Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 2327



Sharon Lindt beamed when she saw everyone's comments.

"Men in our family treat their wives well despite being rich. It's something to be proud of," she said with her head resting against Wilson Batton's shoulder.

Although the couple had already been together for decades, they still acted like newlyweds.

Xyla Quest and Annabeth Cates couldn't help but feel envious of them despite being in loving relationships themselves.

"I know many people want to marry into our family, but I'm sorry to say that I have no other single sons. Besides, our sons have no plans of getting married a second time," she said with a chuckle.

Wilson nodded as he gazed affectionately at his wife. "Yeah, you're right."

"Of course," she replied smugly.

"Dad, Mom, I'm genuinely envious of you two. You still seem like newlyweds even after being married for decades," Xyla expressed

"Yes, I'm super envious, too. It would be great if Josh and I are like this in the future," Annabeth spoke up.

"You will. You don't have to be envious of us. If your husband ever changes his mind, I will-" Sharon trailed off, giving Stanley Batton and Josh Batton equally pointed glares before rolling her eyes at them.

It was as if they were already guilty in her eyes.

Stanley stayed silent.

"Mom, are you serious?" Josh asked.

"If that ever happens, I'll make sure you won't leave unscathed. You won't be able to recognize me when I'm done beating you two up," she threatened.

Stanley knew his mother was capable of doing what she said, as did Josh knew she wasn't only giving an empty threat.

"Mom, be nice. They haven't done anything wrong, have they?" Xyla asked.

"Yes, but I still want to warn them."

"You don't have to be like this," Annabeth told her.

"I think I do," she replied stubbornly, rendering the two women speechless.

it was awkward to be

deemed so highly in the family!

their husbands were own

treated harshly by their

parents.

"Oh, Annabeth, Xyla, I've asked someone to buy some decent bird's nests from abroad and will divide it equally between the two of you," Sharon added. "I saw your posts on social media that you couldn't sleep well recently. The bird's nest sourced are much better quality than our ordinary ones and ought to help with that."

"Thank you, Mom," Xyla said.

"You saw my post on social media?" Annabeth asked.

"Of course, I always remember what you shared. I look at all your social media posts," she replied.

"Oh, did you see mine then?" Josh asked.

"Why would I look at your social media posts?" his mother asked incredulously.

He was left speechless again.

"What's wrong with you? Are you

losing sleep, too? Your work is going well, and you haven't been working too hard, either. You also haven't given birth to any children. Why would you not be sleeping well?" she asked.

"That's not it," he sighed, shaking his head.

"What is it then? Get to the point."

"My new movie is about to premiere soon," he pointed out.

"Oh, that. I know," Sharon answered almost nonchalantly.

"Don't you have anything to say to that?" he asked.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
