Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 499

Even until now, Xyla Quest still found it unrealistic that the man she fell in love with just happened to be her husband.

"Look... I really can't have them. I'm not short on money."

"Yes, you are."

"I told you I'm not."

"That's it. I assume you are. Just keep properly what's given to you, okay? Stop being so dumb and silly." insisted Stanley Batton assertively, though his tone remained gentle as usual.

Xyla scowled with dissatisfaction. "Excuse me? Who's dumb and silly?"

"You."

"You're the one who's dumb, okay?" Xyla refused to comply with him.

"All the stuff that I mentioned just now will be yours by noon today. You can do whatever you want with them."

"You're just like an insolent fellow." She had never seen anyone like him, forcing her to receive the gifts without even caring about her opinion.

As she spoke, her stomach started rumbling.

The aromas of food wafting through the air, all the way from the kitchen into her nose, making her feel extremely hungry.

Embarrassed by her growling tummy, Xyla awkwardly covered her stomach with her hand as fast as she could. However, the rosiness on her cheeks gave her away.

"Are you hungry?" Stanley asked, his eyes could not stop teasing her.

Xyla nodded in response.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Isn't Georgie cooking breakfast? Let's just eat here," Xyla answered.

"Sure."

"That reminds me, we need to wash up first. Let's go home after having breakfast," Xyla added.

"Great idea."

Subsequently, she led Stanley to the bathroom.

Without taking much time, she found two sets of brand new disposable toiletries in the bathroom, one for each of them.

Georgie Clementine heard the noises from the bathroom as she walked out of the kitchen with breakfast in her hands. Immediately, she placed the food and empty plates on the dining table and tip-toed to the bathroom door so as not to alert them.

When Georgie saw Xyla and Stanley were harmoniously brushing their teeth from the gap of the door, she was frozen to the ground instantly.

What was that? Had the two of them reconciled? In such a short time?

"Good morning, Georgie." Xyla greeted Georgie with a smile.

"Well, morning. I've made some breakfast. Come and eat when you're done." Georgie said as she exchanged looks with Stanley. She then gave him a polite nod before turning away and returning to the dining

room.

She pulled a chair and sat in front of the dining table, questions swimming in her head.

After Xyla and Stanley had done washing up, they walked into the dining room one after the other, joining Georgie for breakfast.

When Georgie noticed them walking to her, she rose to her feet and pulled out the chairs for both of them.

Georgie had prepared some authentic chinese breakfast for the three of them. There were soup dumplings, shrimp dumplings, soy milk as well as white porridge on the table.

"I'm not a good cook. Hope you guys don't mind," Georgie said awkwardly.

"They look appetizing to me." Stanley reassured her.

Picking up the chopstick in front of him, he took a soup dumpling from the bamboo steaming basket and placed it on Xyla's plate. "Eat more."

Xyla picked up the soup dumpling with her chopstick and ate it with her head down, her heart melted by his sweetness.

Bewilderment continued to pile up in Georgie's mind as she looked at the interaction between the lovebirds. However, she did not have the chance to ask Xyla about it due to Stanley's presence so she just kept quiet the entire time.

After finishing their meal, Stanley and Xyla bade a brief farewell to Georgie and left her house. The two of them went downstairs together before getting into their respective cars.

The two cars departed from Georgie's condo in tandem, speeding all the way back to their house.

As soon as they set foot into their house, Stanley's phone vibrated.

It was Zack Cassidy who called him.

Stanley took his time to put on his slippers before answering the call and turning on the speaker. While listening to Zack, he held Xyla's hand and walked her to the sofa in the living room. He had no intention to hide their conversation from Xyla, not in the slightest.

At the moment their fingers intertwined, Xyla's heart leaped once more.

"Fifth Master, I've already transferred the things you had requested just now under Xyla's name. They all belong to Xyla now." Zack reported to Stanley over the phone.

"Good."

"Fifth Master, when will you be back? Everyone's waiting for you to start the meeting."

"Inform them that the meeting will be postponed to four o'clock in the afternoon." Stanley responded without hesitation and hung up the phone shortly after.

"I'm still very sleepy, Stanley. I'm thinking of taking a nap first. You haven't slept well all night either, I suppose? Go up and get some sleep as well," Xyla said. "Sure. We'll sleep together."
