Chapter 1273


    While speaking, X Quest picked up her gilt makeup mirror on the table and stood up.


    She didn’t leave right away. Instead, she checked her makeup in the mirror.


    Although a long time had passed, her makeup hadn’t worn off at all.


    It all looked the same as when she first put the makeup on.


    After that, X put down the makeup mirror satisfactorily and prepared to leave.


    Stanley Batton instantly reached out and pulled her onto hisp. “It’s sote. How could I feel safe


    letting you go out on your own, hmm?” he asked softly by her ear.


    His voice was like a beautiful melody yed using a violin. There was a deep yet noble quality to it.


    Due to the close distance, his warm breath brushed against her ear and neck. It gave X tingling


    sensations, almost as if electric currents were passing through her.


    In a mere instant, her heart started beating wildly…


    Regardless of how long they had been together, X would always be easily charmed by this man.


    “What’s there to worry about? Your wife knows how to fight,” X chuckled.


    “Most men can’t possibly beat me,” X said confidently.


    “I still feel worried…” Stanley said.


    “Why?” X asked.


    “There’s no reason. I just want to be with you, can’t I?” Stanley asked.


    X immediately felt a warmth spread in her heart. “Why are you so clingy?” she asked.


    “Say, if people around you knew that the formidable Mr. Batton is a clingy person, would theyugh


    their heads off?” X asked jokingly.


    “I don’t care what other people think. I just want to be close to you,” Stanley said.


    “Don’t you need to work?” X asked.


    “Work is important, but spending time with my wife is also very important. Let’s go…” With that,


    Stanley picked X up and stood up.


    X had a thin physique. She felt nearly weightless in his arms.


    Once again, X felt touched by him…


    Suddenly, her heart started beating wildly once more.


    “Put me down… I can walk on my own…” X said softly.

    “Hmm… Okay… I’ll only carry you to the entrance.” With that, Stanley carried X over to the


    entrance.


    The two of them changed into their shoes before walking out the door, hand in hand.


    After passing through the courtyard filled with lush greenery, the two soon arrived at a nearby LV


    store without realizing it…


    There was a pair of silver high heels with straps by the disy window.


    The straps of the heels were engraved with diamonds, and silver tassels were dangling beneath it.


    It was gorgeous…


    X was instantly captivated by the pair of heels.


    She couldn’t help but stop walking…


    Stanley looked at X before looking at the heels. He instantly held her hand and quickly led her


    into the store.


    When three sales assistants dressed in ck-and-white uniforms saw them, they immediately


    reacted as if they had seen somebody important. They quickly walked over to X and Stanley


    before greeting them respectfully at the same time. “Wee…”


    X looked at the prettiest sales assistant with short hair in front of her. “I’d like to have a closer


    look at the pair of silver high heels by the disy window. Could you bring it to me so I could try it


    on? I’m size 37,” X said.


    The sales assistant with short hair seemed overjoyed. “Sure, sure… I’ll get it for you right away. Ms.


    Quest, Mr. Batton… Pleasee with me and have a seat over here…”


    While speaking, the sales assistant with short hair passionately led the two of them to a ck sofa


    in the center of the store.


    X naturally held Stanley’s hand and sat down.


    After showering X withpliments for quite some time, the sales assistant with short hair


    cheerfully left to get the heels.


    Beep, beep, beep—


    Right then, X’s phone started to ring.


    The contents on the screen gave her a shock—
