Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 168

“Zack must have told you what needs to be said, right?” asked Wilson, sounding grave.

“Yeah,” Stanley answered calmly, showing no emotional disturbance in his tone.

“There’s something important that I forgot to ask Zack to pass on to you, so I’ll say it now. If there’s something you don’t understand while spending time with my daughter-in-law, remember to ask me. No one’s better at love than I am.”

His tone was filled with confidence, like a certain dopey Mr. President.

Stanley slowly huffed out a mouthful of smoke. “… Got it.”

“You stupid brat. I always thought you were gay, and was even mentally prepared for you to bring Zack home and announce your relationship with him,” said Wilson. He was not shy to speak his mind.

Stanley held his forehead in defeat. In his heart, he wondered how could such a straight man like him be gay?

When Zack, who was standing beside Stanley, heard what Wilson said, his lips started twitching as he reconsidered his life choices. Exactly what was it about them that gave the chairman and madam the wrong idea?

Stanley had no intention to continue this subject, so he changed it, asking, “How is your health?”

“I’m quite well. Although this is the case, I still hope that you can let your mother return to Country Y as soon as possible. I miss her.” At the mention of Sharon, Wilson’s tone became much softer.

“Can’t you tell her yourself?”

“Isn’t that just nonsense? If she would listen to me, why am I asking you? This is because she’s too at ease with me staying beside your grandfather. If I’d known, I would have never come to Country Y.”

Stanley held his forehead helplessly. “… I’ll try.”

She would not even listen to his father, let alone him.

“Not try, you must.”

“... Do I have to? It has only been a month.” Stanley took a draw at his cigarette, his eyes as calm as a lake surface.

“It has been more than a month. She has already been in Country Z for a month now. And what about before that? She also went to our company in Country M to help me take care of some work, and that took three days. So accurately speaking, it’s been a month and three days,” Wilson added.
