Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 396

Soon, a gap opened at the door.

A girl with blonde hair tied into two ponytails and bangs of uniform length popped her head out through the door.

The girl looked at him with her head slanted and a gorgeous smile. Her almond-shaped eyes filled with innocence were pure and the dimples around the corner of her mouth made her look extra cute. "Why are you here this late?" She complained. Her voice was sweet and clear.

"I had something to do, why did you dye your hair? It looks horrible..." He frowned slightly with a look of disgust.

Although his eyes were filled with disgust, his movements and eye contact were very gentle.

The girl opened the door fully and rolled her eyes at him straightaway. "This colour is trendy this year, alright? Don't you have any taste?"

"Alright, alright... I have no taste, happy with that?" After he said that, he gently caressed her hair and walked into her room.

The girl closely followed him from behind and sat onto the couch together with him.

She then crossed her legs naturally and grabbed a lollipop from the coffee table. She unwrapped one and passed it to him. "Want one?"

"I don't want it," Stanley Batton replied.

"You didn't tell mom that I'm back, right?" She blinked her pair of big watery eyes and asked.

"If I had told her already, are you still able to breathe this freely?"

"That's true, I would be packed up and sent straight back to J Nation," She said pitifully with curled lips.

"My fifth brother is still the best, even when I told you that I wanted to skip classes and come back, you didn't even scold me..." She said that while eating her lollipop.

"Would you stop skipping classes if I scolded you, Catherine Batton?" Stanley was helpless.

"That's true as well..." Catherine Batton giggled. Her gorgeous pair of dimples appeared perfectly once again. They were so sweet and intoxicating as if they came with bottles of perfectly brewed red wine.

"I just gave my sixth brother a call and I told him that I'm back. He said that he will pay me a visit tonight. Join us for disco-dancing at night..."

"Got it," Stanley replied without even thinking.

"Fifth brother, I will be going to play some games at the cybercafe later, are you coming with me?"

"No..." Stanley frowned. "If you want to play games, I will just buy you the best laptop."

He did not like to go to places like cybercafes as they are crowded and noisy.

"Damn, I wanted to go to the cybercafe today," Catherine gently poked on his arm and said coquettishly.

"I still have work in the afternoon. Just go alone if you really want to. I will send some men to protect you secretly." Stanley was determined.

"You can work in the afternoon, but you need to accompany me at night."

"Alright." Stanley caressed her hair once again. He sighed in his heart, 'Time flies.'

He still had some memories of her when she first came to the Battons' mansion. She was only seven years old, just a little kid.

In a blink of an eye, she was now a grown up and an elegant young lady.

"But don't you send your men to follow me," Catherine said, "I don't like to have a group of people following me, it's uncomfortable."

"Alright... give me a call if anything happens."

"Hmm... I heard about the stories between you and my sister-in-law from Mom... Fifth brother, how's the progress between both of you?" Catherine seemed very interested. "Don't ask so much about the adult stuff, kiddo."
