Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

"Beep, beep, beep-"

Right then, Henry Armstrong's phone started ringing too.

Stanley Batton was contacting him on WeChat through a video call.

Henry was pleasantly surprised. "What's going on? Why would he call me out of the blue? Could he be missing me?"

Henry wondered out loud in a self-absorbed manner before picking up.

Out of curiosity, Xyla Quest and the others turned to look at Henry.

After Henry picked up, Stanley's cool face appeared on the phone screen.

Henry waved at Stanley through the phone. "Hello... I know you miss me... We'll get together once you get back to the country. How long has it been since we last met?" "Henry... Send Xyla home after dinner," Stanley said.

"After ages of not calling me on video, you're now doing it because of Xyla?" Henry asked.

"Why else would I be calling you?" Stanley replied.

"Uhm... I thought you missed me," Henry said.

"You don't deserve to be missed," Stanley said.

Henry was speechless.

"Understood?" Stanley asked.

"Yes... Understood," Henry replied.
