Chapter 811
His reply was simple, ‘Okay.’

Stanley Batton drove home in his ck Bentley Arnage.
As soon as he reached home, he headed straight to the kitchen to find X Quest.
X was dressed in a white housecoat and a white apron on the outside. She was washing
vegetables at the sink when Stanley walked into the kitchen.
She had styled her hair into a casual low ponytail with a green ribbon, looking cute and amicable.
X’s soft lips instantly stretched into a genuine smile at the sight of her beloved husband. “Hubby,
you’re back.”
Stanley walked up to her and washed his hands. Voluntarily and without warning, he picked up the
vegetables and started washing them, taking over X’s task. “Yeah.”
“Honestly, you don’t have toe back to help me. I can do it myself.” X tilted her head and
gazed at the man’s stunning face.
“Are you sure you want to cook for the whole family alone? That sounds tiring to me.”
“Nah, it’s not a big deal.”
Stanley did not argue and continued to wash the vegetables.
His consideration warmed X’s heart.
Her husband always gave her the top priority regardless of the time of day. She was just like a
spoiled little princess under his love and care.
“By the way, where’s Grandpa? Howe he didn’te back with you?” X asked as she
scanned the house.
“He went to meet an old friend,” answered Stanley.
“Oh, okay. Let me help you cut the vegetables.” X offered to help.
“Sure. Be careful, alright?”
“I will.”
X nned to make lemon chicken. Hence, she took the cleaned lemons from the sink and ced
them on the cutting board, carefully slicing them.
She had only managed to cut two slices of lemon before the doorbell rang. Ding dong… Ding
dong…
X immediately put down the knife, cleaned her hands with the apron, and then rushed to the
smart door viewer.
Seeing that it was Sharon Lindt and Catherine Batton on the screen, she opened the door without
further ado.
“Mom, Catherine, why are you guys here so early?” X was overjoyed.
“Of course, we’re here to help you! How are you going to cook for the whole family on your own? Do
you want to die of exhaustion?” Sharon and Catherine entered the house hand in hand and
changed into slippers.
Once again, X felt touched. “My husband is back, and he’s already helping me. Make yourself at
home while waiting for us. I mentioned that I’m treating you guys to dinner, right? Since dinner is on
me, how can I trouble you to help me out?”
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
“Nah, I don’t care if dinner is on you or me… Get some rest, alright. Stan, Catherine, and I will
prepare the meal.” Sharon dragged X to the living room and forced her onto the couch.
“That’s it. Sit down and watch the TV. I’m going to the kitchen,” Sharon babbled on, not giving X
a chance to speak.
X could feel her cheeks burning with embarrassment. “Mom… Please don’t…”
“I’m going to be mad if you try to stop me again,” Sharon warned.
Catherine grinned mischievously. “Sister-inw, you’d better listen to Mom. You have no chance to
work when Mom, Fifth Brother, and I are around.”
“…”
Subsequently, Sharon and Catherine followed the sshes of Stanley washing vegetables and
headed to the kitchen.
The two of them paused at the kitchen door and turned to nce at X. “Watch the TV and be a
good girl. Do you hear me?”
X managed a helpless nod.
At that instance, she felt like the whole Batton family spoiled her instead of her husband alone.
Everyone in the Batton family was incredibly nice to her, as if she was a valuable treasure.
“I’ll do it myself. The two of you should join X,” Stanley said.
“No way.” Sharon insisted. She washed her hands with Catherine and began to help him out.
The three of them worked harmonically in the kitchen. On the other hand, X—who was forbidden
to enter the kitchen—had nothing to do, so she logged onto Honor of Kings and started ying
games.
Buzz buzz buzz… Halfway through the game, her phone vibrated, and an unfamiliar number
popped up on the screen.
