The Ugly Lady Strikes Back novel Chapter 769

“That’s good,” Xyla Quest said.

“What about you. Did you miss me?” Stanley Batton asked.

“Yeah, I do…” Xyla answered honestly.

“Be a good girl and wait for me. I’ll come back as soon as I’m done with work. Do you want any gifts?” Stanley said.

“Can I ask for anything?” Xyla asked.

“I’ll give you anything you want,” Stanley said.

“Can you give me the stars in the sky if that’s what I wanted?” Xyla said jokingly.

“That’s way too easy. Once they discover a new star in the galaxy, I’ll purchase it and name it after you…” Stanley said.

Xyla immediately felt warmth spreading in her heart when she heard this. “I was just kidding. I don’t want anything but you…”

When they finished talking, it was already eleven o’clock.

Xyla went into the shower to wash her hair and to clean off the soap bubbles all over her body. After that, she wrapped herself in a white bathrobe and quickly stood in front of the dressing table.

Once she dried her hair, she applied some skincare product on her face. She then dragged her exhausted body over to the bed and fell asleep on it.

However, Xyla didn’t sleep very well.

She was dreaming all night long.

There were all sorts of terrible dreams.

When Xyla woke up in the morning, she felt exhausted. It was as if there was a large, gloomy cloud looming over her head.

The exhaustion made her entire body feel uncomfortable.

After trying very hard to sit up, she forced herself to get out of bed and clean herself up.

The cold water helped her feel much better and awake, and her headache no longer felt as bad.

After quickly drying her face, Xyla put on make-up and began driving to Quest Group at top speed…

He seemed completely drained of color.

Sebastian slowly lifted his head up, and weakly looked at Xyla. “Yeah… Just as you can see…” He shrugged nonchalantly.

“Did you get hurt?” Xyla asked.

“No… But the car’s probably scrap metal now. I just called the car-towing service… Let’s go. Can you give me a lift?” Sebastian asked.

After that, Sebastian got into Xyla’s car right away.

Xyla quickly got in from the other side.

“Are you sure it’s okay to just leave your car behind like this?” Xyla asked.

“What could possibly go wrong? Let’s go… Please take me to the nearest hotel. I want to get a room and sleep,” Sebastian said.

Xyla didn’t ask further. She turned on the car engine. “How did you end up running into trees? It’s a wide highway.”
