Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2082

Sebastian Brenand was reluctant, but he still got up to brush his teeth. He didn’t even bother changing his clothes before leaving the house.

He didn’t trim his beard, and he didn’t even brush his hair.

Sebastian only hoped that the girl wouldn’t fall for him.

For the last few days, he had been drinking. So now, he looked like a sluggish drunkard.

He also lost some weight because he hadn’t eaten much. On top of that, his beard had grown even longer, appearing much more fragile like a patient.

He could hear laughter when he walked into the Brenand family’s house.

The woman his mother arranged for him to meet had arrived, now enjoying a conversation with his parents. They were seated by her side.

Sebastian recognized her as his classmate from high school. Her name was Yvette Houston.

After graduation, Yvette had gone abroad, and he hadn’t seen her since.

When everyone in the house saw Sebastian, they were all shocked. Yvette’s jaw dropped for a second, unable to believe that the handsome young man she used to know had become like this.

Yet, she still smiled politely, standing up to walk over to Sebastian before extending a hand to him. “Hey, Sebastian. Do you still remember me?”

Wearing a deep frown, he glanced at her in annoyance before taking a seat next to his mother.

He didn’t even greet Yvette’s parents.

How could he be in the mood to entertain these people?

Seeing him acting like this, his mother laughed awkwardly before moving close to Sebastian’s ear. “Don’t forget what I said. Do you want what happened in the picture to continue?”

Her voice was deceivingly soft, smiling as she spoke. To others, it seemed as if she was concerned regarding her son.

His heart clenched when he heard what his mother said.

After that, he stood up and mechanically greeted Yvette’s parents. “Mr. Houston, Mrs. Houston, it's nice to meet you.”

The two of them nodded awkwardly.
