Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1065

"You're welcome. Work hard, Jay. I think you'll do great," Xyla Quest said.

"Alright," Jay Corben said.

After that, he got out of the car.

Xyla, on the other hand, quickly turned the car around and led the entourage of cars back to her house...

When she arrived home, Stanley Batton was already cooking in the kitchen.

The living room was filled with the faint smell of the smoke from the food.

The only thing in the world that soothed one's heart was the smell of home-cooked food.

Xyla's heart suddenly felt warm.

After putting down her purse, she went to wash her hands before walking into the kitchen...

At this moment, Stanley was standing in front of the stove as he flipped the braised pork over in the pot.

The meat seemed very enticing with its fine glow.

Stanley was still wearing a white shirt, black pants, and a black silk apron over his attire.

Clearly, he was only cooking, but he seemed like a male lead in a television drama series when he was doing it.

"Wait for dinner in the dining room... It's too oily and full of smoke here. It's bad for your skin." After saying that, Stanley gently lifted his head and glanced at Xyla.

Xyla smiled unconcernedly before walking over to him and hugging his waist from behind. "Why the fuss? I'm not afraid. Why are you home so early today?"

"I came back to make you dinner. After making dinner, I have to head back for a meeting," Stanley said.

"Since you still have work, you didn't have to come back to make dinner for me on purpose," Xyla said.

"Didn't you say you wanted to eat braised pork and steamed fish? And that I had to make it personally?" Stanley asked.

"I was just casually saying it. Isn't your company's stuff more important than cooking for me?" Xyla asked.

"Silly... Nothing in the world is as important as you. I'll do whatever I promised to do for you," Stanley said in a deeply loving manner.

This sentence was like a faint flowery fragrance concealed in the summer breeze. It immediately seeped into every part of Xyla's body.

After saying that, Stanley turned around and took Xyla into his arms. He affectionately caressed her hair. "Good girl... Go outside and wait for dinner," he said. "Alright..." Xyla obediently nodded. She then tiptoed and gave him a peck on the cheek.

After that, Xyla naturally wrapped her arms around his neck and looked up at his handsome face. "Stanley Batton," she said.

"Yes?" Stanley was a man of few words. Although he only uttered a single word, it was still extremely nice to hear.

Despite it being an ordinary glance into each other's eyes, Xyla still felt her heart slightly stirring.

After saying that, Stanley naturally pressed his forehead against hers.

"You're very good... I love you a lot," Xyla said.

"Me too..." Stanley said.

As soon as Stanley finished speaking, Xyla gently kissed him on the lips.

It was a very brief kiss.

Before Stanley could kiss her even more deeply, Xyla pushed him away directly. She patted her chest where she could feel her heart beating wildly before turning around and leaving. Stanley savored the kiss as he smiled a little. He stood still and gently touched his well-defined lips.

It was just a kiss, but it ignited an indescribable flame in his body.

When Xyla walked into the dining room, she saw that the table's setup had been changed. It had her favorite beige, baroque style, tasseled tablecloth.

There were five dishes on the table, all of which she liked, including steamed fish, stir-fried shrimps, beef marinated in black pepper sauce, stir-fried potato strips, and tomato soup with eggs. Each of these dishes exuded an attractive glow that made her drool.

To be honest, certain happiness in life was hidden in the three ordinary meals we had daily.

Beep, beep, beep-

Right then, Xyla's phone started to ring.

When she saw that it was a call from Georgie Clementine, she instantly picked up—

"Xyla, have a look at Weibo..." Georgie said.

When Xyla heard this, she seemed confused. "What's the matter? What happened?"
