Xyla Quest couldn’t ignore it at all.
At this moment, Stanley Batton hadn’t realized that Xyla had woken up…
He continued talking to someone on the phone. “Hmm… Alright… I understand… Okay…”
Stanley didn’t say much. He only responded with one or two simple words.
As usual, he said very little.
A soft beam of morning sunlight shone against his fair face.
It made his facial features appear unusually distinctive and intricate.
His smooth, fair skin seemed to glow under the sunlight…
After hanging up, Stanley slowly put his phone into his pocket.
He then turned around.
Seeing that Xyla was awake, the cold expression on his face instantly vanished…
Realizing that Xyla’s forehead was covered in sweat, Stanley quickly got onto the bed.
After that, he naturally pulled her into his arms. “Why are you up so early? Hmm? Do you feel uncomfortable? Why are you sweating so much?”
Right then, the clock on the wall showed that it was seven o’clock in the morning.
Xyla shook her head. “No… I just feel a little hot.”
Last night, she had already made Stanley worry enough.
She didn’t want Stanley to keep worrying about her.
“Did you have a nightmare? Did you dream about what happened last night?” Stanley asked.
Even if Xyla didn’t say it out loud, Stanley could see right through Xyla’s weakness.
Xyla shook her head. “No…”
