Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 303

“No, your father is well now and will be back home in a little while,” Sharon Lindt said.

“You really are having a good time… Always leaving my dad behind at Grandpa's, free as a bird,” Josh Batton said.

“Nothing will happen to him. Your grandfather is such a good doctor. Besides, it's not like I'm intentionally staying away from him. I have my problems to deal with here, don’t I? Can’t you see I'm trying to keep an eye on your big brother and Xyla Quest?” Sharon asked.

The smile on Josh’s face disappeared at the mention of Xyla’s name, and the light in his eyes faded.

The disappointed look on his face was so fleeting that no one noticed.

“I told you. You don’t have to worry about my life,” Stanley Batton said.

“Should I not worry just because you tell me not to? I am worried about you anyway. What can you do about it?” Sharon said.

Stanley pinched his nose bridge in frustration and didn't say anything.

After talking to Stanley, Sharon focused on Josh. “And you, Josh, when are you going to find a girl?”

Josh laughed and said, “I, for one, am in no hurry. Wait for another two years.”

The girl he wanted to be with the most was not destined for him. Hence, there was no one else he wanted to fall in love with.

“At your age, it’s the best time to fall in love. You get to date for a few years, get married, and have kids. Isn’t that great?” Sharon said.

Sharon let out a long, frustrated sigh and added, “You look so good. Wouldn’t it be a waste for you not to date around? With such a good-looking face, you still behave like a monk. What’s the point?” Sharon added.

“I just recalled that there’s something I need to attend to. I must get changed and leave. Big Brother, you can stay here and chat with Mom,” Josh got up out of frustration and left.

Back in his room, the smile on Josh’s face was completely gone.

The light in his eyes faded once again.

He squeezed his phone tightly and sat on the edge of his bed. Silently, he opened the photo album and found a picture of him with Xyla at Chanel’s show.

They seemed so perfect for each other.
