Chapter 768


    After the car engine was turned on, Christopher Lancelot slowly closed his eyes and began to rest.


    “Master Lancelot… X Quest is surrounded by a group of bodyguardstely. Do our people still


    need to protect her secretly?” Tucker asked as he nced at Christopher, who sat in the back,


    through the rearview mirror.


    Christopher slowly opened his eyes. He was tapping his thigh gently with one finger. “Yeah…”


    “Okay,” Tucker said.


    “Has anything bad happened to X recently?” Christopher asked.


    “No,” Tucker said.


    Christopher didn’t say anything else. Instead, he silently closed his eyes again.


    “Master Lancelot… To be honest, you don’t have to be so nice to her. She will never be yours,”


    Tucker said.


    “You’re nosy,” Christopher said.


    Tucker immediately shut up and didn’t dare say another word.


    “Oh, right… Has X faced any challenge in her business?” Christopher asked.


    “Not really…” Tucker said.


    “Hmm.” Christopher becamepletely quiet after that.


    There wasn’t a single sound in the car.


    Tucker silently nced at Christopher through the rearview mirror once again. He could sense that


    Christopher really did treat X differently from the rest. Christopher was always harsh and


    merciless with everyone else. The only person he was protective of was X.


    Christopher always asked for something in return whenever he did someone a favor. However, with


    X, he didn’t ask for anything at all. In fact, he always silently did things for her.


    Tucker figured that Christopher had probably decided to give X everything he had to offer in this


    lifetime.


    ***


    X couldn’t stop thinking about Christopher’s question all night long. She seemed very distracted.


    After getting home, she turned on the tap to fill the bathtub with warm water. She then washed her


    face and put on a face mask.


    Later, she added bubble soap and rose petals into the bathtub. Quickly, she submerged herself into


    the bathtub.


    The warm sensation made her feel relieved from all the exhaustion.


    Slowly, she leaned against the bathtub and closed her eyes.


    Christopher’s question popped up in her mind yet again.


    Since she couldn’t figure it out no matter what, she decided not to think about it at all…


    After soaking herself in the water for twenty minutes, X was beginning to feel sleepy.


    Hence, she removed her face mask and stood up. She was ready to go back to her room.


    Right then, Stanley Batton’s video call came in.


    X sat back in the water. She couldn’t help but smile sweetly.


    It was at ten o’clock. That meant it was probably already in the morning where Stanley was.


    X quickly dried her hand and picked up the call.


    On the screen, X could be seen submerged in snowy white soap bubbles. Only her stunningly


    lovely corbones were showing.


    With mist surrounding her smooth, gentle skin and her cheeks slightly blushed, she seemed even


    rosier than the flower petals.


    Meanwhile, Stanley appeared to have just woken up. He was sitting at the head of the bed, and he


    had nothing on but a white bathrobe.


    “What do you want?” X asked.


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    “Just checking on you…” Stanley said.


    “Aren’t you checking on me a little too often?” X smiled deeply.


    “Yeah. I don’t feel safe leaving my pretty wife at home, all alone…” Stanley said.


    “Are things going well over there?” X asked.


    “Yeah, very well…” Stanley replied.
