Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2185

Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton had indeed spent very little time with each other during the day, but the opposite was true at night.

"We spend much less time together than we used to since we're both so busy. On top of that, we have to spend time with our children when we get home. We certainly don't have a lot of time with each other," he explained.

"But I don't mind. I don't need you to be with me all the time," she said.

"But I mind," he insisted. "Work is important, but spending time with each other is equally important. Otherwise, we'd grow distant."

Xyla felt warm in her heart when she heard this. She didn't think a man could be more thoughtful than her.

"Wouldn't you be neglecting work to be here with me? Haven't we spent enough time together during my postpartum recovery?" she wondered.

"That's different. I needed to take care of you during your postpartum recovery. That doesn't mean I don't have to spend more time with you after that."

Stanley had always cared about quality time with his wife, ensuring not to neglect her needs no matter how busy he got.

In his mind, every couple required frequent communication and quality time together to maintain a healthy relationship.

His parents had always been that way, and this mindset had been instilled in him as a kid.

He gradually grew up to become the kind of man his father was. He didn't replace anything wrong with that.

Having a career and earning money was important, but maintaining a stable relationship was equally so.

Xyla felt touched by his words again. "Honey, you're so wonderful. But I have a lot of work to do in the afternoon. I can't do much with you even if you're here."

"You don't have to do anything. I just want to look at you," he stated.

Stanley only wanted to watch his wife silently and be near her.

Xyla smiled. "But what if you miss something important at work?"

"What's more important than you in this world?"

Nothing was more important than the woman he married, in his eyes.

"Work is very important, too, honestly," she reminded him.

"Yes, but not as much as you. Don't worry, I've got everything planned out," he replied.

"You're getting distracted," she couldn't resist complaining.

"Yeah, but so what if I get distracted by my wife occasionally, hmm?" he smiled.

"Occasionally? How many times have you done this since I was

"I can't help it," he said before picking her up in his arms wordlessly.

Her heart raced. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing, I'm just tired of standing.

"Won't you get tired holding me like this?" she said, wearing a helpless expression on her face.

"I'll be fine."

"That's a huge fallacy. You'll only feel more tired carrying me like this," she retorted.

Although she was thin, she was still an adult.

How could he feel relaxed like this?

He was better off standing.

"I'm fine," he insisted.

"Did you forget what I said moments ago about being more mindful at the office?" Xyla asked anxiously. "Okay, I'll pay attention next time." "Pay attention now," she laughed.

It rendered her speechless.

It was lunchtime, and so nobody would walk in, anyway. Everyone was either occupied with lunch or resting.
