Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2166

There was no other way unless Lukas Ronaldo worked harder if he wanted to live up to Xyla Quest’s expectations.

He would hate to disappoint her.

He wanted to become the best version of himself and be ready for the best opportunities.

He also decided to be even more cautious and remain a good person.

His goal was to become an exemplary celebrity like Josh Batton, so to do that, he had to cherish the opportunity and launch his career the proper way.

Xyla returned to her office after checking on the other trainees. By then, it was already completely dark outside.

Lights of green and red dotted the entire city. From afar, the city seemed to have come alive.

There were still many cars on the road despite it being at night.

Xyla walked over to the French windows, feeling at ease as she gazed down.

After an entire day’s work, she no longer felt tense and could finally relax.

Right then, someone knocked on the door, prompting her to whirl around, smiling as she looked toward her door.

“Come in,” she called out, knowing that her husband had arrived.

The door opened to reveal Stanley Batton, entering with two bags. One contained two cups of her favorite strawberry-flavored milk tea, while the other was full of snacks.

Hurrying forward, Xyla reached for the two cups of milk tea. Then, she held his arm with one hand and leaned against him. “I only asked for some milk tea, so what's with the bag of snacks?”

“I wanted to bring you some snacks so you could eat them in the office," he answered affectionately. "I figured you were probably running out of them.”

Previously, Xyla would either go in person or ask someone to go on her behalf when she wanted some.

Ever since Stanley came into her life, he'd become the one to line up and buy her favorite drink from her favorite store.

Coming to think about it, it was rather unusual for a man as busy as her husband to do that for her.

“Don’t you get annoyed every time you have to line up for so long to buy this for me?” she asked.

For people like Stanley and herself, time was money.

Waiting in line for an hour meant he had to lose a lot of money.

“What do you think?” he replied, chuckling.
