Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 952

Xyla Quest looked at Stanley Batton briefly before subconsciously glancing around. She then rubbed her eyes gently. “Is the meeting over?” she asked.

“Yeah…” Stanley answered softly.

“When did I fall asleep?” Xyla asked.

“You fell asleep not long after dinner…” Stanley said.

“Oh.” With that, Xyla naturally wrapped her arms around Stanley’s neck. After that, she looked at the bodyguards behind them embarrassedly. “Put me down. I can walk on my own,” she said.

“Let me hold you for a while.” Stanley had no intention of putting her down. His gaze never left her, and the look in his eyes was full of gentleness.

Xyla didn’t say anything further. She let him carry her while she enjoyed the warmth of his embrace.

“Is there anything else you’d like to eat, hmm?” Stanley asked.

“Do you want me to become a pig? I just had dinner, and you’re asking me to eat again,” Xyla complained softly.

Stanley smiled. “I was just afraid you might be hungry.”

“I’m not a pig. Why would I get hungry so easily?” Xyla said.

“Oh, alright. Shall we go home then?” Stanley asked.

“Okay.” Xyla immediately nodded.

After that, she naturally rested her head against his chest.

She could feel the warmth of his body through the thin layer of fabric.

At such a distance, Xyla could clearly hear his heart beating forcefully.

Stanley didn’t say anything. Instead, he walked faster.

An entourage of black luxury cars soon arrived at a high-class, dreamy-looking area in the center of the city and stopped at building No. 8.

After the cars stopped, Xyla looked around once more.

This building had an expansive view of the surrounding, and huge gardens surrounded it. The environment seemed beautiful around it.

In the early parts of summer, all sorts of flowers were in full bloom in the garden.
