Chapter 1070


    Suddenly, X Quest felt her heart rising up to her throat…


    She felt as if countless electric currents were coursing through her veins, and her entire body was


    so numb that she could not stand straight.


    Subconsciously, X pushed both hands against Stanley Batton’s muscr chest in resistance. Her


    gaze softened as she looked at his exquisitely stunning eyes. “What are you doing? Don’t you need


    to get back to the office?”


    “Yeah…” Stanley said.


    “So, why aren’t you leaving yet?” X asked.


    “Let me give you a kiss before I go…” Stanley said.


    As soon as he finished his sentence, he passionately kissed X on her lips.


    After a very long time, Stanley reluctantly let go of X. He held her face and started whispering, “If


    it weren’t because of work, I really wouldn’t want to let you go…”


    His tone was affectionate, soothing, and provocative at the same time. Instantly, X felt ripples


    stirring up in her chest.


    X immediately blushed. “Hurry up. Get to the office,” she said.


    “Okay…” Stanley said.


    After that, Stanley picked up his car keys by the bed and directly left.


    X, on the other hand, strodefortably into the bathroom. She prepared to turn the tap on for a


    bath…


    ***


    It was already eight o’clock when Stanley arrived at the office.


    As soon as he got out of the car, Zack Cassidy, waiting for him in front of the office, quickly walked


    up to him and bowed his head respectfully. “Mr. Batton, where did you go? Everyone was waiting


    anxiously…” Zack said.


    “I was cooking for my wife,” Stanley said indifferently. He continued to walk through thepany’s


    main entrance.


    When the four security guards by the door heard this, they couldn’t help but look at each other.


    For a moment, Zack was speechless.


    ‘Cook… Cooking for his wife?’ Zack was truly shocked!


    Did Stanley leave all those high-level executives waiting for him at the office to cook for his wife?


    Alright…


    Stanley once again changed how Zack perceived him as a doting husband.

    Meanwhile, Rachel Wood and Sebastian Brenand were having shabu-shabu in Dream Garden


    while they sat across from each other.


    The glorious dining room had sufficient air-conditioning.


    Arge, two-sectioned pot was ced in the middle of arge round table covered with a light-blue,


    baroque-style tablecloth.


    Around the two-sectioned pot were all sorts of ingredients for the shabu-shabu meal.


    Hot steam rose above them in the dining room, and the strong scent of smoke added a lot of life to


    the gorgeous dining room.


    Rachel just focused on eating the entire time.

    Meanwhile, Sebastian added ingredients to the pot as he ate. He also ced food on Rachel’s


    te.


    Seeing Sebastian do that made Rachel feel warmth spreading in her heart all of a sudden.


    Recently, her status in the family had been on the rise.


    Sebastian’s status in the family, on the other hand, had been in a continuous decline.


    It was not her, but Sebastian himself, who caused all of this…


    Sebastian was adamant about personally handling everything that had to do with Rachel, no matter


    how big or small it was.


    He wouldn’t let her do things on her own, even if she said she wanted to do so.


    Sebastian looked like apletely different person todaypared to who he was back then.


    Apart from being serious in his work every day, he desperately spoiled her with love and affection.


    It was as if he couldn’t wait to offer Rachel the best things in the world.


    As a woman who came from a lowly background, Rachel never dreamed that she would one day be


    pampered by an ultra-rich, tall, and handsome man like Sebastian in Antis.


    “Is it delicious?” Sebastian asked as he gently caressed Rachel’s face.
