Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2069

Xyla Quest instantly looked up at Wilson Batton. "What is it, Dad?"

"Forget it. We'll talk after lunch," he replied.

"Come on, what is it?"

Could this be related to the surprise that the nanny mentioned?

Wilson shook his head. "It's nothing that can't wait until after you've eaten."

Nodding obediently, Xyla lowered her eyes and resumed eating quietly, much to the approval and adoration of Sharon Lindt upon seeing how pliant she was.

Seeing her pretty daughter-in-law like this made her want to spoil her rotten.

Wilson felt the same way.

In his heart, he treated Xyla as his biological daughter.

Beep, beep, beep-

Sharon's phone started ringing right then. Seeing the caller as her son, Stanley Batton, she promptly answered the call.

"What is it, Son?"

"Is Xyla awake?" he asked.

"Yes, she's having lunch," she answered.

"How's her appetite?" he questioned.

"Fantastic."

"Okay, don't let her eat anything that might upset her stomach. She needs to eat clean," he reminded.

"I know, I know. I've cooked all the mild stuff today," Sharon assured him.

"Okay. Keep an eye on her and make sure she gets enough nutrients."

His mother ruffled Xyla's hair affectionately as she gazed at her. "I know. Don't worry and focus on work. Nothing can go wrong while I'm at home," Sharon told him

confidently. "Oh yes, bring.net

of

her snacks when you return tonight. Xyla hasn't had any snacks during her stay in the hospital. She must miss them."

Xyla instantly cheered up when she heard this.

Sharon was such an awesome mother-in-law for always thinking in her shoes, even figuring out that she had been craving snacks.

Xyla did miss having snacks after only taking all sorts of supplements during her time at the hospital.

"I know. I've already asked someone to buy some," Stanley replied, causing his mother to smile in approval.

Xyla grinned as well.

"Darling, it'd be best if you could get me a cup of milk tea," she said hopefully.

"Did you hear that? Xyla wants milk tea," Sharon repeated.

"I did. Hand her the phone, please," he said, his tone softening.

Sharon immediately handed the phone over to Xyla, who reached for it as she resumed eating a king crab's leg with her other hand.

Smiling sweetly, she greeted him. "Honey?"

Stanley, who had just finished lunch, was going around the office with Zack Cassidy to check on each department.

During his call, he merely stood

outside each department to glance

inward. Even so, he still attracted the attention of every staff member from each department as their ears perked up, feeling curious who he was talking to on the phone.

Those that sat close to the windows could hear what Stanley was saying, even as he ignored everyone and continued to peruse each

O'

department.

"Hey, Darling. Make sure you eat well. I'll spend time with you tonight once I get home, all right?" he said over the phone.

"What time will you be home?" Xyla asked.

"I'll try to make it home by five. Is that okay?"

"Okay. I'll wait for you at home," she answered softly.

His gaze softened. "I'll buy you a cup of milk tea from your favorite store when I head back."
