Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) -
Chapter 2331
Stanley Batton promised Xyla Quest last night that he wouldn't spoil their children without limits.
He had said he would deny some of their illogical requests.
Then why did he change his mind?
He jumped guiltily when he saw his wife. "I was planning to replace that chandelier, anyway. It doesn't look good anymore."
Xyla continued to frown. "Stanley, how could you do this? Didn't we agree on not spoiling the kids? Why didn't you keep your promise?"
It was the first time he had failed to keep his promise and over something like that.
When Xyla was pregnant, she remembered her husband saying he'd guide their children properly so that they would not become spoiled brats. Now, she wanted to know if he still remembered what he said.
"That-Anyway, the chandelier needs to be replaced," Stanley uttered without much conviction.
"It doesn't! It's brand new. We bought it just before they were born to decorate the nursery. It's only been a year!" she yelled in exasperation. "Besides, this chandelier costs tens of millions. How could you get rid of it so easily?"
Stanley had obviously crossed the line.
This time, Xyla refused to let him get away with spoiling their children.
She couldn't always let him do as he wanted.
"Come on, be honest! You don't want to replace the chandelier, do you? You're only using that as an excuse," she added.
"You didn't have to point it out," he countered.
She let out a long sigh at his words and then grabbed the intercom from Stanley to address the man. "You don't have to remove the chandelier. You can continue to rest."
"Waa!"
"Waa, I want the crystal! I want-"
Lynette Batton started crying right then.
An adorable little girl in tears and a red face was a pitiful sight.
Stanley felt his heart breaking into pieces when he saw her crying.
He picked her up carefully and started speaking into the intercom. "No. Come in and continue with the dismantling-"
"No! You're not allowed to enter," Xyla interjected loudly into the intercom.
"Come in," he insisted.
"No!" she argued back.
The handymen waiting in the courtyard were confused on the
other end of the intercom. The net
didn't know what they were
supposed to do.
Even the nannies present were also stunned.
"Come in," he repeated.
Xyla's facial expression darkened in rising anger. "Stanley, are you going against me?"
He released a long helpless sigh. His tone gentted when he gazed at his wife. "No, Darling. I just can't bear watching our daughter cry. I know what you said makes sense, but I can't do it."
"Then let me do it. Otherwise, I'm going to get angry," she said firmly.
Seeing that his wife was upset, he frowned and remained silent.
She realized that he was backing down. She went one step further by speaking directly into the intercom.
to whatever you were
doing."
With that, she directly hung up.
The handymen were still dumbdounded after overhearing the entire argument between the couple.
