Chapter 813


    As the saying went, many hands make light work. The Batton family made a table full of food in a


    blink of an eye. There were about eighteen dishes.


    When all the food was served, Wilson Batton and Ron Batton arrived at the doorstep. The big family


    had a whale of a time at dinner.


    After the meal, Wilson, Josh Batton, and Stanley Batton gathered around the coffee table to y


    chess.


    Ron watched them from the side.


    On the other hand, X Quest, Sharon Lindt, and Catherine Batton yed Honor of Kings excitedly.


    When all the family members met, their happiness knew no bounds.


    X’s performance in the game was as impressive as usual.


    Sharon and Catherine could not stop praising her.


    Under X''s guidance, the three of them only took thirteen minutes to win the game.


    Sharon’s eyes brimmed with admiration and adoration when she saw the word ‘victory’ across her


    phone screen. “You’re awesome, X! How did you dodge the attacks so smoothly? If I had half of


    your talents, I could’ve broken my losing streak long ago.”


    Catherine gave X a thumbs up. “Exactly, Sister-inw. Is there anything that you can’t do? You’re


    good at everything. You’re my role model!”


    X scratched her head bashfully. “Nah, you guys are exaggerating. In fact, movement in games


    can be improved through practice.”


    “Talent matters too. Not everyone can do it as easily as you do.” Sharon disagreed with her.


    “Sigh… We’re all human, aren’t we? Why is my sister-inw so talented while I’m not?” Catherine


    comined.


    X giggled. She put her left hand around Sharon’s shoulder, then her right hand around


    Catherine’s. “Stop it. Don’t embarrass me. Speaking of which, Catherine, you’re leaving tomorrow,


    right?”


    Catherine nodded helplessly. “Yeah. I’ve been away from school for too long. They’re mad. I’ll be


    kicked out of school if I don’t go back now.”


    Sharon rolled her eyes at Catherine. “Don’t you dare toe back without my permission next time.


    You’re only allowed toe back on school holidays.”


    Catherine nodded.


    Sharon’s serious expression faded away in the very next second. She pulled Catherine into her


    arms and gently ran her fingers through her hair. “Darling, please take good care of yourself there,


    alright?”


    Catherine nodded once more.


    Subsequently, she averted her gaze to her father and brothers. “Dad, Grandpa, Fifth Brother, Sixth


    Brother, are you going to see me off tomorrow?”


    “Yeah,” Stanley calmly replied.


    “Definitely,” Josh answered without hesitation.


    “That’s for sure. We’ll be there,” Wilson reassured her.


    Ron ruffled Catherine’s hair dotingly. “Of course I will.”


    Upon hearing that, Catherine nodded delightedly. She held X’s hands tightly and pleaded pitifully.


    “Sister-inw, you’ll be there too, right?”


    X nodded. “Yeah, I promise.”


    “I’m going with you too. All of us will be there to see you off,” Sharon added.


    “Well, I probably won’t be back until the summer. Please don’t forget about me, okay?” said


    Catherine.


    “Yes, yes. We’ll miss you.” X fondly stroked her hair.


    “Sister-inw, I’ll text you through WeChat. Keep in touch…” As Catherine spoke, she leaned her


    head on X’s shoulder.


    “Sure.”

    The Batton family left at eleven o’clock.


    X, Ron, and Stanley watched their car disappear from the street before returning to the living


    room together.


    X hugged Ron’s arm intimately. “Grandpa, let me take you to the guest room.”


    “Sure… X, why don’t you go upstairs first? I have something to tell Stan,” Ron suggested.


    X went upstairs obediently, leaving the two of them alone.


    After X left, Ron motioned Stanley to sit on the couch.


    He then took Stanley’s hand and checked his pulse carefully, his face dead serious.
