Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2069

Xyla Quest instantly looked up at Wilson Batton. “What is it, Dad?”

“Forget it. We’ll talk after lunch,” he replied.

“Come on, what is it?”

Could this be related to the surprise that the nanny mentioned?

Wilson shook his head. “It’s nothing that can't wait until after you've eaten.”

Nodding obediently, Xyla lowered her eyes and resumed eating quietly, much to the approval and adoration of Sharon Lindt upon seeing how pliant she was.

Seeing her pretty daughter-in-law like this made her want to spoil her rotten.

Wilson felt the same way.

In his heart, he treated Xyla as his biological daughter.

Beep, beep, beep—

Sharon’s phone started ringing right then. Seeing the caller as her son, Stanley Batton, she promptly answered the call.

“What is it, Son?”

“Is Xyla awake?” he asked.

“Yes, she’s having lunch,” she answered.

“How’s her appetite?” he questioned.

“Fantastic.”

“Okay, don’t let her eat anything that might upset her stomach. She needs to eat clean,” he reminded.

“I know, I know. I’ve cooked all the mild stuff today,” Sharon assured him.

“Okay. Keep an eye on her and make sure she gets enough nutrients.”
