Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 187

“…Yes,” Stanley Batton answered.

“Are you moving in together? Is it because your relationship has developed to this state, or is it all an act for her family?” Henry Armstrong asked.

“The latter,” Stanley said.

“Tsk… My excitement was all a waste,” Sebastian Brenand said straightforwardly.

“Did you develop feelings for our sister-in-law on that night? Have you really fallen for her? Henry asked.

“You like to gossip,” Stanley looked blankly at Sebastian before standing up and walking away.

“No… Why is this person walking away before answering the question properly?” Henry looked helpless.

“Isn’t this normal?” Gary Lakes chuckled.

“Do you guys think he has fallen in love?” Henry asked before nonchalantly spinning a beer bottle on the table.

After a second, the beer bottle began spinning quickly on the spot.

“I don’t know if he loves her or not, but I’m sure he has some positive feelings for her. If that were not the case, why would a man like him, who has never allowed himself anywhere near women, do these things?” Sebastian said confidently while crossing one leg over the other.

“I bet what the two of them are doing wouldn’t even appear in movie scripts. Clearly, they are a married couple. However, our sister-in-law doesn’t even know who he is, and ended up asking her real husband to pretend to be her husband.” Henry could not resist teasing before he started laughing out loudly.

“I can never understand why our sister-in-law doesn’t recognize her husband even after having slept with him. Although it’s true that they both did not show up to collect their marriage certificate, and had not seen each other after collecting it, wouldn’t there be a picture of them on the marriage certificate?” Sebastian asked.

“I’ve thought about this question. Either Stanley’s picture isn’t in the marriage certificate, or our sister-in-law has forgotten how he looked after seeing the picture. Didn’t Stanley say so himself? Stanley’s grandfather was afraid they would get a divorce. Hence, he kept the marriage certificate away from them,” Henry said.

“I feel that the picture wasn’t even there,” Gary said.

“Our sister-in-law doesn’t seem like a forgetful person. I guess there really wasn’t a picture,” Sebastian added.
