Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2322

Xyla Quest felt instant relief after removing her heels, her entire body relaxing after a long day walking around in them.

She was getting worn out from standing straight to maintain her elegant posture during the party.

No matter how badly her feet hurt, she held herself together and remained composed while conversing with guests next to Stanley Batton.

Now, she could finally stop pretending in front of her family.

Sharon Lindt noticed how exhausted she seemed and looked over at Stanley. “Stanley, give your wife a massage. Look at how tired she is.”

Her son immediately nodded and placed Xyla’s legs on his thighs before carefully kneading her sore legs.

Stanley was getting really good at giving massages.

He managed to press on all the right spots on the soles of her feet.

Xyla began to feel completely relaxed as if all the blockages in her body had disappeared.

“And you," Sharon said, shifting her eyes to Josh Batton. "Although your wife might not be as tired as Xyla, shouldn’t you learn from your brother?”

Annabeth Cates gave an awkward chuckle then. “No, I’m fine. I snuck away from the crowd and lazed around a lot.”

Despite her assurance that she was fine, Josh slowly removed her heels and began to massage her legs carefully.

Feeling more refreshed already, she flashed a smile at Sharon. “Mom, you’re exaggerating.”

“Does it feel good?” Sharon asked with a chuckle.

Annabeth and Xyla nodded simultaneously.

She then held his hand and gazed at the two couples. “I am pleased to see how you all love each other so much.

“You have no idea how envious people were of you today. Even my friends were close to tears.

“However, there’s no point in being envious. My friends are all self-centered women, as are their daughters-in-law. They couldn’t possibly live like how we do.”

She beamed at her family with pride while she spoke about them.

She genuinely felt proud of her sons for doing so well in life.

It was everything she wanted the most as their mother.

Nothing made her feel happier than seeing her sons and daughters-in-law happy.
