Moreover, Xyla Quest didn’t have time to dress up properly…
After lunch, Xyla casually dressed up and left the house…
When Xyla saw her reddened face in the mirror, she couldn’t help but curse at Stanley Batton in her heart.
Once she was done cleaning up, the culprit walked into the bathroom.
There was still a cigarette smell lingering on his body. It mixed with the peppermint cologne he was using, making it smell charming.
“Are you going to take part in League of Legends’ celebrity talent competition today?” Stanley asked.
“Yeah…” Xyla answered softly. After that, she quickly applied the Wintersweet Haute Couture Moisturizer on her face…
“What time does it start?” Stanley asked.
“Two o’clock in the afternoon…” Xyla answered.
“Hmm… I’ll try my best to make it…” Stanley said immediately.
Xyla seemed surprised to hear this. “Didn’t you say you were going to be busy today?”
She recalled that Stanley mentioned he would be swamped today. Not only did he have to take part in several meetings, but he even had to deal with a lot of paperwork. In addition, he also needed to travel to a subsidiary company in the adjacent city.
“I am busy… But I still want to watch my wife take part in the talent competition…” Stanley said.
With that, Stanley slowly squeezed toothpaste on his dark-blue electric toothbrush.
Suddenly, the resentment in Xyla’s heart disappeared completely. “That’s not necessary…”
“It is…” Stanley said.
“What about your work?” Xyla asked.
“Work can be rescheduled, but your talent competition can’t be rescheduled…” Stanley said.
Xyla was speechless.
Stanley deserved full marks for his outstanding logic…
“But the talent competition is only for entertainment purposes. It doesn’t matter…” Xyla said.
Stanley smiled a little. “As long as it’s about you, it matters.”
Xyla instantly felt a sense of warmth spread in her heart.
“What would you like for lunch today?” Stanley asked.
“Anything will do…” Xyla said.
“Okay…” Stanley said.
