Chapter 1708


    X Quest saw Betty Starmount''s pretty face.


    X immediately opened the door and stepped forward to look at Betty. "What''s wrong?"


    "Nothing. I just wanted to ask you if you''de home for breakfast. I made a lot of delicious food. You didn''t pick up when I called earlier. That''s why I came over..." Betty said.


    Betty''s tone was as gentle as she was as a person.


    Although Betty didn''t have any makeup on, she was still charming.


    "I might have identally set my phone on silent mode. That''s why I didn''t hear you calling. I was about to call home earlier to say that I won''t be going for breakfast this morning... I want to eat the pork rib noodles my husband made..." X said.


    A look of disappointment briefly appeared in Betty''s eyes. "Oh... Forget it... Next time then... Oh, right. I made you some bird''s nest. I''ll bring it over to youter..."


    X shook her head. "It''s fine... I don''t feel like having any today. You can keep it for yourself and my father."


    "Oh... Alright then. Are youing home for dinner? Jeremy said he wants to have a hot pot. He also said it''s only lively when the whole family is around," Betty said.


    "Alright. I''ll be home tonight," X said.


    Betty smiled satisfactorily. "Okay... I''ll get ready in advance.


    "You don''t have to do too much. Text me on WeChat to let me know what ingredients you need. I''ll bring them over when I head home," X said. "Okay. I''m off then. Goodbye..." Betty said.


    With that, Betty lifted her hand and waved at X.


    X also waved in return.


    Like X, Jeremy Quest also liked to eat hot pot when it snowed during winter.


    He especially liked cooking while he watched the snowfall.


    Even if X''s father hadn''t mentioned it, she would still head home to have dinner with him tonight.


    Outside, it was still snowing heavily.


    It was getting heavier by the second. The northern wind would soon engulf the entire world.


    X couldn''t help but shiver when the breeze blew against her.


    Within a short amount of time, the outside was already covered in white.


    Everything seemed beautiful as far as the eye could see.


    However, X didn''t dare to continue admiring the beauty before her due to the cold.


    She immediately closed the door. Then, after shivering once more, she quickly returned to the warm living room.


    The temperature in the living room.

    It felt almost like summer.


    The courtyard and the inside of the house seemed to be twopletely different seasons.


    Stanley was still busy preparing noodles in the kitchen.


    X could see hot steam in the kitchen. It made this winter day feel even warmer.


    There was a freshly boiled pot of water on the coffee table, steam still wafting out of it.


    X walked up to the coffee table and poured herself a cup of water Then, with the cup in her hand, she looked outside through the French window at the beautiful world...


    She then retrieved her phone from her pocket and switched off the silent mode.


    Right then, she could see a lot of notifications about Tom Sullivan on her phone.


    Tom was cremated in Antis Funeral Home...


    The cremation took ce sessfully.


    His remains would be buried at noon today.


    The names of those who attended his funeral could be seen.


    The amount of information was overwhelming.


    However, X wasn''t interested at all.


    She couldn''t even bring herself to mourn for him in silence for a single moment.


    X nonchntly put her phone aside. She then continued to enjoy the silent peace.


    Meanwhile, in Antis Funeral Home, where Tom''s remains kept,
