    “I can’t be bothered to exin,” Noah Smith said.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “It’d be bad if people started spreading rumors of us being in a rtionship,” Catherine Batton said.


    “I don’t mind,” Noah said.


    Catherine was speechless.


    “Did you watch my debut performance?” Noah asked.


    “Yeah… I did… You’re pretty good. I like your stage name too. It sounds great,” Catherine said.


    Meanwhile, Noah was sitting in his sapphire-blue Porsche parked within the vice president’s


    residence. A glimmer of light appeared in his eyes when he smiled after reading the text from


    Catherine.


    He immediately gave Catherine a call on the phone.


    Catherine very quickly picked it up.


    “Have you gone back to school?” Noah asked.


    “Not yet,” Catherine said.


    “When are you going back?” He asked.


    “Probably tomorrow,” she said.


    “Hmm… Would you like toe out for supper?” Noah asked.


    “No. I don’t feel like moving.” Catherine rejected him right away.


    “Forget it then…” A look of disappointment appeared in Noah’s eyes.


    “I’m going to hang up. I want to game a little…” Catherine said.


    “What are you ying?” Noah asked.


    “Honor of Kings…” Catherine replied.


    “Let’s y together…” Noah said.


    “Sure… Let Mommy carry you,” Catherine added.


    “Okay,” Noah said.

    Stanley Batton spent forty minutes making three dishes that X Quest liked. These included


    prawns with tomato sauce, shredded pork with fish sauce, and boiled beef.


    After putting all the food on the table, he walked back to the living room and picked up X, who


    was still scrolling through Weibo on the couch.


    When X was suddenly picked up, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes briefly. “What do you


    want?” She asked.


    “It’s time to eat, honey…” Stanley said.


    “Oh,” X murmured.


    Stanley then carried her into the dining room and carefully ced her on a seat.


    Right after that, he used a wet towel that he prepared in advance to wipe her hands.


    He was meticulous throughout the entire process, almost as if he was handling a fragile treasure


    that cost fortunes.


    The sight of her favorite dishes whetted her appetite.


    X then picked up her cutlery and began to enjoy her meal in earnest.


    Stanley didn’t touch his cutlery the entire time, and all he did was peel prawns for X.


    “Aren’t you going to eat?” X asked.


    “Hmm… I’m not hungry…” Stanley said.


    Beep, beep, beep… Right then, Stanley’s phone started to ring.


    When he saw that the number ended with three nines, Stanley directly canceled the call.


    “I have to go out for a while. Have an early night after you finish eating, alright?” He got up and said.


    X subconsciously nced at the watch on her wrist.


    It was already close to midnight.


    “Why are you going out at this hour?” X asked.


    “Something came up,” Stanley said.


    “Well, go ahead then… Don’te home toote,” X said without asking further.


    “Okay.” Stanley ruffled her hair affectionately. He then fished for the keys to his Bentley Arnage


    before leaving the dining room.


    X didn’t know who the caller was, but she figured it was probably one of his friends asking him


    out to spend time together. Hence, she didn’t think too much of it.
