Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2448

Hannah Roland tried her best to cover her mouth so that she wouldn't be heard crying. She didn't want Leon Batton, the guy she liked, to see her in such a downtrodden state.

However, it never occurred to her that he probably didn't care about any of this.

They had missed the opportunity to get to know each other again due to the many complicated situations they had encountered so far. Meanwhile, Leon drove Lynette Batton home in his limited-edition sports car after leaving the mall.

She had her window rolled down as she watched cars passing by outside.

"What took you so long in the mall earlier?" she asked casually.

"I met someone special," Leon answered in complete nonchalance. He didn't plan on keeping it a secret.

Hearing that, Lynette instantly detected potential gossip and nearly hopped onto her feet.

"Oh? I'm surprised an unfeeling person like you would have a special someone. Tell me more!"

"There's nothing to tell," he replied, replaceing her excited reaction hilarious.

"I don't believe you," she scoffed. "Did you bump into that girl from the other day?"

To her surprise, he seemed a little taken aback by her question. She caught his subtle reaction even though it only lasted briefly.

"No. Stop making random guesses," he denied without even thinking about it.

"I don't think it's random. You seemed touched when you received those letters. Besides, you've been acting strange lately," she said. She was quite confident in her suspicions after a period of observation.

"You're wrong," he denied again.

Realizing that her questions were pointless, Lynette decided to drop the subject for now.

"You're obyjously interested in her, yet you're still denying it. I was happy for nothing. I thought there would be some gossip this time," she murmured. én.swnovels.net

Leon's eyes glistened slightly. He was already feeling intense emotions inside even though he hid it well.

Finally, they arrived home.

Xyla Quest began reprimanding her daughter when she saw the two new purses in her hands.

From her perspective, Lynette was

was

only a high school student. It was unacceptable for her to be buying purses that cost up to a million

dollars at this point.

"Why did you buy her such expensive purses, Leon?" she asked as she pinned her son with a glare.

"I didn't think much of it. I bought the purses because Lynette liked them," he replied casually. He adored his little sister too much.

"What's wrong, Mom? Leon bought

them for me because he saw that

liked them. He's just being nice to me, Lynette said with a pout while speaking up on his behalf.

Then, she cozied up to Xyla's arm and behaved like the pampered princess she was. Her mother eventually gave in.
