Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 585

At first, Xyla Quest thought she might have had to put in a lot of effort to convince Wilson Batton.

She now believed that Wilson wanted to go to Josh Batton’s concert all along, but he never made that decision because he was too prideful.

When Xyla brought it up today, Wilson immediately agreed to her request. Firstly, he probably did so because he respected her. Secondly, he might have agreed to it because he wanted to go anyway, and Xyla happened to have offered him the opportunity to do so without jeopardizing his pride.

By the time the two of them arrived downstairs, Stanley Batton and the rest were already seated on the couch, eating fruits.

Catherine Batton was sharing news about #JayTyCP, a celebrity couple she recently became a huge fan of, with Sharon Lindt. The two of them were having a great time talking about it.

Catherine repeatedly showed Sharon pictures of the two celebrities. They seemed completely engrossed.

Meanwhile, Stanley appeared completely uninterested. He was eating fruits while he looked at his phone.

The way Catherine and Sharon were worshipping the celebrity couple made them appear almost like any regular pair of mother and daughter.

Xyla had never expected her mother-in-law to be accepting of a gay couple. Logically speaking, people close to Sharon’s age were all relatively more conservative when it came to things like homosexuality.

“What are you two talking about?” Xyla approached them and sat in between Stanley and Sharon. Stanley quickly looked away from his phone to Xyla’s face.

On the other hand, Wilson walked quickly over to a single couch next to them and sat down. “What else could they talk about? They’re probably going crazy over a celebrity couple. Look at your mother. She’s already very old but she’s still going crazy over a gay couple like a young person,” Wilson said.

“That shows how Mother is keeping up with the times,” Xyla said.

“Indeed, she is,” Wilson said as he looked at Sharon affectionately.

Xyla couldn’t help but think about how being a good husband was a trait passed on from one generation to the next in the Batton family.

“Mother, most people your age don’t really buy into this…” Xyla said.

“That’s because they don’t understand it and have a conservative mindset. Isn’t this great? Xyla, aren’t these two cute guys from your company? I’ve been voting for them recently. I have spent a lot of money… I want to make sure they walk down the aisle together.

“I will financially support them, and I’ll make sure they receive money every day. They’re a real couple, aren’t they, Xyla?” Sharon added.

“If you think they are, then they are,” Stanley said.

Xyla knew that Stanley answered in such a way because he didn’t want to crush Sharon and Catherine’s hopes.
