Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2383

Every time Lynette Batton made an unreasonable request, Leon Batton would be annoyed and cold to her.

But then, he would give in instantly whenever she made a sad face because he adored his little sister way too much. "Keep an eye on your little sister, Leon. She can only have three mouthfuls," Xyla Quest told her son.

That was the limit she had set because Lynette's stomach was relatively weaker.

Leon nodded before addressing his sister. "Let's go. Come with me."

His tone sounded firm and irrefutable, prompting Lynette to follow behind him to the door.

"When you're done with dessert, bring your sister upstairs with you and get ready for bed, all right?"

"Got it," he answered without turning his head and led Lynette away.

Their nannies left one after another as the kids grew up, so Xyla had hired four new nannies.

Apart from taking care of the children's food and daily activities, they were also responsible for cooking and cleaning the house.

Xyla and Stanley had gotten much busier with work over the years and had very little free time. They spent what little time they could carve out by accompanying their two kids.

That left very little time for chores around the house, hence the need for hiring nannies to pick up the slack despite abhorring having strangers around.

Four nannies were just adequate to take care of the children and upkeep the sizeable house.

Two nannies, Shanice and Mica, silently stood behind Leon and Lynette once they entered the kitchen. They were there to accompany them for their safety while supervising their ice cream indulgence.

Shanice and Mica waited by the door with their watchful eyes on the kids as Leon helped himself to the fridge to retrieve a tub of ice cream for Lynette.

He uncovered the tub before pulling Lynette down to sit on the floor. He then carefully scooped two mouthfuls of ice cream for her with a spoon.

She had her mouth open again, waiting for the third.

Her brother hastily closed the lid and replaced it into the freezer.

"Be good. You're not allowed to eat too much. Your body can't take it," he said with a warning look.

She immediately pulled the same trick and began to pout, but he didn't fall for it this time.

He adored his little sister, but he knew there were limits. Her health came first.

Realizing that her usual stunt wasn't

"It's for your own good," her brother insisted.

"Hmph!"

"Let's go, Sis. It's time for bed," he reminded her, extending his hand to help her up.

She refused to comment but still obediently held his hand and left the kitchen with him. Growing up, the siblings were constantly by each other's side.

They were closest to each other.

He was her favorite person. She never failed to annoy him on most days, but she knew he loved her.

He was the kind of person who seemed uncaring on the outside but devoted on the inside.

and she soon fell asleep in

his warm arms.

The four nannies felt their hearts melting at the sight.

This happened frequently before, but they would still feel touched by the twins' devotion and trust in each other.
