Stanley Batton slowly took two white handkerchiefs out of his pocket.
After handing one over to Sharon Lindt, he used the other to wipe the sweat off Xyla Quest’s forehead gently and neck.
He was very gentle when he did this.
“I’ll do it myself…” Xyla held Stanley’s hand and said.
“Allow me.” Stanley looked gently at Xyla and continued to wipe her sweat away.
The woman who tried to seduce Stanley, as well as her friends, witnessed all of this.
They were greatly stunned by Stanley’s drastic change in attitude.
Meanwhile, they were also very much impressed with Xyla’s good looks.
Now, the woman who tried to seduce Stanley knew why she failed.
Xyla was a real beauty, but what about her…? Was she just a wildflower in the corner that would never be noticed?
“I didn’t think he could be so gentle.”
“That woman is so pretty… It explains why her husband wouldn’t cheat on her.”
“She looks a little familiar.”
“That man treats everyone coldly except for his wife, whom he also is very protective of. How lucky could this woman get?”
Friends of the woman who tried to seduce Stanley looked at Xyla and Stanley enviously while they discussed among themselves.
The woman didn’t say anything. Her eyes were filled with jealousy.
***
By one o’clock in the morning, Xyla, Stanley, and Sharon finally left the bar.
The couple sent Sharon home before returning to their own house.
As soon as they arrived, Xyla sat exhaustedly on the couch.
The couch was so soft that it sank deeply where she sat down.
