Chapter 1904


    Stanley Batton wore a gray turtleneck sweater under a long ck woolen coat, with a pair of ck pants and ck leather shoes.


    His hair and shoulders were covered in unmelted snow, but he still managed to look cool and dignified.


    Just one look was enough to make X Quest''s heart pound.


    Stanley carried a sizable paper bag sporting a logo belonging to his wife''s favorite bakery.


    X immediately cheered up when she saw it. "Honey, did you buy me a cake?"


    Stanley grinned with an indescribably gentle look in his eyes.


    "Yes."


    He quickly removed his coat and changed into slippers before cing the bag on the coffee table.


    Stanley sat down beside X, naturally extending his arm to pull X into his embrace.


    "How was your day? Are you tired?" he asked softly.


    Everything about him seemed soothing and warm.


    Josh had long gotten used to this, and so had Sophie.


    X felt warm in her heart. "No, I''m not tired. Honey, I feel like eating roasted pork ribs with fried eggs and tomatoes."


    "Okay, I''ll make them for you right away. Is there anything else?" Stanley asked.


    "Hmm, maybe some roasted eggnts as well," X suggested.


    "As you wish," he answered.


    "Thank you, Honey."


    "Don''t mention it."


    Then, Stanley shifted his gaze to his brother''s face. "You''re here."


    Josh shrugged helplessly. "Took you long enough to realize that.”


    "How have you beentely?"


    "Yeah, I''m fine. I miss your cooking too. Can you make some shredded pork?" Josh asked.


    "Get lost," Stanley grumbled, and then stood up to enter the kitchen.


    Josh was at a loss for words.


    Sophie couldn''t help butugh at the differences in treatment between the two where her brother''s double standards were indeed extreme.


    Josh scratched his head helplessly before looking at his sister-inw. "X, check out my brother."


    She directly peered at her husband from behind. "Honey, can I have some shredded pork?"


    “Sure, Darling," Stanley answered instantly.


    Josh had no retort as he found himself to be the recipient of X''s amused gaze.


    "You''ll get what you asked for. So, are you going to stay for dinner?"


    "Can I?" Josh asked.


    "Of course. In that case, do you want to ask Annabeth if she wants toe over?" X asked.


    "It''s fine, Mother will be there to cook dinner for her. She does not like the


    Quoso since she doesn''t want to be


    out, let''s not force her," Josh replied.


    "All right then."


    "Mother is protective of her and


    worried that I can''t take care of


    Annabeth well enough, so she''

    come over nearly every day, Josh told her.


    X smiled gently. "That''s only natural."


    While they chatted, Sophie began to feel bored and opened Weibo again that people were still

    Some went way over the top, to the extent of sharing her personal information.
