Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 2337



Rachel Wood chuckled. "They are your parents, after all. What if they died in front of our house? How could I let that happen?

"I may not like them, and I even considered ignoring them, but I wouldn't wish death on anyone," she added.

Sebastian Brenand felt his heart soften at her words.

He let out a bitter laugh as he ran his fingers through her hair affectionately. "You, my dear, are an idiot. You are the biggest and kindest idiot in the world.

"My parents would never kill themselves! They were only trying to scare you. They are rich and powerful people. Do you really think they would give up all that?" he asked with a snort.

Her brows furrowed together. "What if they did? We should always expect the worst because I can't bear that responsibility."

"I would never let you bear any responsibility even if it did happen," Sebastian told her with a soft smile.

"Even so, I don't want to cause anyone's death," Rachel insisted.

He gently caressed her face. “If this happened to other women, I'm sure they would let my parents do as they wish.

"They probably wouldn't even care if they died in front of them. After all, my parents are criminals. They committed such heinous crimes against you. "Rachel, you really are different from the rest," he told her as he pulled her gently into his arms.

"This is all my fault," he went on. "If I hadn't gone out, none of this would've happened. It was an opportunity for them to show up to annoy you.

"It is my fault that I didn't look after you. I am truly sorry if seeing them made you recall all those memories from before."

At that moment, he looked like Rachel's most loyal devotee.

"No, you haven't done anything wrong," she assured him with a shake of her head. "You can't stay home with me all day long, can you? You're a businessman with a company to run. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

"How does this have anything to do with you being away from home?" she added.

"Anyway, it is still my fault for not protecting you. I'm sorry," he said.

"Stop saying sorry. You didn't do anything wrong," Rachel stated.

He didn't respond to that and silently hugged her close.

"I thought you'd speak up for them earlier. It was so unlike you," Sebastian asked after a while.

"Yeah. I like the way you are now. Don't be too much of a saint," he smiled in relief.

She gave him a gentle nod, her hand covering her extended belly carefully.

Suddenly, the baby began to move as if able to sense her touch.

It felt like a gentle kick.

The sensation repeated a second time. It felt so real.

It made her fully aware that there was life inside her stomach.
