Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1916

Gary Lakes smiled tenderly.

Sophie Kenwick accepted the tickets with a beaming smile on her face. "Thank you, Gary."

"You're welcome. Have you had lunch?" he asked.

As they spoke, her stomach started growling, and her face reddened with embarrassment at the sound.

Gary chuckled. "Hmm, sounds like you haven't. Would you like to join me for some food?"

Sophie began to nod but then hastily shook her head after that.

She couldn't just run off when she needed to stay by Xyla's side to protect her.

Gary raised his brows briefly with a slightly curious look in his eyes. "What's the matter? Are you turning me down?"

"No, but I was supposed to eat with Xyla," she told him.

"That's easy, we'll get Xyla to come along," he decided and then proceeded to call Xyla Quest on his phone.

"What are you up to, Xyla?" There was a constantly tender look in his eyes.

"I'm working. What's up, Gary?" Xyla asked.

"Let's have lunch together."

"No, I can't. I still have work to do," she replied, glancing at the pile of documents in front of her.

"Well, hurry up! Your little girl is hungry, but she is dead set on not eating with me."

"My little girl? Do you mean Sophie?" When Xyla heard this, she immediately looked around the room, just only realizing that she was gone. Xyla was too focused on work to realize when Sophie had left.

"Yes," he replied.

"Are you here to pass Sophie the concert tickets?" Xyla asked.

"Yeah. Come on, do it for me," he implored.

Since Gary said so, Xyla slowly nodded and pinched her forehead. "Fine, I'm coming down."

After that, Xyla set her phone down

and

to pull on her pink woolen coat fixed her makeup before heading down with her phone in hand.

Although she was already several months pregnant, she was lean enough, and the position of the fetus was toward the back, such that she still looked like a young woman who wasn't pregnant after putting on her coat.

Xyla could still pass for a teenager with how she walked, being light on her feet without seeming pregnant.

As soon as she made her way downstairs, she could see Gary and Sophie chatting in the lounge area on a couch.

The two female receptionists behind them kept staring at Gary.

Xyla quickly approached them. "Let's go."

Gary slowly stood up. "Okay, let's go."

When Sophie saw this, she immediately removed Gary's coat and held it out to Gary. "Thank you, Gary. I'm not cold anymore."

"Keep it, it'll still be cold when we

head outside later. I wouldn't wame you to catch a cold," Gary replied

before walking out of the epli !!!

lobby.

Xyla gazed at Gary from behind before glancing over at the coat worn by Sophie and began to smile.

She felt that Gary treated Sophie quite differently from other girls.

"Xyla, what are you thinking about? Let's go," Sophie said as she cheerfully grabbed Xyla by her arm. Sophie was famished.
