When Xyla Quest came downstairs, she looked everywhere for Stanley Batton, but he was nowhere in sight.
“Yes. Something came up at the office, so he’s already left,” Sharon Lindt told her.
“What happened?”
“Nothing major. I think he had to sign a few documents,” Sharon said.
“Oh.”
Seeing that her mother-in-law declined her help, she turned around and walked into the living room with light footsteps.
She then spent some time playing with her two children.
They seemed like a happy family.
Sharon kept herself busy in the kitchen while feeling overjoyed to see everyone enjoying themselves outside.
She thought that she must’ve rescued the galaxy in her past life to deserve to live such a great life now with a wonderful daughter-in-law like Xyla.
She soon finished preparing breakfast that included a tray of delicious-looking bread in various shapes and sizes, three sets of vegetable-and-fruit salad, three sunny-side-up eggs, toasts, freshly made blueberry jam, and orange-flavored milk, which was Xyla's favorite.
With all the tasty food, Xyla couldn’t help but overeat.
After breakfast, Sharon packed some bread for her to bring to the office before she drove off in her red Ferarri.
Once Xyla put everything in its rightful place, she started to work for the rest of the day.
By noon, she realized that she had been so busy yesterday that she'd missed watching Team XS compete.
