Chapter 2407


    X Quest gave Leon Batton a high-five to celebrate their victory.


    She then smiled and saluted him. “You were great!”


    “Of course,” he smiled smugly before asking, “Another round?”


    She was even more eager to y now.


    She quickly formed a team and invited her son to join her.


    Just like that, the two quickly became addicted to the game.


    The feeling of finding an equally capable teammatepelled them to y until half-past ten in the


    evening.


    To avoid distractions, they even silenced their phones.


    Stanley Batton noticed their absence at home and started calling to look for them, but neither


    answered.


    They hadpletely lost track of time.


    After winning another match at eleven o’clock, X finally shifted her gaze to the time in the bottom


    right corner of theputer screen.


    She was shocked that they had been at it for hours and hadn''t realized it had gotten sote.


    “We should stop. Look at the time,” she gazed at Leon in rm. As she spoke, her stomach began


    to growl.


    They even forgot to have dinner because they were preupied with games.


    She needed to self-reflect, she realized.


    How could she do that as a mother?


    To y games with her son all day, not going home despite thete hour, and forgetting to eat.


    She could only me the fact that she hadn’t had time to indulge in gamestely that this


    happened.


    Leon was equally shocked when he discovered the time.


    “Oh no, I didn’t think it was thiste. Mom, let’s hurry up and go home.”


    He took his phone out as he spoke and saw many missed calls on the screen.


    The calls were all from Stanley and Lte Batton.


    He immediately showed her the missed calls on his phone. “Look!”


    X felt immensely guilty when she saw those and instantly retrieved her own phone.


    Just as she expected, there were even more missed calls from her husband and daughter on her


    call logs.


    They even texted her on WeChat, expressing their worries about herck of reply.


    She didn''t know what to say.


    “We should go home right away,” Leon urged.


    “Of course, but let me give your father a call first,” she replied right before the door opened from the


    outside.


    Stanley, who wore a grim expression, walked in with Lte.


    When X saw them, she averted her eyes guiltily like a child caught doing something wrong.


    Meanwhile, her son hastily jumped to his feet with his head lowered respectfully. “Dad.”


    His father first nced at theirputer screens before approaching them. “Did you two disappear


    just to y games?”

    “It wasn’t intentional. I didn’t want this to happen either,” X replied first. "But Leon and I worked


    so well as a team, and that''s why-"


    “Are you still a child?” Stanley interjected with a helpless shake of his head.


    At first, he was furious, but that was more him being worried sick than anything else. However, his


    anger dissipated when he saw X''s face, realizing that he could never be angry at his wife.


    She let out an awkward chuckle. “No, but it’s really fun to y with Leon.”


    Her husband was speechless.


    So, he med his son instead. “Speak. Why did you lead your mother astray?”
