Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1708

Xyla Quest saw Betty Starmount's pretty face.

Xyla immediately opened the door and stepped forward to look at Betty. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask you if you'd come home for breakfast. I made a lot of delicious food. You didn't pick up when I called earlier. That's why I came over..." Betty said.

Betty's tone was as gentle as she was as a person.

Although Betty didn't have any makeup on, she was still charming.

"I might have accidentally set my phone on silent mode. That's why I didn't hear you calling. I was about to call home earlier to say that I won't be going for breakfast this morning... I want to eat the pork rib noodles my husband made..." Xyla said.

A look of disappointment briefly appeared in Betty's eyes. "Oh... Forget it... Next time then... Oh, right. I made you some bird's nest. I'll bring it over to you later..."

Xyla shook her head. "It's fine... I don't feel like having any today. You can keep it for yourself and my father."

"Oh... Alright then. Are you coming home for dinner? Jeremy said he wants to have a hot pot. He also said it's only lively when the whole family is around," Betty said. "Alright. I'll be home tonight," Xyla said.

Betty smiled satisfactorily. "Okay... I'll get ready in advance.

"You don't have to do too much. Text me on WeChat to let me know what ingredients you need. I'll bring them over when I head home," Xyla said.

"Okay. I'm off then. Goodbye..." Betty said.

With that, Betty lifted her hand and waved at Xyla.

Xyla also waved in return.

Like Xyla, Jeremy Quest also liked to eat hot pot when it snowed during winter.

He especially liked cooking while he watched the snowfall.

Even if Xyla's father hadn't mentioned it, she would still head home to have dinner with him tonight.

Outside, it was still snowing heavily.

It was getting heavier by the second. The northern wind would soon engulf the entire world.

Xyla couldn't help but shiver when the breeze blew against her.

Within a short amount of time, the outside was already covered in white.

Everything seemed beautiful as far as the eye could see.

However, Xyla didn't dare to continue admiring the beauty before her due to the cold.

She immediately closed the door. Then, after shivering once more, she quickly returned to the warm living room.

The temperature in the living room.

It felt almost like summer.

The courtyard and the inside of the house seemed to be two completely different seasons.

Stanley was still busy preparing noodles in the kitchen.

Xyla could see hot steam in the kitchen. It made this winter day feel even warmer.

There was a freshly boiled pot of water on the coffee table, steam still wafting out of it.

Xyla walked up to the coffee table

and poured herself a cup of water. Then, with the cup in her ha looked outside through the French window at the beautiful world...

She then retrieved her phone from her pocket and switched off the silent mode.

Right then, she could see a lot of notifications about Tom Sullivan on her phone.

Tom was cremated in Atlantis Funeral Home...

The cremation took place successfully.

His remains would be buried at noon today.

The names of those who attended his funeral could be seen.

The amount of information was overwhelming.

However, Xyla wasn't interested at all.

She couldn't even bring herself to mourn for him in silence for a single moment.

Xyla nonchalantly put her phone aside. She then continued to enjoy the silent peace.

Meanwhile, in Atlantis Funeral Home, Tom's remains

shrouded in mourning.
