Chapter 822


    Emily Quest instantly stopped walking and turned her head to listen to what they were saying


    carefully.


    “You seem to be getting better… But you should still be careful…” Ron Batton said seriously before


    letting go of Stanley Batton’s hand.


    “Okay,” Stanley said.


    “However, based on the amount you need now, that person probably won’t be able to satisfy you. In


    the end, you still need X. I think you should talk to her about this…” Ron added.


    “We’ll talk about it when the timees,” Stanley said.


    “Sigh… I know you aren’t willing to use her blood, but even so, you still have to in the end…” Ron


    said.


    “Let’s not talk about it now…” Stanley let out a long sigh.


    “I’m really happy to see you two getting along so well now. My efforts to get you two to be together


    weren’t a waste. You can only continue to live well with X by your side…” Ron added.


    Stanley didn’t say anything. Instead, he silently poured himself a cup of tea and finished drinking it.


    Outside the door, Emily seemed shocked.


    What did their conversation mean?


    Why did it sound like there was an ulterior motive for Stanley to marry X and that the Batton


    family was so nice to X? Why did it sound like they were doing it for X’s blood?


    Most importantly, it sounded like X had no idea about their motive.


    From what they said, Stanley seemed to need X’s blood to continue living.


    Could it be that Stanley was nice to X not because of love but because he wanted to get her


    blood?


    This must have been the case.


    When Emily thought of this, she secretly began to feel happy…


    Emily really wanted to find out how X would feel once she realized her husband married her and


    was nice to her with an ulterior motive…


    The more Emily thought about this, the more excited she became.


    Suddenly, footsteps could be heard.


    Emily immediately came back to her senses and started walking back to her room.


    Just as X got upstairs, Emily disappeared around the corner.


    The two sisters narrowly missed bumping into each other.


    X directly walked back to the room the men were in and back to her seat.


    When Stanley saw her, he immediately stood up and returned to X’s side while hugging X by


    her shoulder. “Were you bored downstairs? Why did youe back so soon?” He asked.


    “Yeah. It’s a little cold… I don’t know what’s wrong with the weather this year. It’s very abnormal.


    Although it’s almost summer, it still feels cold at night,” X said.


    Stanley immediately held her hand.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Sensing the coldness of her hand, Stanley took his jacket off and wrapped it around X’s


    shoulders.


    X could feel his warmth through the jacket.


    The warmth gradually spread throughout her body until it reached her heart.


    Suddenly, she no longer felt cold…


    “Alright. It’s gettingte. Let’s leave… Go home and rest,” Ron stood up and said.


    X and Stanley held each other’s hand and stood up.

    The next day, in X Entertainment.


    In the CEO’s bright and spacious office, Georgie Clementine was going through arge pile of


    documents at her desk with a serious look on her face.


    She was wearing a set of sapphire-blue formal attire with a white shirt on the inside.


    With intricate makeup, and her hair pulled back into a bun, Georgie seemed fresh yet experienced.


    She also looked bright and attractive.


    “Knock, knock, knock—”
