Chapter 2239


    X Quest finished with work after replying to each email.


    She immediately stood up, checking the time on herputer again to discover that it was already seven o''clock in the evening. Outside the French windows behind her, she could see lights of greens and reds everywhere.


    Turning around, she walked over to those windows, mesmerized by the lively night scenery of the city that came into sight.


    The spotless mirror in front of her reflected her appearance right now.


    She seemed tired.


    Feeling some stiffness, X pinched her neck and gently rotated her head slightly, feeling much more rxed after.


    She remained standing near the windows to observe the view outside for a while. She then picked up her limited-edition Hermes purse and phone before preparing to leave.


    Right then, the office door opened, and Stanley Batton strolled in.


    He wore a white shirt and formal ck pants, his long legs apparent with his shirt tucked in.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    He had the perfect body proportions.


    Despite seeing her husband every day, X was still mesmerized by him.


    "Are you done with work?" he asked, stepping forward to hug her.


    "Yeah, I am, but why are you here? Weren''t we supposed to meet at home?"


    "Yes, but I came because I missed you," he replied.


    She smiled sweetly. "Let''s have hot pot at home tonight. I already told Mom this morning."


    He nodded in agreement.


    "Shall we go to the supermarket for groceries?" she asked.


    He nodded again, then they both walked out of the office.


    As soon as they were outside, Stanley''s phone started ringing, so he retrieved it from his pocket and nced at it.


    It was a message from an unknown number. "Mr. Batton, are you at home?"


    His brows furrowed when he read the message. He then proceeded to delete the message after blocking the number.


    X observed all this from the corner of her eyes. "Who was that?"

    husband very well. She was very confident about their rtionship, and nobody would be able to steal him from her.


    He wouldn''t love anybody else apart from her.


    "I don''t know. I''ll check who the number belongs to and fire that person directly," he said.


    "Must you be so merciless?"


    "Why not? Should I spare her?" he asked.


    "It''s normal for girls to admire you. After all, you''re such a good man," she told him.


    "I don''t need their admiration."


    "Perhaps she might have some work-rted issue to discuss with you," shemented further.

    "That''s true," X chuckled.

    He then affectionately ruffled her hair. "Silly girl.”


    Smiling broadly, she leaned against him, holding his arm, and giggling like a child.


    The couple detoured to the supermarket to purchase some ingredients for the hot pot before heading home together.
