Chapter 1841

Xyla Quest showed Sophie Kenwick around for several hours that by the time they finished, it was already five o’clock in the evening.On a winter day, that was when the sky was already beginning to turn dark.The house had its lights turned on, making the interior glamorous and as bright as day. After showing Sophie around, Xyla escorted her back into her red Maserati.As Xyla turned on the engine, she turned to look at her companion. “Are you tired? You can rest in my office once we get there.”Sophie felt warm in her heart. “I’m not tired. No matter what we do, I won’t feel tired as long as I do it with you.”Xyla smiled before ruffling Sophie’s hair affectionately. “I’m going to sort out some documents at my office. We’ll come back after I’m done,” she informed her.Sophie nodded in compliance.She was practically a fan of Xyla’s now. She would do anything Xyla told her to.If her Master told her to head east, she would not head west.If she told her to head south, she wo

“Hehe, I just wanted to tell you that I’ve found a sense of belonging because of you.” Sophie Kenwick had a solemn expression on her face.“Good girl, if there’s anything I haven’t done well enough, you can point it out at any time,” Xyla Quest replied.“No, there’s nothing you haven’t done well enough. You’re the best,” Sophie declared.Xyla was in a fantastic mood because of her compliments, feeling that she was practically her source of happiness.And that feeling was mutual as Sophie was fond of Xyla as much as the other way round.Xyla found herself smiling a lot more frequently with the younger girl around.Sophie kept telling amusing anecdotes from her time, making Xyla very happy as she couldn't stop laughing the entire journey.With Xyla’s red Maserati speeding ahead, dozens of luxury cars followed closely, not daring to lag behind. The entourage of luxury cars led by her Maserati was an eye-catching sight on the flat tar road, attracting the attention of the many peo

Sophie Kenwick quickly looked up and walked over to the door to open it.Sebastian Brenand stood outside with an exhausted look on his face.Ever since he went into a serious relationship with Rachel Wood, he seemed much more collected and organized.He was wearing a black suit. He had a serious, yet noble air about him, coming across as a successful person.Sebastian was surprised when he saw Sophie. “Who are you?”“Uhm… I’m my master’s bodyguard,” she replied.Sebastian seemed even more confused when he heard the word ‘master’. “Master?”Why would somebody use such a strange word?“Yeah,” Sophie uttered, wondering what the man was thinking right then.“All right, is your Master in the office?” Sebastian asked.Although Sophie was an attractive woman, he no longer felt interested the way he would in the past.He didn’t have the desire to flirt with Sophie at all.Rachel was his only love in the world.No matter how pretty other women looked, he couldn’t be bothered to let

Chapter 1844

Xyla Quest eyed Sebastian Brenand in curiosity. “Okay, sure. What is it?”He pointed at Sophie Kenwick, who was entertaining herself with an iPad. “Can I have her?”Xyla instantly frowned when she heard this. “Old habits die hard, huh? It hasn’t even been that long, has it?”She genuinely thought that Sebastian had changed his ways, no longer his same old self.As a woman, she thought that Rachel Wood deserved better.Sebastian immediately sobered up when he heard this. “Of course not. I meant to ask if you could let me sign that girl as an artiste at my company. I think she has a lot of potential.”A beautiful lady like Sophie Kenwick would certainly receive a lot of attention in the entertainment industry.He could already see her bright future ahead.Xyla heaved a sigh of relief at his words. “All right, I thought you’ve had a change of heart.”“How’s that possible? I love Rachel with all my heart. That will never change, not until death do us part,” Sebastian declared, loo

Chapter 1845

After Sebastian Brenand left, Xyla Quest shifted her gaze to the documents on her desk that were left unsorted.It was already getting late. She didn’t want to stay in the office and make her husband, Stanley Batton, worry so she decided to resume her work the next day.As she powered down the laptop, she turned to look at Sophie Kenwick who was still entertaining herself on the iPad. “Sophie, are you hungry?”Sophie instantly snapped her head up upon hearing the question, hearing her stomach rumbling at the very moment she gazed back at Xyla. Feeling embarrassed, she scratched her head and said sheepishly, "Yeah, I am hungry.” “In that case, let’s go home and eat. I’m sorry for losing track of time and forgetting about dinner,” Xyla said.Sophie immediately shook her head. “It’s fine, Master.”She then quickly stepped forward and picked up Xyla’s purse and phone, completely giving up on her pride as a former princess and embodying her role as Xyla’s bodyguard.Once everyth

