Chapter 952


    X Quest looked at Stanley Batton briefly before subconsciously ncing around. She then


    rubbed her eyes gently. “Is the meeting over?” she asked.


    “Yeah…” Stanley answered softly.


    “When did I fall asleep?” X asked.


    “You fell asleep not long after dinner…” Stanley said.


    “Oh.” With that, X naturally wrapped her arms around Stanley’s neck. After that, she looked at


    the bodyguards behind them embarrassedly. “Put me down. I can walk on my own,” she said.


    “Let me hold you for a while.” Stanley had no intention of putting her down. His gaze never left her,


    and the look in his eyes was full of gentleness.


    X didn’t say anything further. She let him carry her while she enjoyed the warmth of his embrace.


    “Is there anything else you’d like to eat, hmm?” Stanley asked.


    “Do you want me to be a pig? I just had dinner, and you’re asking me to eat again,” X


    comined softly.


    Stanley smiled. “I was just afraid you might be hungry.”


    “I’m not a pig. Why would I get hungry so easily?” X said.


    “Oh, alright. Shall we go home then?” Stanley asked.


    “Okay.” X immediately nodded.


    After that, she naturally rested her head against his chest.


    She could feel the warmth of his body through the thinyer of fabric.


    At such a distance, X could clearly hear his heart beating forcefully.


    Stanley didn’t say anything. Instead, he walked faster.


    ***


    An entourage of ck luxury cars soon arrived at a high-ss, dreamy-looking area in the center of


    the city and stopped at building No. 8.


    After the cars stopped, X looked around once more.


    This building had an expansive view of the surrounding, and huge gardens surrounded it. The


    environment seemed beautiful around it.


    In the early parts of summer, all sorts of flowers were in full bloom in the garden.


    The odd-looking flowers and nts were also pleasant to look at.


    When one looked at such a view, one felt very much at ease.


    The bodyguards were the first to get out of their cars.


    Right after that, they opened the doors for X and Stanley.


    The two of them got out of the car at the same time.


    As soon as they did so, Stanley quickly walked over to X and picked her up.


    X looked at Stanley helplessly as she wrapped her arms around his neck. “Are you going to treat


    me as if we’re joined at the hips?”


    “Hmm… I’m prepared to be joined at the hips with you all night long,” Stanley whispered into her ear


    before gently nibbling her earlobe.


    His warm breath brushed her earlobe and the surrounding area of her neck, instantly causing her


    heart to feel numb.


    X immediately started to blush. Subconsciously, she turned to look at the people behind them.


    Although Stanley wasn’t loud, they could all hear him.


    When her eyes met with theirs, they all coughed awkwardly before looking down and pretending as


    if nothing happened. They continued to walk behind X and Stanley.


    X knew from their reaction that they must have heard what Stanley said.


    She began to feel increasingly embarrassed.


    X rolled her eyes at Stanley. “Stanley, do you know what silence means?”

    “I don’t,” he replied.


    “…” X rolled her eyes at him again before lowering her head in embarrassment.


    Stanley’s unit was on the sixteenth floor.


    By design, a single unit upied the entire floor in this building.


    Inside the unit was a huge, baroque-style foyer.


    After Stanley carried X inside, Zack and the rest were smart enough to leave.


    Without anybody around, Stanley became even more unrestrained.


    He put X down on the couch before pressing his body against hers. He then carefully studied her


    face with his palms on both sides of her cheeks.
