Chapter 156


    “Here with a friend?” asked Stanley.


    X nodded. “Yeah.”


    “Is it the one who fought with you thest time? Or…?”


    “Yeah.”


    “Then, don’t stay out toote. Call me if anything happens,” he urged, showing no emotional


    disturbance in his eyes.


    X nodded, wondering if this fake husband of hers was being too concerned for her. Why did she


    get a feeling that he was like her real husband?


    “Alright. Five Batton, you do know that we’re just pretending, right?” said X as she searched his


    eyes.


    “Yeah,” he responded calmly.


    “That’s good then,” she replied.


    Saying nothing else, he moved his long legs to head outside. His back profile was more striking and


    dazzlingpared to models.


    Suddenly remembering something, X quickly jogged after him. The chilly north wind was blowing


    outside. Having abruptlye out from a warm ce, the stark difference in temperature made her


    shudder before her body got used to the cold.


    Just then, a ck Honda stopped at the entrance of the bar. Right before her eyes, Stanley got into


    it. She could vaguely see the three others she met earlier inside the car. The one driving was


    Sebastian Brenand.


    “Wait…” she called out, hurrying over and tapping on the window.


    Stanley quickly lowered the window and looked at her. “What’s up?”


    The other three upants of the vehicle exchanged meaningful nces.


    “I have something to say to you. Come outside,” said X.


    Stanley closed the window and got out.


    The gentle glow of the streetlight fell onto their heads, elongating their shadows. Seated in the front


    passenger seat, Henry secretly lowered the window a little and pressed his ear on the ss, trying


    to eavesdrop.

    “What is it?” asked Stanley.


    “I wanted to tell you that since your elbow is getting better, you can reduce the medication used


    when you soak your arm. Just put in two-thirds of the original recipe. And stop consuming the


    painkillers. If the pain is tolerable, try not to take the painkillers. It’s not good for the body,” urged


    X. Her tone was soft enough to melt ice.


    He nodded. “Okay. Is there anything else?”


    “Yeah. There’s something I’d like to ask you.”


    “Shoot.”


    X’s expression became solemn. “Did you tell them about our deal? Otherwise, why would


    Sebastian call me Sister-inw?”


    “I didn’t exactly tell them,” replied Stanley.


    X felt mildly irritated. Her defined eyebrows pinched together as she asked, “What do you


    mean?”


    “Sebastian just happened to see one of the messages you sent me,” he exined with a serious


    face.


    “Why didn’t you hide your phone?” asked X.


    Stanley held a hand to his forehead, feeling helpless. “Yeah, it’s my fault.”


    X looked worried. “Then, what do we do now? Are their lips sealed?”


    “Rx, no one dares to breathe a word about it,” Stanley assured.


    “Really?”


    “Yeah.”


    X let out a helpless sigh. “Alright then. I’ll trust you for now.”


    “Are you angry?” His eyes searched hers.


    X shook her head. “No.”