Chapter 1846

A strange sense of familiarity and sadness caused Stanley Batton’s eyes to well with tears.All these weird feelings in his heart were unusual for him.Why did this girl in front of him feel so familiar?In fact, he even felt emotionally hurt on her behalf.He had a nagging feeling that there was an unusual connection between him and this girl in the past.Stanley took a deep breath and addressed Sophie Kenwick. “We… Have we met?”She shook her head while she took in his odd reaction. “No. What’s the matter?” She seemed confused.Stanley frowned and continued to study her face. “Nothing…”Sophie nodded slightly, not fully believing what he said.His reaction made Xyla curious as well.She instantly held his hand gently. “What is it?”Stanley shook his head. “We’ll talk later.”Xyla nodded before pulling Sophie over. “I haven’t officially introduced you two. This is Sophie Kenwick.”The girl extended her hand excitedly to Stanley. “It's nice to meet you, I’m Sophie,” she sa

Chapter 1847

Stanley Batton felt increasingly confused from the depths of his heart.He immediately looked up toward Sophie Kenwick while she cheerfully skipped away.She seemed so familiar from behind, as well.As he gazed at her, an unfamiliar scene appeared before his eyes.He was in a traditional-looking room, where a girl wearing a red silk robe was playing a string instrument with her back to him.The tune she played was the tune Sophie was humming along just then.The unfamiliar scene disappeared as suddenly as it appeared, not giving him enough time to verify that the girl was Sophie.What was going on?Was he hallucinating, or was this part of his forgotten memories?Was that girl in the vision Sophie?If she was, what was the nature of their relationship?When Xyla Quest saw her husband's distraction, she immediately grasped his hand. “Darling, what’s wrong with you? What happened?” she asked softly.Why did he act so strangely after the young girl showed up?She had never se

Chapter 1848

Stanley Batton held Xyla Quest’s face with a loving look on his face, gazing deeply into her glistening eyes. “Xyla, I won’t abandon you for anyone.”“You’re my one and only in this lifetime. No matter how much I cared for her in the past, I would not leave you.“Since everything had already ended in my past life, I’ll let it stay in the past.“If she was my family member in the past, I’ll treat her well and protect her.“But if she was my lover back then, I’ll still treat her kindly, but I won’t love her in this lifetime,” Stanley added.Xyla instantly felt overwhelming warmth in her heart when she heard his words.She then smiled. “I was joking with you, you fool. Why did you take it so seriously?”“You may have asked the question casually, but I can’t reply to it carelessly. Xyla, it’s because I care about you and your feelings. Since I love you so deeply, I won’t allow you to think recklessly,” he replied.“Thank you for loving me this much, Darling. Thank you for letting m

Chapter 1849

Stanley Batton was a normal man.To avoid going any further, he pulled Xyla Quest away once again. “I’ll take a shower.”She nodded. “Okay, go ahead.”He then turned around and entered the bathroom, taking a cold shower to calm himself down.After he had left, Xyla sat down on the couch and picked up her laptop.At first, she wanted to get some work done, but after sitting down, she felt exhausted.So, she logged into League of Legends and decided to play a few rounds to relax.She would continue working after dinner.When Xyla logged into the game, she saw that members of Team XS were all online.She didn’t plan on playing with them, so she prepared to play on her own.But before she could choose the game mode, Alex sent her a message. “Boss, you’re finally online!”“Yeah, what are you up to?” she asked.“I’m doing a livestream,” he replied.“Okay, keep it up.”“Do you want to play a match together? I’ll play as your Support. I’m very good at it,” he stated.Right the

Chapter 1850

“Yes,” Alex replied.“Fine. Since she’s your boss, you’d naturally play as her Support. Umm, nice to meet you, Xyla,” The One said.“Nice to meet you, Xyla. Sorry about being rude earlier. I’m a huge fan of your good looks and skills,” Xin said.“Xyla, can I add you as my friend? I’ll do whatever you ask me to,” Crazy spoke up.“Me, too. I’m very good at playing as Support as well. Please add me.”Xyla Quest instantly smiled when she saw how enthusiastic everyone seemed.She had a charming smile.“Sure, you can all add me later,” Summer replied.“I have the eSports legend herself on my friend list. I feel like I’m glowing!” The One said.“I feel like my entire house is glowing! I’m so lucky,” Xin said.“I feel like my entire house is floating in the sky,” Crazy said, not to be outdone.Xyla didn’t know how to respond.“…” Summer replied.“…” Alex replied.On Alex’s livestream channel—“Hahaha! These are talented people in the world of streamers. Crazy, Xin and The One ce
