Chapter 2409

Leon Batton chuckled. “Yeah, I know it will be a tough journey ahead, but I won’t look back.”

“I know you can be successful at it. You’re the best I've seen, Leon,” Xyla Quest told him sincerely.

“Thank you for supporting my dream, Mom,” he said softly, feeling his heart warmed by her unwavering support.

She smiled in return. “You don’t need to thank me. Just do your best, and don’t think I’ll go easy on you simply because you joined my club. That won’t be happening.

“I’ll treat you the same as I do everyone else,” she added. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

He nodded.

“Yours and Lynette’s identities have always been a secret. I think that should remain a secret even after you’ve joined us,” she went on.

He nodded again, knowing that his parents wanted to protect them from the public's eyes. The siblings had always followed this rule ever since they were kids.

Everyone freshened up and washed their hands the moment they got home. Then, Xyla sat in the kitchen with her children while Stanley reheated the food.

It was already very late, and the nannies had long retired for the night, so he had to do everything himself.

The other three played with their phones until Stanley had their meals ready.

After the meal, they all returned to their respective rooms.

Xyla and Stanley took a warm bath together before they settled into bed. With the lights off, he hugged her close like he usually did.

They still were very much in love after being married for so many years, and he always embraced her when they slept.

She looked tiny in his arms.

“Our son wants to become a professional gamer. Moreover, he’s really very good at it. That’s why I’ve decided to let him join my eSports team," she told him after a moment of comfortable silence. "You won’t be angry at me, right?

“I remember you saying that you’d respect our children’s interests and hobbies, too. You also said that all you wanted was for them to be healthy and happy,” she added.

Stanley nodded. “Yeah. I won’t mind as long as you don’t. You can decide on everything in our family.”

Her heart warmed instantly.

“I’m glad you don’t mind. I was worried you’d be upset,” she admitted hesitantly.

“Why would I? I always mean what I say,” he assured her.

“Okay. Anyway, I told Leon the condition was that his studies must not be affected, and he agreed.”
