Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 2419



"Leon, we're very lucky, to be honest," Lte Batton said with a wistful smile as she gazed at Leon Batton.

He returned her smile with a nod. "Yeah."

"Lots of kids from a family like ours have their entire future mapped out for them already. They don't even have the right to dream," she added. “But, you and I are different."

Her brother nodded in agreement.

Their parents had only requested the siblings to study well, stay healthy, and be happy. They even encouraged them to chase after their dreams.

As a result, the teens were much happier and felt less pressure than their peers.

Lte and Leon enjoyed this kind of lifestyle.

"I heard Uncle Josh had to face a lot of resistance from family members when he first joined the entertainment industry. In fact, our grandfather refused to forgive him for a long time.

"Our dad is also different from Uncle Josh." Lte's eyes sparkled when she talked about Stanley Batton.

Her distinct facial features were even more apparent with the wind blowing her long hair away from her face.

Leon gently grazed his fingers through her hair. "Yeah, you're right."

"Speaking of, it's Grandpa's birthday soon. What should we get him?" she asked him.

“I haven't decided. What do you think?"

"Hmm, I haven't decided either," she replied thoughtfully. "Grandma only said that we have to be there, and we don't need to buy Grandpa anything." "She says that every year," he countered with a grin.

"Yeah, but I still think we should get Grandpa something. I just don't know what yet," she sighed.

"Why don't we get him a wallet? Or perhaps a set of clothes?" Leon suggested.

"Grandpa doesn't need any of those," she said before exclaiming, "Leon, I've got an idea!"

Her brother seemed intrigued. "Oh?"Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Let's put on an exciting show for Grandpa. What do you think? He doesn't need any clothes or accessories. What he needs is a meaningful gift!" "Can you elaborate?" he asked.

"You know how to play the piano,

right?

accone time comes, you'

accompany me on the piano while I dance for Grandpa. What do you say?" Lte asked.

Leon considered for a few seconds and then nodded. "This sounds like a decent idea."

"Okay, it's a deal." She snapped her fingers before extending her palm to him, prompting her brother to give her @high-five with an affectionate look in his eyes.

"What song should I sing?" she wondered out loud.

“Are you familiar with The Brightest Star? Sing that," he suggested.

"Okay, but if I'm going to sing that song, I won't be dancing."

A teenage girl mustered the courage to approach them right then, carefully looking down at Leon's shoes. "Leon, I'd like to ask you something."

His expression turned cold. "Go ahead."

"There's a celebratory performance

taking place in the school next month. I have been asked to perform, and I'd like you to

eyes. "Don't you know how to play the piano? I wonder if you could do that for me. Could you?"

She seemed very shy, but she had always admired Leon.

In the past, she could only admire him from afar.

However, she suddenly mustered the courage to take one step closer to him. What if Leon said yes?

"No," her crush replied coldly without even sparing her a glance.

She lowered her head even further, obviously disappointed with his answer.
