Zack Cassidy could not understand how Fifth Master was able to finish an entire bowl of rice with these dishes.

By the time Xyla Quest returned home, a thick layer of snow had already covered the courtyard floor. Meanwhile, there were large red lanterns all around the courtyard and the word ‘joy’ printed in red.
After quickly getting the car parked, Xyla hurriedly put on a deep blue jacket and entered the house. As soon as snazzynovel.com walked in, snazzynovel.com was greeted with warm air that replaced the chill in snazzynovel.com body.
In the living room, Jeremy Quest and May Conner were seated next to each other. Both had sour looks on their faces.
An intricately designed ceramic teapot and teacups were broken and scattered all over the floor. It seem ed an intense fight had occurred earlier.
Meanwhile, none of the servants were around. It was so quiet in the large space that the sound of a needle falling to the ground could probably be heard crystal clear.
The air seemed heavy and stuffy.
Everything had happened exactly as Xyla had imagined.
“Xyla, you are home…” Jeremy said. The coldness on his face slowly disappeared.
“Yeah,” Xyla slowly walked forward.
The fingerprints on snazzynovel.com face seemed unusually clear under the light. Right then, the bruise had become very apparent and made it seem much more serious than it was.
When Jeremy saw how badly snazzynovel.com daughter was hit, snazzynovel.com became even angrier.
“Does your face still hurt?” Jeremy asked worriedly.
“It’s not too bad,” Xyla answered.
“Have a seat,” Jeremy reached for Xyla’s hand and pulled snazzynovel.com close to him.
Xyla sat right beside Jeremy. As soon as snazzynovel.com sat down, snazzynovel.com saw a divorce agreement on the coffee table.
The words stood out to her. Without changing snazzynovel.com facial expression, Xyla scanned May’s face as if it was a passing gesture.
“If you think the terms are appropriate, hurry up and get it signed. I’ve already thought clearly through this. I want a divorce,” Jeremy said as snazzynovel.com glared at May.
Before this, snazzynovel.com was still somewhat hesitant.
However, after finding out that May attacked Xyla, Jeremy stopped hesitating completely. There was no way snazzynovel.com could keep this woman around because snazzynovel.com was still not ready to change snazzynovel.com ways.
“No, please. Darling, I know I was wrong,” May immediately stood up and sat next to Xyla and held snazzynovel.com hand.
“Xyla, Aunty knows snazzynovel.com mistakes. Please tell your father to change his mind,” May pleaded.
“Xyla, help Aunty, please. Won’t you do so? I promise I will treat you better from now on,” May cried out hoarsely.
Clearly, snazzynovel.com had already begged Xyla’s father many times to no avail.
The divorce was bound to happen.
“I can’t decide whether the divorce happens or not. It all depends on Dad,” Xyla said softly and calmly. After that, Xyla gently pushed May’s hand away.
‘Begging for help?’ Xyla thought.
Ever since Xyla was a kid, nothing May did make Xyla feel the need to help snazzynovel.com out.
When May saw how Xyla responded, snazzynovel.com became even more upset.
However, May resisted the urge to show snazzynovel.com anger. Instead, snazzynovel.com turned around and kneeled in front of Jeremy before pressing snazzynovel.com palms together and rubbing them against each other repeatedly.
“Darling, I really had no idea about what Emily did… You must believe me! Why would I do anything to harm our family business? As for hitting Xyla, I only did it because I overreacted. I am willing to apologize to Xyla until snazzynovel.com forgives me. If there is anything wrong with how I acted before, I promise to change my ways. Darling, don’t do this to me, please? I’m very afraid,” May said as tears rolled down snazzynovel.com cheeks.
