Xyla Quest was like an angel to the children, being even more gentle than she was in the past.
Seeing his wife like this made Stanley Batton adore her even more.
He felt like the happiest man in the world when he watched his beautiful wife and adorable children together.
Likewise, Xyla also felt like the happiest woman in the world and wished the joy and peace would last a while longer.
She wanted it to last as long as possible, even forever.
The one thing she was most afraid of now was that their peace would get disrupted by something from the outside world, despite knowing it would happen sooner or later.
Thinking about it made her distracted.
Wilson Batton and Sharon Lindt approached her with bird’s nest and chicken soup right then, setting the bowls down as they spoke at the same time—
“Xyla, have some chicken soup.”
“Xyla, have some bird’s nests.”
Both dishes looked appetizing.
She was already famished, so looking at those made her even hungrier.
“Is there only a single portion? What about Stanley’s?” she asked.
“There’s more, but he can get them by himself if he wants any,” his mother said dismissively.
Hearing this made him feel even more certain about his status in the family, prompting his wife to feel sorry for him.
She pushed the chicken soup bowl over to him. “Here, drink this. I’ll get some more.”
