Chapter 1845


    After Sebastian Brenand left, X Quest shifted her gaze to the documents on her desk that were left unsorted.


    It was already gettingte.


    She didn''t want to stay in the office and make her husband, Stanley Batton, worry so she decided to resume her work the next day.


    As she powered down theptop, she turned to look at Sophie Kenwick who was still entertaining herself on the iPad. "Sophie, are you hungry?" Sophie instantly snapped her head up upon hearing the question, hearing her stomach rumbling at the very moment she gazed back at X. Feeling embarrassed, she scratched her head and said sheepishly, "Yeah, I am hungry."


    "In that case, let''s go home and eat. I''m sorry for losing track of time and forgetting about dinner," X said.


    Sophie immediately shook her head. "It''s fine, Master."


    She then quickly stepped forward and picked up X''s purse and phone,pletely giving up on her pride as a former princess and embodying her role as X''s bodyguard.


    Once everything was packed up, X held Sophie''s hand and left the office.


    As soon as they walked out, Stanley sent X a text on Wechat. "What time are youing home?"


    Back at home, Stanley was sitting on the couch with aptop in his hands. He was having a meeting with the high-level executives from an overseas subsidiarypany.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    They were reporting their job progress to him in English.


    Meanwhile, Stanley listened while constantly checking his phone, resulting in puzzled expressions on all the executives'' faces when they noticed.


    It was a known rule that checking one''s phone wasn''t allowed during meetings, so why would Stanley break that rule knowingly?


    When X saw his text, she immediately felt warmth in her heart. "I was working until now, but I''ming home right away. I love you, Darling," X quickly replied.


    On the other end of that message, Stanley smiled with tenderness when he read the reply. Seeing his sudden smile allowed the executives to realize why he broke the ''no phone'' rule.


    They couldn''t resist exchanging nces with each other.

    Stanley then pressed a button to send a voice note, "Hmm, I love you. Honey, be careful on your way home. I cooked some delicious food for you. I''ll wait for you to get home and have dinner with you."


    At that moment, his tone was so gentle that he seemed like apletely different person from how he behaved during the meeting with his staff.


    Suddenly, the female executives felt even more jealous.


    When X heard his message, she immediately sent her husband a ''kiss'' emoji.


    ***


    Once X and Sophie were outside, they returned home with the rest of the bodyguards.


    The interior of the house felt warm and inviting.


    Stanley had just finished his meeting and was switching hisptop off.


    His dark blue outfit made him appear to be imposing at first nce.


    X directly led Sophie over to her husband, where he looked at his wife before shifting his gaze to Sophie.


    Right then, Sophie was also looking at him, smiling from ear to ear.


    In the next second, Stanley felt a sharp pain in his chest.
