Chapter 179
“…” X Quest was at a loss for words suddenly.
“I’ll pay attention next time. What are we having for dinner?” Stanley Batton changed the subject
smoothly.

“What do you want to eat? I’ll make it,” X said. She seemedpletely unaware of the wound on
her hand.
Stanley had never met a girl like her from a wealthy family who was nowhere close to being
effeminate.
“What do you want to eat?” Stanley asked.
“I’m fine with anything. Just tell me what you want. I’ll make it,” X repeated.
“Stay here,” Stanley said before turning around and walking toward the kitchen with a smile.
“What about your elbow?” X asked.
“It’s fine,” he said.
“I’ll help you out,” X said before getting up and running after him.
However, as soon as she arrived by the door, the kitchen door was shut in her face.
After that, Stanley locked the door from the other side.
“Be careful with your elbow,” X said softly once she heard the clicking sound of the lock.
However, Stanley did not reply to her.
By now, X was getting used to Five Batton’s temper. She knew he would not open the door no
matter what. Therefore, she returned to the couch and sat cross-legged as she yed Honor of
Kings.
After X won three matches in the game, Stanley called out for her to dine.
X put her phone away before she washed her hand and walked into the dining room.
Right then, Stanley was standing at the dining table as he ced the cutlery in their rightful
positions. The sleeves of his ck shirt were rolled up to his elbows.
The white apron around him made him appear a lot more human-like.
However, even the simple white apron gave off a noble aura when Stanley wore it.
The dining table was covered with a green and white checkered tablecloth. On the table were four
steaming hot dishes filled with prawns in tomato sauce, scallion-grilled sea cucumbers, abalone
dipped in oyster sauce, mushroom colew, and ginseng chicken soup. The main course was
sausage fried rice.
In terms of the presentation of food and the choices of color, it all looked like a five-star restaurant.
X had never expected Stanley to be such a good cook. The smell of food was enough to make
her salivate.
“Five Batton, I didn’t think you could cook this well,” X said.
“Let’s eat,” Stanley said before sitting down as he began peeling arge prawn and putting it in her
bowl.
“I’ll do it myself,” X said as she sat down. She then used her chopsticks to pick up therge
prawn before giving it a taste. The blend of the prawn’s fresh taste and the sour taste of the tomato
was perfect. Due to the soft texture of the prawn, it was even more delicious.
This was the best dish of prawns in tomato sauce she had ever tasted. There was nothing to pick
on in terms of how it was cooked or the color of the dish.
“It’s delicious,” X gave Stanley the thumbs up.
“Have some more in that case,” Stanley said before cing another peeled prawn in front of her.
“I’ll do it myself. Your elbow hasn’t fully recovered yet. You can peel for yourself,” X said.
“Do you think your fingers are capable of peeling prawns?” Stanley asked calmly before he
continued to peel prawns.
“…Yeah.” Why could X not do it? All she had was a small cut on one of her fingers, not all of
them. Was this necessary?
“…” Stanley remained silent as he continued to peel prawns. He then ced the peeled prawns
back into the te.
When X offered to help, Stanley moved the entire te of prawns closer to him so that she could
not do so.
After a short while, all the prawns were peeled. It was now a te of peeled prawns in tomato
sauce.
“Just pick them up with your chopsticks,” Stanley said before pushing the te closer to her.
“Okay,” X said.
This man in front of her was very attentive. He was nothing like the gangster X had imagined him
to be.
While everything seemed peaceful here in the dining room, an entirely different scene was ying
out in another house—
