Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1830

Once all items had been moved to the national treasury, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton returned to their house in their private helicopter together with their bodyguards. By the time their helicopter landed in the courtyard, it was already six o'clock in the morning.

On a winter day like this one, the sky wasn't completely bright yet.

The entire world seemed gray.

It was the quietest time in this city.

It felt as if the entire world stood still.

Having been busy for a long time, Xyla and Stanley were both exhausted.

Upon alighting from the helicopter, the two of them went into the house and took a quick shower before getting into bed together.

Right then, the sky was beginning to brighten a little.

Xyla pressed on a remote control to shut the blinds to block out the sunlight.

The entire house became dark again.

Hugged by Stanley, Xyla told him all about her strange encounter in the underground palace.

After listening to everything she said, Stanley still maintained a calm look in his eyes. "I had a hunch that something really did happen."

"Yes, Darling. I think this whole thing is getting more and more complicated. Our past lives were much more complex than we imagined," Xyla sighed.

"I must be somehow related to that god and Sophie Kenwick. Otherwise, he wouldn't treat me like this. Neither would he pick Sophie intentionally either. He even said that Sophie's burial goods all belonged to me in the first place," Xyla added.

As Xyla spoke about this, she no longer felt sleepy.

Stanley seemed to be plotting something in his mind from the look in his eyes. "Yeah, I believe we will replace answers to all this sooner or later."

Xyla nodded. "Yeah."

Stanley frowned. "But, do you really plan to keep Sophie around? Aren't you worried that she might be lying?

"What if she has an ulterior motive?" Stanley added.

"I don't think so. If she's a bad person, she could've done anything to me when we were alone at the chamber earlier... She could've easily gotten what she wanted from me. Besides, I think she's a decent girl," Xyla said.

Stanley thought deeply for a few seconds before nodding. "Okay. I hope I'm just over-thinking."

"I trust my instincts," Xyla insisted.

With the powers Sophie had, she could've easily done anything she wanted to Xyla.

There was no reason for Sophie to stay by her side for any evil scheme.

Since Sophie didn't harm Xyla back then, hopefully, that meant she wouldn't in the future either.

"Are you planning to let her stay in our house?" Stanley asked.

"Yeah, can I?"

"Sure, but what's her identity here?" Stanley asked.

"She can be a bodyguard," Xyla suggested.

He thought for a few seconds longer before nodding. "Okay, let's not talk about this now. Shall we sleep?"

Xyla nodded obediently. She curled up in Stanley's arms and fell asleep.

She had a dreamless sleep all night long.

The couple slept until three o'clock in the afternoon before waking up at the same time.

Xyla slept very well this time, feeling relaxed when she opened her eyes.

Xyla stretched before reaching for her phone to check the time.

then curled up in Stanley's Sheet

"Good morning, Darling."

Her voice sounded even softer than usual when she just woke up.

Listening to her voice made Stanley feel as if he was melting on the inside.
