Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 2329



"They all have incompetent men by their sides," Wilson Batton said.

Sharon Lindt nodded in agreement. "That's absolutely right. If men treat their wives poorly, they then become increasingly hostile. How could such families be happy?"

Everyone agreed with this point with a nod.

"Here's the thing, women are meant to be loved and adored," he said.

"Yes, yes. Women are such wonderful creatures, therefore should be treated gently by this world," his wife quipped.

Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton headed home after dropping his parents off at Josh Batton's house.

By then, the nannies and the children were all asleep.

They didn't want to wake anyone, so they headed directly upstairs to their bedroom.

Stanley was in charge of filling the bathtub with water, bath foam, Xyla's favorite milk, and rose petals.

Meanwhile, Xyla carefully removed her makeup and put on a face mask in front of the basin.

He was done drawing a bath by the time she had finished putting on her face mask.

The couple then soaked in the bathtub together in the perfectly warmed water, fogging up the entire bathroom.

A pleasant scent emanated from the bright rose petals, circulating everywhere.

Taking a bath with the love of her life while enjoying the scent of flowers was the happiest thing for Xyla.

Picking up a wine glass within reach, she poured her husband a glass of exclusive red wine and one for herself before initiating a toast. She had been busy all day long and constantly tensed, but now that she could finally take a bath and sip on wine, she felt very relaxed. "Darling, it's been a long day for you," he murmured.

"You, too. You've worked even harder than me. You've done way more than me, Honey," she countered.

"It wasn't that bad," he shook his head. "As a man, it's customary for me to do more. Women should always have less to do."

"The men in the Batton family sure are godsent," she complimented with a grin.

"Is that so?"

"Yes! Are you aware of how many women have expressed a desire to marry you on the inte?" she questioned.

"I'm not interested."

"Aren't you?" she asked.

"I'm a married man. Why should I be interested in these things?"

Her heart instantly grew warm. "I guess you shouldn't."

"There you go," he told her. "I only need to be interested in you and of children, that's all. Everything else is insignificant."

For Stanley, the most important people in his life were his wife and children. His parents came next.

As for others, he didn't think they were all that important.

Xyla felt warm in her heart once again.

"I wonder if the kids are sleeping well. They must be tired after

everything that went on today, & bet they be sound asleep," he said with a chuckle.

He wore an unusually gentle expression when he talked about his children.

His wife had the same expression.

At that moment, she felt her heart melting and smiled subconsciously. "Yeah, they should be sound asleep. I doubt they would even have the energy to wake up for milk inthe middle of the night."

"Yeah. I want to watch them sleep right now," he voiced wistfully.

"Forget it," his wife protested. "The nannies are with them. We might wake them up if we go in."
