Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Chapter 9

Very soon, Jeremy Quest walked in. After making his way through the door, he pulled a chair out and sat in front of the computer.

After that, Jeremy Quest sighed helplessly before softly brushing Xyla Quest’s hair. “I spoke too harshly to you yesterday. I would like to apologize.”

Xyla shook her head calmly. “Dad, it’s alright. I know you were just too upset yesterday.”

“To be honest, I thought about it after calming down. Even if you did those things, I think it’s reasonable… After all, they were too mean to you.” Jeremy gritted his teeth when he recalled what those people had done.

Xyla was touched by what her father said. She then leaned her head against Jeremy’s shoulder and said softly, “Dad, thank you for being on my side.”

“Silly girl, I’m your father. If I weren’t on your side, whose side would I be on?” Jeremy asked.

Xyla smiled like a naive kid.

“Sometimes, I think about whether I have made the mistake of remarrying after your mother passed away. If I hadn’t remarried, you would be the only daughter I ever have. Conflicts like this would not have happened. You wouldn’t have had to roam outside on your own for three years,” Jeremy uttered.

He sighed once again. “I am very sorry.”

Xyla shook her head. “Dad, you didn’t do anything wrong to me. Everyone has their right to search for happiness.”

“As for Emily being engaged to that jerk from the Sullivan family, there’s nothing you can do about it now. It would have been better if they weren’t engaged. However, it has already happened… I hope you can understand,” Jeremy said.

“Dad, I understand… Besides, there’s no reason for you to stop them. I don’t have feelings for Tom Sullivan anymore,” Xyla replied.

“I’m glad you are so considerate. Can you tell me where you have been for the past three years? To be honest, I did not believe it when Tom Sullivan told me that you eloped with someone else.”
