Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 174

After picking the oranges, Xyla led him to the commodities area to see if there was anything else they needed at home.

“I seem to have forgotten to bring something over,” Stanley was looking calmly at the underwear area as he spoke.

“Just buy whatever you’re missing here,” said Xyla.

Stanley leaned down, folding his arms on the cart’s handle and stared straight at her, asking faintly, “Do you think these here will fit me?”

Xyla looked confused. She had no idea what he was talking about. “Huh?”

He kept quiet, pointing to the men’s underwear section.

Following his finger’s direction, Xyla immediately noticed an entire section filled with men’s underwear not too far away.

Her face and neck instantly flushed red.

Why did that sentence sound so ambiguous? So shameless?

Oddly, this was obviously a mischievous question, but she did not feel disgusted when he asked with a straight face.

Memories she had buried with so much difficulty came surging back like a great flood. As if she had been electrocuted, her body felt numb, and her heart started beating faster.

Wait… why did she think about that stuff?

Xyla gave an awkward cough and looked at him. “About that night… Didn’t we agree not to bring it up?”

“Did I bring it up?” he responded, looking serious as always. Without any emotion in his eyes, he stood up straight, looking proper.

Xyla was speechless. Although he never said it, that sentence made way for imagination.

“What are you blushing for?” he asked faintly.

“Who’s blushing?” Xyla ignored him and pushed the cart forward, hurrying away.

His eyes crinkled as his lips curled into a subtle grin when he stared at her back profile.
