Chapter 508


    “Such a foolish master.” Zack Cassidy couldn’t resist cursing at Stanley Batton.


    In the room upstairs, Stanley tossed his phone aside and cleared everything in his mind.


    By the time X woke up again, it was already evening.


    The sun was setting against the horizon.


    It seemed as if the world was covered in a tint of gold.


    The peach blossom forest also had ayer of gold over it, and it seemed as beautiful as what would


    appear in dreams.


    After getting up, X felt an even worse ache in her body. It was as if her bones were being


    crushed.


    Stanley was hugging her. The warm light against his body melted away all the coldness around him.


    When X moved a little, Stanley very quickly opened his eyes.


    He immediately held her even more tightly as he rubbed the crown of her head with his chin.


    “Are you up?” He asked.


    X angrily punched him in the chest. “Hmm… Because of you, a lot of my work has been dyed.


    Give me back my time.”


    “How do you want me to give it back to you? On the balcony, on the floor, or in bed?” Stanley asked


    as he continued to rub his chin against her head.


    X instantly rolled her eyes at him. Her heart was beating faster again.


    She punched him on the chest once more. “Stanley Batton, are you sick or something?” She fumed.


    “How disrespectful. Call me your husband,” Stanley said.


    “I refuse,” X retorted.


    “Are you going to say it or not?” Stanley said before flipping his body around and pressing her


    against the bed.


    “Husband,” X pleaded.


    Only then did Stanley roll over and caress her face. “That’s more like it.”


    “Are you hungry?” Stanley asked.


    X nodded.


    “Shall we eat out?” Stanley asked.


    “Beep, beep, beep…”


    Just as Stanley finished his sentence, X’s phone started to vibrate. She picked up her phone and


    nced at it.


    It was a call from her father.


    X immediately picked it up.


    “X, are you busy? Why haven’t you answered your calls all day?” Jeremy Quest asked.


    “Ehh… I’m not feeling too well. That’s why I’ve been asleep,” X said.


    With that, she rolled her eyes at Stanley, who was next to her.


    When they were having sex, her phone had rung several times.


    However, he wouldn’t even allow her to pick up her phone.


    After that, they had somehow ended up falling asleep. When X woke up, she hadpletely


    forgotten about it.


    It seemed like those calls were all from her father.


    When Stanley heard this, he immediately chuckled and hugged X.


    “Were you not feeling well? Are you feeling better now?” Jeremy asked nervously.


    X naturally leaned against Stanley’s chest. “Yeah, much better…”


    To be honest, X wasn’t exactly lying. Her body was aching all over.


    “Oh, it’s your birthday today. At first, I was thinking of booking a private dining room in a hotel at


    noon for a family get-together. Since you didn’t pick up, I had to call it off.


    “I’m calling you now to ask if you would like toe out for a gathering? I’ve already ordered a


    cake,” Jeremy added.


    “Sure.” Apart from the years she spent in America, X had always celebrated her birthday with her


    father. Naturally, this year shouldn’t be an exception.


    “In that case, I’ll search for a hotel and book a private dining room. I’ll let you know once that’s


    done,” Jeremy said.


    “Okay,” X said.

    After that, she hung up the phone.
