Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2230

'Xyla Quest, the billion-dollar bride#' even claimed the number one spot on all lists of hot topics in Country Z, receiving the most attention on Weibo. People were practically going mad as they discussed the topic.

Xyla and Stanley Batton slept until eight o'clock in the evening before their eyes finally opened in pitch-black darkness.

He carefully let go of Xyla to turn on the lights, its sudden brightness making her narrow her eyes.

Frowning slightly, she murmured and clung onto her husband like an octopus, appearing to be in a daze due to lack of sleep.

Seeing her clinging onto him like a kitten made his heart melt.

He changed his posture and hugged her tightly, pressing a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"Honey, do you want to get up? We should eat something," he said softly.

They hadn't eaten much since the wedding as they had to entertain guests the entire time during the ceremony.

She pressed closer to him again. "Okay, but I don't know what to eat."

"What would you like?"

Closing her eyes, she said jokingly, "I want to eat you. Can I?"

Stanley instantly flipped over and pressed down against her. "That works, too."

Xyla knew her joke had gone too far, and she immediately pushed him away. "Come on, let's get some proper food."

He didn't press on. Instead, he slowly sat upright and gazed at her. "Are you finally awake? Hmm?"

She blushed and nodded, eyeing her phone as she thought of Sophie Kenwick again.

She was definitely more awake now.

She immediately picked up her phone and glanced at it, finding no news about Sophie.

Stanley followed suit and noticed an unread message on his phone's screen.

It was from Sophie.

The message read, "Stanley,

congratulations on getting married. I still need a while longer to

recuperate, so I can't go back for et

I

now. I'm sorry I couldn't attend your wedding, and I know you're both worried about me. Please don't worry because I'm fine.

"Tell Xyla not to keep calling me as I shouldn't be disturbed while I'm recuperating. Rest assured that I'm all right, so don't worry. I'll be back in about a week. That's all ando

goodbye."

Stanley felt relieved when he read the message sent an hour ago. He then showed it to Xyla, who read it before sighing in relief.

Perhaps, she had overreacted in hindsight now that she knew Sophie was fine.

She immediately called her on Stanley's phone, only to find that his sister's phone had been switched off.

Sophie probably wanted some peace, hence why her phone was off. Perhaps they'd been disturbing her too frequently.

It was such a shame Sophie couldn't

attend

patiently wait now that she

knew the

edding, but Xyla would net

be back in

week.

She was in a much better mood now that her questions were answered.

She stretched lazily, gazing at Stanley. "Shall we go out and eat, or should we buy some ingredients to cook at home?"

"Let's eat out," he answered.
