After ensuring it was tender enough, Betty Starmount turned off the stove, then retrieved a box from her pocket that contained a mysterious black powder. She sprinkled the powder over the dish, quickly dissolving into the sauce without a trace.She then cleaned the box and tossed it into the trash can before carefully carrying the braised pork into the dining room.She stood staring at the dish for a long while with trepidation upon placing the dish on the table. She then returned to the kitchen and brought all the other dishes into the dining room.The dishes included braised pork, pork ribs, sour-and-spicy stir-fried potato strips, steamed fish, sea cucumber with scallions, bird’s nests, and savory duck stew.Everything looked appetizing and smelled great.Once the table had been set, she went to address everyone in the living room. “Dinner is ready, everybody.”Jeremy was joyfully holding Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton’s hands as he spoke to them.Seeing his joyful grin, Betty

Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton’s heads were completely covered in white by the time they arrived home.They both flicked off all the snow before entering their house.Inside, the heater was on full blast, making it feel like a completely different world from the outside.Xyla instantly felt active after entering the warm house.Removing Stanley’s coat, she glanced at him. “Are you sure you’re not cold?”Xyla was already freezing even though they’d only walked in the snow for less than ten minutes.“Not at all.”“You sure are resistant to the cold,” Xyla retorted and then rubbed her hands together while she quickly ran over to the couch. She picked up a white blanket to cover her legs until she soon felt warm again.Stanley unhurriedly put away their shoes before sitting down next to her, his arms extending to sit her forcefully on his lap.Xyla leaned against him naturally before she picked up her phone and opened Weibo to examine the current list of hot topics.The topics fro

Xyla Quest nodded. “I’ll do it myself.”“I’ll peel it for you,” Stanley Batton told her.“But I would like to eat the roasted sweet potatoes first,” she said.“You can have it first.”Xyla happily began to eat a sweet potato after peeling one.The sweet potatoes Zack Cassidy bought were all tiny but sweet.Outside, it was snowing.It felt right to be eating roasted sweet potatoes on a snowy day like this.After taking two bites, Xyla brought the sweet potato close to Stanley’s mouth. “Here, have a taste. It's really sweet.”He slowly took a bite. “Yeah, you can eat this. I don’t really like them.”While Xyla ate without care, Stanley started peeling the stir-fried, sugary chestnuts for her.It was such an ordinary moment, yet she felt extraordinarily happy.Happiness should be simple like that.After finishing the sweet potatoes, she started on the chestnuts Stanley had peeled.Without realizing it, she ended up eating everything.She rubbed her stomach guiltily upon rea

With her perfect maneuvers and the help of Lin, her Support, Xyla Quest was able to kill their two opponents in the bottom lane behind the enemy tower within five minutes of the game.“Xyla, you really do have god-like moves. Can I add you as my friend later?” Lin asked.Although she had said some awful things to Xyla earlier, she didn’t mind because she was quite a good player.Xyla immediately responded. “Okay, sure.”“Thank you, Xyla. If you ever want to play next time, I’m willing to do anything to help you,” Lin wrote.Her team managed to destroy the enemy’s top and bottom lanes in ten minutes. The game ended in fifteen.Everyone in the team showered her with praises, sending her friend requests, which she accepted.All five team members played another match because of how much fun they had together.The praises for her performance kept coming.After winning three consecutive games, Xyla logged out before texting Alex on WeChat. “I’m going to sleep. You guys should rest,

Xyla Quest rubbed her belly gently, a strong sense of joy filling her heart.Stanley Batton strolled in just as she was about to turn off the lights, attired casually in black and looking elegant and tall.He laid down next to her after turning off the lights, his arms wrapped around her. “Why were you playing this late? Don’t you have work tomorrow?”“I do, I just haven’t played for a long time. I couldn’t resist it,” she answered.“Are you still a child?” Stanley sounded somewhat helpless. “I really couldn’t resist it. I had far too fun,” she said.“Such a kid.”He rubbed his chin against the top of her head, smelling the light scent of roses as he hugged her tightly in his arms.Inhaling deeply, he gently kissed her on the lips. “I’ll wait until after the baby is born.”He tightened his hug. “Let’s sleep, kiddo.”Xyla’s heart was beating rapidly, but she remained quiet. Closing her eyes, she leaned against his chest. She fell asleep to the beats of his heart and the sound
