Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2148

It was Josh Batton's first period drama.

Annabeth Cates was charmed by the sight of her husband riding a horse.

While she leisurely watched television, Josh kept himself busy in the kitchen.

Everything seemed peaceful as she leisurely watched him on television while he kept himself busy in the kitchen.

In the blink of an eye, the day Annabeth agreed to return home to visit her parents had arrived.

Josh had postponed all his remaining work within the week to accompany her on the trip home.

Together, they flew home in a helicopter.

After landing on the roof of the building, they took the elevator down to where her family lived.

Both of them were stunned when they arrived, hearing the lively sounds of people laughing and talking.

There appeared to be many people in the house, all sounding like young women.

Annabeth’s eyes widened in surprise. “What’s going on?”

Josh gently shook his head.

“Do you think they let all your female fans inside?” she wondered out loud.

He shook his head again as they exchanged confused glances before sighing helplessly.

Annabeth then pressed on the doorbell.

The girls all looked like high school students.

The young girl from earlier quickly stepped forward as she gazed at Josh and Annabeth. “Here’s the thing, my classmates are all your avid fans. When they found out you were coming, they begged me to bring them along, and I couldn’t refuse.”

She was scratching her head nervously.

Annabeth smiled awkwardly. “How did you know we were coming?”

“Your mother told my mother, who then told me,” she answered before carefully pressing her palms together while shooting a pleading look at them. “Annabeth, Josh, please don’t kick us out. Let us stay here for a while, please?”

Josh pinched his forehead in exhaustion and nodded decisively.

After all, it was a request from the neighbors who lived across from his in-laws. He didn’t want to embarrass them.

He wanted to maintain a good relationship with neighbors since he and his wife weren’t always around. Her parents might still require their neighbors' assistance at times.
