Annabeth Cates wanted to allow Josh Batton to return to his dwellings of purity.“Josh… I told you, I don’t need you to be responsible for me… Besides, I already have a boyfriend. So if you want to be responsible for me, wouldn’t that mean I’d have to abandon my boyfriend for you?” Annabeth asked.“I’m not the kind of person who would rush into a new relationship and break off the old one. Moreover, I don’t like you… That’s why you should stop messing around… I’m begging you, alright?” Annabeth added.Annabeth knew Josh’s temperament very well.He would do whatever he said.Since he said those things, that meant he had made up his mind to be responsible for her.Annabeth had no choice but to make up such a lie to avoid giving him such great pressure.This was the only way to relieve Josh of his burden…Josh didn’t have feelings for Annabeth at all. So since he didn’t like her, what’s the point of forcing him to be with her?Josh was shocked by what Annabeth said.He’d always
“But… I really can’t pretend nothing has happened, even if you want me to,” Josh Batton said truthfully.“What’s so hard about it? Josh… You don’t have to be this way. Alright… Let’s clean up. We’ve got to get to work,” Annabeth Cates said seriously.After that, Annabeth carefully patted Josh on the shoulder nonchalantly. “Alright… Stop whining. I’m a woman, and I’m not even whining. So why are you, a grown man, whining?“Besides, I don’t think I’ve lost anything from sleeping with a top-notch celebrity… So many people would line up to sleep with you…” Annabeth continued to speak consolingly.“Do you really think that way?” Josh seemed shocked.Josh didn’t think a traditional girl like Annabeth would have thoughts like this.Annabeth shrugged nonchalantly. “Yeah… That’s what I think. Let’s both stop thinking about it. Stay calm. Just pretend nothing happened. It’ll be fine…”Josh shook his head helplessly. “It’s already happened. How can I pretend as if nothing has happened?”“
When Josh Batton saw how nonchalant Annabeth Cates seemed to be, he felt much more relaxed, too…“Annabeth… For the stuff I mentioned about giving you, I’ve already asked someone to transfer those things to your name…” Josh said softly.Annabeth immediately panicked when she heard this. “I told you. I don’t want anything…”However, Josh smiled gently. “No. I insist…”“I’ll transfer the stuff back to you later…” Annabeth said.“The transfer fee is costly…” Josh replied.“No matter how expensive it is, I’ll do it.” Annabeth’s expression turned increasingly serious.Although huge houses and luxury sports cars were huge temptations to a girl like her from a mediocre household, she didn’t want to accept any of those things from Josh.Annabeth knew that Josh wanted to compensate her, but she didn’t need it at all.If she really accepted those things after sleeping with someone, what would she become?A high-class prostitute?“Stop messing around… Be good…” Josh said softly. There
Josh Batton smiled gently as he followed bodyguards into the mall with Annabeth Cates next to him. While he did so, he raised his hand and kept waving at his fans…Wherever he looked, people were screaming crazily…Their voices were shrill.There were even female fans who felt suffocated because they couldn’t handle how good Josh looked…Josh wore a champagne-colored silk shirt and a pair of light purple pants. He also had a casual, ash-green windbreaker on the outside and a pair of white sneakers.His hair was split in a neat three-to-seven ratio, and his bangs were slightly curled with hair wax.Josh had a clean, sharp, and refreshing appearance.Although it was clearly a very difficult style to pull off, Josh was able to do it perfectly and charmingly.“D*mn… He’s so handsome…”“What kind of god is this? I can’t take it anymore, sisters. I need an ambulance…”“Josh, focus on your work. You’re not allowed to get into a relationship. Wait for me to marry you!”Everyone said
Meanwhile, Annabeth Cates stood in the crowd and looked up at him with the rest.Although many people were around, there wasn’t any disruptive noise when Josh Batton really started to sing.In the world, his voice was the only one that resounded throughout the space.“I love you like how the moth fearlessly dives into flames.“Like how fallen leaves piled up can’t be blown away by the wind.“I love you like how rivers never stop flowing.“Like how weeds in the wild can never be completely burned away.”The initially touching lyrics became even more perfect with Josh’s magnetic and powerful voice…He deeply touched countless fans…Countless cameras and phones were pointed at his face.Regardless of the angle the photos were taken, Josh would always look good.Even the worst angles would still portray him as unfailingly handsome.Meanwhile, Annabeth was also silently humming along with Josh.While singing, Annabeth kept looking at his face.She also liked this song a lot.
Outside the car, fans were everywhere.To avoid hitting the fans, the car moved very slowly…Although they could’ve merged with traffic within a minute, it took them up to twenty minutes to do so…After merging with traffic, the fans gradually became blurry in their line of sight.Meanwhile, the sound of people shouting and cheering also faded away.Josh Batton became completely relaxed. He slowly removed his sunglasses before turning to look at Annabeth Cates. “I’ve already asked someone to check on the woman from last night…“She’s an internet celebrity from Flying Fish Media’s live stream platform. I’ll get someone to deal with her…” Josh added.“Alright…” Annabeth didn’t ask any further. She simply nodded.As if a thought suddenly occurred to her, she immediately shuddered and looked at Josh with a serious expression. “Umm… Take me to a pharmacy later. I want to buy something…”Last night, Annabeth and Josh didn’t use any contraception.If she became pregnant, the consequ
When Annabeth Cates saw that the call was from her middle school classmate, Julie Huckleberry, she immediately picked it up…Julie was Annabeth’s third-year middle school classmate who sat next to her. Julie was a very kind girl.Throughout Annabeth’s entire third year in middle school, they were practically inseparable.“Hey, Annabeth… Are you free the following Monday at eight o’clock in the evening? We’re having a class gathering at a hotpot restaurant in Atlantis Goldfield Plaza…“Would you like to come? About half of our classmates will be there. “Don’t you think it’s such a coincidence that most of our classmates are building their careers in Atlantis?” Julie said. She sounded somewhat excited.After hearing this, Annabeth immediately recalled her schedule before and after eight o’clock in the evening on the following Monday.Annabeth would be done with work at six o’clock in the evening the following Monday…Hence, she had time to attend the gathering.“Sure…” Annabeth
There were approximately fifteen people at each table. They had already finished ordering food. In fact, some had already begun to eat.Annabeth Cates felt a little uncomfortable looking at that scene before her.She arrived ten minutes ahead of the appointed time, and that meant she wasn’t late.Logically speaking, they should’ve waited for her briefly even if everyone else had arrived.However, they didn’t…Never mind that they ordered the dishes, but they had even begun to eat.Annabeth could sense deeply how this group of people were ignoring her.At one glance, she felt that many of them looked unfamiliar.She needed to look at them harder to identify who each of them was.After graduating from middle school for so many years, everyone’s face had changed due to age.Some had undergone cosmetic surgery, while others grew plump. Some lost weight and became thinner.The only person who hadn’t changed was Julie Huckleberry, who sat close to the door.When Julie saw that
