Chapter 977


    With Christian Hall personally handling things, X Quest’s request was very quickly sorted out.


    Once everything was taken care of, X left the bank with the female servant’s parents.


    She first sent the couple home.


    After that, she returned to her own house with her group of bodyguards.


    When she drove her car into the courtyard, the sky was already turning dark.


    The lights in the courtyard were all switched on.


    Under the brilliant lights, the flowers and nts looked extraordinarily perfect.


    After checking her appearance using the mirror inside the car, X walked into the house.


    As soon as she entered, she could smell the scent of a rich, creamy broth wafting through her


    nostrils.


    It instantly made X crave food.

    She quickly followed the scent into the kitchen, only to find Stanley Batton carefully cleaningrge


    prawns in front of the sink.


    There were all sorts of cleaned ingredients next to him on the kitchen top, including abalones,


    lobsters, lettuce, shiitake mushrooms, duck feet, and duck innards. These were all ingredients that


    X liked.


    Stanley was wearing a white, silk casual outfit with a ck silk apron over it.


    The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up to his elbows, making him appear clean yet leisurely.


    The creamy broth was boiling in the pot, and the strong scent of smoke and fire overpowered his


    physique’s harshness. Between his eyebrows was a little hint more gentleness.


    When Stanley saw that X had entered, his eyes lit up. “You’re home.”


    X nodded gently. After that, she walked over to Stanley and naturally wrapped her arms around


    him before leaning her head against his back. “Hmm… Didn’t you go to the office? Are you done


    sorting work out so soon?” X asked.


    “There’s still a lot to do, but I rushed home to make you dinner,” Stanley said gently.


    His words were like the hot steam rising from a pot, and it made X feel warm from head to toe.


    X hugged Stanley tightly once more and repeatedly rubbed her chin against his back. “I can cook


    for myself too,” she said softly.


    “I couldn’t bear letting you do it,” Stanley said.


    His gentle words sounded awfully sweet to X, and it made her feel happy on the inside.


    X’s smile widened. “Stanley, why are you so good to me?”


    “Because I love you…” Stanley carefully removed the intestines of the prawn in his hands with a


    toothpick as he spoke.


    Stanley’s hand was very attractive. Even when he was removing a prawn’s intestines, his hands still


    looked beautiful.


    X slowly let go of him. She stood next to him and picked up a toothpick. “Let me help you,” she


    said.


    With that, she reached out to pick up a prawn in the sink.


    Before her hand touched the prawn, Stanley blocked her with his hand. “Be good… Sit over there.


    This is dirty.”


    “But I want to help you,” X said.


    “It’s okay… It’ll be done very soon… Hurry up and go there,” Stanley said in a dominant yet gentle


    tone. He wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer.


    “Alright.” X shrugged helplessly. She then left the kitchen in peace. After sitting cross-legged on


    the couch, she opened a bag of chips. While eating the chips, she opened Weibo to find out the


    latest gossip.


    The fifth hot topic on Weibo’s list caught her attention. ‘#X Quest at the bank#’.
