Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2302

Rachel Wood was happy, too.

The baby's arrival healed all the scars in her heart and made her feel at peace.

There was a feeling of satisfaction whenever she thought about becoming a mother.

The thought of a new life in her belly, belonging to her and Sebastian Brenand, made her heart melt.

"I will work harder in the future. Whatever other people have, I must make sure my wife and child have it, too," Sebastian declared.

"Also, let's try our best to keep your pregnancy a secret. Be more careful every day, as well. I'm worried my terrible parents might do something to you," he added.

Sebastian's parents sold Rachel to a rural village in the mountains in an attempt to separate them.

What else weren't they capable of doing?

In his eyes, his parents were no less evil than the devil himself.

"I will ask Stephen Harris to keep it a secret. I trust him. He's never been the kind to spill secrets," he went on.

Rachel nodded in agreement.

Everything he said was right.

One shouldn't harm others, but one must also not let their guard down.

"Let's also keep this a secret from Stanley Batton and the others. We may be close friends, but there's less risk of the news spreading if we don't tell them," he added. "Rachel, to be honest, I hope you can stay in this house until the baby is born. I know it's tough, but I'm really afraid."

There was a look of humility in his eyes as he spoke.

He knew how difficult this was for her, but it was the safest option from the look of things.

He knew he was being paranoid, but he wouldn't allow the slightest possibility of an accident to happen.

"I won't force you on that point, and I hope you won't be disgusted by my suggestion. I only want you and our baby to be safe," he went on.

Rachel wrapped her arms tightly

around his neck, nodding as she

gazed at him softly. "Okay, I'll det

Wer you say. Honestly, bthink

what you said makes sense

Sebastian was surprised by her response and instantly felt relieved. "Really?"

"Yeah, I know what you're thinking," she nodded. "I can understand it. I had the very same thought, to be honest.

"Even though staying at home until the baby comes won't be easy, I am willing to do it for our safety," she said.

She had first-hand experience of how depraved Sebastian's parents could be.

She was also afraid they would put her baby in harm's way to separate them since they had already proved they were willing to torture their own son. Why wouldn't they do the same to their grandchild?

He grinned in relief. "I'm glad you're able to think this way. It's decided, then. Thank you, Rachel."

"No need to thank me," she replied

softly. "It is my duty as a mother and

your wife. I have to protect my baby and

to make sure you have no reason

to worry about me."

His heart grew warm at her words. She seemed like a kind angel to him then.
