“You’re part of the family. Why should you feel embarrassed?” Stanley Batton asked blandly.
Xyla Quest remained silent.
“Eat some beef,” Stanley said before placing a slice of beef on Xyla’s plate.
“What do you think we should get Aunty Lindt… No, I mean, Mother. What should we get her? Do you know what she needs?” Xyla asked.
“Yes,” Stanley said calmly.
“What is it?” Xyla’s face lit up with joy.
“She needs a grandchild. A grandchild from you,” Stanley said with an affectionate look in his eyes.
Xyla immediately felt her heart tighten when she heard this.
“What are you saying?” Xyla rolled her eyes at Stanley directly. She then lowered her head and continued to eat.
“I’m not talking to you,” she added.
“Embarrassed?” Stanley asked.
“Nobody’s embarrassed.”
“If you’re not embarrassed, why is your face red?” he asked.
“My face is red because it’s hot, alright?” Xyla responded.
“Sure, whatever you say.”
After that, Stanley chuckled a little without realizing it.
Xyla didn’t look up at him, and she also didn’t say another word. Instead, she ate silently.
Occasionally, she could sense him looking at her.
Whenever this happened, her heart would clench.
