A headline popped out on the phone screen. It was about the fireworks at Rosales Manor that had been going on the whole night.
Apparently, the fireworks at Rosales Manor had become the top trending topic right now. It was going haywire in the country.
In addition to the description of the beautiful fireworks throughout the night, the news had begun a widespread speculation about the identity of the owner of Rosales Manor, as well as the reason he or she was doing it.
The news editor had listed down all the nobilities in Atlantis to find out the owner’s real identity, and the list included the young master of Dragon Group.
As for a reason, the owner kept the fireworks going all night long around Rosales Manor, the news editor guessed that the owner was trying to woo his beloved with the fireworks.
Moreover, countless netizens were sharing their opinions on this matter in the comment section below.
“If the owner is really doing it for a girl, I can’t deny that I’m so envious of that girl.”
“So this is how the romantic love life of a rich man looks like? Love it! Love it! But isn’t that against the rules? That’s illegal, right? I thought we’re not allowed to set off fireworks?”
“I can smell strong jealousy from you all men. The fireworks are not banned in the district where Rosales Manor is located, alright? I’m so speechless.”
“I’m focusing on something totally different from the rest of you. You’re all curious about the identity of the owner of Rosales Manor but I’m wondering who that beauty is. I would love to take her home.”
“Seriously? Going through all the trouble just to woo a beauty? This man must have gone mad. He’s very much like the ancient emperor.”
“The one above me, you’re just jealous, aren’t you?”
Xyla Quest did not notice it, but a smile had started forming on her face again as she scrolled through the comments.
Noticing the changes in her expressions, Stanley Batton stepped close to take a look at her phone screen.
After he read some of the comments, he smiled too. Stretching his arms, he held Xyla by her hand and walked her to the living room sofa. He then pulled Xyla onto his laps and rested his chin on her shoulder, reading the comments together with her.
After scrolling through the comment sections, Xyla slowly leaned her head back and stared at Stanley’s perfect jawline. Her other hand proceeded to gently stroke his hair. “The fireworks at Rosales Manor… went viral on the internet.”
“I know.” His emotionless eyes met hers. Taking the phone from Xyla’s palm, he threw the phone aside and kissed her lips. Then, he went on with a couple of soft and light kisses.
Though their lips had just barely touched, Xyla could feel her heart racing so fast as if it was going to pound out of her chest the very next second.
“Do you like that manor?” He asked.
“Well… It’s beautiful.” Xyla answered truthfully.
