Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 811

His reply was simple, ‘Okay.’

Stanley Batton drove home in his black Bentley Arnage.

As soon as he reached home, he headed straight to the kitchen to find Xyla Quest.

Xyla was dressed in a white housecoat and a white apron on the outside. She was washing vegetables at the sink when Stanley walked into the kitchen.

She had styled her hair into a casual low ponytail with a green ribbon, looking cute and amicable.

Xyla’s soft lips instantly stretched into a genuine smile at the sight of her beloved husband. “Hubby, you’re back.”

Stanley walked up to her and washed his hands. Voluntarily and without warning, he picked up the vegetables and started washing them, taking over Xyla’s task. “Yeah.”

“Honestly, you don’t have to come back to help me. I can do it myself.” Xyla tilted her head and gazed at the man’s stunning face.

“Are you sure you want to cook for the whole family alone? That sounds tiring to me.”

“Nah, it’s not a big deal.”

Stanley did not argue and continued to wash the vegetables.

His consideration warmed Xyla’s heart.

Her husband always gave her the top priority regardless of the time of day. She was just like a spoiled little princess under his love and care.

“By the way, where’s Grandpa? How come he didn’t come back with you?” Xyla asked as she scanned the house.

“He went to meet an old friend,” answered Stanley.

“Oh, okay. Let me help you cut the vegetables.” Xyla offered to help.

“Sure. Be careful, alright?”

“I will.”

Xyla planned to make lemon chicken. Hence, she took the cleaned lemons from the sink and placed them on the cutting board, carefully slicing them.
