Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2287

Henry Armstrong opened the door and walked in right then, feeling curious when he saw Xyla Quest and Georgie Clementine in the middle of such a joyful conversation.

He quickly sat down next to his wife, wrapping his arms around her as he crossed his legs. “What are you two talking about, looking so happy?”

Then, he addressed Xyla directly. “I’m glad you came, Xyla. Georgie only seems to perk up when you’re around.”

Seeing his wife happy greatly improved his mood.

Xyla chuckled at his words. “We’ve decided that Lynette and Landon should be together once they are all grown up. What do you think about that, Henry?”

“Well, that would be wonderful," he answered without hesitation. "I must say that Landon is as lucky as his father. I can only describe Lynette as a perfect partner for my son. It would be our family's pride to have a future daughter-in-law like her.”

He was very much on board with this decision.

“We have a deal, then,” Xyla replied at once.

“Yeah, but you must not regret this,” he said, nodding his head.

“Don’t worry, I won’t.”

His smile widened at that.

“All right, I just came up to see my wife and son. I am content now that I have seen them both. I better get back downstairs to play poker,” he said as he stood up.

His wife shook her head helplessly. “Must you exaggerate like that?”

“I couldn’t help it, so what was I supposed to do? I was playing poker downstairs, but then I missed my wife and son, who were both upstairs. I just wanted to come up and check on them. Is that so wrong?” he asked with a grin.

Xyla felt like she was intruding on a moment of intimacy between the couple. Luckily, she wasn't envious since her relationship with Stanley Batton was similarly sweet.
