At first, Stanley Batton thought Wilson Batton was calling to reprimand him. He didn’t expect Wilson to say this.
Indeed, his wife was literally Wilson’s biological daughter.
“Now, Xyla is the most important person. Regardless of how important the company’s affairs are, you can still put them aside for a while. Understood?” Wilson asked.
Stanley glanced affectionately at Xyla Quest. After that, he placed a piece of steamed chicken in front of her. “Yeah, I understand.”
“Don’t bother going tomorrow. If there’s anything important, get Zack to contact me. You should focus on calming Xyla’s emotions,” Wilson said.
“That works too…” Stanley said.
To be honest, Stanley didn’t want to go to the office for these few days. However, due to a large amount of work waiting for him, he had to go.
Hence, he only allowed himself to take one day off.
Now that his father said so, he naturally agreed to it.
“But can your body handle that?” Stanley asked.
“Don’t worry… I have been very healthy recently,” Wilson said.
“Alright,” Stanley said.
“If I find out that you aren’t spending time with Xyla, you’re dead,” Wilson threatened. His tone suddenly became serious.
When Xyla heard this, she instantly felt warmth in her heart.
Xyla elegantly swallowed the piece of chicken in her mouth. “Dad, it’s fine. I feel much better now. I’m preparing to return to work tomorrow too. Don’t worry about it…”
“Are you sure?” Wilson asked.
“Yeah, I am…” Xyla said.
“Since you’ve decided to go out tomorrow, I won’t care about Stan…” Wilson said.
Xyla chuckled. “Sure.”
Stanley slowly looked up at Xyla. “Are you really ready to go back to work tomorrow?”
Xyla nodded.
Wilson started speaking again. “Stanley, Xyla must surely not have a good appetite today. Did you cook something nice for Xyla?”
