    “She isn’t interested in me now. But how sure are you that she won’t be interested in me in the


    future?” Henry Armstrong asked.


    “… Fine. I can get you her WeChat ount details, but you must buy Rachel two handbags.


    Limited-edition,” Sebastian said as he casually rested his chin on Rachel Wood’s shoulder and


    continued to look at Henry.


    “Okay, got it,” Henry waved his hand helplessly.

    Meanwhile, X Quest and Stanley Batton were both still eating and drinking.


    Although X was already full, she would still eat a bit more because Stanley’s cooking was very


    good.


    X felt unusually enthralled by this precious time of the year when she could rest.


    Before they knew it, they had finished two bottles of red wine.


    Under the influence of alcohol, X’s cheeks were a little flushed.


    Stanley, on the other hand, still looked the same. His facial expression had not changed at all.


    X spoke twice as much as usual. She began to tug his hand and told him about her past.


    X told Stanley about how Tom Sullivan betrayed her and how hurt she felt after the betrayal.


    Throughout the story, Stanley listened intently. asionally, he would frown deeply at what she


    said, his facial expression turning cold.


    Although Stanley knew very well what happened to her in the past, the information he discovered


    through his investigation was not as impactful as the way X personally described those incidents


    to him.


    At the end of her story, X emptied her ss and chuckled a little. “That’s why I get a kick out of


    watching them being so miserable right now… Tom Sullivan is a dog, and so is Emily Quest. They


    do not deserve a peaceful life,” X said.

    “Yeah,” Stanley answered as he looked deeply at her.


    “This thing called love does hurt a lot,” X said and smiled bitterly.


    “Do you still believe in love, then?” Stanley asked.


    “Of course, I do. Why wouldn’t I? Isn’t it foolish to lose hope in love because of a scumbag?” X


    said ndly.


    Feeling a little thirsty, X stood up shakily and looked at Stanley. “I’m going to get myself a ss


    of water.”


    “Let me do it,” Stanley said and grabbed her by the wrist.


    In the next second, X’s feet went weak. She ended up on hisp.


    Subconsciously, X turned around to look at his face. Their lips identally brushed each other’s.


    When their lips touched, X trembled.


    Suddenly, she felt as if the alcohol had worn off significantly. She was very much alert now.


    Like being on a roller-coaster ride, her heart began to pound. It felt as if her heart would soon beat


    out of her chest.


    X was stunned still, and she suddenly felt clueless about what to do.


    More importantly, she realized she had identally ced her hand somewhere she shouldn’t.


    “Hiss…” Stanley’s warm breath blew against X’s face.


    Ding-dong… Ding-dong…


    The doorbell started ringing suddenly, disrupting their moment of intimacy.


    X immediately came to her senses, springing to her feet as she took a deep breath awkwardly.


    She waspletely alert now. “I’ll get the door…”


    However, after only taking one step, she stumbled andnded on hisp yet again.


    “What’s the matter? Huh? Are you not willing to leave me?” Stanley asked softly with a yful look


    in his eyes.


    X rolled her eyes awkwardly at him as she stood up, holding onto the corner of the table to help


    herself up. “I had a little too much to drink and lost my bnce. That’s all.”
