Chapter 511


    X Quest nced coldly at the two of them. Hand in hand and without warning, X and Stanley


    Batton strode across the room and sat beside Jeremy Quest cheerfully. “Sorry Daddy, we’rete.


    We got stuck in the traffic.”


    X was sitting next to Jeremy while Stanley was next to Tom Sullivan.


    “No worries, X… We have just gotten here too,” May Conner responded with a friendly smile.


    Likewise, X returned her a polite smile.


    “Are you feeling better now?” May asked again.


    “Yeah,” X answered indifferently and showed no interest in continuing the conversation.


    “Waiter, the food can be served now.” Jeremy Quest casually waved at the waiter who was standing


    right beside their table.


    Though it seemed as if the waiter had just left, the dishes were prepared quickly, and their orders


    arrived in no time. It was a feast, indeed. There were various arrays of food on the table, ranging


    from seafood to all kinds of meat and vegetables. When all the eighteen dishes had been served,


    the big round table had barely any space left uncovered by food.


    After thest dish had been ced on the table, Jeremy put the candles on X’s cake and lit them


    up.


    Everyone began to sing the birthday song in unison for X.


    Then, X made a wish in front of the cake before she blew out the candles.


    X was smiling from the beginning of the birthday song. She was clearly in a good mood the


    whole time.


    Shortly after X was done cutting the cake, she sat down and joined the others to drink and enjoy


    the meal.


    Throughout the night, Tom could not stop himself from stealing nces at X.


    Inparison to the gloomy and eerie creature next to him, X’s smile was so much more


    beautiful, and so was her face.


    X was like the brightest star shining in the sky.


    Whereas Emily Quest, who was sitting right beside him, was the stinkiest rock in the gutter.


    The more X glowed, the more he regretted the decision he had made.


    Had he known that X could be so stunning, he would never have been seduced by Emily,


    that stinky little rock.


    Though X could feel that Tom’s eyes upon her, she could not care any less about him, she was


    focused on the food. From time to time, she would reach over with her chopstick to help refill


    Jeremy’s and Stanley’s bowls, paying no attention to Tom at all.


    Besides, Stanley was still holding her hand under the table. Sweetness was overflowing.


    Emily’s gaze slowly shifted from Tom to X, who was thriving at the moment. Hatred and


    resentment pulsed through her veins as if they would consume her if she continued to stay in the


    room.


    The same went for May.


    On the other hand, Jeremy looked at X and Stanley with a delighted expression etched on his


    face. “X, Stan, it seems like the two of you are getting closer and sweeter since Ist saw you.”


    Stanley smiled at him. “It’s true.”


    He then turned to meet X’s eyes, where the lovebirds smiled at each other knowingly.


    “Have you considered having a baby? I’d love to have a grandchild!” Jeremy added.


    “It’s up to X to decide whether or not to have children,” Stanley said without hesitation.


    X was veryfortable with his answer.


    She found herself grinning happily as her eyes fell on Jeremy. “To be honest, I hope to concentrate


    on my career for now. I don’t want to have children so early yet.”


    “That’s fine too. We all respect your decision,” said Jeremy.


    Halfway through the dinner, Georgie Clementine gave X a call.


    Grabbing the phone from the table, X rose to her feet and walked out of the room, leaning


    against the wall as she answered the call.


    “I’ve sent you a birthday allowance on WeChat just now. Why haven’t you epted it?” Georgie


    asked from the other end of the call.


    “I’ll ept itter.” X smiled. “I didn’t notice it just now.”


    “Speaking of which, what’s going on between you and Stanley Batton? Why did you forgive him so


    easily?” Georgie continued to interrogate her.


    While X slowly approached the window with the phone held tightly in her palm, she began to


    exin the whole incident to Georgie in earnest, trying not to miss any details.


    Upon hearing X’s story, Georgie stopped dead in her tracks. “What? Dragon Group? The young


    master! Stanley Batton is the young master of Dragon Group?”

    X’s response was to chuckle simply. She turned around and leaned against the window sill as


    she replied, “Correct.”


    However, the door of the private room her family was in flung open as soon as she turned around,


    followed by Tom marching out from inside.
