They had gotten used to it.Although this was the case, the two of them still felt speechless.Meanwhile, this was the first time Peggy experienced something like this. She felt thoroughly speechless.Peggy quickly walked over to the window and looked outside.Six young, well-dressed girls came into sight.Right then, all of them were looking up at their building.Each of them was screaming crazily.“J

“I’ll come with you,” Josh Batton said when he heard this. He naturally grabbed Annabeth Cates by the waist. He was extremely gentle with her.Seeing how gentle Josh was made Peggy Howards feel even more secure.“You’d better not. Although those desperate fans have been ushered away, it’d be very troublesome if you get recognized out there.“As for me, they don’t know me that well. As long as I disguise myself properly and keep a low profile, they probably won’t recognize me,” Annabeth added.“Don’t worry. We have bodyguards… Get ready. We’ll head out together,” Josh said before picking up a black cap on the coffee table. He then put it on before wearing his face mask and shades while walking toward the door…Peggy wanted to allow them to spend more time together. Hence, she didn’t plan on going with them.She merely smiled at Annabeth. “You two go ahead… I’ll wait for you at home.”“Alright…” Annabeth nodded.After that, Annabeth quickly put on her face mask, sunglasses, and c

“I did think of ways to deal with it, but nothing worked. Unfortunately, in the world we lived in, my cousin-in-law is much too powerful…” Annabeth Cates added.To those who are very powerful, many things are a walk in the park.However, for people like Annabeth and her family who were poor, those things were huge obstacles.To Josh, Annabeth’s cousin was a nobody.However, to Annabeth’s family, he was someone untouchable in the past.Only god knew how much Annabeth’s family had suffered because of her cousin-in-law.“My cousin-in-law even beat my cousin’s little brother and broke his leg. For that reason, my cousin was blamed by her parents. Her parents have not cared about her since…“Do you know why they blamed my cousin? When they first started dating, my cousin’s parents could already tell the man had a bad temper. So they didn’t want my cousin to be with him.“But there was no way my cousin would listen to him when she was so madly in love. So she ignored their warning an

“A pregnant woman shouldn’t consume these things… It’s not healthy,” Josh Batton said.However, Annabeth Cates looked pitifully at Josh. “Can’t I have it just once? I haven’t had it for a few months now. I really miss it,” she said softly.Seeing how pitiful Annabeth seemed, Josh’s heart softened. “Is it that good?”Annabeth nodded. “They are the best skewers in the world,” she said.“Fine… You can have them,” Josh said.After that, Josh casually held her hand, and their fingers interlocked. Then, he steered with his other hand. “Where is it? Lead the way…”“Turn left at the junction further ahead. There’s a small neighborhood known as Whittingham. Once we reach the neighborhood, the store will be in there,” Annabeth said.“Alright,” Josh said.Josh followed Annabeth’s directions, and they soon arrived at the store in Whittingham.The black Bentley and a few Mercedes-Benzes as well as BMWs stopped in front of the neighborhood’s entrance.Outside the small, run-down neighborho

The bodyguards surrounded them closely.The human wall around Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates was already solid enough. On top of that, each of them stood at 190 centimeters tall. Hence, the boss and his wife, as well as the two young women sitting nearby, couldn’t see what the two of them looked like at all.The boss was very quick at roasting the meat.It took him only slightly over ten minutes to roast all the meat on the skewers.Once he was done, he smeared his restaurant’s special sauce on the meat before sprinkling cumin and chili flakes over it.By the time the skewers were ready, the two young women had paid and left.Annabeth and Josh were the only customers left in the exterior dining area.Their bodyguards stood right next to them, and it made one feel pressured.Annabeth saw that the time was late, and there weren’t many people around. She then looked at the bodyguards. “You don’t have to keep doing this. Go and rest by the side…”The bodyguards nodded respectfully

When Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates made it to the main road, they suddenly heard people screaming in front of them. “Ahh… Josh Batton… That person looks a lot like Josh…”The two of them subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from.They could see three young ladies standing on the path in a small garden.There was a streetlight above their heads.Under the light, their shocked and excited expressions could be seen clearly.“Ahh… I think that’s him. Ladies, let’s go…”“Ahh… It really does look like him. I’m going mad. Ahh…”They sounded extremely excited…Neither Annabeth nor Josh expected to see this…Firstly, the road was far too dark. Neither of them noticed anybody around.Secondly, they didn’t think anybody would still be out this late.Those three girls were very close to them.Soon, they ran up to Josh and Annabeth.When they saw Josh’s face, they became even more excited…“Ahh… Josh… It’s really you. Why would you come to our neighborhood?”“

Josh Batton’s fans were very passionate, but they knew their boundaries.They carefully took a few pictures with Josh and Annabeth Cates before bidding farewell and leaving reluctantly.Meanwhile, Josh and Annabeth saw them off and departed from the neighborhood together.After leaving the neighborhood, they returned to Annabeth’s house.The moment they walked into the house, Annabeth’s phone started ringing.A news article was published on Weibo. “Annabeth and Josh showed up in Whittingham, Belleville, for skewers.”Annabeth didn’t expect news to travel so fast.After all, it was already quite late at night.When she tapped on the news article, she saw a screenshot of a few group photos of her with Josh and his three female fans shared by a marketing account on Weibo.The photos came from the three girls, respectively.They all published those photos with captions that matched their excitement. “Ahh… Who would’ve guessed that we’d bump into Josh in our neighborhood?”Apart

However, there were already more than three million shares, likes, and comments below it.Josh Batton was forever receiving the greatest amount of attention—“I feel bad for those two who couldn’t recognize Josh. If I were them, I would’ve knocked my head against a wall.”“Josh is really handsome. He still looks good despite having his photo taken by a random person on the street…”“He’s still so striking without any makeup on and without being photoshopped. Josh, I’m sure nobody would disagree if I said you are the most handsome person in the entertainment industry.”“Ahh… He’s every woman’s dream. I want to be in Annabeth’s place. D*mn… Annabeth, I’m very jealous of you. Give Josh back to me…”“I really hope Josh will have a daughter with Annabeth. I heard that daughters tend to take after their father. If that’s true, we’d have another beauty in the world.”The fans’ words were all laden with a passionate love for Josh and jealousy toward Annabeth Cates.Although there were
