Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 442

Stanley and Josh Batton both looked at Sharon Lindt, waiting for her to speak.

“Your dad will be returning from overseas next Monday. Please keep your schedules empty in the evening so that you’ll have some time to visit him,” Sharon said.

“Alright.” Stanley nodded before turning to leave.

Josh nodded as well before following Stanley out.

After the two left, Catherine Batton looked at Sharon before hugging her affectionately. “Mom, can I stay till dad comes home? I really miss him.”

“No, you may not. Your studies are more important.”

“But mom… Please?” Catherine began acting like a child again, shaking Sharon’s arm gently. “Please, mom? Dad must miss me too…”

Catherine begged and begged, even looking at Sharon with puppy dog eyes.

Eventually, Sharon couldn’t help but to give in. “Alright, alright, you can leave next Tuesday instead…”

“Yay! Thanks mom, you’re the best!” Catherine cheered as she raised her arms in the air like a child.

“Silly kid…” Sharon sighed, a smile on her face as she stroked Catherine’s hair. “Well, since you’ve been caught skipping school anyway, you don’t need to hide in a hotel anymore. You can stay in our villa till you leave next Tuesday.”

“Then… Can I sleep together with you before dad comes home?” Catherine asked as she wrapped her arms tight around Sharon’s waist.

Sharon’s heart kept melting tonight. Her daughter was really something else. “Alright, alright, fine… Clinging on to your mother… You’re not a kid anymore you know?”

Though she sounded like she was complaining, her tone was warm and caring.
