Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1846

A strange sense of familiarity and sadness caused Stanley Batton's eyes to well with tears.

All these weird feelings in his heart were unusual for him.

Why did this girl in front of him feel so familiar?

In fact, he even felt emotionally hurt on her behalf.

He had a nagging feeling that there was an unusual connection between him and this girl in the past.

Stanley took a deep breath and addressed Sophie Kenwick. "We... Have we met?"

She shook her head while she took in his odd reaction. "No. What's the matter?" She seemed confused.

Stanley frowned and continued to study her face. "Nothing..."

Sophie nodded slightly, not fully believing what he said.

His reaction made Xyla curious as well.

She instantly held his hand gently. "What is it?”

Stanley shook his head. "We'll talk later."

Xyla nodded before pulling Sophie over. "I haven't officially introduced you two. This is Sophie Kenwick."

The girl extended her hand excitedly to Stanley. "It's nice to meet you, I'm Sophie," she said with a wide smile on her face.

Seeing her smile made his heart ache painfully for a second.

This strange yet familiar feeling made him curious about her.

He couldn't understand why his heart was aching.

Stanley nodded a little. "Yes, it's nice to meet you, too. I'm Stanley Batton."

With that, he gently shook her hand. "I'm sure my wife must have informed you about the rules in the house, right?" "Yes," Sophie said.

"Then there shouldn't be an issue," he responded.

Sophie nodded obediently. "Although my duty is

"Thank you," he said simply.

Sophie started smiling again. "You're welcome."

Her smile made Stanley's heart ache painfully once more for a split second before returning to normal.

To avoid the pain from recurring, he chose to avoid looking at her.

Meanwhile, Sophie continued to smile without realizing the effect it had on him.

Xyla was getting increasingly curious about Stanley's odd behavior.

She scrutinized him for a while before turning her attention to the girl. "Sophie; you can head upstairs to rest for a while. We'll have dinner later. You can take a shower in the bathroom. Do you remember how to use the shower as I taught you?"

Sophie nodded before confessing. "I already know how to use all these things even before you taught me. I learned a lot about how things worked when I wandered around in my spirit form."

"In that case, why were you paying such close attention?" Xyla asked.

Sophie didn't tell her Master that she had learned all those things and made her teach her everything from scratch.

Sophie chuckled. "I liked listening to you."

"All right then."

It was a relief that Sophie was a girl. Otherwise, Xyla would have thought she had a crush on her by saying such an odd thing.

After chuckling again, Sophie quickly went upstairs, humming as she went in a good mood.

The song she hummed was a classic melody, a tune that Xyla had never heard before.

However, when Stanley heard her humming, his heart started aching painfully once again. He couldn't help but start tearing up.

The intense emotions made him subconsciously pat himself on the chest.
