Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2289

Georgie Clementine seemed equally hopeful.

“Most importantly, Lukas has a great reputation among his relatives and friends, too. He has never even been in a relationship or done anything wrong to others, either.

“Everyone says he’s a good kid. If he works hard, I honestly have high hopes for him," she said.

“Yeah, I believe he’s going to be the next Josh Batton,” Xyla Quest said.

Xyla stayed in the nursery for a long time and only left the Armstrong family’s house reluctantly after Stanley Batton came to get her.

She fastened her safety belt as she got into the car before turning to gaze at her husband. “Georgie and I decided on something important today.”

“What is it? Have you decided on who Lynette will marry?” Stanley asked with a raised eyebrow.

She nodded in surprise.

“I know. Henry was so excited that he told me right away. He couldn’t even control himself,” he told her with a smile.

Her smile widened. “Yeah. Henry’s son is so good-looking. I think he would be a good match for Lynette.”

“I agree. It would be great if these two could end up together just as planned.

“We know the Armstrong family very well, and we’ll watch over their child as he grows up, too. That way, Lynette will have nothing to lose when she marries into their family,” he said in a serious expression.

“That’s what I was thinking, too. No matter how I look at it, Landon is still the most suitable one for our daughter,” his wife said dreamily.

He nodded in agreement while casually lighting a cigarette and taking a puff at it. He then turned the ignition on and drove away.

Red roses were still in full bloom by the road, and they made a striking scenery as the wind blew, sending a thick scent of roses into the car.

Stanley and Xyla exchanged amused glances as they eavesdropped until the traffic light turned green.

He stepped on the accelerator and drove forward, wearing a smug grin on his face.

She broke the silence first. “Did you hear them? They were singing high praises for you.”

“Yes, I heard them,” he replied casually.

She didn't comment further. Instead, she opened her social media feed to scroll through her friends’ activities, liking all their posts.

Then, she slowly closed her eyes to rest, falling fast asleep by the time they arrived home.

Stanley couldn’t bring himself to wake her up.
