Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2234

The twins welcomed their father, Stanley Batton, and began to play with him.

No matter which toy he asked for, they would willingly give it to him as long as the three of them were having fun.

Gentle as he was, Stanley seemed to be surrounded by a halo while creating happy memories with his kids.

He accompanied them until almost noon before heading to the office, even though he had a lot of work pending.

En route there, he received a call from Zack Cassidy. "Mr. Batton, we are all waiting for you to chair the meeting. Have you been delayed for some reason?"

He calmly glanced at his watch then, discovering it was already eleven o'clock.

Yesterday, he had set up a meeting with high-level executives at ten o'clock this morning.

It completely slipped his mind while busy playing with his children.

He pinched his forehead calmly. "I was spending time with the kids and forgot about it. I'll be there right away."

With that, he ended the call, not realizing that Zack's phone was on loudspeaker mode, so all the executives heard his comment.

They couldn't help but exchanged glances with each other-

"Who would believe that the man feared by everyone in the corporate world would forget about such an important meeting by spending time with his children?"

"I can tell he adores his two children. I am not only envious of his wife, but now I'm also envious of his children."

"To be honest, I don't mind being his kid if I can't be his wife. I wished he was my Daddy. Ha!"

They each spoke in turn, with Zack nodding in agreement.

Stanley arrived at the office at noon, so the meeting officially began.

Instead, he seemed like his usual cold and unapproachable self.

Stanley completed his work in the evening and went home early to play with the kids in the nursery.

When Xyla walked through the door, she caught the three of them spending quality time together, making her smile broadly.

Her husband was indeed protective of his kids.

He greeted her with a soft smile when he saw her. "Welcome home, Darling. Come and play with our kids."

She happily agreed, so the family of four played with various stuffed toys.

The two successful business tycoons rediscovered their inner child again with their own kids.

Rachel regarded them icily while Sebastian seemed bored with his arm around her waist protectively.

He couldn't be bothered to show his parents any respect.
