Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2447

For Leon Batton, Lynette Batton could have anything she wanted. He was willing to pluck the stars and moon from the sky for her, let alone buy her a lipstick.

That was how a brother would behave if he loved his sister. He wanted to fulfill her every request that was within his means. He liked seeing his little sister happy all the time. "That's awesome. You're the best, Leon!" Lynette leaped into the air and wrapped her arms around his neck.

In front of her brother, she could do whatever she wanted and act like a child.

They were about to head home after a day of shopping and getting into their car in the parking lot when Lynette suddenly screamed.

"What's the matter?" Leon asked frantically, worried that something might have happened to her.

"I think I left my stuff in the lipstick store. What should I do?" his sister lamented while fishing for something in her pockets.

"All right, wait here for a moment. I'll go back and look for it," he replied calmly before returning to the shopping mall by himself.

Leon made his way to the YSL store and managed to retrieve the items left behind after explaining to the staff behind the counter.

Then, he hurried out of the mall, not wanting to let his sister wait alone for too long, when suddenly, he came to a screeching halt.

From the corner of his eyes, he had glimpsed a familiar face. He saw a young lady in a red-and-black uniform not far away as he turned around.

It was a simple attire, yet her beauty was unconcealable. Her long silky hair, pretty eyes, and smoky makeup gave off a cold vibe.

Leon couldn't resist staring at her as she reminded him of the student who stood in front of him the other day.

If he wasn't mistaken from eavesdropping on some of the gossip of his classmates, she was the girl who worked hard to fund her own studies at their prestigious school.

Leon, who usually never cared about anyone else, actually stayed to observe the young lady silently for some inexplicable reason.

He watched as she stood outside a beverage shop, promoting some sample drinks in front of her. There was a small megaphone hanging by her waist. Her beauty was still apparent even with a cap on her head.

"Would you like to have a taste of our new product? This is our newest yam flavored bubble milk tea!" she announced enthusiastically with a sweet smile.

She seemed so passionate in promoting the new flavor despite being rejected repeatedly by passersby.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound,

and she had accidentally spilled the glass of yam bubble milk tea she was holding due to the floor being too slippery. én.swnovels.net

Leon frowned when he saw this and subconsciously thought of stepping forward to help her, but then he saw her standing up on her own, so he hung back.

The girl ended up falling to the ground with milk tea spilled all over her. It was a sorry sight to see her biting her own lip.

"Are you all right?" the shop owner asked as he quickly came to her aid.

She smiled and gave a curt nod, pretending to be unaffected.

Leon stood where he was as the thought of a sunflower appeared in his mind.

The girl was like a stubborn

sunflower, persistantly chasing after the sun despite anything that stood in its way. She'd even smile to hide her pain when she fell.

He suddenly felt an urge to approach her and ask for her name.

However, his phone suddenly rang. Lynette was getting impatient, and was calling to ask where he was.

"Leon, haven't you found my stuff? It's been over half an hour," she said anxiously.

"I've got it. I'll be out soon," Leon assured her before ending the call.

The girl had disappeared by the time he turned back around to look for her.

'Did I miss another opportunity?' he thought to himself.

Finally, he left with a bitter smile. There was nothing he could do except believe that fate would bring them together one day.

Not long after he left, a small figure hiding under a table in front of the shop resurfaced.
