Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Chapter 265

“We’ve met, but she still doesn’t know who I am. It’s difficult to explain certain things to you right now.

Just remember that she belongs to me. As for everything else, don’t say too much, and don’t ask too

much, got it? Just like how I don’t get involved with your work in the entertainment industry, and haven’t

exposed your identity, I hope you can treat me in the same way,” Stanley said each word sternly.

Although Josh did not understand what exactly Stanley was trying to say, he nodded and did not ask

any further.

“I’ve got it,” said Josh, nodding again.

“Alright, go and make things clear,” said Stanley as he took out his lighter and played with it. A small

flame flickered between his fingers.

“I understand, and I won’t keep thinking about my sister-in-law anymore.”

“Yeah. I hope you can keep your promise,” replied Stanley.

Getting out of the car, Josh took a deep breath before turning around and heading back into the

restaurant, waving his hand as he walked. He had no idea how he made his way back to the room

where Xyla was waiting for him.

All he knew was that his legs felt weak, and somewhere deep in his heart was hurting very badly. After

sorting out his emotions for a long while with his head lowered, Josh finally let out a long sigh and

pushed the door open as if nothing had happened. He walked directly over to Xyla.

By then, the dishes they ordered had already been served. All of them seemed intricately prepared.

However, Josh had completely lost his appetite.

Meanwhile, Xyla was elegantly slicing through the half-cooked filet in the center of her plate. The way

she moved seemed skilled and noble. Xyla was a wonderful person, but she would never belong to

Josh in this lifetime. Josh tried his best to suppress the emotions he was feeling.

Taking off his cap and mask, he smiled at her. “I’ve thought about it. I won’t wait for you anymore.”

Forcing himself to forget about all his hopes for a relationship with Xyla was the worst feeling in the

world.

Xyla was pleasantly surprised by Josh’s sudden change of mind. It felt as if somebody had lifted a

heavy rock off her chest. Josh must have said those things earlier in the heat of the moment. Now that

he had gone outside to cool off, he changed his mind.

Xyla smiled faintly with a gentle twitch of her brows. “I’m glad you’ve thought it through. Who were

those people? Are they bodyguards employed by your family?”

“They work for my big brother,” said Josh.

“You have an older brother? There’s no mention of that in your profile.”

“Just one.”

“Is he in a gangster?” asked Xyla.

“No.”

Xyla did not continue asking further. Since the man was not part of a gang, but still had so many

bodyguards working for him, he must be a successful person.

“Let’s eat,” said Xyla.

Josh did not say anything. Clearly not very excited, he silently sliced through his steak.

“What’s wrong? What did your big brother say to you?” Xyla asked concernedly.

“Nothing… Let’s eat.” Josh did not intend to say anything else.

Xyla fell quiet and silently ate.
