Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2203

Smiling warmly, Xyla Quest approached Sharon Lindt from behind to hug her. “Good morning, Mom. It smells wonderful in here. Did you actually bake bread?”

“Yes. You mentioned that you like freshly baked bread, so I baked some for you. You can have a few during breakfast later and bring a few more with you to the office. You can eat them when you’re hungry,” Sharon told her.

She instantly felt warm in her heart hearing that. Although Sharon wasn’t her birth mother, it felt like she was.

Perhaps her own mother wouldn’t even treat her as well as she did.

“All right, Mom. You’re so good to me, just like a birth mother would treat her own daughter.”

Frankly, she had never lacked anything since she was a child except for one thing... a mother’s love.

Her birth mother died when she was still a child, so she never got to experience motherly love.

She was able to experience that with Sharon.

Her life was complete now that a missing piece of her childhood had been filled.

“Silly child. I am your mother," Sharon chuckled. "Well, I’m your mother-in-law, but it’s the same thing.”

She nodded. “Yeah, you’re even closer to me than my biological mother.”

The older woman seemed pleased to hear this. “All right, you shouldn't be in here. Go outside and play with your kids.”

“I’d rather not. I want to help you out in the kitchen. I don't feel right sitting around all day. I ought to help out in some way, or I’ll lose the ability to look after myself,” Xyla told her.

“You wouldn’t want others to say that your daughter-in-law is lazy and doesn’t do anything, would you?” she added.

Sharon shrugged nonchalantly at this. “I don’t care what other people say. My daughter-in-law can be lazy or hard-working, and that’s fine because you haven’t taken anything from those people.

“If anyone says those things about you, I’ll willingly tell them that I insisted. It has nothing to do with those people anyway,” she added.
