Stanley Batton did not say anything else. He pulled Xyla Quest onto his lap and caressed her lovingly as though she was a fragile gem.
"Master Lancelot has already taught her a lesson. He said that she'd be treated the way she wantedto be treated," Xyla said.
"Mhm." Stanley responded apathetically.
"How did you and Master Lancelot meet?" Xyla asked.
"Dragon Group has dealings with his legal company," Stanley answered truthfully. His slim fingers ran through her hair gently, as if he was patting a noble Persian cat.

The helicopter gradually landed on the helipad.
Zack Cassidy was the first to get out of the helicopter. He then walked over to open the door for the two of them, courteously.
Carrying Xyla carefully in his arms, Stanley jumped out of the helicopter and headed straight to the living room. The living room was warm and cozy.

Stanley carefully placed her on the sofa before cupping her face in his hands while whispering, "You must take bodyguards with you from tomorrow, onward." "Okay." Xyla nodded obediently. She then crept toward Stanley and sat on his lap, hugging him as tight as she could. "Feels good to be safe." "Yeah." Stanley returned her hug enthusiastically, his chin gently rubbing against the top of her hair. "You should be hungry by now. I've made dinner before I left the house. I'll go warm it up for you, alright?" "Okay. I'll take a shower first before having dinner." Stanley lifted her up and went upstairs without saying a word.
"Leavealone. I can do it myself..." "I'll do it." Stanley refused to put her down. Having no other choices, Xyla kept her mouth shut and allowed the man to continue carrying her all the way to the bathroom.

Noticing Xyla's presence in the dining room, Stanley put away his phone without hesitation and glanced at her.
When their eyes meet, the coldness in his eyes instantly melted away. A flicker of a smile played upon his lips ashe as he waved at her. "Cover to eat." Xyla returned a hearty grin before sitting down beside him and picking up the chopsticks.
The two of them did not talk much during the meal. Xyla was so hungry that food was all that was on her mind right now.
While Xyla was busy eating, Stanley would peel the shrimps for her from tto time.
Neither of them mentioned what happened on the cruise again.
