Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1846

A strange sense of familiarity and sadness caused Stanley Batton’s eyes to well with tears.

All these weird feelings in his heart were unusual for him.

Why did this girl in front of him feel so familiar?

In fact, he even felt emotionally hurt on her behalf.

He had a nagging feeling that there was an unusual connection between him and this girl in the past.

Stanley took a deep breath and addressed Sophie Kenwick. “We… Have we met?”

She shook her head while she took in his odd reaction. “No. What’s the matter?” She seemed confused.

Stanley frowned and continued to study her face. “Nothing…”

Sophie nodded slightly, not fully believing what he said.

His reaction made Xyla curious as well.

She instantly held his hand gently. “What is it?”

Stanley shook his head. “We’ll talk later.”

Xyla nodded before pulling Sophie over. “I haven’t officially introduced you two. This is Sophie Kenwick.”

The girl extended her hand excitedly to Stanley. “It's nice to meet you, I’m Sophie,” she said with a wide smile on her face.

Seeing her smile made his heart ache painfully for a second.

This strange yet familiar feeling made him curious about her.

He couldn’t understand why his heart was aching.

Stanley nodded a little. “Yes, it's nice to meet you, too. I’m Stanley Batton.”

With that, he gently shook her hand. “I’m sure my wife must have informed you about the rules in the house, right?”

“Yes,” Sophie said.
