“What is it?” Xyla Quest asked excitedly.
“She used to take my dad to the nightclub and ask a table of girls to drink and play cards with them,” Stanley Batton added.
Xyla could not believe what she had just heard. It was mind-blowing.
Was he talking about her mother-in-law?
“This is the first time I’ve heard of something like that.” Her utter shock was reflected in her eyes.
“Oh well…”
“Wasn’t she afraid that Dad would fall for those girls?”
“Not at all. She does whatever she wants because she knows that Dad loves her.” Stanley continued, “My dad is a loyal man. No matter how many girls try to seduce him, he’ll never look at them. Mom is his world.”
Judging from the way Stanley spoiled her, Xyla began to wonder if it was a kind of ancestral gene passed to him from his father.
Once again, Stanley lowered his head and gently kissed the back of her hand. “Xyla, I’ll do the same too.”
His words warmed Xyla’s heart at once. “Really?”
“I promise,” Stanley answered firmly.
A lovely smile blossomed on Xyla’s face. “Alright, I trust you.”
She would believe whatever he said.
It was because he was the person he loved the most.
“Speaking of which, the Sullivan family has sold a dozen factories again in the past two days,” Stanley recounted.
Xyla had expected that to happen.
After what Stanley Batton did to their company, it was impossible for Sullivan Food Group to turn itself round again.
“Their financial status is now considered stable but there will be a steep decline in their influence in the food industry in the future,” Stanley said half-heartedly.
“Okay.” Likewise, Xyla showed zero interest in the Sullivan family.
“Where’s Mom going?” Stanley changed the subject.
“Mom asked us to drive downtown and meet her at Indulgence,” Xyla replied.
“Alright.”
