When Xyla Quest came downstairs, she looked everywhere for Stanley Batton, but he was nowhere in sight.
“Yes. Something came up at the office, so he’s already left,” Sharon Lindt told her.
“What happened?”
“Nothing major. I think he had to sign a few documents,” Sharon said.
“Oh.”
Seeing that her mother-in-law declined her help, she turned around and walked into the living room with light footsteps.
She then spent some time playing with her two children.
They seemed like a happy family.
Sharon kept herself busy in the kitchen while feeling overjoyed to see everyone enjoying themselves outside.
She thought that she must’ve rescued the galaxy in her past life to deserve to live such a great life now with a wonderful daughter-in-law like Xyla.
She soon finished preparing breakfast that included a tray of delicious-looking bread in various shapes and sizes, three sets of vegetable-and-fruit salad, three sunny-side-up eggs, toasts, freshly made blueberry jam, and orange-flavored milk, which was Xyla's favorite.
With all the tasty food, Xyla couldn’t help but overeat.
After breakfast, Sharon packed some bread for her to bring to the office before she drove off in her red Ferarri.
Once Xyla put everything in its rightful place, she started to work for the rest of the day.
By noon, she realized that she had been so busy yesterday that she'd missed watching Team XS compete.
“I just saw the competition. Everyone did well yesterday,” she typed.
Everyone instantly replied with laughing emojis.
As encouragement, she sent them virtual gift packs that contained money in the group, and everyone was overjoyed.
Then, she offered them a few words of motivation before closing the group chat to resume working.
Time passed by in the blink of an eye until it was time for the spring season tournament’s finale.
She brought Stanley Batton to the competition venue to watch the match that night.
Meanwhile, Josh Batton also showed up with Annabeth Cates discreetly, sitting in the last row among the audience to cheer for Team XS.
