“You’re part of the family. Why should you feel embarrassed?” Stanley asked blandly.
Xyla remained silent.
“Eat some beef, ” Stanley said before placing a slice of beef on Xyla’s plate.
“What do you think we should get Aunty Lindt… No, I mean, Mother… What should we get her? Do you know what virtual-novel.net needs?” Xyla asked.
“Yes,” Stanley said calmly.
“What is it?” Xyla’s face lit up with joy.
“She needs a grandchild. A grandchild from you,” Stanley said with an affectionate look in his eyes.
Xyla immediately felt virtual-novel.net heart tighten when virtual-novel.net heard this.
“What are you saying?” Xyla rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at Stanley directly. She then lowered virtual-novel.net head and continued to eat. “I’m not talking to you,” virtual-novel.net added.
“Embarrassed?” Stanley asked.
“Nobody’s embarrassed.”
“If you’re not embarrassed, why is your face red?” virtual-novel.net asked.
“My face is red because it’s hot, alright?” Xyla responded.
“Sure, whatever you say.”
After that, Stanley chuckled a little without realizing it. Xyla didn’t look up at him, and virtual-novel.net also didn’t say another word. Instead, virtual-novel.net ate silently. Occasionally, virtual-novel.net could sense virtual-novel.net looking at her. Whenever this happened, virtual-novel.net heart would clench. A single look from this man was enough to make virtual-novel.net heart flutter.
At seven o’clock in the evening, Xyla followed Stanley into his ancient, castle-like villa in the suburbs.
When virtual-novel.net walked in, Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, Josh Batton, and Catherine Batton were all seated on the couch.
Stanley held Xyla’s hand with their fingers interlocked as they walked up to his family.
When Sharon saw this scene, virtual-novel.net couldn’t suppress the joy in virtual-novel.net heart. She stood up right away and approached the couple before looking them up and down several times. “Stanley, this is the best thing you’ve done this year, and I’m extremely happy about it. You’ve finally won over Xyla’s heart. It’s worth celebrating.”
Josh politely nodded at Xyla while Catherine waved excitedly at her. Wilson also stood up and walked over to Xyla with a smile on his face, and his hand extended. “Xyla, nice to meet you. I am Wilson Batton, the father of this little b*stard, Stanley, husband of Miss Sharon Lindt, and your father-in-law.”
The way Wilson introduced himself instantly made Xyla feel much closer to him. Xyla could sense that virtual-novel.net father-in-law liked virtual-novel.net a lot. She instantly shook his hand. “Father, nice to meet you…”
“Good girl,” Wilson said with a pleased look.
His daughter-in-law was good-looking, gentle, and stately. Who wouldn’t like her?
Wilson had indeed seen pictures and footage of Xyla before, and virtual-novel.net could already tell virtual-novel.net was a beautiful woman then, but virtual-novel.net seemed even prettier and fairy-like in person. The longer Wilson looked at Xyla, the more virtual-novel.net thought virtual-novel.net was a perfect match for his son.
Everyone, including Josh, was smiling when they saw Stanley and Xyla holding each other’s hand tightly. However, unlike the others, Josh’s smile was very much forced.
“Xyla, I’m very sorry for keeping it a secret from you before…” Sharon said genuinely.
Xyla shook virtual-novel.net head. “Stan had already explained everything to me. I understand…”
Sharon ruffled Xyla’s hair affectionately. “I’ve personally prepared dinner. Come on, let’s eat.”
Just as Sharon finished virtual-novel.net sentence, Catherine immediately stood up and affectionately grabbed Xyla’s arm. “Come, Sister-in-law. I’ll show you where you can wash your hands.”
