Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1991

Georgie Clementine shrugged helplessly.

“Fine, we’ll eat at home,” Henry Armstrong nodded, fully understanding how Georgie’s parents felt.

Parents around the world would do anything for their children.

At this moment, he had a deeper sense of respect for Georgie’s parents.

That evening, everyone had a sumptuous meal of hot pot at home amidst a joyful banter.

Henry knew how to make his future in-laws happy, repeatedly joking while never stopping putting food onto their plates throughout the meal.

Although Henry came from a wealthy family, he didn’t behave like a snobbish person at all and managed to keep Georgie’s parents happy all on his own.

The two of them grew even more fond of him now as they talked and laughed all night long.

Georgie felt extremely satisfied as she observed this, thinking that she had indeed found the right person.

Halfway through the meal, the doorbell started ringing.

Ding-dong. Ding-dong.

Hearing it, Henry immediately stood up to walk to the door. “I’ll get it.”

A group of middle-aged women was outside when he opened the door.

They had looks of joy and admiration in their eyes as their gaze landed on him, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable about being stared at in such a way.

He laughed awkwardly. “Hello, everyone. Who are you people?”

“Let’s not stand around, everyone. Come to the living room and have a seat,” she said with an inviting smile.

The guests eagerly made themselves comfortable on the couches, some pulling up chairs and stools to surround the coffee table.

“Henry, Georgie, you two should continue eating dinner while I have a chat with our neighbors,” Georgie’s mother said as she looked affectionately at Henry.

He nodded before helplessly leading Georgie back into the dining room.

Halfway through the process, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach followed by a warm sensation traveling down her lower body.
