Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1597

Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton walked into the Quest family's dining room after washing their hands.

By then, Betty Starmount and Jeremy Quest had already sat on their respective seats.

When Betty saw Xyla entering, she pushed a bowl of bird's nest with rock sugar close to Xyla's seat. "Xyla... Have some more bird's nests. It's good for the babies..."

Immediately after that, Betty stood up and placed a bowl of bird's nest in front of Jeremy. "Darling, here's yours as well... You ought to eat more of it too. That'll boost your immune system and keep illnesses away..."

Although Jeremy wasn't keen on eating it, he could see how genuine Betty seemed. Hence, he picked up a spoon and started eating.

Betty smiled satisfactorily when she saw this. After that, she placed a bowl of bird's nest in front of Stanley too. "Stan, you should eat some too..."

Stanley shook his head. "No... I don't like bird's nests. You guys can have it..."

Betty chuckled. "I don't like eating it either... It's fine if you don't want to eat it. We'll leave it for Xyla and my darling."

Xyla slowly picked up a spoon and swirled it in the bowl of bird's nest with rock sugar. "Thank you..."

"You're welcome... Have some more..." Betty added.

"Okay," Xyla said before scooping a spoonful of bird's nest with rock sugar into her mouth.

She was extremely pleased with its sweetness and smooth texture.

"Xyla... From now on, you and Stan should come home for meals in the morning and at night... Now that Xyla is pregnant, as her father, I want to look after Xyla by taking care of her diet...

"I'll get someone to buy the freshest and most nutritious ingredients every day... What do you think?" Jeremy asked.

Xyla knew her father must have suddenly brought up this request because Betty wanted to get close to her and Stanley. Hence, Betty probably spoke to her father about this.

However, for peacekeeping and protecting his father's image, Xyla chose to nod in agreement. "Sure..."

Although Xyla didn't like seeing Betty, she wanted to see her father regularly and spend time with the old man.

As Jeremy's daughter, Xyla naturally couldn't refuse him when he made this request.

"Okay... I'll do as Xyla wishes..." Stanley said as he affectionately ruffled Xyla's hair.

Jeremy felt extremely happy to see how sweet the two of them behaved...

Now, he had the perfect companion by his side. Meanwhile, his daughter had also found a good husband. Jeremy felt like he was practically the luckiest man in the world... When Betty heard what they said, she immediately smiled coldly...

However, the coldness disappeared almost instantly.

All three of the people seated at the dining table had their heads lowered as they ate. None of them noticed it.

After the meal, Xyla and Stanley held each other's hands and stood up...

"Dad, we're going to work..." Xyla said with a smile.

"Alright... Be safe on the road," Jeremy said.

The exchange between father and daughter in the dining room was incredibly heart-warming.

After hearing Jeremy's reply, Xyla held Stanley by his hand and slowly walked out of the dining room...

When they arrived at the dining room entrance, a maid frantically ran out of the bathroom...

"What's the matter? Why do you seem so frantic?" Xyla asked when she saw how frantic the maid was.

The maid instantly walked up to Xyla. "The pipe in the bathroom is busted. I'm about to head out to replace someone who can fix it..."
