Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2066

“It’s nothing. I just wanted to let you know,” Stanley Batton said.

Xyla Quest hugged her husband tightly. “Those things won’t happen to me because I believe your parents wouldn’t let them.”

“Yeah, I know, but I just wanted to make sure,” he told her.

Stanley knew his parents’ temperament very well, but he still wanted to reassure Xyla in the event she felt upset at any given time.

More importantly, he didn’t want her to tolerate anyone who gave her a hard time. He wouldn’t allow himself or his parents to upset her.

“I know. Honestly, if anything like that happened, I’d tolerate it for your sake,” Xyla replied.

“I’m so protective of you that you don’t even have to put up with me. Why should you put up with anyone else?” he asked.

Hearing him, she felt secure, a warm sensation flowing through her chest. Even the air tasted sweet.

Smiling, she continued to hug Stanley. “You are so unlike other people. I’ve struck gold with you.”

“I’m the one who struck gold,” he countered.

His wife was gentle, pretty, independent, elegant, and street-smart. There was nothing he could pick on, and that made her the best woman in the world.

“All right, let’s stop blowing each other’s trumpets and go to bed,” she suggested.

“Okay.”

Soon, they fell asleep, both sleeping soundly, perhaps due to the comfort provided by their own large bed.

Meanwhile, Sharon Lindt snuck out of bed and started to walk out of her room in the darkness.

Hearing her movements, Wilson Batton instantly turned on the lights, staring at her in surprise. “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to check on the children. I don’t feel safe letting a bunch of strangers look after them,” Sharon whispered.

Even though she had hired nannies that were highly sought after in the country with rave reviews under their belts, she still couldn’t fully entrust her grandchildren to them.

“In that case, I’m going too,” Wilson said, already getting out of bed.

“You should rest. I’ll be fine on my own.”

“Let’s go together. I miss those two already,” he insisted, not wanting to spend a single minute apart from their grandchildren.

Whenever he thought of his adorable grandchildren, he wished he could look at them every day.

“Fine," his wife sighed. "I miss them too much, as well.”

Sharon felt a special connection with the twins, in particular. She had other grandkids, but somehow, she missed these two the most. Wilson shared her feelings, too.

Holding hands, they walked into the nursery, pushing the door open to find all six nannies still awake.

The twins were not asleep yet, as two nannies held them, lulling them to sleep while the others were setting up the cradles.

Everyone had their assigned tasks, and they all worked harmoniously together.

Seeing the children still up, Sharon and Wilson felt even more excited as they eagerly swept the children up into their arms respectively.
