Chapter 1418


    X Quest gently patted her face as she looked at Stanley Batton’s face through the spotless


    mirror. “What is it?” she asked.


    “Let’s not go out today…” There was an affectionate look in his eyes.


    X immediately knew what Stanley had on his mind. She rolled her eyes at him. “Don’t even think


    about it…” X said.


    “…”


    When X saw Stanley remaining silent, she rolled her eyes at him again. “Do you know what this


    is all about?” X asked.


    Stanley smiled before looking at X excitedly.


    “This is how a man behaves when he has gotten addicted to have sex with a woman…” X cut to


    the chase.


    Stanley thought deeply for a few seconds. “Hmm, I think you’re right.”

    “Are you not even going to deny it?” X asked.


    “There’s no reason why I should deny it…” Stanley said.


    X was speechless.


    “Ever since we met, I think I understand how those foolish kings in ancient times feel…” Stanley


    said.


    “What do you mean?” X looked at Stanley curiously.


    “If queens in ancient times were as beautiful as you, I’d be willing to conquer kingdoms for them


    too… Perhaps… I might never wake up early again…” Stanley said.


    His words seemed to have struck X’s heart with an electric jolt…


    X felt a numbing and warm sensation in a specific area within her chest.


    “Oh, right… It’s Dad’s birthday tomorrow. Mom’s nning a birthday party for him tomorrow at eight


    o’clock. So free up your time tomorrow evening…” Stanley changed the topic.


    X nodded decisively. After that, she slowly opened the container of Wintersweet Haute Couture


    Mask and carefully smeared it over her face. “Hmm… Okay.”


    X’s mother-inw, Sharon Lindt, had told her about this on WeChat a few days ago.


    Hence, X was prepared long ago.


    She ordered a new gown from overseas that would be arriving at dusk today…


    Meanwhile, X had also prepared a birthday gift long ago.


    “Some of the family’s acquaintances and rtives will be there… Coincidentally, you haven’t met


    many of my rtives. So this will be a good opportunity for you to meet them…” Stanley said.


    “Your older siblings… Will they be back this time?” X asked.


    X still felt curious about Stanley’s older siblings…


    During Dragon Group’s seventieth anniversary celebration, Stanley mentioned that they would


    come.


    However, X didn’t see them then.


    “I don’t know… They’re all busy. I can only be sure that Catherine and Josh will be there…” Stanley


    said.


    “Oh,” X replied.


    ***


    In the blink of an eye, a day had passed…


    X got off work early in the afternoon.


    After leaving the office, she went for a full-body beautifying treatment.


    After that, she went to a famous styling studio in Antis to get her makeup and hairstyle done.


    Toplement her dress, X chose a more light and fresh style of makeup. Meanwhile, her hair


    was straightened and draped behind her.


    By the time her hairstyle and makeup wereplete, her custom-made gown had arrived.


    Once X received the message, she returned home right away to pick up the delivery. After that,


    she entered the closet and changed into the gown she bought…


    Chanel’s leading designer specifically designed this gown for X.


    This was a champagne-colored, backless dress.


    The gown was made of champagne-colored, star-embedded veils. It clung tightly to X’s upper


    body, but the hemline was long, and it had a very long train…


    The flowy material made X appear unusually gentle and beautiful.
