Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2167

Xyla Quest laughed. "Don't you?"

Stanley Batton gently pinched her cheek. "Why would you ask that? I'm your husband. Why would I be impatient when I do something for you?"

Smiling as her heart fluttered in her chest, she sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. "That's good. I was afraid you might get annoyed someday." Xyla knew what it felt like to wait in line and always hated it.

"I won't. Although I'm usually an impatient person, I'm willing to wait if it's for you," he said.

She beamed upon hearing this. "You're so good to me."

"That's why you should appreciate me," he said.

"You're acting like a woman," she said, rolling her eyes.

"Am I?"

"Yes, you are," she replied, taking another sip of her milk tea. She could taste the slight sweetness in her mouth.

Even the air seemed sweet at that moment.

"I wonder how the kids are doing at home. Let's go home and check on them soon," she added.

She missed her children as soon as she brought them up.

Apart from her husband, her babies were the ones she missed the most.

Their highs and lows of emotions could affect her easily.

"Okay, sure," he agreed, beginning to miss them when she mentioned Lynette and Leon Batton.

He felt an urge to return home to

check on them several times throughout the working day. However, he couldn't step away from his busy schedule.

"I've thought about them throughout the day while I was working. I

wanted to go home and see the ne

but couldn't," she admitted, echoing his thoughts.

"Me too."

"After having children of my own, I can understand my parents' love better," she said.

For the same reason, Xyla missed her father even more, now realizing how great her father's love was for her. "Yeah," Stanley murmured.

"Both my parents are no longer around, so from now on, we should treat your parents better," she said.

Nobody could love someone more than their own parents. Anyone else might abandon them but not their parents. Stanley nodded. "Yes, I agree."

After finishing their milk tea, they held each other's hands and walked out of the office.

By then, most of the employees had already left, so the entire office was quiet.

After getting into the car, they drove home.

They could hear Lynette and Leon laughing loudly as soon as they entered the house, melting their hearts.

Unable to wait before seeing their children, they hurriedly changed out of their shoes and walked into the living room.

Then, they saw Lynette and Leon

lying on playmats, kicking with their feet while Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, and the nannies surrounded them in a circle.

The adults were all holding toys to entertain the children and to get their attention.
