“Ah, monster!”
“That’s so scary! Did someone cut off half of his face? That’s terrible!”
The passersby’s reactions hurt Quinton’s self-esteem badly. He quickly put his mask back on and smiled bitterly.
“Sorry for scaring you.”
“N-No…” Renee felt sorry for Quinton and comforted him, “I think you’re very handsome. Your eyes are very much
like Mom’s – gentle and determined. Your mouth is very much like Dad’s. You have beautiful lips. You’re really my
brother. If we weren’t blood-related, I would’ve fallen in love with you at first sight!”
“Really?” Quinton’s eyes brightened immediately. Quinton had always wondered what his mother looked like. He
had imagined it countless times, but it never felt real. However, when Renee described her, her image immediately

“Of course. You can ask Lei too. She’s Mom and Dad’s goddaughter and often visited us. She knows Mom and Dad’s
faces very well… Right, Lei?”
“Y-Yes!” Leia had been startled by Quinton’s scar earlier, but when she thought about it, Quinton actually had a
handsome face. His handsomeness was no less than Stefan and Xavier’s. In fact, he was even more perfect than
Stefan and Xavier.
Quinton’s eyes, which he inherited from his mother, looked like they held many stories. Renee’s mother had been
as famous as Francine back then. She had been the most beautiful person in North City!
“Quinton’s eyes are exactly the same as Godmother’s eyes. I was stunned, I thought I saw my godmother…” Leia
said with a sincere look on her face.
“That’s great.” Quinton finally regained his self-esteem. Renee and Leia’s praises had put a smile on his face, and
he glowed like an elegant prince.
Xavier, on the other hand, said coldly, “Gee. Stefan was ruthless back then and cut his face so badly. He’s like a
monster. Who wouldn’t have a nightmare after seeing him?
Renee and Leia were at a loss for words.
Xavier asked, “Why are you both glaring at me? Did I say something wrong? He knows what his face looks like.
Otherwise, why would he wear a mask? He may lose himself because of your excessive praise. If he stops wearing
the mask, he may scare the children. Even if he doesn’t scare the kids, what if he scares innocent passersby?”
Leia could not take it anymore and punched Xavier hard in the stomach. “Xavier, just shut up, will you?!”
“Oww! It hurts!” Xavier covered his stomach and grimaced in pain. He blurted out, “Leia! Damn! Are you trying to
murder your husband?”
Immediately, Leia froze. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she stopped talking.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXavier took a while to calm down. After that, he said solemnly, “Don’t be angry! I’m saying it for his own good!”
Then, he turned to Quinton, who had an icy expression on his face. “Quinton, haven’t you considered getting a
plastic surgeon to restore your handsome face?”
“No!” Quinton gritted his teeth and replied in annoyance. Quinton was already at the limit of his patience. Xavier
was just a frivolous man and another rich kid like Stefan. If it were not for Renee, he would have killed him!
“No? That doesn’t matter. Universal Entertainment may not be familiar with all kinds of business, but we’re
renowned for our plastic surgery services. Nine out of ten artists in our company have undergone plastic surgery. I
know a highly-skilled plastic surgeon called Ghost. He can surely save this face of yours!” Xavier said
enthusiastically.
“Really?” Quinton frowned. Xavier’s words sparked a glimmer of hope in him. Who would not want to have a normal
face if they could?
