As soon as Xyla Quest finished speaking, Stanley Batton stood up and picked her up without saying a word before placing her on a chair.
Xyla, who had just calmed herself down with much difficulty, began to feel her heart racing again. “You… What are you doing?”
Stanley placed one hand on the table and the other on the back of Xyla’s chair, forming a circle around her. He leaned slightly closer to look at her blushing face. “Sit still. I’ll get the door, okay?”
They were so close to each other that, if she looked up, she would be able to kiss his lips again.
His facial features were like a celestial sculpture. His face would seem exquisite even when magnified. There was not a single flaw on his face.
Ding-dong… Ding-dong…
The doorbell started ringing again.
Stanley looked at her deeply before slowly standing up and straightening his back. He then turned around and walked away.
When Xyla saw him walking away, she suddenly found it much easier to breathe.
The sense of oppression surrounding her had disappeared as well.
Xyla immediately let out a long sigh. After that, she tried to breathe deeply to stop herself from thinking about the images that made her heart race.
After glancing at the monitor, Stanley saw Georgie standing in front of the door. He pressed on a button to unlock the gate.
“Who is it?” Xyla asked from the dining room.
“Georgie Clementine,” he said.
Xyla immediately stood up, holding onto the corner of the table. She then walked over to the entrance and waited for Georgie.
Although she was conscious and alert, she still felt very dizzy, and her legs were weak.
To avoid another accident, Xyla leaned against the wall directly.
