Chapter 2176


    "Your father and I are so much happier because of them. Being a senior feels much more exciting now," Sharon Lindt dered whilebing her fingers through X Quest''s hair gently.


    X wore a soft expression in her eyes. "I''d like to thank you and Dad for looking after the kids."


    "It''s an honor to look after our grandchildren," Sharon said. "They are so precious, I''d do anything for them."


    Hearing that, X couldn''t resist leaning against her shoulder. "Mom, I honestly feel I must have used up all my luck to marry into the Batton family. I''m so lucky to be your daughter-inw."


    "Silly girl," she said. "We feel very lucky to be your parents-inw, too. Which family in Antis has a prettier and kinder daughter-inw than you?"Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Sharon was always saying positive things whenever she talked about X. She seemed to be a true fan of hers.


    "Oh, stop it," X blushed in embarrassment. "I''m not that perfect."


    "Yes, you are. From my perspective, you''re not only the best in Antis but also the best in the world."


    She treasured having a daughter-inw like X and would never exchange her for any amount of money.


    X''s cheeks were still flushed from herpliments. "Thank you. I''m d I have your approval."


    "Thank you for tolerating our cold and unapproachable son," she said.


    "Oh, don''t say that. Stanley isn''t a cold person at all," X said.


    "Only to you. Other people don''t think so," she responded sulkily, which made the younger womanugh out loud.


    While the two of them were speaking, Stanley Batton walked in, surprised to see his mother in the room.


    "Mom? Why are you here?"


    Then, he noticed the luminous pearl bracelet around his wife''s wrist. Stepping forward, he took a seat next to her to take a closer look. "It looks good," he praised.


    "Of course!" his mother eximed. "It''s an antique. Your father and I bought it from an auction abroad."


    "You have good taste," he told her.


    "What did you mean by what you said earlier? Why am I here? Can''t I show up in your room?" she asked defensively.


    "That''s not what I meant. It''ste, so I just thought you might already be asleep."


    “Oh, I should be sleeping, but I couldn''t fall asleep knowing that I haven''t given X the bracelet," she rified.


    "Fine."


    X held her husband''s hand while


    gazing at her. "Mom, you and Dad


    have to stop buying things for


    e.


    Honestly, you don''t have to. I''m not


    lacking anything in the house."


    "Just because you don''tck anything doesn''t mean we don''t need to buy you anything. Besides, we like buying nice things," she replied.


    X chuckled. “Well, why don''t you buy something for Stanley for a change?"


    She was running out of space for more things.


    However, Sharon directly rolled her eyes. "Can''t he buy whatever he wants himself? Besides, men don''t dress up. He only ever buys clothes with limited design options. It''s pointless."


    "Also, why should men dress up so well?" she added.


    "You sure are my mother," he spoke up.


    "Aren''t I right? Men don''t get anything out of dressing up. On the contrary, women look like


    princesses with a bit of makeup," his mother retorted.


    X couldn''t resistughing when she heard this.


    Truthfully, she felt sorry for him. Ever since she became part of the Batton family, his status at home had been deteriorating.


    He didn''t reply, merely shaking his head helplessly since he had already gotten used to the things his mother said.


    Seeing this, X lovingly caressed his face tofort him.
