Chapter 615


    The ferocious aura he emitted struck all his men in the backseat.


    Stanley Batton did not say anything else. He pulled X Quest onto hisp and caressed her


    lovingly as though she was a fragile gem.


    “Master Lancelot has already taught her a lesson. He said that she’d be treated the way she wanted


    me to be treated,” X said.


    “Mhm.” Stanley responded apathetically.


    “How did you and Master Lancelot meet?” X asked.


    “Dragon Group has dealings with his legalpany,” Stanley answered truthfully. His slim fingers


    ran through her hair gently, as if he was patting a noble Persian cat.

    About half an hourter, the helicopter arrived at their vi.


    The helicopter graduallynded on the helipad.


    Zack Cassidy was the first to get out of the helicopter. He then walked over to open the door for the


    two of them, courteously.


    Carrying X carefully in his arms, Stanley jumped out of the helicopter and headed straight to the


    living room.


    The living room was warm and cozy.


    X’s heart was currently filled with mixed emotions.


    When she woke up on the cruise just now, she was almost scared to death.


    This was especially true when Ada gave her the injection. She thought her life was going to be


    ruined by them..


    She did not expect that she would be able to return to their home unharmed.


    Stanley carefully ced her on the sofa before cupping her face in his hands while whispering, “You


    must take bodyguards with you from tomorrow, onward.”


    “Okay.” X nodded obediently. She then crept toward Stanley and sat on hisp, hugging him as


    tight as she could. “Feels good to be safe.”


    “Yeah.” Stanley returned her hug enthusiastically, his chin gently rubbing against the top of her hair.


    “You should be hungry by now. I’ve made dinner before I left the house. I’ll go warm it up for you,


    alright?”


    “Okay. I’ll take a shower first before having dinner.”


    Stanley lifted her up and went upstairs without saying a word.


    “Leave me alone. I can do it myself…”


    “I’ll do it.”


    Stanley refused to put her down. Having no other choices, X kept her mouth shut and allowed


    the man to continue carrying her all the way to the bathroom.

    After a rxing hot bath, X put on a white silk dressing gown and went straight to the dining


    room.


    The man had already prepared the food, set up the tableware, and was waiting for her to dig in.


    There were a total of six dishes on the table; each of them looked appetizing.


    There were meat as well as vegetarian dishes, making a bnced meal. Besides, the presentation


    and the colors of the dishes wereparable to that of a five-star hotel.


    The man was ying with his phone at the dining table while waiting for her.


    The dazzling light emitted by the chandelier overhead fell directly upon him, boldly outlining his


    features and the contour of his face.


    X watched him from a distance, admiring his cool yet ssy appearance in silence.


    Noticing X’s presence in the dining room, Stanley put away his phone without hesitation and


    nced at her.


    When their eyes meet, the coldness in his eyes instantly melted away. A flicker of a smile yed


    upon his lips as he waved at her. “Come over to eat.”


    X returned a hearty grin before sitting down beside him and picking up the chopsticks.


    The two of them did not talk much during the meal. X was so hungry that food was all that was


    on her mind right now.


    While X was busy eating, Stanley would peel the shrimps for her from time to time.


    Neither of them mentioned what happened on the cruise again.
