Xyla Quest immediately turned her attention to Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton. “To be honest, Stanley doesn’t have it easy either.”
She wished they could be more concerned about Stanley Batton too.
“Isn’t it only right for men to work hard? Otherwise, who would take care of the family? How else would we have such a wonderful daughter-in-law?” Sharon asked.
“That’s right. I agree,” Wilson spoke up.
She didn’t know how to respond to that.
“Honey, you should drink the chicken soup while it's warm. I’ll get my own,” Stanley urged.
After that, he handed Lynette Batton over to his father before heading into the kitchen.
Right then, his mother picked up the bowl of chicken soup and began carefully feeding Xyla as if she was taking care of a baby.
Xyla felt uneasy about it as her parents-in-law already had to take care of the children, and cook for the family.
She didn’t want to have things done for her all the time.
Setting Lynette down, she reached for the bowl of chicken soup instead. “Let me do it myself, Mom. You should rest for a while.”
“No,hold onto Lynette. Let me feed you. Good girl,” Sharon insisted.
It was too awkward to disagree, so she obeyed helplessl while Sharon remained focused and careful.
The nannies nearby couldn’t resist talking—
“Ms. Quest, you’re so lucky.”
