Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1974

Henry Armstrong was clearly very serious about marrying Georgie Clementine.

“I’m truly happy for you. Henry genuinely means it. Georgie, say yes,” Xyla Quest told her.

Georgie could not speak. Instead, she continued to dart her eyes at everything around her in tears.

Right then, the mall plunged into darkness.

Everyone started muttering, all curious about why the lights went out.

Then, a warm yellow spotlight shone down from the top floor, directed solely on Georgie.

The light illuminated her in her white outfit, making her shine brightly and stand out amidst the darkness.

Georgie was deeply confused by all this.

What was Henry up to?

Meanwhile, Xyla Quest, Sophie Kenwick, and everyone around them was curious about what would happen next.

Momentarily, another spotlight lit up the railing on the top floor across from Georgie, shining on Henry this time.

Everyone could only see the two of them as everything else was pitch black.

Henry, clad in a black tuxedo and a white shirt, was holding a microphone and a bouquet of pink roses while he gazed down at Georgie. “Honey, we’ve been together for a while now. As I got to know you better, my love for you grew more intensely.

“You’re a wonderful woman. I constantly think about starting a family with you. Honestly, I’ve wanted to marry you ever since we first started dating, but I knew you wouldn’t agree then.

“It’s why I waited this long, but today, I want to let the entire world know that I, Henry Armstrong, am deeply in love with you, Georgie Clementine. I want to protect you for the rest of my life.

“I’ll do anything to keep you safe and sheltered for the rest of our lives. Will you marry me?”

By then, Georgie was so overcome with emotions that she didn’t even know what to say.
