Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1965

Xyla Quest felt her baby kicking again.

The warm sensation spread from her stomach to the rest of her body.

Presently, she felt boundless energy all over her body.

Her feelings of exhaustion had disappeared completely, feeling as if she had only just woken up in the morning.

Xyla was a little surprised by this strange feeling, uncertain why she would feel like this when her baby kicked her in the stomach.

This was something Xyla had never discovered.

Right then, Stanley Batton walked up to her. "The bath is ready, Darling."

Xyla gently rubbed her stomach and gazed at him. "Our baby just kicked."

His gaze softened significantly when he heard this.

He splayed his hand on her stomach with a loving look in his eyes. "We'll be able to meet each other very soon."

Right then, Xyla felt the baby kicking gently again, right at the spot where Stanley was touching.

He instantly felt his heart melting.

"Can the baby sense that I'm touching your stomach? I could feel the baby kicking," Stanley smiled in his typical charming manner.

Xyla chuckled. "Probably."

Stanley didn't say anything as he continued to rub her belly gently.

She leaned back against the couch and allowed him to rub her stomach.

At this moment, she couldn't help but sigh. "Life is full of mysteries."

"Yes, and mothers play a significant role," Stanley said, his heart filling with gratitude.

He slowly looked up at his wife. "Thank you for bearing our child."

"As I should."

Ding-dong.

Ding-dong. Ding-dong.

The doorbell rang, prompting Xyla to glance at the door.

"Who would visit at this hour?"

Stanley didn't respond. Instead, he elegantly stood up and walked to the door to open it.

Zack Cassidy was standing outside.

He had braved through the snow, and he seemed cold with his shoulders and head covered in snow.

When Zack saw Stanley, he

immediately handed the two bagset

over, Mr. Batton, here are the items

you

wanted."

"Okay," Stanley replied before closing the door.

He then returned to sit next to Xyla.

Xyla could smell roasted sweet potatoes and stir-fried, sugary chestnuts from the bags Stanley was holding.

All of a sudden, Xyla realized why Zack was here at this hour.

At that moment, she felt warmth growing within.

Accepting the bags from Stanley, she opened them to find

sweet potatoes and stiet

chestnuts.

She could feel the warmth on her hands, although it wasn't as warm as her heart.

Xyla seemed full of joy. "I was only casually bringing it up. Why did you get Zack to buy these?"

"You might have brought it up

casually, but I took it seriously. You're a pregnant lady, so naturally, you should get to eat whatever you want," he explained.

After that, Stanley sat next to her and placed the bag of stir-fried, sugary chestnuts on his lap.

He then retrieved one of the chestnuts, cracked it open, and fed her.

The sweetness spread in Xyla's mouth, making her feel content.

"It's very sweet," she commented.

However, life was sweeter.

"Is it good?" Stanley asked.
