Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 451

Xyla Quest was busy until late in the afternoon.

What remained of the setting sun beamed through the french window, making her room appear extra warm.

After reading one final document, Xyla massaged her aching neck and shoulders a little before getting up and walking out onto the balcony.

Streams of golden rays danced between flowers and trees under the dimmed sky.

A black Honda soon came into sight.

The car moved closer to her while it faced the setting sun. Just by looking at it, Xyla felt at ease and secure. A beautiful smile subconsciously appeared on her face.

A few seconds later, the Honda came to a steady halt while a man dressed in a black suit and black pants got down.

Even the warm hue of the sky couldn’t melt away the coldness and loneliness that surrounded him.

From a distance, Xyla could still clearly feel the nobility from the man’s body.

Unexpectedly, Stanley Batton looked up and fixed his eyes upon her.

The two of them looked at each other from afar, through the light of the setting sun. In that moment, the coldness in the man’s eyes faded away.

Sensing the man’s gaze, Xyla felt as if her heart had skipped a beat, and she forgot to breathe all of a sudden.

Xyla’s heart that had been in a deep slumber for the longest of time now throbbed once again in the prime of her youth.

She knew her heart shouldn’t be throbbing for this person, but she couldn’t help herself.

Xyla knew that it was impossible to return to how things were before.

In a moment of mixed emotions, she made a major decision that took root in the depths of her heart.

In the next second, the man looked away and started walking into the house.

She too quickly shifted her gaze away, fixed her hair, and went downstairs.
