Xyla Quest struggled to get up, but Stanley Batton forcefully pressed her down onto his lap. "Be good... Wait for me, hmm?"

Now, Xyla suddenly felt awkward and embarrassed as her face turned red.

His embrace was making her heart beat so fast she felt as if it would soon leap out of her chest.

Stanley turned off his laptop right away before unplugging his earphones. "Let's go out and eat," he said as he looked at Xyla.

"Who said you could cook?" Stanley asked.

"My body is almost fully recovered. Why can't I cook?" Xyla said.

"Even if it's almost fully recovered, you still aren't allowed to cook," he said.
