Chapter 1739


    After a busy day, Stanley Batton finally made it home in the heavy snowfall.


    He could see the lights in the house were left on for him the moment he looked up.


    That was the most heart-warming feeling in the world.


    Although it was chilly outside due to the gusting winds, he felt warm on the inside…


    Stanley ordered his men to move all the things he had bought into the living room.


    After that, he walked into the house in a carefree manner.


    The heavy snowing continued.


    When he walked inside, there was snow on his shoulder and hair.


    Stanley gently flicked the snow away using the tip of his finger. After that, he changed into his


    slippers and walked up the stairs.


    The temperature in the house was up to thirty degrees.


    It felt just like summer.


    After entering the house, he started feeling very warm.


    He then took off his ck coat and ced it over his arm.


    Barely making any noise, he walked upstairs and toward the master bedroom.


    As soon as he pushed the door open, he could see X Quest sleeping on the bed with the help of


    a streetlight from the outside.


    It was very quiet in the room, so much so that he could even hear X’s breathing.


    There was a light orange scent in the huge space, and it put Stanley at ease.


    To avoid waking X, Stanley intentionally lightened his footsteps.


    He walked over to the bed. After putting down his coat, he sat down next to X.


    With the light from the outside seeping in, Stanley could see X’s perfect face.


    While looking at her, he couldn’t help but recall the woman he bumped into in City S who had


    overestimated herself.


    How was she confident enough to think she’d beat X?


    X was in a light state of sleep.


    As she’d gotten used to sleeping with Stanley by her side, she couldn’t sleep well unless he was


    beside her.


    For this reason, X could sense Stanley the moment he sat down.


    She opened her eyes and looked at Stanley’s handsome face with the help of the dim light in the


    room.

    X couldn’t see Stanley’s facial expression clearly because of how dark it was.


    “Hmm… When did youe home?” X naturally stretched before resting her head against


    Stanley’s thigh.


    Stanley gently ruffled her hair. “Did I wake you? Hmm?” he asked softly.


    X shook her head. “No… I just couldn’t sleep well.”


    “Why couldn’t you sleep well?” Stanley asked.


    “It’s probably because I’m used to having you next to me. Without you around, I can’t sleep well,”


    X said.


    “I see… In that case, I’ll try my best to always be by your side, okay?” Stanley asked.


    “Don’t mind me. Work is more important. What time is it now?” X asked.


    “It’s slightly past twelve,” Stanley said.


    With that, Stanley leaned forward and kissed X deeply on the forehead.


    He could hear X’s gentle breathing and tender voice. It instantly melted his heart.


    “Continue sleeping… I’ll take a shower before I join you in bed, okay?” Stanley added. His voice


    was so gentle, as if he was speaking to a child.


    However, X sat upright and switched on the lights. “I’m a little hungry. Go ahead and take a bath.


    I’ll be making something to eat…”


    X slept very early tonight.


    In fact, she didn’t even have dinner.


    Now that she was awake, she felt hungry.


    Stanley frowned slightly. “Why are you hungry?”


    “For some reason, I was exhausted when I got home today. I wanted to lie down for a bit before


    having dinner, but I ended up falling asleep… I set the rm for eight o’clock…” X said.


    “It’s strange. Didn’t the rm go off?” X scratched her head, confused.


    Stanley shook his head helplessly. “Sit down. I’ll make you something to eat… What would you


    like?” He asked.


    Beep, beep, beep—


    As soon as Stanley walked to the door, his phone started ringing.


    It was a call from a zoologist.
