Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2216

Sharon Lindt appeared unconcerned. "Why does it matter? People your age should stay out late. You're not old, so what's the concern about coming home before midnight?" Xyla Quest couldn't help but laugh at this.

Stanley Batton calmly walked over and sat down next to his wife. "My parents don't mind."

"Yes, it's fine if you want to stay up all night. You both should enjoy your lives while you're still young. Your mother and I would stay up all night sometimes, too," Wilson Batton spoke up.

Xyla's smile gradually widened, recalling the videos she'd recently seen of people complaining about their mothers-in-law on TikTok.

Their mothers-in-law would often nag at them for getting home late and not looking after their children due to work.

Some would even nag at them despite staying at home to look after their children every day.

Compared to these people, Xyla was even more content with her life, feeling like she was practically living in heaven.

She was very much at peace.

"That's right. Aren't people meant to stay up late, anyway?" Sharon asked.

"Won't you mind that I'm making Annabeth stay up despite being pregnant?" Xyla asked, chuckling.

"Once in a while is acceptable. When I was pregnant, I even stayed up until three in the morning. I turned out fine, didn't I?" her mother-in-law asked.

With a look of disbelief in her eyes, she wondered, "Who were you pregnant with at the time?"

"Hmm, Stanley," Sharon said thoughtfully. "And Josh. And their elder brothers. All of them."

She was rendered speechless. Her mother-in-law was out of this world!

"Didn't Dad mind?" she asked.

"I allowed it because she was physically healthy. She was still young and playful, so I understood. It was fine as long as she rested during the day," Wilson said, prompting his wife to nod along.

Then, Sharon regarded Xyla with complete seriousness. "I'm telling you these things not for you to do what I did, though. We're different didn't have to work during the day back then. You, on the other hand, have a career. You should get enough rest at night.

"If not for any other reason than for your health. Anyway, you should still sleep before two in the morning And, you must promise me that you'll get eight hours of sleep every night," she added.

Xyla nodded obediently, melting the other woman's heart.

Right then, Lynette Batton and Leon Batton, who were in their arms, started smiling at Xyla and Stanley Batton with clear looks in their eyes.

Watching them smile made Xyla feel warm in her heart.

"I'll wash my hands and hold them," she said eagerly before quickly heading to the bathroom with her husband following behind her.

After they'd washed their hands, she slowly dried her hands with a towel with a contemplative look at Stanley. "Honey, do you think I'm not a good enough mother?"

"Hmm?" Stanley uttered in confusion.

"I feel as if my only contribution to the family is delivering the children. I haven't done anything else a mother should do. I've never breastfed or changed their diapers. I've never

even fed them formula milk, she said.

IMS

Everything she mentioned was taken care of by her in-laws, her husband, and the nannies.

"I can't even spend time with our children," she went on.

However, Stanley smiled reassuringly. "So what? Our family can afford it. Who said a mother must do all those things?"

"But most mothers do," she insisted.

"That's their choice. As for you, you don't have to do anything," he said.
