Chapter 1153


    Right then, the pretty waitress walked in with a fresh fish on a tray…


    She heated the pot and added all the necessary ingredients for cooking the fish into it. After that,


    she quickly ced the fish in the pot before covering it up with the pot cover that was shaped like a


    straw hat.


    After that, the pretty waitress stood nearby and watched over it.


    Knowing that there was still a long time until they could eat, X Quest opened Weibo again. She


    nned to read some current news.


    Right then, she saw her name on another hot topic. ‘#X Quest and her mother-inw#’…


    X couldn’t hold back her curiosity. She quickly tapped on it to have a look. It was all about a


    screenshot published by a marketing ount of Dragon Group’s reply to aizen’sment—


    “Stanley Batton, this idea of yours to promote her is a little too awesome, isn’t it?” Little Fishy asked.


    “My mother came up with it,” Dragon Group responded.


    Shifting her gaze downward, X could seeizensmenting excitedly—


    “Ahh… Did Stanley’s mothere up with this idea? Is she this nice to X?”


    “D*mn… I thought mothers-inw from rich families were all very strict and wouldn’t be nice to their


    daughters-inw. I was wrong!”


    “X’s mother-inw seems to regard her with great importance… X must be doted on in the


    Batton family, isn’t she?”


    “X’s undoubtedly doted on in the Batton family! Not only does she look good, but she’s regarded


    with great importance by her inws, she’s sessful with her career, and she is the boss of


    countless good-looking celebrities in the country. Who wouldn’t want a life like this?”


    “Sigh… Who wouldn’t want to be X? Right now, what else can I do apart from feeling jealous?”


    “What kind of divine mother-inw is this? X must be the luckiest woman to get married into a


    rich family like this, right? Who said rich families were difficult to get along with?”


    X couldn’t help but smile once again when she saw thesements.


    The pot with the fish inside was starting to boil. Thick steam began to rise…


    Amidst the mist in the air, X’s smile seemed unusually warm and therapeutic.

    Suddenly, Stanley was charmed by her.


    ***


    After dinner, Stanley flew back home with X with his helicopter.


    Once the two arrived, they immediately got into the giant bathtub in the bathroom and took a warm,


    comfortable bath.


    Beep, beep, beep, beep—


    At noon the next day, X was woken up by the sound of her phone ringing…


    She didn’t open her eyes. Instead, she fished blindly for her phone before answering it with a sliding


    motion based on her sense of touch—


    “X… I’ve returned. Come home when you’re free. I have something to discuss with you…”


    Jeremy Quest’s voice could be heard.


    X instantly felt joyful when she heard this. She immediately became fully awake. “Are you back?


    That’s great… I happen to be at home. Once I get myself cleaned up, I’lle over…” X said.


    Ever since Emily Quest and May Conner died, X’s father had gone away on a trip to recover from


    everything…


    The two had not met for over a month now.


    X really did miss him a lot.


    “Alright…” Jeremy said.


    “Dad, what’s the matter? Why do you want to see me?” X asked curiously.


    “You’ll find out after youe.” Jeremy didn’t answer her directly.


    X didn’t press on. She hung up the phone and got out of bed.


    After simply cleaning herself up, she casually pulled her hair into a high ponytail. She then put on a


    white, cotton halter dress and directly drove to the Quest family next door.
