Xyla Quest instantly blushed. “You’re so annoying… Are we going to eat or not?”
“Yes. You should eat more,” Stanley Batton said.
Xyla’s face instantly turned completely red to her neck. Even her heart began to beat out of control.
Then, Stanley carefully placed her on her seat. He then placed the dining utensils on her rice bowl.
As soon as they sat down, Stanley started peeling prawns for her.
He seemed to do it so skillfully with a look of seriousness on his face.
Come to think of it, Xyla hadn’t peeled prawns ever since she and Stanley got together.
Whenever she ate prawns, Stanley would be the one who peeled them for her.
She was like the apple of his eye. He pampered her all the time.

Beep, beep, beep—
The next day at noon, Xyla was woken up by the ringing of her phone…
When she heard the sound, she only opened her eyes slightly. After that, she immediately closed her eyes…
After a while, she gently reached for her phone above her bedhead and proceeded to answer it with her eyes closed.
She could hear Sebastian Brenand’s voice. “Xyla, are you busy?”
Sebastian’s voice sounded a little lazy…
“No… What’s up?” Xyla asked.
