Sharon Lindt pinched her forehead in disappointment, releasing a long sigh. “Fine, I’ll start cooking and make your favorite dishes.”
Sharon had always been the one who did the cooking, mostly because she believed that Xyla Quest preferred her cooking.
“You’ve been working all day. Shouldn’t you rest for a while?” Xyla seemed concerned.
“It’s fine. Why would I be tired?” she replied.
“Do you need any help?” Xyla asked.
“You two should wait here. Wilson will help me,” she told them before pulling her husband away.
Once they had left, the nannies followed suit to the kitchen to help out, leaving Xyla, Stanley Batton, Lynette Batton, and Leon Batton the only ones who remained in the living room.
The family of four sat quietly together, making the ambiance seem even more heartwarming and peaceful.
Lynette gently grabbed Xyla’s fingertips with her plump and fair hands, looking adorable as she opened and closed them.
Stanley's eyes rested on his wife. “Let’s exchange. Let me hold Lynette for a while.”
She agreed, carefully maneuvering so that she ended up holding Leon in her arms.
He smiled widely at her, prompting a smile in return.
“I wonder what made them so happy today,” Stanley said.
“I have no idea.”
“It feels like they’ve grown wiser," he exclaimed in amazement. "They’re truly adorable.”
“Of course, I’m their mother,” she said with a smug look.
He smiled affectionately and leaned to kiss his wife on the forehead, gazing lovingly at her. “Yeah, that’s true. With you as the mother of my children, they’re bound to look adorable.”
