When Xyla Quest saw how Stanley Batton was behaving, she found it extremely amusing. It was very rare to see him acting so childishly…
“In the early stages of pregnancy, the babies can’t understand what you’re saying…
“Can you not be so childish?” Xyla asked as she smiled.
“Even if they can’t understand, I have to say it… I’ll say it every day…” Stanley said.
“Fine… As long as you’re happy,” Xyla said.
“If the two of you aren’t obedient, I’ll beat you up. Hmm?
“Once you’re old enough, you must protect your mother with me. Understood?” Stanley said each word carefully and solemnly.
Xyla gently ruffled Stanley’s hair. Her eyes were full of affection. “You’re making me laugh… Can you actually be this childish?”
However, Stanley looked at Xyla with a serious expression. “Am I childish?”
“Aren’t you?” Xyla replied.
Ding-dong… Ding-dong…
Right then, the doorbell started ringing.
The sudden sound interrupted Xyla’s thoughts.
Xyla immediately pushed Stanley away and stood up. She prepared to open the door…
When Stanley saw this, he immediately stood up as well.
Before Xyla could take a step forward, he dominantly carried Xyla in his arms and carefully placed her on the sofa. Then, with one hand pressing against the sofa, he earnestly looked at Xyla’s face. “Sit still. I’ll open the door. Okay?”
There was an indescribable look of adoration in Stanley’s eyes.
“You’re exaggerating…” Xyla said.
“Like my parents said, I have to take good care of you…” Stanley said.
