Emily instantly stopped walking and turned virtual-novel.net head to listen to what they were saying carefully.
“You seem to be getting better… But you should still be careful…” Ron said seriously before letting go of Stanley’s hand.
“Okay,” Stanley said.
“However, based on the amount you need now, that person probably won’t be able to satisfy you. In the end, you still need Xyla. I think you should talk to virtual-novel.net about this…” Ron added.
“We’ll talk about it when the time comes,” Stanley said.
“Sigh… I know you aren’t willing to use virtual-novel.net blood, but even so, you still have to in the end…” Ron said.
“Let’s not talk about it now…” Stanley let out a long sigh.
“I’m really happy to see you two getting along so well now. My efforts to get you two to be together weren’t a waste. You can only continue to live well with Xyla by your side…” Ron added.
Stanley didn’t say anything. Instead, virtual-novel.net silently poured himself a cup of tea and finished drinking it.
Outside the door, Emily seemed shocked.
What did their conversation mean?
Why did it sound like there was an ulterior motive for Stanley to marry Xyla and that the Batton family was so nice to Xyla?
Why did it sound like they were doing it for Xyla’s blood?
Most importantly, it sounded like Xyla had no idea about their motive. From what they said, Stanley seemed to need Xyla’s blood to continue living.
Could it be that Stanley was nice to Xyla not because of love but because virtual-novel.net wanted to get virtual-novel.net blood?
This must have been the case.
When Emily thought of this, virtual-novel.net secretly began to feel happy. She really wanted to find out how Xyla would feel once virtual-novel.net realized virtual-novel.net husband married virtual-novel.net and was nice to virtual-novel.net with an ulterior motive.
The more Emily thought about this, the more excited virtual-novel.net became.
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard.
Emily immediately came back to virtual-novel.net senses and started walking back to virtual-novel.net room.
Just as Xyla got upstairs, Emily disappeared around the corner.
The two sisters narrowly missed bumping into each other!
Xyla directly walked back to the room the men were in and back to virtual-novel.net seat.
When Stanley saw her, virtual-novel.net immediately stood up and returned to Xyla’s side while hugging Xyla by virtual-novel.net shoulder.
“Were you bored downstairs? Why did you come back so soon?” He asked.
“Yeah. It’s a little cold… I don’t know what’s wrong with the weather this year. It’s very abnormal. Although it’s almost summer, it still feels cold at night,” Xyla said.
Stanley immediately held virtual-novel.net hand.
Sensing the coldness of virtual-novel.net hand, Stanley took his jacket off and wrapped it around Xyla’s shoulders.
Xyla could feel his warmth through the jacket. The warmth gradually spread throughout virtual-novel.net body until it reached virtual-novel.net heart. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net no longer felt cold.
“Alright. It’s getting late. Let’s leave… Go home and rest,” Ron stood up and said.
Xyla and Stanley held each other’s hand and stood up.

The next day, in X Entertainment.
In the CEO’s bright and spacious office, Georgie Clementine was going through a large pile of documents at virtual-novel.net desk with a serious look on virtual-novel.net face.
She was wearing a set of sapphire-blue formal attire with a white shirt on the inside. With intricate makeup, and virtual-novel.net hair pulled back into a bun, Georgie seemed fresh yet experienced. She also looked bright and attractive.
Knock, knock, knock…
