Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

"Yes, Ms. Quest is very open-minded. Normally, other parents wouldn't think this way."

"Yes, Leon and Lynette are so lucky to have you as their mother."

"That's stating the obvious. Only lucky people are born into the Batton family. Isn't that so?"

"Exactly. The twins are already lucky for a start."

Xyla Quest chuckled when she heard their comments. "There's no need to exaggerate."

The rest of them laughed. "We aren't. We are only speaking our minds."

Xyla chuckled without replying to them and began to talk to Lynette Batton and Leon Batton while repeatedly kissing and hugging them. It felt so satisfying to be able to sit with them.

After staying in the nursery for a long while, she eventually went downstairs to have her lunch.

As soon as she finished her meal, Xyla returned to the nursery to spend more time with her children before reluctantly leaving the house. Although she was eager to spend time at home with them, she couldn't do that because many things needed her attention out there.

She had to be somewhat like a female warrior who could handle anything, hence she was destined to give up a lot of time with her children.
