Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 475

“What’s the deal? Huh? Tell Grandpa…” Flustered, Ron Batton tried to pry the details out of her.

Xyla Quest shook her head. “It doesn’t matter.”

She did not want to give him any trouble since today was his birthday.

It would be more appropriate for her to tell him the truth tomorrow.

However, Ron insisted on pursuing the matter. “That’s not true, there must be something wrong with you. I know you very well. Are you afraid of giving me trouble because it’s my birthday today? Come on, tell Grandpa! You’re the one giving me a hard time if you refuse to tell me your problems.”

Xyla, yet, shook her head once more while trying to maintain her calm facade. “You’re imagining things. I’m just excited to see you because we haven’t met for a very long time.”

“Lies… Be honest with me!” Ron demanded as his face went dark again. “Did your sister bully you again? Or it is someone else?”

“No one bullied me, Grandpa. You’re overthinking.”

“Why are you so down then? You must’ve something on your mind. Grandpa is going to skip dinner if you don’t be frank with me.”

“Grandpa…” Xyla was as helpless as a baby.

Nevertheless, she really did not want to speak the truth today.

Who did not want to have a happy and enjoyable birthday?

“Spit it out, girl.”

“Grandpa, I’m sorry.” Xyla muttered with dread as she hung her head down and closed her eyes. Though she had a lot to tell him, the words seemed to stick in her throat. She did not know where to begin.

She really did not want to talk about this matter on his birthday.

Despite that it was a bad timing, she knew that she had to confess to him no matter what. She was well aware of her master’s temper. He would try all his might to get to the bottom of it.

He was not going to give in if he did not force the truth out of her.
