Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 2410

“Good,” Stanley Batton said with another nod.

Xyla Quest had always been the one to call the shots in their family. Her husband agreed with whatever she said because she was the boss.

That was how things worked from the start, and it remained true until now.

“My parents invited us over for dinner tomorrow, including the kids,” he informed her.

“Okay, sure.”

“They haven’t seen them in a while, so they have missed them,” he added. “They also missed you since you haven’t been there in a week.”

Xyla smacked her forehead guiltily when she heard him. “Oh, dear. Look at me. I’ve been meaning to visit, but I keep forgetting because of work.”

“It’s fine. You’ll be there tomorrow.”

“Yeah.”

“Dad and Mom know you’re busy, so they understand,” he assured her.

“Yeah, they really are,” she replied with a sigh.

“Oh, yeah. Do you know what else Mom told me when she called today?”

Xyla seemed curious. “What?”

Her husband shook his head helplessly. “She told me to treat you better and buy you a few more purses.”

“Mom is wonderful,” she giggled.

“Yes, she always does this. She’s still worried I would treat you poorly even when we’ve been married for years,” he said incredulously with a roll of his eyes.

“I have a wonderful mother-in-law,” she sighed in contentment as her heart warmed at the thought.

“Exactly. Mom then told me that her friend’s son recently cheated on his wife. She asked if I cheated and told me to tell the truth.”

Xyla couldn’t resist laughing at that. “Are you serious?”

She didn’t expect Sharon Lindt to ask her son such a question.

He nodded. “It’s true. Why would I lie? I told her I never did.”

“What happened after that?” She couldn’t help but laugh again.

“She then gave me several warnings," he said with a deep frown. "She even threatened to kill me if I ever dared to cheat on you. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“The most epic part was what my father said, though,” he added before pausing.

“What did he say?”

“That he would castrate me if I ever cheated on you,” Stanley stated with a straight face.

“Pfft—” Xyla burst out laughing again.

“What on earth do you think is on their minds? We’ve been together for so long. Don’t they know me well enough by now? Would I even stray?

“Don’t they know how much I love you?” He felt even more exasperated after saying that.

“It’s probably just them thinking out loud after seeing what their friend’s son did,” she guessed.

“Yeah, they really love you to pieces. They are worried I might end up losing you. Even if we’ve been married for a long time, they are still paranoid about that. Sometimes, I wonder if you’ve cast a spell on my parents,” he said with an amused grin.

She grinned back in the dark. “Yeah. Honestly, I wonder if I do know how to cast such a spell, too.”

“You probably do. Otherwise, why would my parents be so loyal to you?” he asked jokingly.

Her smile widened. “Thank you, Honey. You’ve always been so good to me.”

“Xyla, I love you the way I did when we first met,” Stanley declared.

“Me, too. I love you even more than before, Honey.”

“Let’s always be together, okay?" he asked with some vulnerability.

His wife nodded in his arms.
