The commotion at the door immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Just then, behind Emily, Fanny had received a call, so she quickly returned to the dressing room.
Soon after, Stanley Batton’s strikingly tall and aloof profile entered everyone’s vision. His lush short black hair was combed back loosely, his features were perfectly defined and flawless. The crisp white shirt was paired with a tailor-fitted dark blue suit making his figure look exceptionally remarkable.
In an instant, the surroundings seemed dull. The man had a strong and pressuring aura as he stood there like a monarch.
By now, all the women present had become fans of his appearance.
“Ah! I’m dying! Which family does that guy belong to? That face is too handsome to be human.” Mary stared dazedly at him as she kept fawning.
“If he’s not a celebrity, he must be the young master of a dignified family! I totally dig that face. I must get his WeChat contact later.” Lucy was entranced.
“No, that man is mine. Don’t any of you dare to snatch him from me,” Mary ordered as she glared arrogantly at them before taking the initiative to approach him.
Xyla could not resist a smirk before shifting her gaze back to him.
No matter how much attention he received, he remained aloof. His dark eyes calmly saw through the crowd, and among thousands of people, he found Xyla Quest. Just like that, he looked straight at her as he made his way over, looking only at her. Noticing his gaze, Emily immediately turned to Xyla and was abruptly stunned…
‘What is going on? Why is he staring at Xyla? Did she catch his eye?’ Emily was suddenly even more envious of Xyla. novelbin
Mary quickly appeared in front of him and held out her hand. “Hi, hello. I’m Mary Sullivan. The groom getting married today is my brother.”
“Mister, which table do you belong to? I’ll lead you there,” Mary continued saying ardently as her cheeks flushed a slight pink color.
Yet, Stanley had turned a deaf ear on her and did not even spare her a glance as he walked directly toward Xyla before lovingly caressing her hair. “Sweetheart, sorry I’m late.”
Mary suddenly felt that she might go blind from the couple’s display of affection.
Xyla stood up with a smile and affectionately latched onto his arm. “It’s okay, honey. I understand.”
Emily was dumbstruck! There was no place for her to vent her frustrations.
Wasn’t this the handsome guy who had saved Xyla at all cost in front of the Quest mansion’s door the last time?
What was going on?
He was calling Xyla sweetheart. Xyla was calling him honey. So he was Xyla’s husband and not a friend!
Didn’t she try to conceal his existence because he was not a presentable and ugly person?
Yet, this person looked extraordinary and dignified even when among a crowd of wealthy people.
The moment he came over, Emily even felt that Tom Sullivan looked like a black backdrop compared to him.
What kind of bullsh*t luck did Xyla Quest have?
In the past, she had a handsome man like Tom Sullivan. Now, she had an even more handsome husband.
Tom was starting to not believe his eyes as well.
Wasn’t this her friend? He was actually her husband after all!
Wasn’t her husband too terribly ugly that he couldn’t compare to Tom in terms of looks?
He suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. There was nothing more agitating than seeing with his own eyes, his ex who was dismissive of him, latched onto a man even more handsome than him and standing before him.
The others on the same table were all dumbstruck as well. Everyone’s eyes were widened in shock and disbelief. .
Mary froze on the spot, not knowing what to do. That was too embarrassing!
The person she had tried to court was actually Xyla Quest’s husband! And the man did not even spare her a glance! Was Xyla’s husband really this handsome?
The people at the other tables were shocked as well. In an instant, discussions began to spread across the hall.
“How is Xyla’s husband ugly? If this is ugly, I want to be ugly as well!”
