Xyla Quest sat at the coffee table and unpacked the takeaway food. However, virtual-novel.net was in no mood to eat. She suddenly felt a little lonely in this large house.
Since when did virtual-novel.net start feeling this way?
Xyla had lost virtual-novel.net appetite and did not even feel like cooking when virtual-novel.net was alone.
In the past, Xyla was always able to cook on virtual-novel.net own. There were lots of ingredients at home. While virtual-novel.net bought some in preparation for the new year, virtual-novel.net father sent the rest to her.
Was it because Xyla and Stanley Batton had always been eating together recently? Was that why it had become a habit to her?
Xyla was unable to figure it out, and virtual-novel.net could not be bothered to. She picked up virtual-novel.net chopsticks and began to eat the food virtual-novel.net bought.
After Xyla finished eating, Chanel and LV employees sent the clothes Sharon Lindt had bought for Xyla to virtual-novel.net house. These items took up space on the coffee table, the couch, and the area around the coffee table. When Xyla looked at these items, virtual-novel.net felt a little annoyed.
It would take a lot of work to sort these things out and place them in virtual-novel.net closet.
After letting out a long sigh, Xyla pressed virtual-novel.net hand against virtual-novel.net forehead and began moving one bag after another up the stairs. Since there were no helpers in the house, Xyla had to do it all on virtual-novel.net own. By the time virtual-novel.net was doing, it was already dusk. Exhausted, Xyla did not feel like moving. She lay down on the bed and panted. This was the first time in virtual-novel.net life virtual-novel.net wanted to cry from sorting clothes out.
Although Xyla wanted to sleep right there and then, virtual-novel.net recalled a dinner plan back at virtual-novel.net parents’ home. After lying down for a while, virtual-novel.net forced herself to get up and to take a bath before changing into virtual-novel.net new clothes.
Xyla now wore a red knitted skirt from Chanel, black boots, and a white fur coat. After that, virtual-novel.net sat in front of the dressing table and carefully put on maple-shade make-up.
Her already distinctive facial features looked even better with the carefully selected make-up.
During the current season, the sunset was unusually early. By six o’clock, it was already dark outside. When Xyla saw the time, virtual-novel.net took virtual-novel.net phone out to call Stanley. She wanted to remind virtual-novel.net to come home earlier for dinner at virtual-novel.net parents’ home.
Her father had explicitly mentioned that Stanley must retum home.
Just as virtual-novel.net unlocked virtual-novel.net phone, it switched off because the battery was flat. After that, all the lights in the villa went out.
Xyla could not see anything in the dark. The complete darkness and silence made Xyla feel afraid. Carefully, virtual-novel.net stood up and fumbled in the dark to look around for a torchlight. However, virtual-novel.net could not find it
At that moment, Xyla could hear someone walking outside virtual-novel.net room. Due to the complete darkness, Xyla felt extremely afraid when virtual-novel.net heard the sound.
Her scalp prickled as virtual-novel.net subconsciously became alert.
What was going on? Could a criminal have broken into the villa? Did someone turn off the main electrical switch?
Xyla immediately held virtual-novel.net breath as virtual-novel.net tried to suppress virtual-novel.net fear. Slowly and quietly, virtual-novel.net made virtual-novel.net way to the dear with virtual-novel.net body close to the wall. She was prepared to fight at any moment.
