Chapter 297


    After that, Stanley Batton found a ck switch. Once he flicked it upward gently, the lights came on.


    X Quest subconsciously squinted when the strong rays of light suddenly appeared.


    “It’s done…” Stanley slowly turned off the torchlight on his phone and looked at her.


    Under the bright light, Stanley’s naked upper body became fully visible.


    X immediately pushed his hand away and looked down while she walked over to the couch.


    “Get changed, and we’ll head over to my father’s house for dinner…” X said.


    Stanley did not say anything. Instead, he silently walked up the stairs.


    ***


    When X and Stanley walked onto the street outside, they could see a sea of rednterns hung all


    around them.


    Slowly, Stanley drove them into the Quest family’s vipound.


    The courtyard was also brightly lit with rednterns.

    Many cars were parked in front of the main building.


    As the doors were open, people in the courtyard could clearly hear people talking andughing


    inside.


    On Chinese New Year’s Eve, May Conner’s rtives would alle over to celebrate with the


    Quest family over dinner. X was very much used to this.


    Although she did not like them, she could never show it.


    When X and Stanley walked through the doors, they could feel an air of warmth. May, Jeremy


    Quest, and groups of men and women of all ages were gathered around.


    At one nce, X could see at least thirty people, all of whom she recognized.


    Everyone was eating melon seeds, chatting, and drinking tea. It made her feel like an outsider.


    When X’s rtives saw her, their smiles slowly disappeared. The looks in their eyes turned cold


    and distant.


    X chose to ignore them directly as she held onto the handsome man next to her and approached


    the group of people.


    Two of Emily Quest’s cousin sisters were also there. They sat in between Emily’s uncle and aunt.


    When the twodies saw Stanley, they were stunned by his good looks. Since they were busy on


    the day Emily got married and could not attend her wedding, this was the first time they met Stanley.


    They had heard about how handsome Stanley was from their parents, but they did not know he


    looked this handsome. In fact, he was even more good-looking than their favorite idol.


    Meanwhile, other girls in the family were equally stunned by the sight of Stanley. Most of them were


    seeing him for the first time too.


    Without a doubt, all women thought of him as handsome. Anyone who saw his face could not resist


    allowing their gazes to linger upon him.


    “X and Stanley, you’re here… Come on over and sit with us,” Jeremy said with a smile as he


    moved to make space for them.


    May greeted them with a smile and pretended to be weing. “X, Stanley, hurry up and sit


    down. We’ll start eating soon. The servants are preparing the food,” she said.


    X and Stanley nodded politely before sitting down together.


    After that, Jeremy began introducing Stanley to the people he had never met.


    Throughout the process, Stanley behaved politely as usual.


    Although he would nod and greet each of them, he would not look at any one of their faces for


    longer than a second.


    On the other hand, X sat next to him while she nibbled at fruits. She decided not to be a part of


    their conversation.


    Once Stanley was introduced to everyone, a group of young girls began asking Stanley many


    questions.


    They asked him about his age, astrological sign, blood type, and an endless stream of questions,


    almost as if he was their idol.


    Although the girls treated X coldly, they did not treat Stanley the same way.


    For some reason, X felt something weird in her heart.


    Even if he would always only answer out of politeness, she still found it strange.
