Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1654

“I have to go on a business trip to a foreign country tomorrow. It’ll be for about a week… Is that okay?” Stanley Batton asked earnestly.

Xyla Quest nodded decisively. “Of course, you can.”

“This is a job that must be completed. You should get some sleep. I’ll go and pack my luggage,” Stanley said.

“Let me help you.” Xyla immediately got out of bed when she heard this.

However, Stanley extended his arms, picked her up, and placed her on the bed. “You should go to bed. I don’t have a lot of stuff. It’ll be done very soon… Hmm?”

Xyla nodded helplessly.

When Xyla thought about how she would be separated from Stanley for a week, she felt a little reluctant…

However, she didn’t show it.

Soon, Stanley entered the closet. Meanwhile, Xyla obediently leaned against the head of the bed while carefully applying lotion to her body.

The new lotion she bought had a cherry blossom scent.

When she applied the lotion, she could smell a faint cherry blossom scent. It made her feel extremely comfortable.

After she was done applying lotion on herself, she casually placed the bottle on the nightstand. She then carefully put on some hand lotion.

As it was late autumn, the weather was getting dry. Xyla wanted to make sure she protected every part of her body from dryness.

Once she was done with applying the hand lotion, she lay down with peace of mind.

At that moment, her entire body smelled great.

Xyla wanted to wait for Stanley, but she ended up falling asleep…

By the time she fell asleep, Stanley had already finished packing up his luggage. After that, he went to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

Once he was done cleaning himself up, he climbed into bed.

When Stanley looked at Xyla, who was fast asleep next to him, he felt a sense of peace in his heart.

He subconsciously lifted a hand and gently ruffled her hair. He then switched off the lights and embraced Xyla in his arms.

Sensing someone nearby in her sleep, Xyla immediately latched onto Stanley like an octopus.

She had a pleasant sleep without any dreams…

When Xyla opened her eyes the following day, Stanley was no longer by her side…
