Chapter 1960


    Yaksha lived far away from the hustle and bustle of city life. He was willing to spend his life on an ind where no man frequented.


    It wasn''t something ordinary people could live with.


    "What would you like for dinner?" Stanley Batton asked.


    "I would love to have some of your homemade roasted pork ribs as well as sweet-and-sour fish fillet," X Quest answered with a hopeful tone. "Okay," he said softly.


    Right then, X''s phone began ringing, prompting her to open her eyes to nce at her phone.


    She hastily answered when she saw that the call was from Jeremy Quest. "Dad?"


    "X, will youe home for dinner? Betty wants to cook your favorite dishes for you," Jeremy said.


    "Yeah, okay. Sure," she replied.


    "I saw the news, X. You really are outstanding. My daughter is the best," he dered, sounding excited as he spoke.


    Even over the phone, X could sense how proud he was of her.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    She hung up after briefly chatting with her father, only to receive multiple phone calls from Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, Josh, and Annabeth Batton right after.


    They expressed simr thoughts to what Jeremy said, but Sharon was the most enthusiastic of them, acting like she was a fan of X.


    After chatting with each of them, X finally put her phone down and shifted her attention to her husband.


    X turned around after sensing that the massage was almost done, holding his hands. "I''ve been showered withpliments all day long. I can barely breathe."


    "Yeah, I can see that," he said.


    X shook her head helplessly. "Let''s have dinner at my father''s tonight."


    "Okay, as you wish."


    "I''m not done with my work yet if you don''t mind waiting for a while," X said.


    "Sure."


    With that, she stood up to return to her desk to resume working.


    Meanwhile, Stanley picked up the iPad on her desk and began to watch something on it.


    After a while, X''s phone started buzzing with a new article_


    "How could a loving husband like Stanley Batton exist?"


    X nced at her husband in confusion before clicking on the news article to check it out.


    There was a video clip inside.


    She could tell from the background


    that it


    ad been recorded downstairs


    when Stanley was interviewed by


    reporters earlier.


    The video clip showed his answers to the reporters'' questions, making her smile subconsciously as she watched.

    "I can''t imagine why a person of his stature would willingly queue for a cup of milk tea for a girl."


    “All he talks about is how much he loves his wife. When will a man like him show up in my life?"


    "When will this country provide me with a husband like Stanley? I''m so jealous."


    "The way he said he had to queue


    for the milk tea because his wife


    liked it. I nearly cried when I h


    swno


    that."


    "I can''t picture anyone else but these


    two when I read romance novelse


    ever since I saw how hand


    interact with each


    After a while, X nced at Stanley, whose attention was now solely on browsing some financial news on the iPad.


    Her heart gave a fluttering tug.
