Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1393

“Would I have been able to pick up your call so quickly if I were asleep?” Georgie Clementine said.

“That’s true… Anyway, I’ve talked to my parents about us. They will think about it… So you don’t have to worry…” Henry Armstrong said.

“Did the conversation go well? Did you lose your temper?” Georgie asked.

On the other end of the call, Georgie was standing in front of a huge French window. She drank red wine while looking out at the night scenery.

She had just bought this place…

It was a two-story villa in the suburbs.

Right then, Georgie was in her bedroom on the second floor.

From here, she could clearly see her brightly lit garden below…

“No, I just made my point of view clear… I expressed my undying love for you…” Henry lied.

“Are you sure it was that simple?” Georgie sounded a little doubtful…

“It’s true. It’s mainly because my father isn’t someone to get into arguments. He’s quite a rational man…” Henry said.

There were many things Henry didn’t want Georgie to find out about.

He could handle the pressure on his own just fine.

“That’s great…” Georgie pinched her forehead in a troubled manner.

She thought that she and Henry would probably still have a long way to go…

Convincing Henry’s parents wasn't going to be a simple feat.

“What would you like to eat? I’ll buy something for you…” Henry said.

“It’s so late already. Why are you still buying food for me? Do you want me to get fat?” Georgie said.

“Isn’t it time for supper?” Henry asked.

“I don’t want to eat… I refuse to…” Georgie said.

“I want to… Accompany me…” Henry said.

“No… If you want to eat, do it at your own house. Don’t come to my house and tempt me,” Georgie said.

Recently, Henry had been dragging her to eat at different places every day.

“Dad has agreed to let you be with Georgie… He’ll persuade Mom later. I promise everything will be made clear to you…” Jenny said.

Henry found it a little hard to believe what he had just heard.

“No way… Are you serious?” Henry asked.

Didn’t this old man change his mind way too quickly?

Did Henry and Jenny’s behavior scare him?

It seemed like it really did…

“It’s true…” Jenny said.

“Why did he suddenly change his mind?” Henry asked.

“Hmm, I… I threw a tantrum at home. So I went upstairs to pack up and said I would leave with you…” Jenny said.

“Perhaps, Dad didn’t want to lose both his children at the same time… That was why he compromised.

“After all, he still loves us… So he wouldn’t really disown us for something like that, would he?” Jenny added.
