Chapter 2070


    "All right," X Quest replied.


    "Stay home and rest in the afternoon. Don''t walk around too much, and don''t y with your phone," Stanley Batton reminded.


    "Okay," she agreed readily.


    "Good girl."


    "What are you doing now?" she asked, already missing him although they hadn''t been apart for long.


    “Nothing in particr. I''m just checking how everyone''s doing in each department," he answered.


    "Oh. I''m having my lunch now. Your mother''s cooking is delicious," she dered.


    Stanley chuckled. "Have some more, then. How about our children? Have they been good?"


    Apart from his wife and parents, he now had his children to miss.


    X broke into a grin when he mentioned their children, her gaze softening. "They''ve been amazing. They''re just as happy and adorable as they were yesterday."


    "Okay, you should continue with lunch. I''ll see you tonight," he told her.


    "Okay."


    Stanley ended the call wearing a smile on his face.


    Seeing how gentle and happy Stanley seemed next to him, Zack Cassidy couldn''t help but sigh to himself.


    If he was as gentle at work as he was with X even slightly, Zack wouldn''t have to be so cautious each day.


    Meanwhile, some employees in the departments they had walked past began to gather in groups of three to five for thetest office gossip-


    "Oh my god! He even remembers to check on his wife and children at work. He''s such a great husband!"


    "The way he talks to his wife is so endearing. I''d fall for him each time I hear him speak."


    "If I ever get the chance, I really would like to interview X and ask her how it feels to have a loving husband like Stanley."


    "Before X showed up, I had no idea Mr. Batton had such a tender side to him!"Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    "Other people''s husbands never fail to disappoint!"


    Since they were all muttering softly, Stanley couldn''t hear anything on the outside.


    After briefly checking each department, Stanley and Zack returned to Stanley''s office, where he continued to work.


    It was peaceful in his office.


    However, the employees in each department were still talking

    Stanley returned home that evening, his hands full of various food and drinks that his wife would like. He''s bought the strawberry milk tea that X enjoyed, as well as various types of her favorite snacks.


    After walking through the door, Stanley directly carried everything into the master bedroom.


    X, who didn''t have ess to her phone or the television in her room, was asleep.

    The golden hue softened the effects on the darkened room.


    Stanley ced the items in his hands on a table before making a slow approach to the bed.


    He then gently caressed X''s hair.


    Sensing that somebody had entered the room, her eyes flew open to meet his tender gaze right away.


    Beep, beep, beep-


    And then, Stanley''s phone started ringing.
