Chapter 585


    At first, X Quest thought she might have had to put in a lot of effort to convince Wilson Batton.


    She now believed that Wilson wanted to go to Josh Batton’s concert all along, but he never made


    that decision because he was too prideful.


    When X brought it up today, Wilson immediately agreed to her request. Firstly, he probably did so


    because he respected her. Secondly, he might have agreed to it because he wanted to go anyway,


    and X happened to have offered him the opportunity to do so without jeopardizing his pride.


    By the time the two of them arrived downstairs, Stanley Batton and the rest were already seated on


    the couch, eating fruits.


    Catherine Batton was sharing news about #JayTyCP, a celebrity couple she recently became a


    huge fan of, with Sharon Lindt. The two of them were having a great time talking about it.


    Catherine repeatedly showed Sharon pictures of the two celebrities. They seemedpletely


    engrossed.


    Meanwhile, Stanley appearedpletely uninterested. He was eating fruits while he looked at his


    phone.


    The way Catherine and Sharon were worshipping the celebrity couple made them appear almost


    like any regr pair of mother and daughter.


    X had never expected her mother-inw to be epting of a gay couple. Logically speaking,


    people close to Sharon’s age were all rtively more conservative when it came to things like


    homosexuality.


    “What are you two talking about?” X approached them and sat in between Stanley and Sharon.


    Stanley quickly looked away from his phone to X’s face.


    On the other hand, Wilson walked quickly over to a single couch next to them and sat down. “What


    else could they talk about? They’re probably going crazy over a celebrity couple. Look at your


    mother. She’s already very old but she’s still going crazy over a gay couple like a young person,”


    Wilson said.


    “That shows how Mother is keeping up with the times,” X said.

    “Indeed, she is,” Wilson said as he looked at Sharon affectionately.


    X couldn’t help but think about how being a good husband was a trait passed on from one


    generation to the next in the Batton family.


    “Mother, most people your age don’t really buy into this…” X said.


    “That’s because they don’t understand it and have a conservative mindset. Isn’t this great? X,


    aren’t these two cute guys from yourpany? I’ve been voting for them recently. I have spent a lot


    of money… I want to make sure they walk down the aisle together.


    “I will financially support them, and I’ll make sure they receive money every day. They’re a real


    couple, aren’t they, X?” Sharon added.


    “If you think they are, then they are,” Stanley said.


    X knew that Stanley answered in such a way because he didn’t want to crush Sharon and


    Catherine’s hopes.


    The worst thing that could happen to someone who worshipped celebrity couples was being told


    that the couple they rooted for were only faking it.


    Hence, X decided not to say anything.


    “I think it must be real. We’vee across the real deal this time, Mother,” Catherine said excitedly.


    “Yeah. It must be so,” Sharon said while repeatedly nodding before looking at X.


    “Oh yeah. What did you talk to your father-inw about?” Sharon asked.


    Sharon couldn’t resist her own curiosity.


    “To be honest, it wasn’t anything major. I was just asking Father to attend Josh’s concert,” X said


    truthfully.


    “He rejected you, didn’t he?” Sharon frowned.


    X shook her head.


    Wilson immediately coughed in an awkward manner.


    “Are you serious? I’ve asked him multiple times, but he always said no. Were you actually able to


    seed upon the first attempt?” Sharon seemed shocked.


    “I had to respect my daughter-inw,” Wilson said.


    “My daughter-inw is the best,” Sharon said before holding X’s hand tightly.


    ***


    Meanwhile, in a psychiatric ward in the municipal hospital, Emily Quest slowly opened her eyes.


    At this moment, she realized her wrist was covered in a thickyer of bandage.


    She could feel a sharp pain beneath the bandage, and she immediately frowned ufortably.


    On the way to the hospital, she had intentionally acted as if she was emotionally unstable. Before


    the doctor treated her wound, she was given a shot of tranquilizer.


    That exined why she had been asleep all this while.


    Since the side effects of the medicine hadn’tpletely dissipated, her head was still feeling heavy.
