Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1273

While speaking, Xyla Quest picked up her gilt makeup mirror on the table and stood up.

She didn’t leave right away. Instead, she checked her makeup in the mirror.

Although a long time had passed, her makeup hadn’t worn off at all.

It all looked the same as when she first put the makeup on.

After that, Xyla put down the makeup mirror satisfactorily and prepared to leave.

Stanley Batton instantly reached out and pulled her onto his lap. “It’s so late. How could I feel safe letting you go out on your own, hmm?” he asked softly by her ear.

His voice was like a beautiful melody played using a violin. There was a deep yet noble quality to it.

Due to the close distance, his warm breath brushed against her ear and neck. It gave Xyla tingling sensations, almost as if electric currents were passing through her.

In a mere instant, her heart started beating wildly…

Regardless of how long they had been together, Xyla would always be easily charmed by this man.

“What’s there to worry about? Your wife knows how to fight,” Xyla chuckled.

“Most men can’t possibly beat me,” Xyla said confidently.

“I still feel worried…” Stanley said.

“Why?” Xyla asked.

“There’s no reason. I just want to be with you, can’t I?” Stanley asked.

Xyla immediately felt a warmth spread in her heart. “Why are you so clingy?” she asked.

“Say, if people around you knew that the formidable Mr. Batton is a clingy person, would they laugh their heads off?” Xyla asked jokingly.

“I don’t care what other people think. I just want to be close to you,” Stanley said.

“Don’t you need to work?” Xyla asked.

“Work is important, but spending time with my wife is also very important. Let’s go…” With that, Stanley picked Xyla up and stood up.
