Chapter 846


    “What about our marriage? Did Grandpa ask you to marry me because of my blood?” X Quest


    got straight to the point.


    “Yes…” Stanley Batton replied truthfully, after which he took a puff at the cigarette.


    His curt answer made X’s heart skip a beat.


    X subconsciously took a deep breath before continuing, “Is that why you tried to approach me


    using every possible means in the first ce? Are you nice to me because of my blood? You want


    to keep me by your side as your blood supplier, am I right?”


    Stanley frowned slightly. The puzzlement in his eyes gradually intensified. “What? Who the hell told


    you this kind of nonsense? How can you believe such a thing about me?”


    X kept a straight face the entire time. “You don’t have to know who told me that. I’m asking you


    right now. Answer me. Yes or no?”


    Irritated by X’s usation, Stanley grumpily puffed at the cigarette a couple of times and threw it


    out of the car window. He then turned X’s body to him, his hands on her shoulders. “Look me in


    the eye, X…”


    X lifted her head warily, anticipation and apprehension stirring within her.


    Her heart threatened to escape through her throat.


    “That’s not true… As I told you before, I tried to approach you simply because I had a thing for


    you…” Stanley Batton wore a serious expression as he rified himself.


    X immediately yed the audio clip on her phone. “How do you exin this recording then?”


    In the very next second, his conversation with Ron Batton echoed in the car.


    The unexpected recording threw Stanley into a state of total confusion.


    X studied his expression. The suspense in her heart had finally found its peace at the sight of the


    man’s reaction.


    “What is this? Where did you get it from?” Stanley asked.


    “Someone sent it to me.”


    “Would you believe me if I say that I’ve never had such conservation with Grandpa?” Stanley


    questioned her without turning an inch.


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


    “Really?” X asked.


    “I’m serious.” Stanley’s eyes were filled with only determination as he spoke.


    X was so relieved to find his explicit denial and sincere expression. It was such a great weight off


    her mind.


    It seemed that his reaction was genuine. She was convinced that he was not acting.


    “Where did you get this recording from?” Stanley pursued. “Is this why you went missing for the


    whole day and refused to go home?”


    “Yeah…”


    “Someone must have faked the recording. I swear I’ve never said anything like that to Grandpa. I’ll


    get this recording identified right now. It really isn’t me… Please believe me, okay?”


    Stanley looked stern and solemn. His unblinking eyes were locked upon X’s, hoping to find a sign


    of trust from her.


    Ever since he was a kid, he had everything under his control. He was very much like an aloof and


    remote king, overlooking his men from high above.


    He hardly understood what it meant to be flustered.


    However, at this moment, he broke out in a cold sweat, waiting for her response…


    “Honey, I love you… I’d be struck by lightning if I ever get annoyed by you!” Stanley devoutly swore


    as he raised his middle three fingers in the air.


    X could not deny that there was no sign of deceitfulness in his eyes nor his expressions.
