Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

“I bought that mansion a long time ago, together with this one. It’s been empty this whole time. The renovations and interior layout are very much like this one. What do you guys think?” asked Jeremy.

For a moment, Xyla didn’t know how to answer. Because of one minor oversight, many things now had to change. Since Five Batton had said that he would reside in the country permanently, her father would definitely arrange for a house for them to live together. If she kept living at her maternal home like an unmarried young lady, it would be most inappropriate. “It’s okay, Dad. Don’t I have a duplex building under my name in the city center? My husband and I can stay there instead…” she said.

She couldn’t possibly agree to stay next door. If she did, that would mean having to spend every single day with Five Batton. If they didn’t stay together, her father would definitely find out. Hence, it was better to say that they would live in the city center. That place was far from home, far from her father’s radar. Even if she lived alone, it was impossible for her father to find out.

Jeremy’s expression fell. “Xyla, do you really have to do this?”

“Dad, what do you mean?” asked a confused Xyla.

She could sense that her father was angry, but for what reason, she had no idea.

“I’m asking you to stay next door because I’m reluctant to let you be so far away from me, do you understand? I originally wanted you guys to just stay here, but I’m not an old-fashioned person. I know that you youngsters need your space, so I came up with this idea to let us meet in the middle,” said Jeremy, looking upset.
