Chapter 181


    “Emily, I’ve got an idea,” May Conner said as a sly look appeared in her eyes. She looked around at


    the living room to check if anyone was near.


    “What is it?” Emily Quest moved her head a little closer to May.


    ***


    Still full of anger, Jeremy Quest walked all the way to X Quest’s house and stopped in front of the


    door.


    Since it felt suffocating to stay in his own house, Jeremy did not want to go back for now. Therefore,


    he thought of spending the night in his elder daughter’s home.


    Now, X’s home was the only safe and warm ce for him.


    Jeremy pressed the doorbell.


    “Ding-dong… Ding-dong…”


    X and Stanley Batton were still eating in the dining room. When they heard the doorbell, Stanley


    was the first to stand up.


    “I’ll get the door,” he said.


    “Let me do it. You can continue eating,” X stood up directly before walking over to the entrance


    area. She looked at the monitor to see who it was.


    When X saw her father’s face, she was a little taken aback. She had not expected him to show


    up without informing her ahead of time.


    X immediately pressed the button to open the door.


    After that, both the doors on the outside and the inside were opened.


    X quickly grabbed a white cashmere coat off the hook on the wall before putting it on. She then


    waited for Jeremy by the door.


    Soon after that, Jeremy came over.


    As usual, Jeremy seemed upset. Even from a great distance, X could sense his annoyance.


    X quickly approached him and gently held his arm.


    “Dad, why do you look so upset? Has Aunty made you angry again?” X asked.


    When Jeremy saw the caring and gentle look in X’s eyes, he immediately felt much better.

    “She’s not the only one. That useless younger sister of yours too,” Jeremy said as he let out a long,


    helpless sigh.


    “Has Emily Quest returned?” X asked.


    X believed Emily had returned to apologize. Clearly, her apologies were ineffective against their


    father.


    Although X felt secretly happy, she did not show it on her face. Instead, she continued to look at


    Jeremy’s face gently.


    “Yeah. She came back to apologize. The more I see her, the angrier I be. That’s why I came


    over. Can I stay over at your ce for the night?” Jeremy asked.


    X was momentarily stunned.


    She had never expected that Jeremy would want to stay over. If that were the case, would the fact


    that she and Five Batton were sleeping in separate rooms be found out?


    “What’s the matter, X?” Jeremy asked confusedly.


    “Nothing,” X said.


    When a cold breeze blew against her face, X shivered while she shrunk back a little. She then


    stood closer to Jeremy and began leading him into the house.


    “Do you think Dad is disturbing you and your husband’s space? If that’s the case, I’ll just sit here for


    a while and leaveter,” Jeremy said.
