Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 697

As long as Xyla Quest was there, Emily Quest would definitely be the forgotten one.

Xyla was a diamond shining in the dark. She was dazzling enough to overshadow the people around her, and this included Emily.

Even when they were kids, she had always lived in Xyla’s shadow. She was fed up with it.

Seeing that Stanley had already poured the wine for Xyla, Josh Batton did not say anything else and continued eating. From time to time, he would reach over to refill Catherine’s plate.

Catherine kept her head down the whole time, focusing on her dinner. She did not even bother to look at Emily.

“Wilson, Sharon, Xyla told me that you have four other children besides Stan, Josh, and Catherine. Is that true?” May Conner tried to switch the subject again to keep Emily from being embarrassed.

“Yes.” Sharon Lindt was not interested in talking with May.

“I’ll introduce them to you next time. The four of them are currently abroad. They’re pretty busy, so they rarely come back,” Wilson Batton explained.

“Sure. I’m looking forward to meeting them. I believe that they’re all brilliant kids,” May said again.

“It must be really tiring to keep flying around the world, right?” Emily asked as she turned to Josh.

“Yeah.”

“Can’t your company let you rest once in a while?” It seemed so unreal to sit beside his favorite idol. For a second, Emily felt as if she was suffocating.

Many celebrities looked better on screen than they do in real life, but Josh was an exception.

His skin was fair and soft like the morning dew. No matter how close one got to him, they would not find a single enlarged pore on it.

Tenderness was shimmering in his eyes.

There seemed to be a crystal clear stream flowing from his eyes, penetrating her and filling her empty heart.

Most of the girls would prefer Stanley Batton over Josh. However, Josh was the perfect man on earth to her.

His temperament alone was enough to make her heart melt.

Generally, the hot guys would exude an aggressive and oppressive aura despite having appealing looks.

Nonetheless, Josh had never given her this kind of feeling.

People admired him for his amiability as much as his good sense. Though he was a superstar, one would not feel distanced from him because he was friendly to everyone.

Josh was just like a sunny senior one met in passing in university, wearing a snow-white shirt, riding a bicycle.
