“Stan, why did you get a book? I’ve never seen anyone wearing a book as a pendant. What if you sweat or if it gets wet? Wouldn’t that damage it?”
Sharon Lindt then curiously reached out to finger it, but she suddenly felt a jolt of electricity.
In the next instant, a mysterious force pushed her hand away.
“Ahh!” she yelped before taking a few steps back, her hand feeling tender from the jolt.
She instantly realized that there was something odd about the pendant.
After being exposed to numerous mystical things in the world, she immediately understood what was going on.
Her eyes pierced deeply at Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton, but they simultaneously shook their heads at her, hinting at her not to speak or ask any questions for now.
Sharon nodded knowingly and held her tongue.
Even if they hadn't hinted, she wouldn’t have said anything in front of so many people.
Wilson Batton hurried over and held Sharon’s hand when he noticed her strange behavior. “What is it? Did you get hurt?”
Sharon pulled her hand away swiftly. “Oh, it’s nothing. I just had a jolt, but it’s probably the static electricity on Stan.”
“I see,” Wilson frowned, rubbing her hand tenderly. “You gave me a fright, that's all.”
The intimate moment made the nannies feel envious again.
‘Look at them.’
‘Their children were all grown, and they’re also seniors who had spent so many years together, but they still acted like young lovers.’
These women often felt that Wilson loved his wife deeper than any new couple who had just started dating.
It was something that made one feel truly envious.
“Don’t worry about me. Check on the kids,” she urged him.
