Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2420

The girl quickly ran off within moments.

Her departure spurred a flurry of comments from the people around them—

“There are all sorts of people in the world. Who does she think she is? How dare she ask Leon to accompany her on the piano?”

“Exactly. Why would Leon accompany someone else on the piano? What a joke.”

“You’re wrong. Leon would accompany someone else on the piano, but that person could only be Lynette.”

“That’s right. Does she think she’s Lynette?”

Lynette Batton instantly frowned upon hearing their comments. “All right. Quiet down, everyone.”

Abruptly, everyone quietened.

She then peeked at Leon Batton. “Leon, how could you turn that girl down in front of so many people?”

Her brother frowned slightly. “I don’t like her, so why can't I turn her down?”

From his perspective, it was necessary to be cold and be dismissive if he didn’t like that person.

He wouldn't want to give them the wrong idea.

“Fine. I will never get through your thick skull,” Lynette sighed.

“Then stop trying," he replied. "Let’s go. We have to head back to class.”

She nodded and held onto his sleeve before leading him back to their class into their respective seats.

Leon noticed a slice of toast with a heart on it on his desk when he sat down.

He had received many gifts each day in school, but this slice of toast left the most profound impression on him.

He had been receiving the same toast from the first day of high school. Whoever it was from, that person never failed to leave this for him every day.

Sometimes, he was genuinely curious how that person had such patience as most people would have stopped offering gifts after a while.
