After a long while, the handymen began speaking one after another—
“Xyla is truly impressive. Stanley doesn’t even dare to argue with her.”
“Haha! No matter how tough he is to others, he still has to obey his wife when he’s home. What a great man.”
“It must be hard for Stanley when his wife has such a dominant personality.”
“Xyla is the only person who can overpower Stanley.”
“Of course. Have you seen Stanley surrendering to anyone except for Xyla?”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The atmosphere felt very tense in the nursery. Even the nannies didn't dare make a sound.
Meanwhile, Lynette Batton started crying even more loudly when she realized she wasn’t getting what she wanted.
Stanley Batton’s heart hurt even more at the sound of her cries.
He couldn’t bear it anymore, so he handed his daughter over to Xyla and turned around to leave.
He was a rational thinking man, but there were some emotions even he couldn’t control.
He knew how to handle other people and issues, but he was helpless against his wife and children.
Xyla instantly became stern after he departed the room. She gave Lynette a grave look. “Stop crying. You won’t get what you want even if you do.
“Children aren’t supposed to get whatever they want. That applies to everyone. There are many things in this world that we can’t accomplish.”
