Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2323

Xyla Quest and Annabeth Cates exchanged amused glances and smiled upon hearing Sharon Lindt's words.

If they were honest, they both knew perfectly well that they had such good lives because of Sharon as their mother-in-law.

There were countless examples of terrible mothers-in-law around them, so for that reason, the lucky ladies felt particularly grateful toward her.

They thanked God for giving them such a wonderful mother-in-law.

Sharon beamed. "Xyla, Annabeth, is there anything about me that displeases you? If so, please voice it out. I can change."

They shook their heads vehemently at that notion.

"Of course not! You're the best mother-in-law in the world," Annabeth declared.

"I have no complaints, either," Xyla spoke up right after her. "You are such a wonderful person. So is Dad. Your sons are also great men. There is absolutely nothing about this family we'd ever change." Xyla meant every word she said.

She couldn't think of anything the Batton family did that made her feel dissatisfied. No matter how hard she thought about it, nothing came up.

The Batton family was practically perfect.

Annabeth felt the same way. "Yes, I share Xyla's thoughts. I think the world of you both, and my parents do, too. They told me once that you and Dad are the best in-laws in the world.

"My father even advised me to treat you both respectfully at all times. Otherwise, I'd be punished by God," she added.

In her opinion, members of the Batton family were practically gods. Like Xyla, she couldn't replace any flaws in any of them.

She owed them for her perfect life.

Xyla suddenly began to miss her father at the mention of Annabeth's parents, wishing he was still alive.

He would have been able to see her and her children leading happy lives if he hadn't died from an illness.

Xyla loved her father. All he ever wanted was for her to be happy. He would have been pleased if he saw her living happily like this.

That thought made her feel heartbroken as she missed him so much.

Thinking about it now, she realized she hadn't visited his grave lately as she had been busy preparing for her children's birthday party.

It was why she forgot about her father, she thought guiltily.

She decided to visit his grave tomorrow to share her joyful and sorrowful experiences with him.

Sharon noticed the gloomy look on her face. "Xyla, are you missing your father, dear?"

Stanley Batton also peered anxiously at his wife when he heard that.

Xyla nodded with a bitter smile on her face. Her eyes were slightly red.

Sharon turned an accusing glare at Stanley then. "It's all your fault. Why haven't you taken Xyla to visit her father's grave recently?"

He just bobbed his head in shame at

her question. He had honestly forgotten about it while busy

planning his children's one-yel.ne

birthday party recently.

His mother rolled her eyes at him. "It's your fault," she accused hime "How insensitive of you. I've wasted my efforts to raise you. My daughter-in-law is unhappy now. Hurry up and make it up to her."

Xyla couldn't resist chuckling when she heard her accusation. "Mom, please don't keep blaming Stanley. He's been doing very well. He's just gotten too busy recently."
