Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1596

Seeing that Xyla Quest was also awake, Stanley Batton immediately ignored his physical discomfort and hugged her tightly. “Did you sleep well last night?” he asked.

“Yeah. What about you?” Xyla lied.

Stanley lied in return. “Very well… Let’s get out of bed and get ready. Aren’t we going back to your father’s house for breakfast?”

After cleaning up, the two of them felt much more energized…

Once Xyla was done putting on make-up and wearing her clothes, she went over to her father’s house next door with Stanley.

When Stanley parked his car in the Quest family’s courtyard, the gardener was busy tending to the plants in the small garden within the courtyard…

The two of them were greeted by a breeze that brought with it a scent of trees and plants, instantly easing the discomfort they felt.

Although Xyla didn’t rest well, she looked like a white peony in full bloom thanks to skincare products and the help of her nude make-up…

Xyla’s face was soft and smooth. Coupled with the white shirt that had a huge butterfly knot, as well as a knee-length houndstooth skirt, Xyla appeared unusually bright and attractive.

Meanwhile, Stanley wore a white, wrinkle-free shirt and a pair of gray trousers next to her. He also had on a gray tuxedo coat and a vest…

Stanley looked almost like a noble and elegant prince…

There wasn’t a hint of exhaustion on his face. Instead, there was only coldness and indifference…

After the two of them got out of the car, they held each other’s hands and walked into the house.

At the same time, in the kitchen, Betty Starmount quickly retrieved a translucent bead from the platinum pendant around her neck…

Immediately after that, she hastily crushed the bead with her nails and dripped the translucent liquid into a large bowl of bird’s nest with rock sugar on the table.
