Josh Batton cared a lot about the glory, status, and fame he had acquired over many years in the entertainment industry.That was because none of it came easy.Although these things were important to him, he had something even more important now.His responsibilities were much more important than these things…Marrying Annabeth Cates and having a child with her were his responsibilities.Providing Annabeth and their child a bright future and not leaving them in the dark were his responsibilities as a husband and father…When Annabeth heard this, her heart felt even warmer.Feeling touched, she suddenly didn’t know what to say.Annabeth clenched her fists tightly and took in a deep breath. After that, she slowly exhaled and lowered her head. “Are you sure you won’t regret this?” she murmured.Josh chuckled. “I won’t regret it… What about you? Will you regret having a child with me?” he asked.Annabeth immediately shook her head…She would have no regrets in this life about ha
Inside, there was news from some marketing accounts about how Josh Batton’s fans abandoned him.Since the time Josh made the public announcement, which was less than twenty minutes ago, he had already lost a total of two million followers…What did this mean?It was practically horrifying…When Annabeth Cates scrolled down, she saw even more hateful comments from Josh’s fans directed at him. They blamed him for being irresponsible by getting married so suddenly, and they also criticized him for being in a relationship even though he was an idol…Moreover, they criticized him for not behaving like an idol because he announced he was getting married at the height of his popularity…Many fans were showing their true feelings. They all cried painfully.“I started liking you ever since you first made your debut. I saw you grow and reach the highest point in your career. I thought you’d only get better. I didn’t think you’d destroy your career. Josh, are you getting married? If that’s
When Josh Batton saw Annabeth Cates frowning at her phone, he knew what she was looking at without even having to guess.Josh slowly entered the car before turning on the car engine. “Don’t worry. Things will be fine after we get past this hurdle…”“Your fans are unfollowing you…” Annabeth said.“Yeah, just as expected,” Josh said.Annabeth frowned deeply without saying anything. Instead, she silently opened Josh’s Weibo page.She realized that he had already lost five million fans on Weibo.In the short period that she scrolled through the hot topics, the number had already reached five million.Josh’s fans were different from other idols’ fans…Other idols would purchase fake fans to make themselves appear popular.However, Josh’s fans were all genuine fans.The company had never bought a single fan for Josh.What did losing five million fans mean?This was an inestimable loss.“You’ve already lost five million followers…” Annabeth added.Josh was still calm. “Yeah, as
Some of those who were psychologically less resilient would also choose to unfollow Josh Batton.“What’s done is done. There’s nothing you can change, even if you’re worried. Don’t think too much. Trust in X Entertainment. Trust in me, okay?” Josh said consolingly.Annabeth Cates nodded gently…She didn’t say anything further.She was worried that Josh might feel even more uncomfortable if she said too much.“Annabeth, from tomorrow on… You don’t have to go to the office. Stay at home and rest…” Josh changed the topic.“You’re pregnant now. You should look after your body. On top of that, the fetus is also in a unique position. So you need to be even more careful… After all, something dangerous might easily happen if you miscarry…“There will definitely be a lot more reporters coming to interview me over the next few days. There would also be a lot of extremist fans. Things might get messy. It’s dangerous…” Josh added.“Okay.” Annabeth nodded…Josh’s words made sense. She woul
Annabeth Cates felt deeply touched once again.Suddenly, tears filled her eyes.‘Josh, you’re a very good person. I love you so much…‘Let’s be together for the rest of our lives.‘I’ll love you forever and never leave you.’ Annabeth thought.“Stay at my house tonight… The paparazzi are bound to find out where you live and look for you there.“In fact, some people might even sell that information to fans…” Josh Batton said.Annabeth nodded. “Alright,” she said.***As a safety precaution, Josh didn’t return to the house he usually stayed in.Instead, he brought Annabeth to a high-class villa he owned by the beach.The villa had three floors, and it was only a short distance away from the ocean.Annabeth often came here with Josh. Hence, she was no stranger to this place.After entering the villa, Josh switched on the lights…He then held Annabeth’s hand and led her into the living room.This villa had a minimalistic European style to its design.Sky blue and white were
Right then, Weibo still hadn’t been fixed yet.Annabeth Cates tried several times before she finally managed to log in to Weibo…There was still a lot of discussion on Weibo’s hot topics.The ten previous topics still occupied the same spots on the list of hot topics.Annabeth Cates had over 9,999 unread messages on Weibo.When she opened her inbox, she saw that the messages were all from Josh Batton’s fans.“Tell me. What method did you use to seduce Josh? You’re shameless. Disgusting…”“You're worthless. Do you think you can become someone important by getting married to Josh?”“You must have set Josh up, right? You snuck into his bed, got yourself pregnant, and forced him to marry you. Aren’t you tired?”These spiteful comments once again annoyed Annabeth.Instead of replying, she quickly exited from the page.Right then, all the celebrities and bloggers she followed were all talking about what happened between her and Josh.The celebrities were half-heartedly offering t
Immediately after that, Josh Batton walked in with a few bags that had luxury brands’ logos on them.Josh was wearing a dark blue, loose, V-neck shirt with a pair of long, white pants.His sexy collar bones, long neck, and perfect jawline were evident…He appeared very bright and relaxed like this.Annabeth Cates felt joyful just by watching him silently like this.“Josh… Good morning…” Annabeth said.Out of curiosity, she looked at the bags.Various female attire and undergarments came into sight…Josh smiled a little before walking up to her. He reached out and gently ruffled her bangs. “Why are you up so early? Were you unable to sleep well in an unfamiliar environment?”His voice and gaze were refreshing…“No. I just had a lot on my mind,” Annabeth said softly.“Silly girl. Didn’t I tell you already? The company and I will take care of everything… Don’t worry. The company will sort things out.“Georgie just called me a while ago. The Public Relations Department has been
Although Annabeth Cates knew that she would soon meet Josh Batton’s parents, she didn’t think it would happen this suddenly and this soon.She still felt nervous.Would Josh’s mother, Sharon Lindt, like her?Would it unfold like how it does in idol dramas?For example, would Sharon bribe her with a lot of money to leave Josh?Annabeth hoped not.The fact that Sharon bought clothes for Annabeth should mean that she didn’t dislike Annabeth.Right then, Annabeth suddenly had a lot of questions on her mind.She unintentionally became tense.When Josh saw her like this, he naturally knew what she was thinking.Josh naturally embraced her. “Alright, don’t worry. My mother won’t eat you. She knows you’re pregnant, and she couldn’t be happier about it…”“Really?” Annabeth was pleasantly surprised.“Yeah… Haven’t I told you about my mother? She’s a child at heart. She’s very approachable, and she doesn’t care who her children marry,” Josh said.“No, I should say that she doesn’t ca
