Chapter 478


    When their eyes met, X Quest felt as if her heart was on fire.


    Her ears couldn’t help but turn red.


    “Are you hungry?” Stanley Batton asked.


    “No, but I’m feeling thirsty…” X shook her head.


    “What would you like to drink?”


    “Lemonade.”


    Without saying anything in response, Stanley stood up, walked into the kitchen, and started getting


    to work in front of the kitchen table.


    While X watched him work from behind, she felt a warm sensation in her heart.


    Suddenly, X thought of his sister. She got up and walked to the door of the kitchen and leaned


    against it as she watched him slicing a lemon intently. “How’s Catherine doing?”


    Stanley nced up at X. He carefully dropped two slices of lemon into an expensive-looking


    acrylic crystal ss. “Yeah. She’s already been discharged from the hospital and is now resting at


    home.”


    “Where does she live?” X asked.


    “In my house,” Stanley answered.


    “Why don’t we let her stay with us? We can look after each other,” X said.


    “It’s okay. Someone will look after her,” Stanley said while adding honey and warm water into the


    ss before mixing the drink carefully.


    Although it was a simple ss of lemonade, he made it seem much ssier.


    X nodded without asking anything else.


    “What do you want for dinner? I’ll prepare it in advance,” Stanley said before handing the ss of


    lemonade to her.


    “I haven’t decided. I’ll let you know once I have,” X said.


    “Okay. I’ve found out that the person who framed me for cheating on you is Mary Sullivan,” Stanley


    said.


    X snorted coldly. It was just as she expected.


    “What are you going to do about it?” Stanley asked.


    “What else can I do? Send the evidence over to me. I’ll get Georgie to hand it over to the cops.


    They’ll give her a harsher sentence,” X said.


    “Okay.”


    “Thank you, Five Batton. I’m heading upstairs to get some work done. Send the stuff to meter,”


    X said before walking up the stairs with her honey lemonade.


    Soon after she had headed upstairs, Stanley sent her the evidence she asked for. She immediately


    forwarded it to Georgie and told her what to do with it.


    After that, X drank half of the ss of lemonade at one go. She then leaned against her bedrest


    and began to deal with some work she had neglected a little recently.


    Around an hourter, she felt a little tired and stopped working. She put her notebook aside.


    Suddenly recalling that Stanley was still waiting for her decision on what to eat, and since she was


    feeling toozy to go down and look for him in person, X decided to call him on WeChat.


    Stanley was sitting in front of hisputer, his back straight with his headphones on next door.


    The people on hisputer screen were all high-level executives from Dragon Group.


    At this moment, they were having their group’s quarterly meeting.


    Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    All the important members of the group were present.


    Right then, a high-level executive from the marketing department was giving a serious presentation


    about his department’s performance.


    Beep, beep, beep…


    Suddenly, Stanley’s phone began to vibrate. When he saw that it was a call from X, he


    immediately removed his headphones and picked up.


    His ice-cold expression suddenly melted away.


    “What is it?” he asked.


    “I’ve decided what I want for dinner. I want steak and spaghetti. I want the fillet steak medium rare,


    and I want a tomato-based sauce for the spaghetti,” X said solemnly.
