Xyla Quest had only eaten not too long ago. Frankly, she wasn't feeling very hungry. However, she didn't say anything and instead followed Catherine Batton into the bathroom to wash their hands. Once they were done, Catherine joyfully tugged her along. "Sister-in-law, I'm so glad that I can finally address you as that in public. I'm also very sorry for not telling you the truth before this." "Alright, stop mentioning these things. I have already said that I understand." Xyla affectionately pinched Catherine's cheek.

With a chuckle, Catherine dragged Xyla into the dining room.

By then, everyone else had already washed their hands and were seated at the dining table.

When Stanley Batton saw Xyla entering, he immediately stood up and pulled a chair out for her before moving her closer to himself.

There was a full table of dishes with all imaginable varieties, and they all looked and smelled good.

Although Xyla was already full, her mouth still salivated when she saw these delicious dishes.

"Let's eat, let's eat..." Sharon looked cheerfully at Xyla and said.

"I have specifically made these according to your preferences, Xyla. Do you like them?" Sharon added.

Xyla fed herself a mouthful of oyster-sauce lettuce, and she couldn't help but raise her thumb. "Yeah, it tastes great."

Satisfied, Sharon sat down. She seemed very happy. "Hmm, if you like it, I'll cook for you often in the future."

"Xyla, you are clearly more loved than I am. Sharon rarely even cooks dishes I like for me." Wilson sighed. Embarrassed, Xyla flung her long hair behind her shoulders before chuckling.

"Xyla is my favorite person in the family. That's why I want to treat her nice. Do you have a problem with that?" Sharon immediately said.

Wilson quickly shook his head. "I wouldn't dare. Besides, there's nothing wrong with treating one's daughter-in-law well."

When Xyla saw how Sharon and Wilson interacted with each other warmly, as well as how everyone else appeared, she felt very at home.

Although they were from a respectable family, the interaction among them didn't seem any different from normal households.

Xyla liked this feeling.

After eating, Xyla and Stanley spent some time with Stanley's family before they left.

Outside, there were all sorts of colors and shapes under the dim moonlight. Peach blossoms and pear blossoms were in full bloom on both sides of the road, and their fragrant scent wafted into their car with the help of a night breeze, making them feel at ease.

While Stanley drove his black Honda, Xyla sat in the passenger seat and silently observed the night scenery.

"Do you want some music?" He asked.

"Yeah."

Stanley put on some music in the car right away.

Soon, an English song began to play.

As the song played in the background, observing the night scenery felt a little different.

"What song is this? It's nice..." Xyla said.

"Because... I Love You," Stanley said.

"Hmm... It sounds very good," Xyla said.

Stanley smiled a little. With one hand on the steering wheel, he reached for her hand with the other.

Xyla allowed him to hold her hand while her heart raced.

When she realized they were not headed home, she immediately turned to look at him. "Where are you taking me?"

"Somewhere to sell you off," Stanley joked.

"Oh, okay," Xyla replied with a smile.

"I'm just kidding. I wouldn't be able to..." He added.

Xyla felt touched from the bottom of her heart.

"You... Where exactly are you taking me?"
