Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2146

Annabeth Cates used to be secretly envious of Xyla Quest in the past.

However, she knew clearly at the time that being temporarily envious was all she could do and life went on. She continued being her ordinary self without a halo over her head.

Who knew God would one day give her what she wanted the most?

Even now, she still felt as if she was in a dream.

“Mom, the video looks great,” she praised as she watched the footage.

“Exactly. My mother’s skills are so good that I think she could record a music video,” Josh Batton spoke up.

“Yeah, my wife is indeed amazing. Being a housewife is a waste of her talent. I’m sure she’d be a great director if she were to work in the entertainment industry,” Wilson Batton added with a smile.

Sharon Lindt beamed with pride as she heard them.

Everybody liked receiving compliments, especially Sharon.

Grinning broadly, she could barely hide the joy in her eyes. “You’re all being too nice.”

“We mean what we say,” her husband told her.

“I know.”

Sharon wasn’t self-obsessed, but she thought she did a good job with the video. She managed to capture the essence of the moment and had utilized an excellent color tone that was easy on the eyes.

“Exactly. I believe this would even do well in cinemas,” Josh said.

“Of course! That’s how good I am,” his mother declared proudly without shame.

“Yes, you’re the best,” Annabeth agreed.

“Great! We’ll get to see the twins. They are so adorable that we just can’t leave them alone. I’d miss them even if I only spent a short time away from them,” Josh said.

Perhaps, it was because they were related by blood, or it could also be because the children were far too adorable. It might also be because there was a strong bond between them.

Josh frequently thought of them, missing them after not seeing them for some time.

Annabeth nodded in agreement. “Yeah, me too. I love them dearly although they aren’t my children.”

“Familial ties are difficult to explain,” Sharon said.

“That’s true.”

“How have your parents been lately, Annabeth?” Sharon asked.

Right on cue, Annabeth’s phone started ringing.
