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
After carefully going through each attire, Annabeth Cates finally put on a white cardigan dress…The dress had a white belt with Gucci’s logo on it.Annabeth looked much classier when she wore an international brand.Not only that, but her physique appeared better too…When Annabeth looked up, she saw how her waist was thin and her legs were long. Somehow, she had a noble aura.After making sure her outfit was fine, she carried the skincare products and cosmetic goods into the bathroom. After washing her hands at the spotless basin, she put on contact lenses.The contact lenses Sharon Lindt had brought were black, beautifying lenses. The moment she put them on, she suddenly felt as if her eyes had been enlarged…After that, Annabeth quickly smeared on a few layers of high-class skin care products.Once she was done, she used a beauty blender to put on a thin layer of high-quality liquid foundation.Annabeth then applied powder upon her face before fixing her eyebrows, eye shad
From behind, Sharon Lindt and Josh Batton didn’t look like mother and son at all. In fact, they looked more like a couple or siblings.Annabeth Cates really liked her future mother-in-law.Sometimes, human relationships were strange.Fate might have played a part. Sometimes, one would instantly like another person despite meeting them for the first time. However, the contrary also held true.Undoubtedly, it was the former for Annabeth when she met her future mother-in-law.Perhaps, it was because Sharon was a very approachable person. As a result, Annabeth didn’t feel so nervous anymore.With a smile on her face, Annabeth walked over and sat across from Sharon and Josh. Then, she started pouring tea for the two of them.Meanwhile, the game was getting intense. Sharon and Josh hadn’t noticed what Annabeth was doing at all.However, Annabeth didn’t mind.She also played League of Legends, and she knew very well that this was normal when one was playing.Soon, Sharon led Josh to
“Ms. Lindt, you flatter me. I’m the lucky one to be part of a family, like yours…” Annabeth Cates said softly.“You’re such a modest and kind child. I like you a lot,” Sharon Lindt said.“Since you and Josh have decided to get married, I’ll tell you what we expect from you…” Sharon said.“Sure, go ahead… I’m all ears.” Annabeth subconsciously sat up straight to listen carefully.Sharon instantly laughed. “Our expectations… There are actually none…”“Huh?” Annabeth was stunned.“We don’t ask anything of you. You don’t have to stay with us. After getting married, you can have an independent life together. We won’t get too involved with you…“Our only request is that you two can regularly come home to have meals with my husband and me.“It would be great if you could accompany me to shop frequently,” Sharon added.When Annabeth heard this, she liked her future mother-in-law even more.She knew that the Batton family adored their daughters-in-law.However, Annabeth thought that
Usually, the mother-in-law was the one who would have expectations toward her daughter-in-law. For example, the daughter-in-law would be expected to treat the husband in a certain way.This was the first time Annabeth Cates saw a mother making so many requests for her son before her future daughter-in-law.Annabeth truly felt that her future mother-in-law was unique.“I know. Thank you… Ms. Lindt,” Annabeth said.“Oh, right. I haven’t properly introduced myself… My name is Sharon Lindt. As you know, I’m Josh’s mother…” Sharon quickly extended her hand to Annabeth.Annabeth shook her hand. “I’m Annabeth Cates…”“Oh, right. Annabeth, what are your plans on managing your joint finances after the two of you get married?” Sharon asked.Annabeth was a little stunned. She hadn’t thought about this at all. “I haven’t thought about this…”“It doesn’t matter… You’ll have to be in charge,” Sharon said before turning to look at Josh. “Did you hear me?” she asked.Josh nodded obediently. “
