Chapter 810


    Rachel Wood was all that was on his mind.


    She had hurt him badly. She belonged to somebody else now.


    Nevertheless, Sebastian Brenand could not stop thinking about her.


    Though he thought of bing a yboy again, he was simply not interested in other women


    anymore. Rachel was the only one in his mind and heart. He could not forget about her no matter


    how hard he tried.


    He even doubted himself sometimes. Perhaps he had betrayed and disappointed too many


    innocent girls in the past. Rachel was simply divine retribution for his misdeeds.


    “But that girl is different…” Sebastian’s mother said again.


    “Mom… Please… Leave me alone, okay?”


    Following that statement, Sebastian hung up the phone. He opened the gallery on his phone and


    found Rachel’s picture.


    This was the only picture of her in his gallery.


    In the picture, Rachel was wearing an apron, happily painting at the art studio. She looked as gentle


    as a dove.


    Sebastian found her attractive when she painted, so he took a picture of her. That photo had been


    on his phone ever since.


    When he returned from Edgewater, bruised and scarred, he had the urge to delete that photo.


    However, he failed to do so.

    After X Quest finished her work at three o’clock in the afternoon, she went to the supermarket to


    buy groceries under her bodyguards’ watchful eyes. Then, she went home right away.


    This was the first time her master stayed over at her house. She wanted to make a delicious meal


    for him.


    When she returned home, Stanley Batton and Ron Batton were both not at home.


    After putting all the groceries in the kitchen, X gave Sharon Lindt a call to invite her, Wilson


    Batton, and Catherine Batton toe over and have dinner together.

    Sharon epted her invitation without hesitation.


    After that, X texted Stanley and informed him about the family dinner tonight.


    While all these were happening, Stanley was having a meeting in the conference room.


    The man sat in the middle of the table, wearing a well-fitting ck suit with a white shirt inside. His


    domineering aura was palpable.


    Seeing X’s message, the coldness on the man’s face instantly melted away and was reced by


    tenderness. His fondness for X was overflowing from his eyes as he read the message.


    The executives, who were initially expressing their opinions with trepidation, were all paralyzed to


    their spots when they noticed the changes in their boss’s expression.


    It happened as fast as a tornado.


    “I’ll go back now to prepare the meal with you,” Stanley replied.


    “Aren’t you busy?”


    “Nah, I’m not,” Stanley reassured X.


    Stanley shoved his phone back into his pocket, got up, and turned to Zack Cassidy. “I’ll leave the


    meeting to you. I have to go now.”


    Zack nodded respectfully.


    With that, Stanley stalked out of the conference room without saying a word.


    Immediately after he left, all the executives started to exchange looks with each other.


    Whispers and babbles of voices swarmed across the room in the very next second.


    “Aye… Our president has gone to apany his wife again, right?”


    “Our young mistress is really something, eh?”


    “In the past, if someone told me that our president is a love maniac, I would never have believed it.”


    “I had always thought that being our president’s girl must be a very miserable experience. I was


    wrong. I’m sorry, my dear president.”


    Zack listened to the crowd’s discussion in silence.


    He strongly agreed with some of them, though he never had the gut to express his thoughts.


    After texting Stanley, X sent Josh Batton a message, too, telling him that his grandfather was


    back. She asked him if he wanted to join the dinner tonight.


    Josh Batton replied to her message in just one second.
