Chapter 496
Zack Cassidy woke up instantaneously. He turned on the light and stole a nce at the clock.
It was already ten o’clock at night.
This bastard…
“Yes, Fifth Master!” Zack nodded respectfully before jumping down from the bed with a heart full of
resentment.
On the other hand, Stanley Batton had gone to some of the bars and hotels that X Quest often
went to after he drove away from his vi.
As he drove, he could not help but startedughing at himself. Never in his life had he been so
crazy for anyone, or anything, not even once since he was a child. He felt very much like a blind,
headless fly right now, roaming through the streets, not knowing where to go.
The person he was at that very moment was akin to an immature boy who fell in love for the first
time, doing all he could do for his first love.
When Stanley was drowning in his deep thoughts, it started to drizzle.
Under the drizzle, the ck Honda continued to roam between the streets, traveling through the
city.
Meanwhile at Georgie Clementine’s house, X was still tossing and turning restlessly on her bed,
unable to fall asleep.
The pitter-patter of rain outside of the house flowed from the window into her ears, causing her to
feel even more annoyed.
Hence, she buried her entire body under the thick nket in order to make herself feel a little more
comfortable.
Try as she might, it ended up being a sleepless night.
The possibilities that Georgie had proposed earlier kept shing across her mind.
Various kinds of thoughts tore her apart. Breathing became difficult and she felt like she was
constantly out of breath.
Hourster, the air outside was getting cold.
The streets were starting to fill with heavy traffic and the city was busy once more.
Ding Dong… Ding Dong… The doorbell rang.
The sudden noise pierced through the darkness and prated her eardrums.
The sky was not even fully bright yet, indicating that it was still very early in the morning. Who could
it be?
Was it him?
Georgie was making breakfast at the moment. Upon hearing the doorbell, she strode out of the
kitchen and quickened her footsteps to the door, peeping through the peephole.
It was Stanley Batton who was standing outside the door.
He looked extremely exhausted as if he had not slept all night.
Realizing the visitor was actually Stanley, her utter dismay reflected in her eyes.
How did he know X is here?
She told Stanley that X was not aroundst night, did she not?
Pulling open the door, Georgie red at him with irritation written all over her face. “What are you
doing here?”
“I’m here to see X.”
“She… She’s not here.” She clearly remembered X’s reminder fromst night, that she did not
want to see him.
However, Stanley straight away stepped into the house without saying anything. Putting on the
slippers, he made his way to rooms and began to search every one of them.
Finally, he found X.
His heart eventually returned to its original, peaceful state and the panic under his eyes
disappeared.
On the contrary, X’s face went sour as soon as she saw him. “What are you doing here?”
“I owe you an exnation so I’m here to rify myself.” Closing the door behind him, he slowly
approached X and sat beside her. “Well, I actually knew you’re here all the time but I didn’t want
to disturb your rest. Therefore, I waited downstairs all night long.”
He figured out she was here around one o’clock in the midnight. Without hesitation, he drove all the
way here, as fast as he could. When he was about to go upstairs, he noticed that the lights in the
house were off and he was afraid that she had fallen asleep. On second thought, he gave up the
idea of intruding the house at that hour because he did not want to disturb her.
As a result, he sat in the car for the whole night, waiting for her outside of the condo without any
comints.
Upon hearing that, X’s heart softened right away and mixed emotions began to mount up in her
heart once again.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
