Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2176

“Your father and I are so much happier because of them. Being a senior feels much more exciting now,” Sharon Lindt declared while combing her fingers through Xyla Quest’s hair gently.

Xyla wore a soft expression in her eyes. “I’d like to thank you and Dad for looking after the kids.”

“It’s an honor to look after our grandchildren," Sharon said. "They are so precious, I’d do anything for them.”

Hearing that, Xyla couldn’t resist leaning against her shoulder. “Mom, I honestly feel I must have used up all my luck to marry into the Batton family. I’m so lucky to be your daughter-in-law.”

“Silly girl," she said. "We feel very lucky to be your parents-in-law, too. Which family in Atlantis has a prettier and kinder daughter-in-law than you?”

Sharon was always saying positive things whenever she talked about Xyla. She seemed to be a true fan of hers.

“Oh, stop it," Xyla blushed in embarrassment. "I’m not that perfect.”

“Yes, you are. From my perspective, you’re not only the best in Atlantis but also the best in the world.”

She treasured having a daughter-in-law like Xyla and would never exchange her for any amount of money.

Xyla's cheeks were still flushed from her compliments. “Thank you. I’m glad I have your approval.”

“Thank you for tolerating our cold and unapproachable son,” she said.

“Oh, don’t say that. Stanley isn’t a cold person at all,” Xyla said.

“Only to you. Other people don’t think so,” she responded sulkily, which made the younger woman laugh out loud.

While the two of them were speaking, Stanley Batton walked in, surprised to see his mother in the room.

“Mom? Why are you here?”

Then, he noticed the luminous pearl bracelet around his wife's wrist. Stepping forward, he took a seat next to her to take a closer look.

“It looks good,” he praised.
