Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2123

“You’re right," Henry Armstrong said. "I used to find my parents annoying, but now, I don't think they are so bad. I have to thank my parents for not being such terrible people. Honestly, comparisons can be hurtful.”

His words instantly made the tense atmosphere much more lively.

Even Sebastian Brenand and Rachel Wood, who were in a poor mood, began to smile.

“Everyone’s smiling now. That’s great! Sebastian, don’t overthink too much. You too, Rachel. Got it? No matter what happens, we’ll be by your side. We’re here to protect you. Do you understand?” Henry asked.

Sebastian and Rachel felt grateful.

“If I’m no longer part of the Brenand family, will you still love me the same?” Sebastian asked his friends.

Henry directly rolled his eyes at him. “It doesn’t matter if you’re not part of the Brenand family. I'd still love you even if you’re not human anymore. I wouldn’t mind being in a relationship with a ghost.”

Everyone couldn’t resist laughing when they heard this, making the ambiance livelier.

“Something’s not right," Josh piped in. "Why do I suddenly sense romance between two men?”

“Exactly, why would I say something romantic like that? Could I secretly have a crush on Sebastian?” Henry said.

He had been rather exhausted recently due to his work and the search for Rachel. He was mentally and physically exhausted, in no mood to joke around.

However, he felt the need for some lightheartedness to make the ambiance livelier and to cheer up Sebastian and Rachel.

Suddenly, everyone was laughing.

Sebastian visibly shuddered. “I can sense it too. Don’t make me feel disgusted, all right? I have no interest in men.”

“I guess love doesn’t last, does it?” Henry sighed.
