Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2418

Lynette Batton and Leon Batton gazed at each other as his words instantly made her feel warm inside.

She knew her brother had the best intentions for her own good most of the time, even though he came across as unreasonable sometimes.

“Leon, don’t you think you’re being unrealistic?" she asked in exasperation. "Everyone needs to grow up. Once we are adults, it's inevitable to engage in some things that are complicated and impure.

“Nobody’s world can always remain pure and clean,” she added, feeling like he was being ludicrous.

However, Leon wore a subdued expression as he stared at her. “It might be impossible for others, but not for you. I will stay by your side and protect you forever. You will always remain uncorrupted where you don’t have to worry about anything.

“I will stand in front of you to block anything tainted and difficult in the world while you don’t even have to lift a finger. You only have to sit still and look pretty,” he added.

Ever since Leon became mature enough, he knew that he needed to love and protect his little sister as her older brother.

He wanted her to be the happiest girl in the world.

Lynette felt her heart grow warm once more. “Well, aren’t you a possessive brother?”

“Not to that extent, no. I only want to protect you," he told her. "You are such a wonderful person. The world should treat you as such.”

“Oh, I’m so touched,” she said.

“Don’t cry! I didn’t bring any tissues with me,” he warned.

“Tsk! Who’s crying? All because I feel touched?”

“I wonder who bawled her eyes out when I made her a cake for her birthday when she was little,” he teased.

Lynette couldn’t help but laugh. “Hehe. I was still a little girl, so I got emotional very easily. That doesn’t happen anymore.”

“Yeah? That’s great.”
