Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1936

Annabeth Cates followed Josh Batton into the piano room while the production crew huddled around them.

Glass panels made up the walls of the piano room, providing ample light from the sun outside to illuminate the entire room.

Warm rays of sunlight landed upon the white, elegant piano, making the exclusive instrument seem even more unattainable.

Josh gently held Annabeth’s hand and sat in front of the piano, slowly lifting the lid before placing his long fingers on the spotless black and white keys.

His beautiful fingers began to dance elegantly over them, seemingly making the world slow down as a delightful and soothing tune began to play.

It was as if the tune could heal everything.

After playing for over ten seconds, Josh began singing along to it—

“My darling girl, you came into my life unexpectedly.

“You’ve melted my heart, and I’m deeply touched by you.

“You’re a ray of light in my life, and you keep me warm through all seasons and in the darkest of nights.

“I’ll keep you close to my heart and take every bullet for you for the rest of our lives.

“I’ll protect you from all harm so that you may stay safe for the rest of our lives.

“I’ll treat you as if it’s the first time we met so that you’ll have a lifetime of passionate romance.”

The romantic lyrics, coupled with the soothing music and Josh’s gentle voice, touched the deepest part of Annabeth’s heart, moving her to tears.

The bright sunlight flickered on his fingers and face, making him seem even more appealing.

Annabeth hoped time would stop as she wanted to stay in this moment with Josh forever.

“Oh, my girl. I want to hold your hands like this forever.

“Oh, my girl. I want to give you the best this world has to offer.

“Oh, my girl. I’ll treasure you and make you happy. This love will never end.”

Josh was still singing.

Meanwhile, her tears continued to fall, looking like diamonds glimmering on her face under the sunlight.

An endless sense of warmth traveled between the two of them as if time had slowed down, and everything seemed even more wonderful at this moment.

The production crew managed to capture all this with their cameras.

The footage was so impressive that it looked almost like a scene from a well-produced idol drama.

Despite there not being any post-production or editing of the footage, it was still ridiculously wonderful.

The production crew members behind the cameras were all touched by this scene.

The more emotional ladies couldn’t help but tear up, feeling moved albeit envious of their relationship.

As Josh sang earnestly, he occasionally turned to look at Annabeth with a look of affection and love in his eyes.

He slowly closed the piano lid once the song ended, then reached out to cradle her face with both hands, rubbing her tears away gently with his thumbs. “Silly girl, why are you crying? Do you like this song?”

Annabeth nodded. “This is the gift you mentioned? I like it a lot! Did you write it, or did somebody else compose it for you?”

Josh’s smile gradually widened. There was an indescribable gentleness in his eyes. “Of course, I wrote it myself as a gift for my wife. It’s better that way, don’t you think?”
