beef slices, tripe, and some duck intestines.

Looking at the ingredients gradually piling up in the shopping cart, the men could hardly stop exclaiming at what their Fifth Master was doing.

At last, Zack could no longer hold back his curiosity. He asked, “Don’t you hate duck intestines?”

“Well… Not anymore.”

“Why?”

“Because she likes it.”

Stanley’s charming looks had garnered a lot of attention from the girls around them, and the girls were silently fangirling over him. Though he stood among a crowd, there seemed to be a barrier that separated him from the others.

He paid them no notice as usual as if none of them was worthy of having his eyes on her.

“My goodness… That man is so handsome! He looks wealthy, but he’s actually shopping for groceries himself! He’s such a good man.”

Ignoring the whispering crowd, he held his phone firmly and strode past them.

“Get some fish balls for me. I have a craving for cuttlefish balls, beef balls, fish cakes, crab sticks, lobster balls…” Xyla blurted.

Without hesitation, Stanley headed to the fridges while memorizing the food listed by Xyla one by one. Putting on his Bluetooth earphone, he shoved his phone back into his pocket and began to pick the ingredients in earnest. “What else do you want? Do you want fruits?”

“No. That’s all.”

Looking up, he saw her favorite fruit, durian, next to the fridge. “Do you want some durians?”

“Nah.”

He slowly scanned the supermarket’s layout and found watermelons not far away from him. “What about watermelon?”

“I don’t want anything else. Just get the balls and come back, alright? I’m hungry,” Xyla said again.
