Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 909

When Henry Armstrong heard this, he immediately pinched his forehead and looked at Georgie Clementine seriously. "No... My feelings for you are real, Georgie. Can you give me a chance?" he asked. Henry had never regretted his playful past. However, after meeting this woman in front of him, he started to feel remorseful.

If only he had a good reputation, Georgie wouldn't avoid him like this.

Henry thought that perhaps this really was karma.

In the past, he was told that whatever debt he owed to someone else, he would, sooner or later, be made to repay it to someone else.

Henry never believed in stuff like this before, but now he truly believed so.

Perhaps, he had owed other people too much emotionally. That was why he ended up meeting Georgie.

Georgie was the one who would make him pay on behalf of everyone else...

He had a lot of ways to deal with anyone else. However, with Georgie, he was helpless.

There wasn't a woman in Atlantis who wouldn't treat Henry with respect and adoration when they saw him.

However, Georgie was different, and that was what Henry liked about her.

"No..." Georgie said firmly. Her decision was not to be challenged.

Since Georgie didn't like Henry, she wanted to make it clear. She didn't want to give Henry any false hope.

This had always been her principle.

Henry was speechless.

"Honestly, stop messing around. We're all very busy. I've got to go. Mr. Armstrong, thank you for the purse. Please don't give me anything else in the future... Also, remember to get rid of your confession on the screen..." Georgie said.

However, Henry grabbed Georgie's hand. "If you don't accompany me for a meal, I'll send the purse back to you again..."

Georgie felt as if a piece of sticky candy was stuck to her body.

She let out a long, helpless sigh. "Deal... I'll eat with you. After the meal, you'll let me go, and you won't return this purse to me again. You're not allowed to give me anything else, too... If you promise me that, I'll eat with you..." Georgie said.

Henry bared his hands. "Okay... We'll talk after the meal..."

Georgie looked down at her watch.

It was indeed already close to noon.

She hadn't had breakfast, and she was also feeling a little hungry now.

Georgie pushed his hands away. "What are we eating?"

"What do you want to eat?" Henry asked.

"I'm fine with anything..." Georgie said.

"There's a nice western restaurant nearby. I'll take you there..." Henry said.

"Alright..." Georgie said.

When Henry heard this, he immediately smiled joyfully. "In that case, sit here and wait for a while. I'll get changed, and we can go," he said.

Georgie nodded gently.

After that, Henry walked hastily up the stairs.

***

Because of Georgie, Henry purposefully entered the closet to dress up.

He put on a white, casual shirt, a pair of dark brown, ankle-length jeans, and a pair of white sneakers.

His short, thick hair was blow-dried neatly with a three to seven parting.

After making sure everything looked perfect, Henry leisurely walked downstairs while whistling.
