Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2303

"Freedom is important to me, but you and our child are even more important. As long as we can be together, I'm willing to give up the freedom I've always yearned for," Rachel Wood said. Sebastian Brenand felt very touched when he heard that.

He hugged her tightly. "Thank you, Rachel. You're such a kind and understanding person.

"Do you have any idea how lucky I am to meet someone so gentle, pretty, and kind like you? You've helped me get rid of a lot of my bad habits.

"Through you, I finally understand what it means to love and what a real family should be," he expressed thoughtfully with a somber expression.

"What about my parents? Should we tell them?" she wondered.

"It's up to you, but it's better if we don't, to be honest. That's the safest option," he answered.

It made sense, so she agreed with a nod. "Then we won't tell them. Once the baby is born, we'll surprise them with news that they've become grandparents."

Sebastian felt his heart melting at her words. With a wife like Rachel, what else could he ask for?

"I love you, Rachel." His affectionate gaze intensified as he spoke.

"I love you, too, Sebastian. May the three of us live happily ever after. I have a simple wish. I just want us to be together. We don't need to be rich. I'm happy with mundane life," she admitted.

To her, happiness was having someone to love and being loved in return. She didn't need wealth or extravagance.

What they had now was enough.

"I think differently," he said after a moment's hesitation. "I think happiness means giving my family a luxurious life. I don't want you to ever worry about money. You will always get whatever you want right away.

"A mundane life is good. A life without luxury can also be wonderful, but you know what? Days like that would only be fine for a short while.

"After some time, it won't seem that great anymore when we start arguing over small things. No one can handle the stress of poverty." He had worded his thoughts carefully.

"But I think I would be happy even if we were poor. All that matters is that I can be with you," she stated simply.

"I will never allow my wife to be poor.

Soon, he was making big bucks every day, leaving Rachel to count the bills constantly.

They lived peacefully day by day, surrounded by wealth.

Nobody knew Rachel was pregnant, and nobody pondered the possibility, either.

As soon as he sat down, someone knocked on the door, prompting him to glance over. "Come in."

His secretary, Selena Underwood, walked in.

She was a sexy woman with the body type that all men desired.

She also had a pretty face.

The casual way she walked was an alluring sight.

However, Sebastian never bothered to look at her twice.

She didn't think much of it. Instead, she smiled and walked up to him.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Here's the thing, Boss. I've got something to ask you," she started to say.

"Go on."
