Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1061

"Alright." Xyla Quest smiled.

She had just the same thought. Once the encrustation was removed, she would offer this purple clay teapot as a gift to her grandfather-in-law.

"Xyla, I simply love you and admire you so much. Tell me, how do you know everything?" Sharon Lindt wasn't concealing her admiration for Xyla at all.

"My father and grandfather both liked collecting antiques. Being with them all the time, it's hard not to pick up a few things," Xyla said.

"My Xyla really is excellent!" Sharon looked at Xyla as if she was a young female fan of Xyla's.

"Mom, you flatter me," Xyla said.

"Not at all. My daughter-in-law is better than anyone else," Sharon said.

"That's an exaggeration," Xyla said.

"It isn't... Not a single bit." Sharon was smiling the entire time. When she looked at Xyla, there was a glimmer in her eyes. "Oh, right. Has Stan been bullying you recently?"

Xyla felt a sense of warmth spread in her heart. She grinned from ear to ear. "No, he's been very good to me."

"That's good. If this little b*stard dares to treat you badly, I'll kill him." Sharon's facial expression turned solemn when she mentioned this.

Whenever Xyla heard Sharon saying such things, she felt as if she was Sharon's biological daughter, and Stanley was the adopted son.

Sharon accompanied Xyla and walked her through the night market from beginning to end.

Not only did they eat the ice cream Xyla craved for, but they also had cold noodles, stir-fried noodles, roasted squid, and a variety of other snacks. Sharon, though a lady of luxury, was not at all pretentious and ate with joy.

The two of them were just like sisters. They walked around leisurely, chatted with each other, and ate at the same time. It was very fun. Sharon had the heart of a young lady. Hence, Xyla didn't feel tired hanging out with her at all.

Come to think of it. They weren't like in-laws. They were more like friends.

Once they were done walking around, Sharon sent Xyla back home.

By the time Xyla walked through the door, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

In the living room, a light was left on for her.

The warm, yellow tone of the light warmed her heart for a moment.

She wasn't in a hurry to get upstairs. Instead, she held the purple clay teapot and sat down on the sofa before carefully examining it. The joy of getting something like this from the flea market was indescribable.

In the future, she would have many more of such pleasures.

At that moment, Stanley Batton came down from upstairs.

He was wearing silver-grey silk loungewear. Since he had just taken a shower, his thick hair wasn't completely dry yet.

The elegant color made the man appear even more cool and noble.

When Xyla heard footsteps, she immediately turned around and looked at Stanley. "Why are you still awake?" she asked. Stanley stepped forward and sat next to her naturally as he pulled her onto his lap. "I was waiting for you," he said. "You could've slept first," Xyla said.

"I was worried about you," Stanley said.

"What's there to worry about? Do you think I'm a child?" Xyla asked.

"Hmm. You're my child." With that, Stanley hugged her tightly and naturally placed his chin on her neck.

His warm breath repeatedly spread over her earlobe. The electrifying numbness shot straight to Xyla's heart.

"I'm not a kid," Xyla said.

"Yeah. You're a big one..." Stanley said.

When Xyla heard this, her face and neck instantly turned red...
