Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 916

Since it did work on her, he ought to keep using it until she fell for him.

Georgie Clementine tensed up. “That was a special case, alright? It’s over now, so stop taking advantage of me.”

“Fine. Let’s call you something else since you hate the word ‘honey’. Should I go with ‘babe’? ‘Sweetheart’? What about ‘darling’?” Henry Armstrong teased.

Georgie cringed at all of them, goosebumps racing down her skin.

“What ‘babe’, ‘sweetheart’, and ‘darling’? They’re all disgusting!” Georgie was nauseated by Henry’s shamelessness.

Henry’s mischievous grin did not falter even for a second. “So… You prefer ‘honey’ over those names, right? Alright then, I’ll keep calling you ‘honey’. Otherwise, I’ll call you ‘babe’, ‘sweetheart’, and ‘darling’…”

Georgie was at a loss for words.

She felt like she had been pestered by a chewing gum.

She could not get rid of him no matter how hard she tried.

“Henry! Is it fun to tease me?”

“Well, it’s pretty interesting.”

“Can you stop being so shameless?”

“Hehehe, no…”

Speechless with indignation, Georgie ignored him and pulled out her phone to play Honor of Kings.

She glanced at the time. The food should be ready after a round of the game.

“Honey, what are you looking at?”

“I’m playing Honor of Kings.”

Henry chuckled at her response.

Blush seared through Georgie’s cheeks, all the way to her neck when she heard him laughing.

She frowned and glared at Henry frustratedly. “Henry! How dare you take advantage of me?!”

Henry shrugged innocently, his smile widening. “Did I?”

“…”

Georgie rolled her eyes at him. “You? Lead us to victory?”

“Of course. What? Do you not believe me? What level are you, honey?” Henry looked confident.

“The strongest king,” Georgie replied without hesitation.

Her face turned cherry red as soon as she answered.

What the hell? Why did she respond to him again?

Henry Armstrong!

Shameless bastard!

“What a coincidence! I’m the strongest king too. The strongest king, and the strongest queen… We’re a perfect match for each other, aren’t we?” Henry beamed at her.

Georgie could not care any less about him. She averted her gaze back to her phone screen and focused on the game.

Suddenly and without warning, Henry took away her phone.

Georgie frowned in disdain. “What the heck are you doing?”
