Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 2457



"Hmph! Can't do much in school, but I'm warning you. You'd better be careful these days!" the girl warned with her arms crossed as she stalked up to Hannah Roland.

She poked Hannah's chest with her index finger before strutting away.

Hannah teared up a little as she watched her leave.

The girl was right. She didn't deserve Leon Batton.

School ended after the physical education class.

On the way home, Lte Batton wouldn't stop asking her brother questions.

“Are you planning to pursue that girl, Leon? You can't hold back anymore, can you? You acted so indifferently previously, but it seems like you're only human after all,” she said as she grabbed his arm and teased him relentlessly.

"Why do you love gossip so much?" he sighed.

"It's not that I love to gossip in particular. It depends on the topic of said gossip!" Lte clarified with a chuckle.

She paused momentarily before continuing to speak.

"Leon Batton, the cold prince of the school, has developed feelings for a girl. Isn't that something new?"

She became increasingly excited the more she thought about it.

If her brother started to pursue someone openly, perhaps all the girls in the school would be heartbroken.

"Why are you always eager for gossip? You ought to spend your time on something useful instead," he advised.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He would have lost his patience long ago if it had been anyone else nagging him, but Lte was his little sister. He had to grin and bear with it.

"You should just tell me if you want me to stop asking you," she replied with a pout.

Leon stubbornly refused to answer her, so she had no choice but to give up.

A sumptuous meal was waiting for them on the dining table by the time they returned home from school. Lte could not contain herself and spilled the beans on what happened between Leon and the girl he liked.

"Oh?" Xyla Quest asked while raising her brows slightly. Her interest was piqued at the idea. "Is that true?"

She sounded pleasantly surprised. Her son had never been close to any girl nor expressed an interest in one since kindergarten. She even suspected he was playing for the same team at one point or another.

Now, she finally got the answer she had been hoping to hear.

How could a mother not be curious about her son's romantic life? How could she not be interested?

"Hmm," he answered with a nod.

"From your sister's description, this

person. She seems genuinely

girl sounds like a kind and htful

interested in you," she said,

sounding delighted for him.

Leon was stunned. He never expected his mother to be interested in such gossip, too. How annoying.

“A romantic crush in high school! Such relationships are the purest and a wonderful experience," she said. "Leon, go ahead and pursue her if you want to be in a relationship. You might regret it if you miss out on the chance during your teenage years."

“Most mothers would be horrified at the idea of a teenage romance. Why are you the exact opposite, Mom?" he wondered.

"I'm not like most mothers. I've

always thought that your first love is

the purest thing while you're still

young. It might never come again and become something you@egret if you miss this chance.

"Your youth only lasts fleetingly. It would be such a waste if you don't experience a relationship," Xyla said.

"Mommy, you sure are open-minded," her daughter remarked in awe.

She appreciated her parents for being open-minded and modern, always seemingly different from other parents.

They never followed the usual conventional mindset.

"However, you must learn to protect the girl, too. Don't do anything that might hurt her. And keep it in your pants until you marry her," Xyla added. Leon coughed awkwardly at her words.
