Which blueprint would Emily Quest steal from the ones Xyla Quest threw away?
Xyla was really looking forward to finding out.
“Beep, beep, beep…” Right then, Xyla’s phone started ringing.
When she saw it was a WeChat video call from Stanley Batton, she immediately smiled. Xyla got up and walked over to the french window before answering the call.
Very soon, Stanley’s face appeared on the phone screen.
He was wearing a well-ironed white shirt. His hair was airy and volumized, and it seemed he had only just washed it.
Without any wax on his hair, it seemed naturally curvy.
Since this hairstyle covered his fierce-looking brows, it made Stanley appear less intimidating.
“Honey, isn’t it ten o’clock at night where you are? Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Xyla asked.
“Hmm. I wanted to check on you before I sleep,” Stanley said, smiling.
When Xyla heard that, she immediately started laughing. “Well, you have done it now. Go to bed. I’m at my father’s place.”
“Hmm… Do you miss me?” Stanley asked.
“Yeah. There are guests here. Be careful with what you say…” Xyla reminded him for fear that he might say something inappropriate.
“Okay… Pass your phone to Dad… I want to say hello,” Stanley said.
Xyla instantly brought the phone over to Jeremy.
When Jeremy saw Stanley, he waved passionately at him. “Hey, Stan… How are you?”
“Hey, Dad. How have you been for the past few days?” Stanley asked.
“All is well. Have things been going smoothly for you overseas?” Jeremy asked.
“Very much so…” Stanley said.
“Take care of yourself. Don’t exhaust yourself too much… ” Jeremy said.
“Okay, I will. Take care of yourself too, Dad.” Stanley was behaving like the perfect son-in-law when he spoke to Jeremy.
