Chapter 296


    At that moment, somebody opened the door.


    Subconsciously, X Quest clenched her fists tight as goosebumps appeared all over her body.


    She began to throw punches in the direction of where the sound came from.


    Before her fist came into contact with anything, arge, warm hand grabbed hers.


    After that, X was pressed against the wall. She could smell the fragrance of mint-scented soap.


    In the pitch-ck room, X could not see anything. Meanwhile, she felt the person’s body pressing


    against hers affectionately.


    X began to rx when the scent of mint and cigarette wafted through her nostrils.


    “What were you trying to do? Huh?” A deep yet sensual voice could be heard.


    X could feel his warm breath above her head. Her heart began to race as she felt something like


    an electric current travelling through her body.


    Subconsciously, she took a deep breath and pushed against his chest. “I thought you were a bad


    guy.”


    X could feel a dampness over her fingers.


    It appeared that Stanley Batton was not wearing any clothes, and he had only finished taking a


    shower. X was actually touching his muscr chest.


    Feeling tense all over her body, X quickly pulled her hand away.


    The man chuckled a little. “Not bad. You are quite alert to danger.”


    “Five Batton, when did you return? Why didn’t I hear any sound at all?” X asked.


    “I’ve been home for a while now. I took a shower after arriving. Perhaps you were busy and did not


    hear me. When the electricity went out, I was worried you might be afraid. That’s why I came over to


    check on you,” Stanley said.


    X immediately felt a warm sensation in her heart when she heard what Stanley said.

    Standing in his original position, Stanley continued to breathe against her scalp.


    Even in darkness, X felt as if she had been tossed into a pit of mes. Her skin was heating up


    all over her body.


    “Five Batton, is your phone working? Turn on the torch light and check what happened to the


    electricity,” she said.


    “The circuit breaker probably tripped,” he said.


    “Check it out,” X said.


    “Your wish is mymand,” Stanley said before letting X go.


    Very soon, he took his phone out and a bright light immediately appeared.


    The cold tone of the light made his muscr chest and toned abs appear even sexier.


    With only a white towel wrapped at a low position around his waist, his manly hip was also visible.


    X noticed droplets of water on his smooth, cold skin. Under the bright light, it seemed as if there


    were sparkling diamonds attached to his body.


    With his good-looking face, which almost seemed godly, words were not enough to describe how


    attractive he appeared.


    X subconsciously lowered her head. “Put your clothes on.”


    “Come with me…” Stanley grabbed her wrist gently and led her outside.


    “I’ll just wait for you in the room,” X said and stopped walking.


    “Aren’t you afraid of the dark?” Stanley asked.


    “I’m fine,” she said.


    Before X could finish her sentence, Stanley had dragged her out of the room decisively.


    Helplessly, X followed him outside.


    She tried to push his hand away but failed. In the end, she could only allow him to drag her along.


    Stanley led X all the way to the electrical junction box in the living room downstairs. He then


    carefully examined it.
